There was a cheapo Japanese restaurant downtown. Plastic everything. Went there for lunch a while back. Worst Bento box ever.
Six months later. Hmm, Bento box sounds good. Go to this Japanese restaurant. Halfway through the awful meal, remember I’d been there! Swore never to go back. Again.
This cycle repeated SIX times.
What broke it was the whole building burning to the ground because of a grease fire.
Point is… hmm… Bento for lunch sounds good.

Agnostic, for development. iOS and Android.
Daily driver is iPhone, but keep a Pixel for staying uptodate with services and latest updates.

If you have a password manager, you can set the answers to random, junk strings. My first pet? Why, dear Flag!spl@tch9. As long as the answers match next time.
And if they give you the option to create your own question, that could be a random string. As well as the answer. Static noise is your friend.
It’s lazy security.

- Comment on Nvidia Announces DLSS 5, and it adds... An AI slop filter over your game 1 week ago:
Nvidia actually used two RTX 5090s for its demos: one plays the game, the other exclusively runs the DLSS 5 technology. The use of two GPUs is required right now as DLSS 5 still has a long way to go in terms of optimisation - both in terms of performance and its VRAM footprint. However, DLSS 5 is designed for use on a single GPU and that’s how it will ship later this year.
So much easier when you can just throw 2x the hardware at things. Let’s wait and see how it works on a single card.
Also, guessing it will be set up so developers can turn it on and off as needed in their game. If they make it a user-facing global setting, it will quickly turn into a meme generator.

You said “two of the three reviewers found substantive deficiencies in rationale, design, validation of results, interpretation, and presentation.”
So… what is left?

Small privacy leak. Carry on.
- Comment on You know you wanna 4 weeks ago:
Remember, every time there is a cautionary, public sign, it’s likely because more than one person (and likely more) did what the sign said you should NOT do.
Nobody puts up a sign as a theoretical deterrent. It happened.

If worried about falling asleep and drowning, you can always take a household pet in the tub to nudge you awake.
Little-known fact is that cats are very good at this.

- Comment on [meta] Wanted: Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show, with English subtitles _and_ cultural refernce notes 1 month ago:
I posted the BSKY link, but noticed you linked to it in the edit. One tip, though. Each time the screenshotted posts end, she continues in the reply to that post. Might be a thread-limit on bsky.
I don’t go on r*ddit much at all any more, but had to take a
bulletpeek, hoping someone had an explanation for some of the references: www.reddit.com/r/NoStupidQuestions/s/Y4RVLaPfsxPS: the old and new subdomain trick didn’t work for me – they’re now enforcing login. YMMV.
Side note: JFC, that place is positively larded with ads now. But the halftime show was so damn good it was worth getting slimed.

Checked out the book on Internet Archives (linked in comments).
It all seems so nostalgic and free-spirited now. Was way before my time, but I’ve been to a few of those beaches. So many of them are so conventional now. Guessing people are way more uptight, but maybe also cognizant of the risks of skin cancer.
Bonus: 2/3 of the way in, a surprising amount of copy was spent on technical aspects of nude photography.
