AI controlled drones directed by AI collected and analyzed signals intelligence.
- Comment on This will help me. I always have a problem hearing regular sized print books 1 week ago:
I think this has to do with the words per minute read back speed. I find that audiobooks from books with large font are read slower than the audiobook versions of books with smaller type. The last two audiobooks I’ve heard are The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh and Project Hail Mary. The former was read more slowly than the latter and had about 3 to 4 times bigger type.
- Comment on Memories. And we thought it could never get any better than this 1 week ago:
I would have done shameful things for that dl speed in 1998.

In one of the Mission Impossible movies Tom Cruise is supposed to have a boring job no one will ask him about and the movie shows this by having the character talk about traffic patterns. I thought it was interesting information then and think it is interesting now.
- Comment on My brother got arrested for a dime bag. His picture got put up on the jails website. And they advertise. So shouldn't my brother get paid at least a little for providing clicks? 1 week ago:
Thank you for making the second point. It does suck that I am forever searchable on an arrest database but I’ll take that over the cops being able to disappear me as a matter of course, as opposed to having to do extra work to disappear me. This is why the suspension of due process for ANY crime is bad. I know I’m preaching to the choir here.

Lucky fly. It’s still so hot in Houston.

It’s like that “charge your iphone in the microwave” image that went around for a while but writ large and in language tailored to be more convincing.

A poisoning that’s rarely seen anymore but used to be more common. The heaps of data on bromism over the decades must not have made it into the training data.
- Comment on Bungie CEO Pete Parsons retires: With Destiny 2 sentiment at an all-time low and pressure from Sony growing, Parsons has decided it's time to 'pass the torch' and head for an exit 2 weeks ago:
I didn’t know destiny 2 was still going. I played it for like a year after release before getting tired of it but it was fun enough. The only game I’ve played since then was elden ring so I’m not real up on the times

Everyone knows that if it’s a real spying app that they have to tell you
- Comment on i just think they're neat 2 weeks ago:
You have an accent aggue on your name, so I’m inclined to believe you, but so do I. I do I don’t know how much authority it really imbues. Can you be trusted?
- Comment on What's good to know before transferring from Emergency to Operation Room as a nurse? 2 weeks ago:
Go to the OR. I worked ED a long time and my happiest coworkers left for either OR or specials. You already do recovery and patient education as an ER nurse. I prefer ermds to surgeons usually but that’s just whatever. ER is better if you’re trying to climb the corporate ladder but you can do that from anywhere if you join enough committees. If you already have hem/onc floor experience I would look at ambulatory infusion center too. Once you get certified it’s cake and I loved the work/patients when I was there briefly. I don’t want to be down on the ED but most people know in less around a year if they can tolerate it long term. RN stands for refreshments and narcotics right?
- Comment on CATL announces sodium batteries that cost as little as $10/kWh, a massive price reduction compared to the current average of $115/kWh for lithium-ion batteries. 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, just double or so the amount of space you’d need for lifepo4. Good if you have some space

Chain mail scrubber. That’s my go to as well

I thought the gardening in NZ thing was legit? Are there not foods you can buy in the store but are illegal to grow yourself?

- Comment on "ok, imagine a gun." 4 weeks ago:
I like <method of creating force> + hammer above nail gun but to your second point. Nail guns can be deadly without modification. Just close up work. They sell these and others like them at big box stores. This would be, in my favored naming convention, a gunpowder hammer.
- Comment on "ok, imagine a gun." 4 weeks ago:
Cool thx
- Comment on "ok, imagine a gun." 4 weeks ago:
I think press works for Caulk and glue. Stapler is used already for the machine that sits on a desk as opposed to the hand held construction style. Finger pointers is certainly descriptive but when people do “finger guns” the thumb usually mimics the hammer action. What else are they miming? Am I so inundated with gun culture I was unable to think of another use for the thumb?
I think bottles were around before firearms but Staple, nail and Caulk guns were not.
- Comment on "ok, imagine a gun." 4 weeks ago:
All the things you listed either shoot projectiles and/or have triggers. What else do you call trigger operated projectile launchers? Also Caulk guns legitimately look like old timey machine guns.
- Comment on Evolution of the k'chain che'malle, pretty much 4 weeks ago:
Thanks! I haven’t heard of the author or series so I’m pretty stoked to give it a try.
- Comment on Evolution of the k'chain che'malle, pretty much 4 weeks ago:
I’ve read it. While I appreciate it as a whole, and really like a good bit of it, I found enough of it to be a slog that I only recommend it to people who already read fantasy. Do you have any other recommendations in the same vein?

One month rent was the going rate for a real estate agent to fill a rental for you in my area 6 months ago

I assume this is something gross but I don’t get it?

MaybeI’m wrong but I think you might oxidize all your produce faster. I do think you should try though.

This is useful for those trying to convey more precisely the amount of fucks they give.

Malazan is the best. It’s the bar by which i measure other fantasy.
