Guess I’m not buying another Nintendo product. The Wii is fun. Fuck these guys.

I’m going on holidays tomorrow. Should I take a gamble?

It’s one really important reason that kids should ride free as long as they’re full time students.

If you grow up driving everywhere it is very engrained.

Bab-al whatever I was seeing this girl once, Babs had great tits.

Pay attention to them. They’ll lose context sometimes. Safari reloads tabs. You lose your place in Facebook or whatever. App Store goes from a search result to the homepage. Happens all the time. Some apps are better about saving context than others.

There should be a drafts section saving the post context, I agree. No idea how it would be done.

GPU usage drops from 70% to 3% by hiding side bar, Thanks alot.

It’s like they’re trying to maximize power consumption even by their users.

Pattern recognition was “AI” until LLM took over almost all meaning of the phrase. One of the reasons corporations were supposed to store everything (storage is cheap) was to feed pattern recognition models.

It dumps itself if there’s not enough RAM available and there never is. Voyager doesn’t save your scroll/community position unfortunately and it just puts the draft up when you start writing your next post - no matter where you are.

Last time I was there it was crazy and I can only imagine now with delivery apps.

The rise of e bikes helps.

I wonder to what extent birds are impacted by heat pumps. They’re a low hum - quieter than they used to be though.

Not to be a China apologist but why would USA fare better? USA is investing heavily in legacy fossil fuel, has crumbling infrastructure, no manufacturing expertise, has destroyed its ability to sign trade treaties, is working hard to destroy its image as a military superpower, and the economy is based on military handouts or an AI bubble depending on your outlook.

Whether it’s Chinese influence or not, there is a swell of anti-immigrant sentiment in most western countries right now, which is causing considerable amount of division, especially considering that they are in many cases dependent on that source of constant growth; China is doubling down on ethnic identity and nationalism. While humans certainly draw strength from our differences, there’s a tremendous amount of power to be gained by having a strong national identity.

Guarded the strait

Sure have an odd way of doing that.

It’s pretty obvious:

• too soon for nostalgia
• half the movie and characters is animated anyways

Setting aside terrorism, it just takes a confused septuagenarian in a car.

Shingles is a herpes. Other herpes viruses are also linked to dementia. It’s probably not a coincidence.

More than a few low quality episodes, a couple flashback episodes, and extensive repetition before commercial breaks. It wasn’t good TV.

No link to study, only to economist (paywall). Ugh.

Western politicians are much cheaper

The result is property developers buying up swathes of land and leaving it vacant until the market reaches a frenzy and they can charge an unholy price for their crappy tract homes built by subcontractors under extreme cost reduction pressures. It doesn’t meet market demand, not remotely.

Zoning and local councils are certainly complicit.

Of course. These people crave attention and if they need to play a separatist traitor to get a pat on the head, they will.

You can do it in your microwave, if you want. But doing it in a communal microwave is unkind to those who share the space. There are other foods that stink, but fish is special.
