I recall seeing pictures of the dress in other light that make it obvious, and when you compare them next to each other i can see what’s going on, but yeah by default my eyes 100% see white/gold here.

Or just spamming I guess.

Also alt.adjective.noun.verb.verb.verb was a pretty common name for, uh, shitposting newsgroups. Whatever we called shitposting back then, I can’t remember.

Someone after my own heart.

I like the disgaea series not only because of the deep systems involved, but also just because gameplay is so snappy. So many SRPGs are slow as molasses in terms of interface. I also really enjoyed Unicorn Overlord recently.

Playing back a message when you hear someone pick up? No, they’ve been doing that forever. But trying to determine whether you have a human on the line or just their voicemail recording? That’s something that could start to require more sophisticated language models, and the fact that the message didn’t just start rattling something off as soon as something picked up suggests maybe they’re using it. Actual phone scams using AI? Well, if they’re not doing it yet, they will be soon.

It’s AI, I’d be willing to bet. Waiting to detect a human before responding with whatever scam they’re selling.

See, for me, if you call me and don’t leave a voicemail, I’m going to assume it was unimportant (or spam) and I won’t call back. Businesses, which are most likely going to an unknown number, should leave a voicemail if they want any action on my part. I mostly don’t want businesses texting me because they tend to spam the fuck out of you. And I’m sure as fuck never going to pick up the phone for an unknown number.

As a regular Costco shopper, no a pack like that wouldn’t be anywhere near that much, and no that many won’t last nearly as long as you think. Perhaps this isn’t USD though.

I don’t think Costco ever jacked up the prices like that, it was just unavailable for a long time.

Well the “list” part comes from classified listings

Yep exactly. Luckily I’m not longer working at one, so I can uninstall it.

It’s definitely iterative but the newer eInk screens are higher res and color. Dunno how refresh rates compare on the color screens.

They were subsidizing them to establish an ebook marketplace. They’re no longer doing so.

I still have my Kindle Keyboard. It still works but the front lighting on new ereaders is a big upgrade. The software was pretty primitive back then too.

I’ve worked places where they required specific TOTP apps. That’s the only reason I had MS Authenticator on my phone

For anyone thinking of investing into Luckey’s company, I invite you to consider the fact that this man has access to the most expensive stylists in the world, and yet he chose to do that to his face and hair. Is this a man whose judgement you trust?

Not stealing the pie.

Yeah, that is why I left a little wiggle room in my statements. But coordinated movements when the cranial cavity is so damaged that chunks of brain are spilling out? A deer’s brain isn’t even very large. There’s hardly chunks to be had there. I dunno there’s some chance that the deer was already dead and this is just some sort of postmortem spasms. But I am just doubtful over the whole thing as written.

Yeah that’s really the part that makes me think it’s exaggerated, misremembered, or just completely false.

It’s possible that this is chronic wasting disease or something, but I’m more inclined to think it’s bullshit.
