Surge pricing=price gouging, there is no difference

Here’s the cycle we’ve gone through multiple times and are currently in:

AI winter (low research funding) -> incremental scientific advancement -> breakthrough for new capabilities from multiple incremental advancements to the scientific models over time building on each other (expert systems, LLMs, neutral networks, etc) -> engineering creates new tech products/frameworks/services based on new science -> hype for new tech creates sales and economic activity, research funding, subsidies etc -> (for LLMs we’re here) people become familiar with new tech capabilities and limitations through use -> hype spending bubble bursts when overspend doesn’t keep up with infinite money line goes up or new research breakthroughs -> AI winter -> etc…

I mostly had it for streaming video but cancelled once they started offering a sub + ads tier for their videos, I don’t want to support companies that do that greasy shit like cable TV did.

There will be no abstract manifolds within this jurisdiction, so take your new fangled Minkowski or Hilbert or whatever space outta city limits!

Doom 2 was already covered so I’ll go with Roboquest, indie arena roguelike shooter with randomized weapons and perks but static arenas/mobs/bosses. Once you get a handle on the movement it’s one of the comfiest shooters I’ve played in years.

They seem okay with at least one animal fluid, maybe they can handle other animal fluids?

Everyone wants to touch my base and I haven’t even started building one yet

I used to be kbm exclusive but there have been some pretty good controller improvements made over the years, things like hotkey layers in Skyrim UI mods or the final fantasy MMO giving dozens of unique hotkeys on a controller, and new hardware with back buttons and shoulder buttons that keep both thumbs on the thumbsticks. Can’t beat mouse for precision, but there are tradeoffs for that.

When my insurance carrier stopped mailing cards they added a request to send the updated cards, pain in the ass but pretty sure most insurers are doing that now to cut corners because they aren’t legally required to send them.

YouTube alternatives?

Intimidation free bagels taste better though

Perhaps they both would find some agreement with Diogenes. If poverty is virtuous why not practice it?

On Thursday, the city of Columbus sued Ross for alleged damages for criminal acts, invasion of privacy, negligence, and civil conversion. The lawsuit claimed that downloading documents from a dark web site run by ransomware attackers amounted to him “interacting” with them and required special expertise and tools.

Maybe Ohio should find a better place to store their braindead citizens outside of a court bench rather than inside.

That’s true, I’ve had mine 2 years and am seeing some up/down drift on the left stick. Not great on the quality but I have used it often, and I can’t find anyone else with that button layout.

Randy may be one of the greasiest people ever, but he does deliver what people dig about gb games, the loot slot machine

The back buttons are near the middle so I’d assume it’s more comfortable for bigger hands, I think the v3 wireless version has the back buttons closer to the outside where the controller grip connects to the middle of the controller like the elites, I haven’t tried that style yet but I think that may be better for a shorter grip or hands.

My favorite layout so far is on the Razer Wolverine V2 Chroma Xbox wired controller. It has x/y up between the shoulder and triggers, back buttons for a/b, so you can keep your right thumb on the thumbstick without moving it to hit face buttons a/b/x/y.

I’ve used Dia for years, great simple tool for diagramming & if I need something more I’ll switch to graphviz dot files
