I mean, I live somewhere with proper winter, just because it’s snowing doesn’t mean it’s cold yet.

I’ve personally been in -37C before, so yeah maybe 0C isn’t so cold to me anymore.

12 fl oz, 1 pound, 1 inch for us Americans or those curious about the imperial system.

Also, are you buying a pound of chocolate?

I mean, in a vacuum, a smart washer is a nice idea which is actually useful. Set the time to start the washer to 430 so it finishes when you get home. That’s a good and useful improvement.

In practice however, gestures wildly there’s the obvious data collection both of your laundry habits and anything the app on your phone can reach.

I’m not opposed to smart tech, but it has to actually benefit to product. A smart TV is a better TV (again, the data collection BS, but I am ignoring that for the moment). It can launch Netflix or Hulu or whatever, and you can watch from the comfort of your couch without another device. It is doing TV better than a non smart TV.

Also, I would love it if there was a good FOSS TvOS.

+1 on the fun. I played a bit last night and had a few good runs. Some builds could quickly become op. The combo system is useful and sometimes forces you to think how you’ll play your hand.

Good stuff, gonna play more tonight.

I’d say be hopeful, but I don’t know.

I am a software developer, and there’s absolutely been times where a temp fix becomes permanent, but I’ve also had times where my boss has told me to clean up tech debt or I’ve been “look this whole chunk of code is both wrong and unmaintainable” (wrong as in it didn’t do the thing correctly but it looked correctish) and I’ve been allowed to just rewrite the broken code from scratch.

Idk, I feel like also at a certain point the codes bugs might be so obvious and troublesome that companies are forced to actually deal with the problem code and when that happens will be different for every company and every program.

Ehhhhh…

Given how dominant English has been on the world stage for decades, there’s been a few times in my life where I’m listening to someone speak English and I didn’t realize that they weren’t American/AngloCanadian. (Dear Canadians, I am sorry, but like, dude our accents right on each others borders are near indistinguishable)

Nope, Dean Kamen is still alive. The owner of the segway company however did fall off a cliff to his death while on a segway.

I don’t think Ethiopian food gets the respect it deserves. There’s a place I’ve been going to for years, pretty much always get lebleb tibs and that injera bread is so good. It’s spongy and has a slight sour taste to it that’s so good with the rest of the food.

I really wish more Americans understood soft power and how much we used to have. Hell, I was on vacation to Montreal a few years back and I ran into a dude from France there. You know what we did? Quoted American TV to each other, in English. He knew lines from futurama and archer in English.

Hell at work I run into a lot of Germans and French folk and dispite not using imperial they knew how far a mile was in kilometers (1.6 for the curious)

I mean someone did throw a molotov at Sam Altman’s house last week.

Having read half-ish of his wikipedia article, the only thing I’ll correct you on is his age, 25, otherwise that’s on point.

I… i wasn’t aware you could be banned from kick.

I mean, if the plot points weren’t rushed and were actually built up it could have been fine, and hell has the chance to still be good. But no, the final seasons were a rushed mess and even the actors knew it wasn’t something they were proud of so georgie boy has decided he’ll just tell different stories set within the same world or take a break writing some of elden ring and never bothering coming back to the stories that made him a house hold namr.

Yeah how dare people let food that’s

high in fats, sugars, and possibly moisture spoil so easily.

I went to the henry ford museum like a year and a half ago, they had Pokémon red and blue on display and I felt that in my soul and bones.

You’re making the positive claim, the burden of proof is on you.

I’ve worked in IT, ditto.

Oh, have they added another if statement to block it from being completely stupid? I won’t know, i don’t use them

Ask it to show you a seahorse emoji. It will “”““think””“” it can then perpetually fail since there isn’t a seahorse in unicode.

Don’t know if you’re joking or not, but to anyone actually curious “fluid ounce” its the volume of 1 ounce of water (or wine, not all fluid ounces are the same since because not all ounces are the same).
