Now in damp!

It’s kind of unreal that they took something that worked perfectly well for 25 years and then fucked it up entirely overnight, for no good reason.

Stick in bike spokes meme.

Interesting. Ok, I will give it another go at some point. I had an Oculus Rift and there was a ton of promise but the tech was just not ready.

Usually wise to avoid trusting the people you see in mirrors as well, never know what they’re doing when you’re not around.

Yep I’ve played with virtual monitors in VR space and I don’t even like watching movies on them, the loss in resolution and the way the dynamic aspect of it (using a moving screen to simulate a static screen) makes it a shitty solution. Eventually it’ll be good enough to watch TV in but I can’t imagine doing serious work in it.

This really feels like Reddit in the first couple years. It went to shit so gradually I didn’t even notice although I can remember big events. I remember when “downvote ≠ disagree” and the place felt nicer.

Yeah nowadays Reddit has not just every sub, but every meme version of a sub, and that’s neat, but at what cost? I don’t like being on it, and I’ve been um, banned an awful lot of times lately. Not really worth it. So I will have to try to build the top few communities I am missing here, like centuryhomes.

Yep my dog needs 1+ mile in the morning and at least 2 miles in the afternoon for optimal health - bowels, muscles, etc. He’s 7 now and acts like a dog half his age.

Then some of my friends are like “I try to take mine around the block at least once a week” and I am sad for their poor dog.

Hard to find good dogsitters who will actually take them on long walks too.

30. Minute. Orgasms.

My skin drastically improved once I figured this out, it hates having the top layer scraped off with a blade. Electric razor is perfect.

Look at the Atlantic interview.

“I would never, ever consider running again, I’m against it, I don’t even want to talk about it, it’s a boundary too far, stop asking.”

“However I do have people shouting in my face that I must.”

The gap between expected behavior and behavior is narrowing each iteration, plus people are starting to understand the limitations a bit better. The things AI does well you’re talking about are being parceled off as AI Agents for monetization and don’t require additional staff to oversee, they’re turnkey solutions.

The headline here is that AI is costing us jobs but not replacing them. And if you’re concerned that AI is a bubble, imagine what that’ll mean when it blows and these companies start faltering and being purchased. This is all mindless disruption with no foresight.

“Oh dear, my neighbor’s badly neglected oak tree is now bisecting my house. Since it’s not raining, that’s my fault.”

Bird law is simple and fair in comparison to tree law

Slicing them to vastly multiply their surface area so that more Maillard reaction can occur, and it’s that Maillard reaction that causes the yummy browning, and causes the proteins and starches to change and become potentially harmful/carcinogenic, plus yes the addition of fatty oil that wasn’t present at all.

A lot of us think of “processing” as like, something a food processor does - reducing and changing the form. But it’s also the chemical changes that occur during cooking as a result of the physical processes. When you look at the before/after of a potato and an equal volume of fries, it’s apparent you’ve drastically changed the base food.

narrator: they did not

I don’t care too much when it comes to early adopter tech like this, which everyone knows will be obsoleted and laughable in 1 year. But the biomedical devices - we need a law about this, so people who get sense-restoring tech implanted in their bodies don’t get bricked because the company decides the product isn’t viable to bring to mass market.
