Reminds me of the Dovetail phyle in Neal Stephenson's The Diamond Age where the rich value purely human made goods in a world of matter compilers that can almost instantly make or duplicate just about anything. On the other hand, I f

It's fine for my use case. I only go to twitter through links, mostly from here and Reddit. IMO Mastodon has a slightly better interface for linked to reading but it's six of one, one half dozen of the other at the end of the day.

A long time ago I had a bicycle stolen. I had registered the bike with the city as "required" had filled out a police report with license number and serial number. Found the bike locked up in town on a Friday night. Flagged down a

Not really. There is no guarantee that Elon is on the plane. He could loan it to a friend or one of his companies VPs. The plane could be at it's home airport, fly to another airport to pick Elon up, fly to a third airport to drop him

@CelebJets tracks the private planes a bunch of celebrities including Oprah Winfrey. If a journalist or politician is rich enough to have their own private plane then that plane gets tracked.

I'm not on Facebook or Twitter but from here and Reddit, I read plenty of articles on COVID and smoking in 2020 and beyond. From those articles, if I was asked today I would say less chance of catching COVID for smokers but worse outco

My wife taught a business class using the Beyond Meat company as one of the examples. We got a costco box of beyond meat patties to check them out and I cooked and served them (just to the family). They reminded me of a puck of cat food whe

There is. My father was really in to California wines in the 70's and 80's. From my freshmen year of high school in the early 80's I was always served a glass of wine with dinner. A couple of years in to this my friends and I

Well, you had a choice of vellocet, synthemesc or drencrom. Vellocet had the knives in it and was likely what you describe. The other two are generally considered to contain opiates or hallucinogens...

I have a few sci-fi novels from the 50's that are in fine shape and many more through the 60's to 90's that are even better. Where are these people buying such poor quality paperbacks? The oldest hardback in my library is rig

I would guess it's because psvr1 depended on an external camera for tracking from both the headset and controllers. The new headset has internal cameras and a completely new control system. I would expect it will be each developer that

Maybe because I've been an ardent atheist since my mid-teens and an agnostic before that, I enjoyed listening to Alan Watts as a good explainer of how it all works. How the eastern and western ideas of spirituality differ and where the

It use to be and still is to a certain degree but Pantone has been trying to move digital and make consistent colors when printing 4 color. All the old books have ink formulas for spot colors which have limited uses these days. The new book

My housemate had an Amiga 1000. Cool computer for the time and we played many a video game on it. One day the floppy drive died. We bought a compatible floppy drive and opened it up. There was a aluminum shield over the drive and most the c

Heh...Reminds me when I was in school doing a report using the leather bound Encyclopedia Britannica from 1911 that we still had in the book shelves. I still wonder how accurate it was. It was a history report so maybe more so than later ed

Then start a new game on a different system and speed run. If he is really good at the game he will likely get more views than resting on his laurels with whatever groove he has settled in to. That said having never heard of or watched him

As a designer who searches stock photography for work fairly often, I'm not so sure about that. Plus the minor time savings might well be offset by the cost savings and licensing freedoms of rolling your own depending on the generating

Why would you search a Getty competitor for AI generated images when you can just roll your own?

I agree. It depends on what you do with the program as to how it compares to Illustrator. From a prepress perspective where I would use it to rip apart and fix graphic files so they print properly, Affinity Designer has a long way to go. Fo

It may also be that many players mostly play "single player" but on the multiplayer closed servers. That is how I played back in the day. Occasionally with friends or randoms but also quite a bit alone. After the hack fest that Di

I bought a jar from my local high end gourmet market and got nothing from them. Then bought some off Penzeys and not only do I get the numbing effect but the husks have an intense fruity flavor that is not present in the other brand.

For decades Sichuan pepper was loosely banned then required to be heated to import in to the US (and likely other countries) because of a fear of citrus canker and the heat killed the numbing chemical. That has changed but you still need pr
