Rechargeable means they can save a bit of money on the size of the battery, among other things.

I'm high enough functioning, but still get certain minor anxiety pangs around those who are more actively presenting. I feel a bit bad about it, especially when I know from personal experience that they're mostly normal and well-m

With any game that offers crafting and deconstruction, I max out my deconstruction options. It lets me think less about resources themselves, and more about what to do . For Cyberpunk, this meant that I had 'infinite money' by bu

The Moon is a Harsh Mistress. Threaten the loonies too much, and they can throw big rocks at Earth. They'd have plenty of brute mass up there.

I ain't rich enough to take a real moral standing in investing. The only principled buys I make are for ETFs/indices that sound like good ideas, but are nonstandard. Copper, Lithium, Uranium for now. The Earth isn't making an

My way of fighting the mentality is to be lazy. No joke. I'm either Accumulating, Holding, or Looking to Sell. For stocks, I generally stick to #1 and #2. Buy if numbers/velocity looks good, hold if I don't like how they were

I am technically a war profiteer due to stock trading. I bought and then kept trickling some money into an oil index fund when news was everywhere about negative $/barrel, and Russia's invasion of Ukraine made me $500 when I sold

I sold my crypto bags one by one this year. I felt fantastic for hodling long enough to swing +20% minimums on my btc, doge, shib, eth. Doge, I got +39%. Then crypto kept going up. Whoops. Made money, but not all of the money . As a consol

I'm not an AI enthusiast by any means, but can still get behind this all. If OP can productize and suddenly make an extra $1k/mo, more power to them. When you boil everything down, most code can technically be recreated by any ski

I daily-drove an IBM Model M that was a few months older than me, for about a summer. I love it, but it's just so comically oversized for my desk, even while using a deskpad. Modern custom mech boards, like my current TKL, allow for ex

When people are already chopping out numpads, etc, in their custom designs, they can afford an extra horizontal inch of space on their keebs for fancy features, without getting too big. For a large segment of people, a keyboard like this ha

If I look at the 3.5g bags I'm familiar with, I can't imagine smoking so much in one go. That would almost require the use of those novelty oversized RAW cones.

I dropped $200 on Dr Malcolm and some others for the Locust God promo. I'm very happy with it all, and now get to build an Egglord deck with Jeff Goldblum's face on it. And, if you've only experienced a few set releases, pric

I enjoy having high-value cards in my collection, but the best way to show them off is in a deck that uses them well. I'm not throwing my Surge Foil copy of The One Ring in a random Commander deck.

A funny edge case of those glasses might be accidental blurring of people's faces, if their face is prominent enough in advertisements.

I had an idea that you might be able to build, now that I see 'you' again: Would you ever design an E-Ink "Life and token counter" aimed at people who play Commander format MTG? Given the amount of time and effort it wou

Valorant has an option to disable corpses, replacing them with little tokens on the ground that mark the spot of their demise. I think there's also an option to tone down blood effects, etc.

I have similar feelings whenever I get something that's 'nice, new, shiny'. I feel an urge to protect/preserve it as best as possible, and worry more than I should. One time, I bought a fancy wallet made of stainless ste

Current 'sociosphere' apology videos are already bad enough without being parody, why make it so difficult for JerryGPT? I feel like it's an interesting enough angle on its own, and if it turned out well, it would be a nice t

I'm more curious what the AI would do if asked to make an apology video.

How do you generate your dialogue? Is it tuned as "conversation between characters", or was the model fed sitcom scripts?

I couldn't figure out how to link the comment, but it was at least 9 months ago I said this, and someone was already working on it ?? SUPER cool! I feel like AI/ML and some pre-rigged models could be used to build a web-hosted si

I had an idea bouncing around, and now I've got it: 2d6, passed back and forth. First to roll a 7 "wins". Chances of 1/6 chambers look similar to (2d6) = 7

Incidentally, I'm about halfway through "Time Enough for Love" from Heinlein. Lazarus is laughing at this man.

My Logitech g500 from many years ago has a physical toggle for detent/freewheel scrolling, and I love it. Precise when I need it, and zooming up or down when I need speed.
