Audio equipment pricing is hilarious. Your single most expensive tech purchase might be “a really good budget option :D” in the music world.

I love this website so much and truly have no idea what year any of this was made.

A few weeks back I sent money to someone on the Solana network and they saw it in their wallet before I could say I pressed send. That’s fairly valuable.

It would take a lot. Humans can be incredibly brutal when their opponents aren’t alive. Autonomous drones are more of a threat and even then a ballon full of string would put most out of commission. edit: that’s not to say they’ll never be

True. It’s very funny when people from countries that could be considered the forefathers of racism down the US for talking about it while refusing to acknowledge the cries of their own underclass.

Also, native languages are weird. The last sentence above, for instance. If I had said “green little bird” or even “little cute green bird” you would have clocked it as wrong immediately. Apps alone aren’t sufficient to learn these nuances;

No, you would need to admit your current approach is ineffective and replace the door and/or the repairman.

Someone breaking into my house 10 times by jiggling the same doorknob a contractor told me they “fixed” would be very concerning.

In my view, we shouldn’t be suspending it for anything. Giving the government an inch on this should seem foolish to anyone who’s even skimmed a history textbook. Sometimes the slope is slippery.

This is very funny but I think they mean the misleading pricing model Adobe traps users with.

The strange wording may be intentionally used to stop users from skimming the way they would for more “necessary” permission prompts like camera, notifications, etc. I know it pauses me for a second longer than the others.

This is really cool! It would make a lot of my ideas easier to build.

I don’t see how voluntarily letting a service see your location is an invasion of privacy.

This is close to my ideal way of avoiding a runaway Ultron/Skynet-type AI scenario: airgap it and force the use of a physical mouse, monitor, and keyboard to interact with the outside world. At least once it reaches Twitter we can stop

I'm not a writer but I've used one drill where you set a theme and handwrite off the top of your head without pausing or erasing up to whatever set length. Like freestyling.

(Very) Large trades already go through slowly unless you’re buying/selling a high volume stock at market. Also when they say insiders already heard the news it’s more like days ahead, not hours.

Oh wow I rely pretty heavily on mental images even for non-spatial tasks so losing that scares me. Never thought it might fade.

I’m not advocating for violence I’m just emphasizing that those 50 are much more responsible for our climate issue than the global poor. This is entirely in the hands of those that make the decisions. I should have elaborated.

That’s strange. My current suggested trends are “Future Hendrix” (rapper), “Kanye”, and “No Way Home” (the Spider-Man movie). If I had to guess I’d say it goes off what your following is interacting with/talking about at the moment. I

Besides the gamified nature of crypto, I think what makes CT such a hopeful place is the way everyone shares the same goal of “making it” and keeps the reason they do it in mind. Even in hard times (like now) they can keep laughing because
