And bananas and oatmeal at the bottom. I guess one way to solve the elderly entitlement crisis is if we all just start dropping dead from heart attacks.

He has bad skin, which is surely a sign something about his lifestyle is not so healthy.

Good riddance. There were some ok answers there, but also many bad or obsolete answers (leading to scrolling down find to find the low-ranked answer that sort of worked), and the moderator toxicity was just another showcase of human failur

Well there is intel, their GPUs have been a running joke of course for decades now in gaming but they've also been getting better too. The first generation of their GPUs in the aughts was essential silicon trash - I did some gamedev a

Game devs will have to optimize their code more, like in the old days. But GPUs are really powerful nowadays, so even scaled back GPUs are still really strong. I don't expect them to go away entirely, if AMD or NVIDIA step back from i

Textbooks are expensive because the authors need to live in houses, which are also expensive.

The machines can be buggy. The one I use (Giant supermarkets) often doesn't ask for a quantity on navel oranges. It just rings up the the price for one and says put them in the bag. I don't want to bother the attendant, who&#x2

I can only speak for myself and not "most people" but before the ACA I was actually denied for health insurance - as in, insurers would not sell me insurance at ANY price. After ACA went into effect, I got insurance and it was rea

I've done this, but the product I made is prohibited by the terms of service of the application it works with, and that industry is litigious and authoritarian. So I'm never going to release it, or even talk about it.

Maybe they thought they would just freeze x86 architecturally going forward and Itanium would be nearly all future R&D. Not a bet I would have taken but Intel probably felt pretty unstoppable back then.

> FYI for anyone who isn't familiar with the wacky US insurance situation: Nobody in the US actually pays $800 for the drug. That's the "list price" for insurance companies to pay. Even insurance companies don't

This is already on Steam and has been there for years. Or at least, its in my library and it doesn't say its "retired". So what's new?

Bummer. Crucial had a lifetime warranty on memory. So when my 2012 Macbook pro cooked the aftermarket memory I had put in it, they replaced it for free. A few years later same system cooked the new memory chip. Again they replaced it no

Wish my grocery story (Giant) could figure out how to do that. I get the shrink wrapped microwaveable potatoes and they are green much of the time within days of my purchase. I've gotten sick after eating them a few times and have la

I've seen it on my system 76 (clevo) laptop from 2019 on linux, and on windows on the same hardware. I think its a firmware power state design bug. I have a lenovo from 2012 that never had this problem.

What data was that? Here is some from the BLS: https://www.bls.gov/ooh/highest-paying.htm Highest 20 occupations by median annual income, the bottom is pilots, everyone else is a medical specialty.

The subsidies are going down, but the base price of the plans are going way up. The plan I'm on increased from $800/month to $1150/month next year, and that is a modest increase compared to most others I've heard about.

The article notes that Philly and also NY underperformed in last few years so really they are catching up to baseline. As a resident of the philly suburbs this matches my lived experience - there has been something of a jobs bubble (at lea

The 43 years of career is debatable. I got a CS degree in 1997 and worked for 18 years (non consecutively), but have been out of work now for several years. It's quite possible those 18 are the entirety of the earnings I will derive

The ACA would need to be changed too, it isn't as generous tax-wise as employer based care. The portion of the premium paid by the subscriber is not automatically tax deductible - they have to itemize or meet certain self-employment r

Many games already have an S-tier in class/stats/builds, whatever the criteria is. Would be funny if higher ed ripped that off. Life mimicking art and all that.

If OpenAI (or any LLM chat product) starts shoving ads into people's faces, they aren't going to have a billion users anymore. I already get mad at gemini when it shoves a barely-related youtube link into the chat with someone&#x2

There are claims that most women using AI companions actually do have an IRL partner too. If that is the case, then the AI is just extra stimulation/validation for those women, not anything really indicative of some problem. Its basi

Not sure about over-medication. I think about all the people I used to work with that were absolutely addicted to caffeine, just to get through the day. And the work we were doing (software) didn't seem _that_ boring to me. Some of

My elderly mom never shops at Aldi (in the US) because she can't figure out the coin thing. Given that she spends outrageous amounts on groceries, Aldi is losing a ton of money by paywalling the stupid cart.

Interesting, I didn't know BT3 was by a different author, it definitely had its own vibe distinct from the first two, which this guy wrote ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Cranford ). I liked them all though
