Facebook showed me “what I’m missing” on Threads the other day and it was literally pages of pictures of women and “Netflix and Chill?” Not a single real person, or maybe I’ve just really underestimated my worth on the market and young sing

When you consider the Gorilla in the room, it makes more sense. Google is absolutely terrified of a repeat of classifying black people as great apes. [0] Apparently this apprehension is so great that both iOS and Android have an inability t

Yeah, I’m amazed that such a ubiquitous brand is worth a scant 2 billion dollars, or 1/20th of a Twitter.

Do people still let their TVs connect to the internet? I had to factory reset my LG tv to get it to stop trying to connect to the WiFi. I’ve also got a block using my router, since my wife connected it to watch PLEX at one point, and it upd

Hah, true story, I had a college history professor who went on a screed about Pulp Fiction and how it was nihilistic and obscene and that Tarantino would make the world a better place by just offing himself. He said he believed the film and

This is literally the plot of Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. It’s a great read.

Another good one for me is that a cubic light year or butter would immediately collapse into a black hole with a Schwarzchild radius larger than the observable universe.

My wife and I both have iPhones and MacBooks as our primary computing devices, and have setup blocks for each other’s phones. So we voluntarily (I have to stress, this is something we both are 100% on board with, don’t be a creep) set a pas

I dunno, it's certainly worked with Denuvo for me. If a single player game comes out and I really want it, I'll check torrent sites, then buy it if it isn't on there. Without Denuvo the stuff shows up like, 20 minutes after i

Yes, but if you check out what's available to a consumer right now, you have 18TB and 20TB drives, which are about $10 per terabyte, then 22TB jumps to $13+ per terabyte. If you insist on 24TB, you're looking at $23+, so more than

I just used my old PC when I got a new one, use that as my NAS/torrent box with vpn, and kept buying HDDs for it. I'm up to 45TB but it never really "hurt", as I just buy a new drive when things feel tight. At this point

Doesn’t that increase your chances of getting dementia or Alzheimer’s? Passive activities are worse for your long term mental acuity for sure.

It’d be way cooler if some super fan could go all Hunger Games and send $10,000 to give the Running Back a bean bag gun or something. I’d watch that.

This ‘official organization’ sounds pretty bad, but at least they don’t auto play unrelated videos when I try to read an article on their website that takes up half the screen on mobile.

Depends on where you live. In my city in the Midwest, some people tried to push three shopping carts of merchandise out of a TJ Maxx, drove into a cop car that was trying to stop them, then drove down the highway toward the police HQ (I’m g

Right, for example if I was shopping right now a house elevator would be a huge positive to me as my daughter is a wheelchair user and will be getting more difficult to carry up and down the stairs. That said as someone who was in a lot of

Like 99.9% of the art the common people care about is Darth Vader and Taylor Swift and other pop culture stuff like that. These people literally don’t care what your definition of what is and isn’t art is, or how it’s made, they just want a

I was going to call this price completely crazy for anywhere, then realized I pay $40/kg for Parmigiana-Reggiano, but that seems justified since it’s coming all the way from Italy to Kansas. Seems like intra-EU cheese should be more af

One day I need to visit Europe and spend a week just eating cheeses. I’ve tried buying most of these different cheeses in an upscale American supermarket and have been very disappointed. Even the ones imported from Europe, every variety jus

For what I’d call “art” or at least artsy works, or anything I want to iterate on (using inpainting and redraws) I want to make I use stable diffusion, but if I just want to send some dumb silly picture to send to my friend I’ve found mysel

If you’re building a midlife crisis gaming PC the 4090 is the only good choice right now. 4K gaming with all the bells and whistles turned on is a reality with that GPU.

I thought the new movies were absolutely awe inspiring. I bounced off the old movie pretty hard and thought it was some weird joke I hadn’t been invited in on.

We use the hue lights as night lights, and have them turn red, then off on a schedule. I have to turn them on and off again to reset them to white but my 6 year old knows how to do it, so that feels simple enough to me.

Haha we bought 4 box fans and buy 4 filters at once at Home Depot, so we get them for half off with a bulk discount. They’ve helped my wife’s asthma substantially.

Ah yes, the Hugo award, known for such quality and revered works like “Space Raptor Butt Invasion” by Chuck Tingle. How can I trust any award as a standard of quality that has ridiculous stuff like that getting nominated?

I can tell you who is reading books every night that are absolutely terrible and don’t require a coherent plot! Children. My kids and I have been crafting a few sentences of some absurd plot then reading a story about it generated by ChatGP
