It’s just a massive time scale that it happens on, but yes that gives way to feeling like that. Read the first 2, put the last one down halfway through after it started shitting all over the first 2 books with a certain character’s actions.

The second book has a really cool few pages that helped visualize what experiencing the 4th dimension could be like.

The series is more interesting for its concepts than it is for plot or any one character imo

It’s still an accident. Just look up the definition. I’d wager to say most accidents are entirely preventable as well, but that’s not what determines whether something was an accident

This was the experience Android users had initially, then Android started parsing them and adding the reaction to the message. This is also when iMessage started getting that type of message instead of the reaction, as a sort of dig at iMessage

Right, I can think that. It’s an opinion. It’s also not a made up problem, and it doesn’t exist now. Yet. Which was the real point I was trying to make. Just anticipating that someone will do it, make you sign up for a year of netflix instead of month to month for example.

Never did I imply you made an invalid point and even agree with you. But if you want to make this into some argument for whatever reason, ok.

Yes, those points you made contribute to the reason why cable sucked. Though I think the core reason cable sucked was that it was a subscription with mandatory minimum periods, like a year or whatever. For the time being (I don’t have any streaming service accounts, mind you), you can at least just pay for a month of Netflix, binge everything you want to watch, then cancel and pay for a month of the next streaming service that has the content you want. For the time being.

It’s literally just describing scrum and agile processes as if they were reporting on a cult/religion and its rituals. The bit at the end about it still being waterfall development with rituals actually got me pretty good lol

As an EV owner, I don’t have solar panels but I do have a 100% renewable electricity provider. I have a feeling a good portion of EV owners do something similar, either with solar, 100% renewable electricity, or both

It’s a tinge of tongue. A tounge, if you will

West Virginia passes law allowing the shooting down of drones if they are suspected of potential sabotage to a business’ operations

Easy, just use AI to word it for you

If I started an AI chat bot that was capable of sounding human, why wouldn’t I make a crappy AI writing detection tool and then shut it down shortly afterward saying “my AI chat bot is too good! You can’t detect it!”

Na, they’ve got managed forests and it’s fine. Your comment had me google to see and it’s actually pretty interesting.

I think they just stare at it, hoping the vulnerabilities come to them in a moment of revelation. A Linux Joseph Smith, the kernel playing the part of the Golden Plates.

Yeah, printing directions off of mapquest was a lot of fun (or alternatively asking directions from someone who doesn’t understand cardinal directions)

sharks could be feasting on bales of hallucinatory drugs

Yes, cocaine. The psychedelic.

Looked like a looser what?

I think they’re using definition three from Merriam-Webster
