Yeah, but to my mom it was another excuse to pretend my siblings and I didn’t have it. We’re just like every little boy, just like Calvin.
We were kids at the same time Calvin and Hobbs was publishing. So adhd treatment was fairly new and only done to the worst of us, or kids who couldn’t get good enough grades like we could.
They won’t really produce any heat if they sleep properly. Also that should help them last quite a bit longer.
Went to a shitty sales pitch at a bank the other day and the guy mentioned that we should decide and meet before Nov 1. He said there was meeting then.
I asked what meeting (think Fed meeting or some kind of treasury report due out). The guy had no clue, then I realized it was because of the election and laughed at the fucking guy.
On the way out he mentioned that we should move our stocks into cash before November. I think that might be what’s really happening, but it would also be a good excuse to hide the AI bubble burst.
Adding “no plate readers” routing like “avoid tolls” would be interesting. Probably impossible in some cities, but still it would be enlightening at the very least.
I’m not advocating for imperial rule, but it might be good to keep in mind a comparison with what was happening in China at the time. Life probably was better for some Taiwanese.
This was not too long before the Great Leap Forward (when the worlds largest famine would happened).
XZ Utils made it past all those checks with malicious code from a human.
If they’d been more careful with their tarball commits it probably would have made it into the final and commercial distros.
It made into Homebrew for instance.
Unfortunately the Russian plan has already convinced a majority of republicans of their talking points. So now a decent proportion of the “bots” are human parrots who now largely believe their own bullshit. Or at least believe they need to troll to win for their side. Taking out the bots is nice, but a decade too late.
Works fine if you never have to worry about your credit card bill.
Same reason the US doesn’t have universal healthcare.
They did some commendable things involving locking phones when lost/stolen/seized by cops.
They’ve also done some typical tech monopoly things with os bloat, slowing down old hardware and poor support for older hardware.
Where’s my DLC and monthly subscriptions?
iOS has driving mode to stop distractions whether it’s on car play or not. But you have to turn it on.
Throw a second battery in the bed and you got the range.
Yeah I want an EV version the Bronco boom of the 70s. We got the Blazer and Scout too.
Or the Matra Rancho if you’re from France.
Hopefully a hot hatch revival can follow once the public gets a taste for simple cheaper EVs.
Probably the auto market has to fully collapse first though. And China is going to pick up tie pieces.
Should mimic the Stingray next. See how they like their personal cellphones being tied to their license plate number and locations.
This also happens after the bully sequence, he might be acting on the frustration from the week at school. Not sure if Waterson planned that far ahead, but I know some of his threads went together.
I know when I got bullied at school I tended to take it out on my siblings later at home. It’s a big regret from childhood, but my brothers forgave me (and got even plenty too over the years).
Yeah they want you to work more for something you’ve already earned.
It’s encouraging, but annoyingly, most startups operate at losses for years. Unless they lose venture funding or more of the rest of the 6000 contracts, that’s not going to stop them.
Self fulfilling pornography.
Unless that update comes with a promotional push and/or another major transgression by the big platforms, I wouldn’t expect a software update to change things.
I’m getting ready to start one of the communities I miss from Reddit and will hopefully get some converts to join me, but I don’t have a lot of time coming up, so going will be slow.
