The first things I recall learning to make for myself were marmalade sandwiches and this concoction of pinto beans, sausage and cheese. I’d heat it in the microwave, which in classic American tradition was made by an offshoot of a defense contractor, Litton. The first thing I learned to cook on the stove, when I was 7, was scrambled eggs.

Mainly I was pining for turn-based Phantasy Star. I’d accept DnD. I was out of the gaming world from 2005-2020. I could have looked harder, it’s true, and that’s why I’m asking questions.

Is that how those work? I’ve been thinking about BG3. I suppose the first RPG I ever played was a Gold Box SSI game set in the Forgotten Realms so I’d probably like it.

One of my favorite series, Phantasy Star, moved from a turn-based RPG in the 80s to an action RPG since 20 years ago (PSO, PSO2). What if I don’t want to play an action game? I don’t get what happened to the old style of RPG.

The video length was pretty limiting, though. Instagram at the time started doing 15 second videos. The six seconds lent itself to goofy comedy and not much more.

It seems like they should have sold it. Or just jammed in a bunch of ads… maybe an option to remove ads with a paid membership. Simply killing it doesn’t make any money other than to avoid losing more, and they’d already invested a fair bit which you can’t recoup by just closing something. Of course, Google does that all the time I guess.

Twitter clearly mishandled it. All they needed to do was give the option to post longer videos. Classic example of a large company buying a small innovative service and destroying it for no reason. I assume they thought it was too similar and in competition with Twit’s existing ability to post videos.

Not charging, but the screen and processors create some heat.

There’s an $18 minimum wage in Denver, for instance. Republicans sure as hell didn’t vote for that.

Yes, I can hear them. Usually it’s not a problem but I have had 1-2 power adapters that annoyed me.

I’ll add one two letter word in case you were confused.

Somehow this became a cultural thing in the US. In some other countries like in South America it’s perfectly normal for 3-4 generations to live under 1 roof.

My guess is it’s tied to making people spend more money for capitalism. The effect it’s had on families is not very positive. It leads to things like elderly people draining thousands from their savings or family members a month for nursing homes. People have to hire child care when otherwise family members could watch a child. Children grow up with more distance from older relatives. Buying additional homes and cars is way more expensive than sharing them. Additional cable and utility bills. More appliances. More food waste.

Yeah. Only for one year though. I had previously thought his CIA involvement was more extensive.

It’s named after the elder George Bush, GHWB.

That’s fine, since he’ll lose the appeal and have to pay her. I doubt the Supreme Court, as lame as they are now, cares to hear this.

I see, so you summed it up poorly. This is also, you’re right, one of those bullshit right-wing hit job ‘journalism’ things where they edit the shit out of footage to make it fit the pre-existing agenda they’re trying to prove. Correct that people here wouldn’t take that seriously, since we’re not the target market for that kind of manipulative tripe.

It’s also misleading to say that most porn sites are owned by one company. You could say that one company has majority market share of one type of site - streaming video.

Can you specify what company you mean and provide a citation for the ‘what 12 year olds want to see’ part?

He has a good point. Specifying precisely what the program does is the actual difficult part and won’t be done properly by this current LLM system since it’s creating something new and requires actual thought and understanding.

Yeah, good point. It wasn’t in all caps.

I doubt that Bush Sr would be bothered by that as much as I doubt that GWB ever planned more than a barbecue in his entire life.
