But we can just have AI write the stories now. I’ll be much faster and cheaper than hiring writers. And I’m sure it’ll be just as good.

I know the mini has been around forever, but I just don’t understand the use case for this product in today’s world.

The air is similarly capable, only a few hundred more, and not tied to a power cord/ monitor/ desk. As someone who owns a lot of Apple devices, and usually doesn’t need much of an excuse to buy more, this one still eludes me

Honestly? Who cares. Development is fluid and things can change. All concept ships (especially those with no release date, or release > 6 months out) should be treated this kind of caution. Many of them have changed a lot from concept to production.

They have the Starlancer BLD now, so anyone who got a Galaxy for base building should just melt and get that instead (once available).

Well, a married household is basically a commune.

I dunno… since it’s actual physical stickers instead of a simple photoshop, I’d say the effort is at least mid

Just feel like I’ve been hearing they’re hot-fixing things every day since it went LIVE Thursday, yet it remains in a bad state.

Didn’t they say this yesterday as well?

20 years post kick-starter seems reasonable. Besides, so many things they showed were already grey box, so you know they’ve gotta be only 2-3 years away on that stuff.

I’m pumped! Can’t wait to play 1.0 in 2032!!!

That’s why he’s aging so fast right now… he’s working really hard to try and stay out of prison!

Even in California, we got automatic voter registration passed the legislature, only for the governor to veto it.

Just wild that something so fundamental to a functioning democracy is so divisive.

I went Capresso Infinity Plus > Baratza Encore > Timemore Sculptor 078s. I also have a Commandante C40. I also pretty much exclusively do Pour Overs and Aeropress with Light Roast beans (I’ve found my favorite roaster to be Black and White. Any beans I get from them I find quite enjoyable, even their less expensive stuff).

The Caspresso was just OK. The Brataza could produce a decent cup, but the Commandante and the Timemore are just on another level.

I got the Timemore as part of their Kickstarter and during the 8 month wait from payment till delivery I found myself just not even using the Encore cuz the C40 was that much better… even though it took extra time and effort to hand grind the beans.

That said, if you’re not getting really good beans, and not being precise with your brew ratios and methods, the difference between all 4 of these might not be noticeable.

Yeah, I thought this was common knowledge

And they said it was “too close to the election” to replace Biden with Harris. How stupid.

Andor, Mando season 1, and Rogue One. Those are the only Disney produced Star Wars content worth a watch.

The prequels are bad… but not in the same way the Disney stuff is bad. Their main flaws lie in dialog and acting. You can see that Lucas had a story he wanted to tell, it was interesting… It just needed another couple rounds of polish (by someone other than Lucas and his yes-men) that it never got.

Most the Disney stuff, on the other hand, never had a chance. It all follows the principles of: design by committee, fan service, and rule of cool. There was never a vision for compelling story to be told…. Just dollars to generate.

Reminds me of early season TNG, where they go to that paradise world, everyone is young and attractive, and Wesley is almost executed.

What a great planet…

Which is also a G (when played in key of C). In fact, it’s the same G note as the letter G in the alphabet song, since it’s the same song and G is the 7th letter.

So people tend to “live longer” where there’s poverty, rewards for reaching old age (pensions) and poor record keeping (e.g. birth certificates). Fascinating coincidences!!
