I do this shit all the time. When I'm watching movies, I'll notice inconsistencies or little mistakes in production, I'll hear sound bytes that have been used across media. Like, I noticed just yesterday that Memoirs of a Geisha (movie) uses the same seagull soundbyte as the start of the SpongeBob opening song. And I was just sitting on my phone, not paying attention.

I'm definitely a mix of both, because I have some impulsive tendencies with big, exciting decisions. And stuff like this is helping to convince me that I may need to see a doctor about it for some help managing it.

@craftyindividual you single-handedly keep this community alive and I love you for it!

This one is very pretty.

2K, a subsidiary of Take-Two, published all the other borderlands. Based on that history, it'll probably be fine.

But based on "growth opportunities," it'll probably run the game.

"The mirror flips up, and the shutter opens"

THAT'S WHY IT GOES DARK IN THE VIEWER WHEN YOU TAKE THE PICTURE.

Honestly, I have no idea how I didn't realize this, but I always thought it was the shutter closing during a photo that caused it to go dark. No idea why I thought that, because it doesn't make any sense.

If they learn anything, it's to shove some rocks in the pillow case and beat their dad with it until they get to keep all the candy they collect.

Possibly, but with the right planning, 5 trains within 30 minutes can get a few thousand people out.

This is assuming there's actually a decent railway system built.

Inequality is a complicated mess of systems that have been operating in a certain way for so long, that it all feels normal. And for those in a position of privilege, it feels like it's operating in the best way it could. They literally can't see past it without a ton of effort, research, and analysis.

What they can see is that someone gets a taller ladder and they think that's unfair without being able to see that the taller ladder still doesn't give that person equal access to resources and they started in a hole in the first place.

How is mass transit not more practical? You get hundreds of people on a single train, get them to a safe spot, and support the population with last-mile transit.

You can route as many extra trains as possible to go back and forth, getting way more people through.

OP's photo has fewer people in just that pic than could fit on a train, and yet they're all going to be sitting in traffic for hours, endangering everyone.

Well let's hope it's not a Cities Skylines scenario because the second game is a complete shit show.

And even the first one has many issues.

I would totally leave if the "salary to cost of living" ratio wasn't so damn good.

I'd move to Germany or the Netherlands or Sweden or Norway so fast if I could afford it.

Just tried it with Target and again, it's sending me to Raleigh, North Carolina.

I just tried to have Gemini navigate to the nearest Starbucks and the POS found one 8hrs and 38mins away.

Absolute trash.

Let's start with a smartphone. A user creates an account with a passkey for a service, that passkey gets stored on their smartphone, and they can use biometrics to sign in from then on. The private key is stored on the smartphone. Great.

But then how do you sign into that same service from a different device?

If it's by using a password manager, some third party piece of software, How do you sign in on a device where you're not allowed to install third party software?

[Xitter] just announced a smart TV app for streaming video. Or, more accurately, that it claims it's building one, with absolutely no launch date mentioned. The appropriately-named [Xitter] TV wants to be “your go-to companion for a high-quality, immersive entertainment experience on a larger screen.”

Saw that on a bumper sticker today. How do people reconcile the idea that God, or Jesus, would support gun ownership and that being awful to people is okay?

Why even bother having it at all anymore. Can't use it through Bluetooth, it's slow, can't hardly handle any tasks...

Google has completely lost the plot with their services.

Dall-E 3 went particularly demented with this for some reason.

This is the exact prompt I used:

"an ninja turtle asleep after eating a messy pizza in an old German alleyway, Victorian era painting"

I feel there's some meme potential to this one.

Temples is a psychedelic rock band from Kettering, England. Their style is most closely related to early Tame Impala and Pond.
