1: Who is that person you keep meaning to call? My friend who I've been meaning to talk to for a while 2: Is there a famous painter or sculptor that you just don't "get" why they are famous? Not really, most of the painters/sculptors I actually know about are famous because of either their...

In fairness, one of my favorite mini-rabbit holes is opening Google Maps and exploring remote places that still have online mapping just to see what's out there. Also, Geoguessr is a fairly popular game that's little more than "can you figure out where you are based on a single StreetView image?"

Why is it that the people who bang on the "personal responsibility" drum in the face of addictions never seem to apply that standard to the persons responsible for creating the object of addiction? After all, Facebook didn't just appear out of the ether one day, it came as the result of design...

There was an Unreal Tournament that got released some time around 2015 IIRC, but I also recall it was little more than a pure tech demo for UE4 and the second Overwatch spun up Epic pulled it from their servers and tried to erase it from the collective consciousness. Unless arena shooters that...

"This also comes in the wake of Tim Sweeney saying that losses may total more that $1 billion in the four years after Apple kicked Fortnite off the iOS app store for purposefully violating its policies." And yet another business genius learns the hard way that 70% of a sum of money is still...

Now I may just be a simple country IT guy, but the idea that one would part with their hard-earned money for the "privilege" of an AI agent using a computer they most likely paid good money for to do god knows what (while still requiring hawkish oversight) strikes me as something Paul Verhoeven...

This looks suspiciously like my current Supermix on YouTube Music, so to add a couple from my own: -"Better Off" by Common Perry -"Valley People" by Battle Tapes -"Troglodyte" by The Viagra Boys -"Jerk It Out" by Caesars -"Normalized" by Vision Video -"Seneca Falls" by The Distillers Also...

There's this pervasive school of thought in tech that people want their technology to be more "human", despite just about every attempt at doing so failing since Microsoft Bob. A sassy voice assistant is just the latest tone-deaf example, because these days people associate adversariness as...

I prefer their dark chocolate ones, but even the milk chocolate ones are head and shoulders above Reese's. IIRC they also used to have these milk chocolate candies shaped like peanuts filled with peanut butter and crispy rice, and I'd routinely buy two bags every time I went because one bag...

The only possible "inspiration" is that both of these things are phones; Light Phone has no app store because it's got nothing but the basics baked in, not because it's leveraging AI. This is like saying Kawasaki Ninja "took inspiration" from a Cannondale bicycle.

My usual cocktails are the basics like Gin & Tonic or a Tom Collins, but when the weather turns cold I'll use any excuse to make my Lazy Man's Eggnog: -2oz bourbon/rye (I find that Angel's Envy Rye works really well) -4oz whole milk -0.25oz real maple syrup -1 whole egg Throw it in a shaker...

What a timeline, somehow Chuck Norris bites the dust before Steven Seagal.

Despite the push towards OS-agnostic everything, there's still some software that requires Windows to run and doesn't have a MacOS/Linux substitute. This specific configuration probably isn't a great idea if one still needs such software, but the point is more that it's possible now, and future...

I mostly just remember that you had to manually purchase ammo back in the 1.6 days, but anyone halfway serious about the game bound it to a hotkey along with "buy AK47/M4A1 + Deagle + Flash + Armor/Helmet + Defuser". The only reasons to not instabuy ammo was for eco rounds or if you knew the...

1: What is the biggest or most famous venue that you have set foot on the stage or field? Probably the one time I entered a Tekken tournament at PAX East many years ago 2: What's a reminder you need often? An alarm clock, since I tend to sleep hard without one 3: Have you ever used a valet...

My very first job as a teenager was working in an artisanal chocolate store, primarily doing maintenance work but also operating the enrober and jockeying the register. Great gig, and it gave me a real appreciation for just how good small batch chocolates can be. I've been trying to eat less...

America used up all their cadmium making those novelty Garfield mugs back in the 80s.

Also Jacob's Ladder, American Psycho, Inception and many other classics.

Considering both characters have been around since the 1970s, there's definitely been at least one crossover between them at some point (even Archie Comics had a crossover with the Punisher, where he chaperoned their Senior Prom). The movie will probably just gloss over things during the intro...

I find it funny how that segment became the symbol of everything wrong with the film to the point that everyone seemingly forgot that it entirely retconned Uncle Ben's death in a way that makes zero sense. Emo Peter was dumb, but at least it was entertainingly silly.
