  • Steam Machine is interesting. It feels like a solid time for someone to disrupt TV based gaming.

  • It’s tough dude. I have a shorter work week, so I’m in a slightly better position but young kids definitely make it challenging. The bedtime routine stuff is exceptionally frustrating as you start to resent the time being consumed by it.

    I try to find pockets of me time. On a day off, I try to find that hour to play some Xbox and just unwind. At work, I try to read or catch up on a TV show on my break. Just pockets of using the mind differently.

  • 20 is the legal minimum in the UK? Sheesh. In my current job, I had to negotiate for a 3rd week (15 days instead of 10, the regular two days off don’t count as vacation days that week).

  • I door dashed for a bit between jobs. Never judged the customer unless they were exceptionally poor tippers. In my area, tip is only added on after service. One time it was pouring rain and this dude answered the door, told me how shitty it must be to deliver in that kind of weather, and then closed the door and no tip ever came through.

  • The deal also includes voting in December to extend the Affordable Care Act subsidies that Democrats have been fighting to preserve, according to the report.

    Vote on it? They don’t control the House or Senate. They’ll lose it.

  • It was a big deal when it happened. Much of my family works in public education so there was definitely a big conversation about the administration’s lack of action.

  • Not that I’m an Amazon apologist, but Perplexity has been accused of ignoring robots.txt quite a bit. It’s the “AI” app I’ve used most as I like the citations and find it does the most accurate data analysis (especially for my bored baseball stat searches), but I’m starting to question their integrity more than the usual tech company.

  • I forgot about that. Good point.

  • I’m probably the minority here, but I appreciate the decorum. It lowers the temperature of the conversation without outright endorsing what he did.

    For me, the time to be angry was when it was happening.

  • I think he means that people finding Reddit content through apps like ChatGPT are not clicking through on the sources link to wind up at Reddit itself.

  • They have better brand recognition and more general consumer centric product (image generator, video generator, etc).

  • When you brush your teeth and don’t use mouthwash right after, the tooth paste forms a protective barrier to help prevent erosion and acid damage.

  • If you answer with anything other than some variation of “why don’t you find out for yourself?” You’re going to blow your chances.

  • Solid context that I hadn’t considered. Thanks.

  • In the last two weeks, no one has tried to rob me. Are the police really necessary?

  • It took some time for me to realize that not finding a continuous stream of new content was a feature and not a flaw. It meant that there was no algorithm feeding me an endless stream of crap in hopes of keeping me glued to the screen. It meant I could close the app and move on with my day and check back much later. That realization made me embrace it.

  • Tyson, the largest U.S. meat company, will pay $55 million. Cargill agreed to pay $32.5 million. The proposed accords are the first for consumers in the price-fixing litigation, which began in 2019.

    Attorneys for the plaintiffs have estimated there are about 36 million potential class members in 26 states and the District of Columbia.

    So, $2.50 per claimant? lol that’ll teach them.

  • As I posted elsewhere

    Honestly, what about ANY of this scene makes it look like official law enforcement business other than the greater context? If this scene were to occur in a bubble, it would look like a very public kidnapping and the kidnappers would be at real risk of being killed/hurt by a Good Samaritan.
