I have junk scissors that I buy for a couple of bucks and replace as necessary for all the things that I need to cut. I also have kitchen junk scissors for cutting open plastic that food gets packaged in. If I found someone using my poultry shears or kitchen knives for anything besides their intended use I would ask them to leave and never come back.

Don't touch my tools. That includes the things in my garage, my kitchen tools (cookware, knives, shears, barbecue stuff, whatever), and my electronics tools. I can't imagine someone using one of my instruments incorrectly, but don't touch those either. If you want to touch anything, ask. Don't be surprised if I try to make sure you know the right way to use it before I hand it over.

I loved Inbox. I hate everything that was supposed to replace it. Spark isn't the worst thing in the world, but it's not nearly as smart. Shortwave may be ok but my only IOS device isn't set up to receive email and I haven't bothered to try it since the Android app is new. Gmail is terrible. Outlook is Outlook.

Inbox worked in a way that my brain immediately understood and adapted to.

I like to add bourbon to that mix to thin it out a little. That's Christmas to me.

That's why way back in the day they had GIMPshop and why there's PhotoGIMP now.

Aahhhh, well I wish you luck. May you get your 10,000 hours in practice and become a master of creating children!

It depends. If I'm doing something fitness related I put on a fitness band with smart watch features (I don't let it alert me). If I'm dressing well I put on a watch and a tasteful men's bracelet. If I'm dressed like a sack of crap and having lazy time (like right now) I'm not wearing either.

I can give them to my kids one day (when I'll learn how to make them).

Are you trying to learn to make kids or watches?

With Framework, you're also paying to be able to upgrade. I like the idea of getting a new GPU and just popping it in.

You're right, once. But adding that one time means I never have to see the launcher again. Clicking no means extra launch time and looking at it every time I launch the game.

But different strokes for different folks. If it's not worth it to you then that's cool. It was worth it for me and I thought I'd drop that for anyone else who may want it.

I was going to ask where the ad was, but I forgot that I turned off the launcher specifically because of that. I have no idea about PS but you can add the following on PC to skip the lau8

--skip-launcher

Yep. I've got company access to GitHub Copilot, a personal subscription to ChatGPT, and I use Bing Copilot.

Bing and ChatGPT have a lot of utility overlap. Those things don't do my job for me but they do generate initial ideas and double check my code. I also use GPT as my rubber duck that kind of talks back. I literally tell it to be a rubber duck and pretend to know nothing, then chat with it. It's pretty great for that. Better than the bear that sits on my desk, but not as fun to look at.

Those are the newest tools in my arsenal of "Make computers do my job and rake in the paycheck".
