I'd never realized how convenient/natural a joystick is for adjusting your side mirrors. I'm not even sure my wife has the reach to both press a touchscreen in the center console and have her head in driving position to adjust the mirrors with real time feedback. Even I'd hate to have to tweak a mirror while driving with a touchscreen.

The implication is that it's your own blood, but I like the planning/forethought. I think you'll be going places. Probably at a run.

Feel the hate. Let it flow through you.

Yeah, right. I wish I still had that much hair.

Not to defend them or minimize the corporate stupidity, but it sounded like there were less than 100k people affected out of tens of millions (100m?) accounts. I get that it was a big deal for those affected, but a 0.1% outage doesn’t seem “major”.

Fun fact: the USA is the largest producer of oil in the world, extracting 50% more than it's closest rivals (Russia and SA) annually. And we've been on top for years.

But what if I just like the taste?

But, also, this describes every response to a ML prompt.

The description of an unexpected/(impossible) orientation for an on road obstacle works as an excuse, right up to the point where you realize that the software should, explicitly, not run into anything at all. That’s got to be, like, the first law of (robotic) vehicle piloting.

It was just lucky that it happened twice as, otherwise, Alphabet likely would have shrugged it off as some unimportant, random event.

I would prefer they brought back the actual shipping part. Not this $169/yr for “best effort 3-10 days depending on our mood” they want me to pay for.

 

I mean, the title is mostly it. I haven’t played DnD for…long enough that I know none of the rules and few of the classes. I didn’t play BG or BG2.

It looks so shiny, but I’m afraid I would just be 100% lost. Can anyone say what it’s like to go in cold?

 
 

Those terrible cardboard things that you just never knew what you were going to get until they were developed? I decided on my last trip I'd make up a pretend set of prints to share with my online friends. Below is the sample. I knew there'd be some really exciting shots, so I ordered double prints when I sent it in for processing. Woo Hoo!!

Are you flipping through a Frommer's, scrolling on your phone, spreading printed PDF maps, or driving a multi-monitor workstation?
