Youtube has been serving me videos of these gadgets that are like "personal AI assistants" for people who want to carry around an extra device that is just chatGPT with a voice prompt. It's a super weird niche because we already have phones that do the same thing. It just seems like maybe they're just kickstarter scams for gadget nerds who are bricked up over AI.

Anyways, every time I see one of these things, my cursed brain goes immediately to "god, what if I was dating someone and they had just gotten this thing after having preordered the kickstarter 6 months ago. Now they're trying to find every possible excuse to use it in order to justify getting it."

We're at a restaurant and he's like, "what are the best qualities in a carbonara," or whatever.

Please help me escape this mental prison. Why am I doing this to myself?

What's the bit here? 400 views so I'm guessing this is your content or someone close to you. It says Lucas killed a bunch of people, but I don't really get the joke.

Edit: this is probably the wrong thing to focus on, but I'm increasingly upset they didn't do the alpha transparency right on their profile pic. It's 2024 ffs. More evidence this is boomer fueled.

 
 
 

You ever try something ridiculous in the kitchen that worked out?

I ask because I just reduced a bunch of red wine and put it into my ketchup bottle.

It's actually pretty good. It did about what I expected and gave the ketchup a fuller body.

10+ years ago there was something called Basket Note Pads that had the same blank canvas style note taking that onenote has now.

My heart broke in two when the project died because the metaphor wasn't popular at the time. It'd be so well positioned if it had stayed in development until today.

Gnome. Mostly vanilla except for some extended tiling for when I need it. Also sped up animations.

I bind Activities to an extra mouse button. But I'm also comfortable without that.

I've used a lot of stuff over the years. Started with the kde 3 series. I just don't really want to do a lot of fiddling anymore, and find the default Gnome workflow to be a really good fit for me.

i-76. Mostly forgotten battle-driving sim where the cars feel heavy. Plays more like an old tank sim than gta. Retro 70s theming.

Cool. I'd love it if you post the final product when you're done.

Seems like a cool project. It always felt like a captain's chair to me.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Holy moly, I have a very similar chair but in red. I just got it so I could have a robust chair at bar-height.

My problem is that removing the footrest portion leaves mounting brackets poking out at whichever point you remove it. So I'm particularly interested in your process for chewing through any metal bits around there.

I don't have trek-thematic advice, but I can tell you that little chrome armrest bit is the perfect size to rest a normal-sized trackball.

I'd usually be inclined to agree with you, except no one in gamedev would have balked at the final position. 2.5% revenue share over 1m is less than Unreal even.

Maybe it's a tactic they believed they were using. But that would just be a different kind of stupid, because they burnt a lot of trust over something no one would care about.

It could be another kind of bluff though. It could have been the CEO signalling he's the toughguy who's willing to make tough decisions so he can get some job down the line.

 

I'm looking for queen size. Here's the best I could find so far:

Any ideas what else to look for?

Seems annoying if you're trying not to get your hair wet. Or imagine if you had to use a shower chair lmao.

The superior shower configuration is just the humble detachable handheld showerhead. Put the water right where you need it.

Yeah, this just indicates that bigfoot is ubiquitous across america.

They'll probably get a good cash stream at first. But I'm not sure most people in America have enough object permanence to care about these folks after a few years. Won't they be like a Reality Winner, where almost no one remembers them a few years later except as a trivia answer at trivia night?
