3 all day, every day. I can no longer sit normally, I can only lounge.

My favorite of all time is Psyduck because I identify with him and frequently have to control myself from freaking out when minor things go wrong.

I also like Squirtle and Turtwig lines.

Pokopia is easily my favorite game in the series too, just because it lets you work together instead of battling, and it made me appreciate some others like Ditto or Piplup.

It’s basically the best virtualization platform. It can do full system emulation across a number of platforms, or hardware assisted virtualization (using KVM). It’s incredibly useful for debug as well as doing real work.

Compete with AMD as well. They don’t license the designs directly, but the reason they’ve dominated the last couple generations of consoles is they’re willing to do custom work where Intel traditionally was more “take it or leave it”

Uh, what? The Ayn Rand garbage philosophy? I’ve never heard that and don’t see how that jibes with a free, crowd sourced encyclopedia…

I’ve never seen a repo so reticent to tell you what it is.

My guess is it’s the journal software running the .org but everything also seems to be down half the time.

I like this comic but Beetle Moses needs to actually look at a tortoise, haha.

Their arms and legs don’t pop out of holes in their shells, their shells are more like wraps around their torsos (it’s a strapless dress, not a onesie). Also those scutes (panels of the shell) are fucked.

… Why yes, I’m fun at parties, why do you ask?

It does seem like a parody. Isn’t the backstory of Ebenezer Scrooge throwing his life and relationships away for profit? I can see some opportunities for showing how stupid that is, but without the epiphany moment of A Christmas Carol, will he just end the story as a bitter old man?

Or is this just a retelling of the whole story at which point it’s yet another remake that doesn’t need to be made…

I’m not quite sure what the advantage of doing it that way is

If I had to guess, it just kept the programmers from being super lazy about it. If the individual enemy AI doesn’t have exact coordinates of the player, it actually has to move around, search a space, potentially manipulate the environment, and possibly fail to find the player, versus doing what is effectively an idle animation while waiting for the player to step out of cover.

I’m with you. She’s especially great at physical comedy. Reminds me a lot of Lucille Ball in I Love Lucy. Not to mention, she’s a complete 90s fashion icon.

Her later work as president of the Screen Actor’s Guild showing solidarity and striking with the writers made me a fan before I ever watched the show.

American people have plenty of empathy and compassion, what they don’t have is literally anyone else to call.

If you have an emergency, you call 911 and as soon as they hear the word “gun” cops are the only outcome. Maybe in some universe a person has some foresight in case of a suicidal person with a gun and can look up local resources or something, but until we have something built into emergency services for this, panicked people are going to do the one thing they can think of when someone needs help.

Complete non-story. The Deck has been out for years for this verification to mature and it’s usually less about specs (in the age of FSR/DLSS etc.) and more about “can this game be played with this control scheme comfortably” which is not an issue for the Steam Machine since it’s just a PC.

I’d vote for AOC a thousand times harder than for Newsom. I’m not sure she actually wants the position though, she’s potentially got a long career as a rep (or senator) in front of her and could probably turn into a Presidential candidate in any cycle, but having a major legislative win is bigger than that, according to her

That sounds cool!

Weird Al is a national treasure, an institution. I’d bet it’s his sort of music, parody, that AI threatens most simply because it’s riffing on songs that already exist.

On the other hand, the only reason I’d worry that a gen-AI could attempt a masterpiece like “Alternative Polka” is that Weird Al created it first.

Bari Weiss is a disgusting hack, and laughably unqualified, but being a news outlet editor is way more complicated than just rubber stamping factual reporting. Editors allocate resources - from writers and photographers/crews to even start a story, to how the front page is divvied up, how stories are promoted, how many column inches (or words, or minutes) a topic gets.

Point being that there are definitely feelings involved. Even if it’s one story is more interesting than another, or we’ve covered this topic more than enough lately, or this story is factual but not adding anything new, etc. etc. etc. It’s a hard job, and more subjective than you’d think, so I don’t blame her for being defensive when she’s literally the worst editor to ever hold a national news desk down.

AOC had to walk so Mamdani could run. Not only proving DSA candidates were electable, but also that they could actually do the job by being pragmatic (for better or worse).

Sexism might be an easy answer, but let’s not forget that AOC is a rep with a small district, and got around 100k votes. Mamdani represents millions of New Yorkers and curried more than a million votes in his election. Mayor is also a much broader executive position than being one of 438 reps.

Point being, Mamdani’s election/position comes with a lot more mandate than AOC’s, regardless of gender.

Have some examples? I wouldn’t be surprised but the last time I watched I didn’t hear anything that I considered problematic. Admittedly, I’m willing to forgive a lot of generalization when characters are walking caricatures and say crazy shit regularly.

Good list. I think the only one I’d disagree with is Mallrats. Clerks is still brilliant, but last time I put on Mallrats it didn’t hit at all.
