Butt poll

Lots of things. A Kramer poster, a backwards clock, a magic eye poster, a Larry Elmore print, a haunted house painting, a chime clock, a painting of Venice.

iOS, not MacBook. iOS used to only allow reskins of Safari, is it still that way?

That explains part of why Steam Deck is so good.

Never said credit cards created that problem. Spending more than you make will never work for very long. But in a month where for example your vehicle and your water heater break and you’re not rich, you gotta do something.

It’s easy until your bank accounts won’t cover important purchases and credit cards are the fastest and easiest way.

I used to be pretty decent with the arrow keys, but once full 3D games like Quake 2 started being standard I had to switch to mouse. I remember I switched to mouse and arrow keys for a long time, then finally went WASD.

Yeah like a train or subway. Still, trains and subways don’t have to deal with traffic conditions but they still are expected to attempt an emergency stop if there is a hazard ahead. Self-driving cars don’t even do that reliably.

Like what would happen if stores gave up possibly their most profitable period of the entire year? Christmas would go on via Etsy and eBay and such. It might slowly die as the years go on, but Christmas has a lot of momentum even if stores aren’t selling the gear.

I’ve concluded either self driving vehicles need to be completely isolated from all the humans on/near public roads doing a bunch of unexpected things, or it would take an actual artificial intelligence to really share the roads with human drivers. And once you have actual artificial intelligence that opens up a whole new set of logistical, ethical, and possibly existential problems.

dan1101 , 9 months ago to news in California Suspends Cruise Robotaxi Operations Over 'Risk to Public Safety'

That seemed very obvious from the start. Even if computers don’t get distracted or tired, they don’t have the intelligence to match even a moderately engaged human driver.

Nice try Dr Acula!

That’s cool but I don’t think the gameplay and level design will hold up very well to today’s standards. This was basically a Doom 1 type game, but with jumping and maybe full 3D? Or was it 2.5D like Doom where you couldn’t have floors over floors?

Or even 6 days or hours.
