No, actually impossible.

The “randomly assigned” plates aren’t random, they’re sequential. They have a pattern, like letter-number-letter-letter-letter-number-number, and they stamp plate after plate to ship out to DMVs to have ready. Every state has a pattern, they look random by design - they only pick certain letters and cycle through the numbers before picking the next run, you won’t get something like this on a “random” plate

That’s a better alternative…

Glad to hear it…I also found it helpful to know about the “pregnant pause”. It’s when they just look at you silently, waiting for you to continue. It makes you want to keep talking out of awkwardness

It helps me to think of that like an invitation, I’ll think if anything else comes to mind and if I’ve got nothing left to say I’ll just wait it out

Ideas have both quality and value, and they interconnect to make the backbone of interactive experiences

That’s it exactly. The way the ideas interconnect and the way they’re presented to the player is everything. That’s execution, that’s everything - the ideas are just what’s in your head

It’s both. It’s an invitation to bring up anything recent, but you can also treat it like a normal greeting if you’d rather not go there right now.

It’s also open ended enough that you can say “I’m doing well, I’ve been thinking about my childhood a lot lately” and take the session wherever you want organically. It could also just lead into small talk while you get comfortable

theneverfox , to world in Bug meat and other fake news inundate EU voters

I really don’t get what’s up with the bug thing… Our foods are literally addictive and creating obesity. They’re full of all kinds of chemicals not proven safe, instead just ones not proven clearly dangerous

And the thought of bugs being part of this is too much? So much that it’s useful propaganda?

Ideas are nothing. Everyone has a million daydreams, the most special and creative idea in the world is worthless if you can’t express it.

Execution is everything. Hell, you don’t even need an idea - you can draw random design elements out of a bag and come up with something great

theneverfox , to news in Clarence Thomas admits billionaire paid for private club membership and luxury Bali trips

About 2 months ago I saw a news clip where he announced his resignation. There was a voice recording of him, he didn’t say the word “resign” but implied it

Did I jump timelines?

theneverfox , to world in America’s Commute to Work Is Getting Longer and Longer

Sounds like an engineering problem to me

theneverfox , to technology in ISPs seek halt of net neutrality rules before they take effect next month

You can survive without running water. You can survive without Internet.

Lack of Internet will make survival harder, just like lack of running water (if not to the same degree)

Keep in mind, if you fall behind too far people will kick you out of your house, disrupt any attempts to make a shelter, significantly increases rates of death for a variety of causes

theneverfox , to news in Musk accused of selling $7.5 billion of Tesla stock before releasing disappointing sales data that plunged the share price to two-year low

The problem exists because most of the solutions are even worse

Everything you said makes a lot of sense, but this drives it home… The stock market is so unbelievably ridiculous. It’s just unmanageable, it’s such a simple idea with such horrible effects it might be a great filter

theneverfox , to news in Musk accused of selling $7.5 billion of Tesla stock before releasing disappointing sales data that plunged the share price to two-year low

I think you’re really undervaluing his contributions. Think of it from an employee of space X’s shoes

Having the big boss show up one day and yell “I want to launch my car out of orbit, start building a prototype right now, and everyone is doing overtime until it’s done! I’ll be sleeping in my office and walking around looking for excuses to fire people” is irreplaceable.

Do you think engineers build things just because that’s what they do? Obviously you need to have someone rich yelling at them and threatening to fire people

If we try our hardest and make electoral change, someday we might be able to have 3

theneverfox , to til in TIL states that passed laws allowing a married person to seek a divorce without the consent of their spouse saw female suicide decline by 20 percent

My point is just that the statement “children do better when their parents stay together” is responsible public health messaging. Elaborating on it is heavily discouraged outside a technical setting, because a lot of people will leave that room with the exact opposite take away if you start talking about counterexamples
