So instead of lasers for self driving, we got cameras because they’re like eyes and they can do the same thing. Now odometers, they spin and the number gets bigger. That’s like a slot machine. They need lots of numbers, so we’ll make them like penny slots and just go one little bit at a time, and it’ll make you feel like a winner when the parts fall off!

Even if it’s a Turkey-specific restriction for users based in the country, it nonetheless shows that Bluesky is willing to comply with government requests.

Nothing like taking out the ‘93 Mercury Sable for a drive.

Funny story, Bono fell asleep listening to the Blue Velvet soundtrack and dreamed he heard a Roy Orbison song. Turns out it didn’t exist. So he tries to recreate it, and comes up with “She’s A Mystery to Me,” which he happened to be carrying around on a cassette when he bumps into Orbison by accident at a function. Bono nervously plays it for Orbison like a high schooler fumbling through a presentation due to star shock, and Orbison agrees to record it. Tl;dr that’s why it sounds like a U2 song fronted by Orbison.

I love the one on my keychain — usually forget it’s there until I’m somewhere so dark that it suddenly it lights up the entire door handle.

If you put them all together they eventually spell a slur.

Yes, his Boy Harem.

This “new phone every year” is the worst consumer crapfest we have going. AI features feel like clutching at straws when seemingly everyone hates the battery life on every single phone. Slap a larger battery in there? Well now you get shit AI that burns whatever extra capacity was gained. I can’t name a single quality on an iPhone model from the last 6 years that I truly wanted, other than the size of my 13 mini. It works fine and it fits in my pocket. Now make one that stays on for a full 24 hours and doesn’t need a battery replacement every 2 years.

Here come the “ask it about Tiananmen Square” comments from your alcoholic uncle in his pit vipers

It’s always at the bottom or top right where you’d step off and you just watch the person’s shoe suddenly disappear, and then they disappear. I believe it’s a shoelace or loose/flexible shoes that get pulled into the machinery and belts where the surface flattens out and goes back under the floor.

Yeah so funnily enough I just checked IG reels and saw one where about four people get shot. There was a “sensitive content” screen over it but that’s it. Postmodern complaint: I’m just glad it wasn’t someone getting sucked into an escalator, those are freaky.

I’m in the same boat, bought a Samsung 40-something-inch smart tv for around $300 maybe 6 years ago off the neglected “small TV” aisle. It has some bloatware, but it’s never been an issue after configuring a few settings. I’m guessing if I went for one of the floor models, it’d have been a problem.

So his emotional growth was literally, uh… well… you know…

Ehhh yes and no. There’s prescriptive grammar (how it ought to be) and descriptive grammar (how it’s actually used within communities). This is where the ideas of code switching and such come in. You can certainly reason well in a Creole, if that’s what your community speaks and how you are taught, e.g. Belizean Creole.

The ol’ panty dropper

Definitely don’t get a drive to rip them for later either, like I didn’t do with CDs back in the day.

Musk will no doubt try to buy it with stock that devalues like 1923 Papiermarks.

Hey, I just ran into this one yesterday! I figured it wouldn’t hurt to speed up the ghosting process, so clicky clicky.

And that standby battery life? Sorcery.
