IF anyone cares, the wallet is a $19 Hawx men's bifold wallet in pecan, available from sheplers.com

Okay, I get it, you don't know time zones already so you have to research every time but most people don't think of the other people please.

So every time you deal with somebody in a different location, you can't assume anything about the hours and times you have to ask them or go look it up Even if you have a decent idea where they live because you're not going to know the time disparity of every city out there.

The exponential problem has always been there. We keep finding tricks and optimizations in hardware and software to get by it but they're only occasional.

The pruned models keep getting better so now You're seeing them running on local hardware and cell phones and crap like that.

I don't think they're out of tricks yet, but God knows when we'll see the next advance. And I don't think there's anything that'll take this current path into AGI I think that's going to be something else.

I mean, I might catch something intended and openly malicious.

If it comes down to a buffer overflow somewhere or an exploitable race condition, I'm probably not going to see it anyway.

Missed opportunity

The gun should have been labeled !!

Even before the current fucked up state of affairs, lobbying was (and still is) a thing.

I used them for a couple of years. But I kept finding that when I went to re-sign up for new vendors they wouldn't support the cards for some reason. Has this gotten better?

I ran gnome for about a decade. I really didn't like how a lot of bits and pieces of it worked so I went and found all of the plugins and religiously installed and updated them. Updates what happened, crab would break, I'd just have to deal.

At some point I tried KDE. And it literally did everything that I was doing to gnome through plugins out of the box.

I'm all about configurability but I'm also a pretty big fan of not having to fuck with it because it already does what I want out of the box.

PShaw, that's how I had to do it. Slackware on floppy. Pre-internet search engine, one computer per household. No cellular data.

windows -> Dial up -> look at some docs, take nodes -> reboot into Slackware -> mess with the console -> get stuck -> reboot into windows -> repeat

One doesn't need to panic buy items that they keep in stock at sufficient levels. :)

Context for the masses...

”Strabismus (crossed eyes) is a common eye condition among children. It is when the eyes are not lined up properly and they point in different directions (misaligned). One eye may look straight ahead while the other eye turns in, out, up, or down."

 

Josh and Nicole, already overfull from a previous adventure power through the most significant offerings from Del Taco (based in CA but slowly spreading US wide) and Taco Bell. They cover some history and discuss the finer points of some of the dishes.

 

I was a little worried he was just going to hack some trash together, but he did this right. I knew we were in for a treat when he actually used some protective measures.

 

Cats, and apparently capybaras are an invasive species on social media. I don't hate them or anything but they show up everywhere in places they have new business being.

 

Kenji shows a great way to get use out of some day old pasta. I always do stir fry rice from day old rice but never considered using old noodles. The recipe works out great and sounds like a time and money saver.

 

Ethan has a great guest star and does a blind taste test to see if "American Wagyu" ground beef is anything special.

 

The Statue of Unity is the world's tallest statue, with a height of 182 metres (597 feet), located near Kevadia in the state of Gujarat, India. It depicts Indian statesman and independence activist Vallabhbhai Patel (1875–1950), who was the first deputy prime minister and home minister of independent India...

The project was first announced in 2010, and construction started in October 2013 ... with a total construction cost of ₹27 billion (US$422 million). It was designed by Indian sculptor Ram V. Sutar and was inaugurated by the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, on 31 October 2018, the 143rd anniversary of Patel's birth.

 

The camera auto adjusts exposure and it gets all derpy with rolling shutter :)

High above the village of Črni Vrh, fantastical ice formations—including spikes over a yard long—encase the trees and lookout tower atop Mount Javornik. The windswept ice, or hard rime, is the result of fog freezing after a week of snow and gales. This image appears in the December 2016 issue of National Geographic magazine.

spoilerDamn they got down to business right away! Loved the humor. Love the story, Cheezy streaming refs went on a little long. Fry, Leela and the Professors Voicing had a few rough spots that wouldn't have happened in the last incarnation, it honestly kinda reminded me of some of the early voicing in season 1. John DiMaggio's performance was flawless. I love that they kinda mixed in a small anthology, had most of the people make cameos.

 

It would appear there's currently a battle on /r/place between pro-spez users, anti-spez users and admins as the guillotine is being perpetually drawn and erased
