“Dear god, are you sure?”

So less like I, Robot and more like Surrogates.

I picked up some stranded skaters in the middle of nowhere in the middle of the night because they flashed SOS with their headlights after I drove past them. They had been there for like 8 hours. I’m sure they would’ve rather had a flashlight to do the work for them.

But I agree that there should be another UI for getting to the emergency flashing. Like hold for 5 seconds or something unlikely to be used during normal operation.

I have a flashlight that has multiple flashy settings, but they are disabled after like 5 or 10 seconds of idle power on time. So the first click turns it on, and if you wait a while, the next click turns it off.

How did Mr. Bungle think he could pull it off without messing it up?

Let me guess. You bought those at Borders? The one next to Starbucks and Chipotle? That was a great bookstore.

Cool story. Rust didn’t exist when I switched from php to Python.

Thanks for sharing a modern php codebase. It makes me confident that giving it up and switching to Python was the right choice.

That’s a very “Citizens United” definition of “nobody”

Technically nobody else has either.

Funny you say that. I did tech support when XP first came out, and I quit my job and switched to Linux.

XP SP2 was actually pretty good though.

I’m surprised they didn’t try to sell it to an ad company.

They append the word “no” to the statement.

“How are you?” Is “you’re good, no?” But the word “no” does not have a rising tone.

Tonal languages are hard for non-tonal language speakers to pick up because of this. On the flip side, it can be tough for tonal language speakers to grasp the tonal inflections in English, and sometimes speak like robots before they understand how to use them.

Vietnamese doesn’t. The rising tone that you hear at the end of an English language question can change the literal meaning of a word in Vietnamese.

For some of us, finding ways to cheat IS the game.

I don’t understand how people get addicted to these video streaming services. Every streaming service I’ve subscribed to is shit.

I hated how these were delivered to you whether you wanted them or not. So much junk.

They made really great fires though if you tore each page out, crumpled them up and stuffed them between the logs.

Also interesting, I took one about an inch or so thick and shot it point blank with a 12 gauge shotgun and tiny yellow circular confetti came out, which was neat to see.

Tail up!
