I thought the exact same thing until I remembered Reddit has a similar community. I literally grimaced when I saw them.

Doin’ that JavaScript math

Why does it even look like he’s saying, “feet”?

Definitely not the veterans I know, who wait months to receive middling at best medical care

I was going to say similar. Maybe their allotted benefits look attractive, but good luck receiving them in any useful timeframe. Even taking the article at face value, they have “absurd” benefits in theory, but get a fraction of them in practice.

That’s what I’m running. I’m sure you could squeeze more performance out of a specialized OS, but headless Debian is fast and easy enough.

And why it shouldn’t be.

My issue with MH was the extensive grinding. Getting a full set of armor from a monster could take dozens of kills, with each kill being 30-60 minutes. If I knew I could get it after a flat 10 or even 20 victories it’d be fine, but you’re at the mercy of 5% drop rates sometimes.

Maybe they’ve never seen the original? It is a bit deep fried here, but that would still make me feel old.

Absolutely. My spouse looks at me like I’m crazy for putting black blankets on the floor in front of all the south-facing windows, but it’s a noticeable difference in those rooms. I also keep the leftover pasta and kettle water out until it’s cooled down instead of dumping hot water down the drain. Helps to avoid running the humidifier too.

This is obviously funny, but I think the end result will be a bit sad. Spammers will (or already are) start to use similar AI programs to cold call people, then transfer to the scammer if they’ve got a live one. Eventually we’re just going to be heating the Earth so that invisible chatbots can have conversations no human will ever hear.

That’s my primary gripe too. I could theoretically work around it if the chat search worked. I’ll try searching for a specific word to see who said it to me and when, but if it was more than a couple days ago I’m out of luck. Later I’ll remember who said it, eventually find them in the sidebar, scroll up 40 pages in the chat, and find the exact word Teams claimed it’s never heard of.

Very cool. Can’t wait to see more.

Was this originally a sketch of neurons? If I squint it looks just like 'em, complete with receptors on the left.

Honestly such a cute and fun show. It also does a good job of highlighting the culture difference. Not that the Japanese parents expect their kids to get across town on their own, but they do expect their infrastructure to be pedestrian-friendly and safe.

Every time people ask me where the architecture is heading I think, “How should I know? I just graduated; someone above me will figure that out.” Then I realize it’s been almost 20 years and I am actually expected to know how databases work and I am one of the most senior in the department. I feel like this goose a lot.

I know a couple people like that. Once you know it’s better to stop wasting your breath. Just respond with, “Not much,” and physically move on. Definitely don’t say, “Not much. You?” because then you’re forced to sit through whatever they wanted to talk about when they asked. Better to cut it short and talk to people you share interests with or who at least know how to have a conversation.

Am I blind or is this the exact same as the posted comic?

Exactly what I was going to say because this hit me a while back. I still have no good solution; I have to delete shows/movies from the *arr then manually delete them from qbitorrent too.

This happened extensively to the US Japanese jammed into internment camps during WWII.
