I can see! Man could you imagine spending a full twenty hours a week socializing with your peers, traveling, or (*gasp*) even exercising!? Why, I’d barely be able to hold it together for my daily hour long “Business meal”!

God knows I’d never be able to soldier through like Musk, constantly promising things like “Mars colony in two years” every year (among other things)while still having the time to spend hours posting “!!” “Concerning” or “XD XD XD” until 3 am on Twitter. Why I probably wouldn’t even have the time to signal boost white supremacists and post dog whistles about we need more babies to stave off “the great replacement”.

Well, so do I. I’d be so god damned motivated for 46 billion.

The corners are insanely dangerous IMO. You’ve got basically a sheet of metal along the edge of the truck which sticks out a bit. Relevant bit from a Youtube video https://youtu.be/LC9a3GR1HJY?t=437

Blood letting can actually be healthy in many American males, since often they have a overabundance of iron. Thus we must conclude the Elon Musk Supergenious has used Grok AI to let the Cybertruck analyze their owners through the autodrive cameras and automatically bleed them if they have a overabundance of iron. Tesla continues to innovate and in fact probably saved this mans life!

Move fast and break people.

IMO improving graphics technology is a case of diminishing returns. Sure you can always make a better looking game by throwing more processing power at it, but that has (at best) a minor effect on things like gameplay and story. Like seriously, if Squenix had decided to make FF7: Rebirth in the PS3 era, other then some uglier graphics how much would the game have have been different?

And (to actually tie this in to the thread) that’s the reason PS5 sales have been so sluggish. What do you really need those PS5 graphics for? I mean my PC is still running hardware from 5-10 years ago, because there isn’t anything I really need to upgrade for. Most of what I’ve been playing is indy titles and for the few graphic intensive games I want to play they’ll usually run if I lower some graphics settings.

Windows 10 is pretty crappy but tolerable, everything I’ve seen about 11 suggests it’s a utter shit show.

Amusingly Grok also spat a headline about how police were being deployed to shoot the earthquake after being exposed to a sarcastic tweet. https://i.imgur.com/qltkEsU.jpeg

I can’t remember where I read it but someone said “LLM’s provide three types of answer: so vague as to be useless, directly plagiarized from a source and reworded, or flat out wrong but confidently stated as the truth.” I’m probably butchering the quote, but that was the gist of it.

Ah, okay.

So it’s just a “find the right picture” rather than “roll dice till you get a roll of five”. That’s still annoying, but a lot less insane.

Wait… am I misunderstanding this or are they asking you to just sit there and roll dice till you get all ones on 5 D6’s?

IIRC there has been speculation that teosinte was originally cultivated for their stalks which were juiced much like sugar cane. Only later when a mutation got rid of the rock hard seed coat did it become a grain crop.

Well… you gotta hand it to them, that’s a succinct summary.

I don’t know what your neck of the woods is like but here in “High altitude misery land, were subsoil is the only soil in your yard and it’ll freeze in June because fuck you” it’s a struggle to get anything out of the garden.

This year, something went wrong with the peppers and tomatoes I started indoors (I suspect the potting soil) and they never grew over 1.5 inches tall, even after they were hardened off and planted outdoors in proper soil. As such, I bought a pepper and a tomato from a retail store. The pepper is still only about a foot tall, but the tomato was actually bushing out fairly well, about 4’ tall… and then something ate it down to maybe 3’-2.5’-ish. The squash I started indoors did much better and survived hardening off well. After I put them into the garden the earwigs actually waited a whole week to eat them down to stumps. And I absolutely need to water… it takes about two days for the plants to start wilting.

My garden makes me appreciate the supermarket every year.

It’s not too surprising. Tomatoes are usually eaten uncooked, so the seeds are almost always viable when they hit the sewer system. Add to that tomatoes are tropical, so when a seed hits the soil it’s gonna start growing.

More like “botnets strong”. That’s what really soured me on the second /r/place, it was completely taken over by crypto fanatics and meme stock morons running bots.

You know how many sap sucking insect poop out a sugar rich goo that ants feed on? Well… sometimes bees will eat it too and then you get poop-vomit honey (more formally known as honeydew honey).

I doubt there will be one. IMO this is just Musk talking shit because he’s mad people are ignoring Twitter.
