Well yeah but also croutons and Parmesan cheese

Probably small. If it just had a single circle at each corner it’s just 4 objects with really far positioning values.

You could fill it with more stuff to make it bigger, of course

I don’t care what anybody does to make money unless it puts someone else at risk. A car is a method of transportation, but more importantly, a weapon. Focusing on getting the right angle or right clip or whatever for your meme puts other people at risk as you control a 5500 pound piece of metal. My criticism is on the choice of using a moving vehicle as a recording studio.

Lol there was definitely an AIM mobile app for flip phones that I installed soon after getting a flip phone like freshman year of high school and then my parents realizing the bill I had unknowingly built up

it’s been a hard day making TikTok posts so I’m gonna drive around in my luxury car without my seatbelt on and film with my left hand and maybe probably not hit anyone while I check if the angle looks good

“I guess you didn’t know it, but I’m a fiddle strawer, too. And if you’d care to take a Super-Sized dare I’ll make a bet with you.

It might mostly be the banks, but I know of one gas station near me that hits that max hold, and then seconds after I’m done filling, the charge quickly switches to 30 or so dollars I put in. Whereas the other gas station that hold stayed there for almost a day. My guess is intermediary card processors play a part as well. I also learned place number 2 sells fake BIC lighters, so I don’t go there anymore.

Not all blankets are towels but all towels are blankets

A towel is just about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can carry. Partly because it has great practical value. You can wrap it around you for warmth as you bound across the cold moons of Jaglan Beta; you can lie on it on the brilliant marble-sanded beaches of Santraginus V, inhaling the heady sea vapours; you can sleep under it beneath the stars which shine so redly on the desert world of Kakrafoon; use it to sail a miniraft down the slow heavy River Moth; wet it for use in hand-to-hand combat; wrap it around your head to ward off noxious fumes or avoid the gaze of the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal (a mind-bogglingly stupid animal, it assumes that if you can’t see it, it can’t see you — daft as a brush, but very very ravenous); you can wave your towel in emergencies as a distress signal, and of course you can dry yourself off with it if it still seems to be clean enough.

For me that’s like the inverse. Plenty of fast food around me but the nearby McDonald’s is pretty crazy efficient (and generally busy), always gets my order right without issue. Burger King, Taco Bell, Wendy’s in the area are all terrible with order issues, badly prepared food, etc. I’ve never checked but I wonder which of the stores are franchises and which are corporate owned and if that makes a difference

At least Fallout season 2 will be in New Vegas instead of the east coast

Pedro Pascal’s hair is so long now

haha I’ve watched TPB pretty religiously but I’ve never seen this, it’s excellent

You got the bubbles plastic

It’s wild that “we’re cooked” started as straight meme terminology but now literally describes the future of the human race

“Historically many petrol and diesel vehicles have been offered with engines of the same size, but with the possibility of choosing one with more potency,” they said.

Lol yeah, with ECU tuning from a third party, you assholes just had a board meeting and realized you could turn it into a subscription and then all came on the table and licked it up

When I was in college studying Comp Sci I did a whois on Woz’s domain and sent an email to the registered email (this was generally before the days of free whois protection), not expecting a response, just mentioning how cool his work on the Apple I & II was among others, and how as a CS student was exciting to see where technology had gotten to, asking him what he was up to.

I got a response a day later, thanking me for my email, talking about how he loved hearing from students, telling me about his current dancing with the stars stuff (this was in late 2009), among some other quips and such.

Felt incredibly down to earth and casual, and while I know it only took him maybe 5 minutes to write that email, or maybe it was even copied and pasted, it was super cool to get a response from such a tech icon.

There were certainly companies that survived, because yes, the idea of websites being interactive rather than informational was huge, but everyone jumped on that bandwagon to build useless shit.

As an example, this is today’s ProductHunt

And yesterday’s was AI, and the day before that it was AI, but most of them are demonstrating little value with high valuations.

LLMs will survive, likely improve into coordinator models that request data from SLMs and connect through MCP, but the investment bubble can’t sustain

So there is no good or bad companies only whats in their interest at the moment.

That’s absolutely not true. Just because a company doesn’t “have morals” doesn’t mean a company isn’t immoral. No different than a psychopath not having morals, but us as society being able to judge them for that. You, as a consumer, have a choice on companies you interact with (somewhat, of course). Companies generally seek profit, so yes, capitalism is at fault it the core. But there are companies like:

vs

Which one is more ethical?

These companies could have broken ties:

That being said there’s currently a pretty strong rise globally in support for nationalism / fascism / racism / anti-science / religious domination of government and media / genocide. So even companies that seem more local can immediately change their culture to adopt to a shift in power, belief, etc.
