So, you’ve already tasted lab-grown meat?

Makes you long for golden parachutes that don’t open when their 737 Max loses an engine or two

With Product Placement!

Cuts like a knife, don’t it?

Even if you don’t understand French, I dare you not to laugh with them while watching this https://youtu.be/30NezSeVOog?si=f_vwKrvrIT5xxfRw

You can do that today. Just ask Chat-GPT to write you a bash script for something non-obvious, and then debug what it gives you.

People complain about the total cost too get everything in The Sims, but I don’t remember anyone complaining about the total cost of every song in Rock Band.

I gotta have my naturally sparkling Perri-air

Doing more with less until we can do everything with nothing!

I remember Asimov’s books in the Robots/Foundation universe to be fairly coherent. Newer books revealed new things that weren’t alluded to in previous books, but they didn’t break continuity.

The only inconsistency I can think of is how the pre-Foundation’s Edge books didn’t feature the computers we then saw starting with that book, but it’s not like the older books specifically stated they weren’t there.

And if all else fails, you can always explain anything by bringing The End of Eternity into the canon 😛

Autocorrect?

If you use it before it has learned you writing idiosyncrasies?

On my Pixel 1, I wasn’t careful about the battery, regularly draining it fully and then charging it to 100% (and leaving it on the charger for extended periods) and after 18 months, I was already looking into getting the battery replaced due to greatly reduced capacity.

At a friend’s suggestion, I installed Accubattery which alerts me whenever the battery is about to go outside the 20-80% window. I almost always unplug from the charger when I get to 80%. That second battery on the Pixel 1 kept most of its capacity for 4 years. Now my mom has that phone, with the same battery, and even though the capacity went down a bit since, it’s more than enough for her needs still.

You’re trying to apply objectivity to a very subjective area. I’m not saying it’s impossible, and you should by all means try it, but maybe it would be a good idea to try something that has a better chance, first, such as this:

How about an open platform for scientific review and tracking? Like, whenever a new discovery or advance is announced, that site would cut through the hype, report on peer review, feasibility, flaws in methodology, the ways in which it’s practical and impractical, how close we are to actual usage (state of clinical trials, demonstrated practical applications, etc.)

And it would keep being updated, somewhat like Wikipedia, as more research occurs. It needs a more robust system of review to avoid the problems that Wikipedia has, and I don’t have the solution for that, but I believe there’s got to be a way to do it that’s resistant to manipulation.

I don’t know if it’s my favorite, but A Day in the Life by The Beatles is quite a ride.

Have you tried photopea.com ? I dunno if it’s light enough for you, but it’s basically Photoshop in your browser, done in JavaScript.

From what I’ve heard, she didn’t remaster, she rerecorded those albums. These are new performances.

Democratic Order of Planets?

I see the love thing as creating a kind of resonance, such that things that resonate together are drawn to one another, and can sync up.

That’s how, when he’s inside the event horizon, he can jump to the right moments to create the effects he needs to create. Those moments “resonate” with him, and the love between his daughter and him is that resonance.

Could you imagine forgetting The Matrix, but not the sequels?
