Good way to store your binary explosives in a cute, convenient package though!

So… PayPal?

Seriously can Apple users not use their nfc payments from any app already? That’s like decade old shit now.

Hell yeah Futurama sleepers ftw. There used to be a sub for it.

Anything but jurassic bark 😭

There’s no meetup group for smoking weed and going back to sleep unfortunately. I already checked.

There’s so much going on, a TV show would have to be 10 seasons. Love the combo of socio-political struggles and hard sci fi technology though.

Cheaper than most vans nowadays.

Based kid realizes their parent is a middle management moron, and grows up to become a mechanic or a plumber.

Ffs don’t tell them that. They’re already flocking to NC in droves. They leave because they don’t like California and proceed to turn anywhere they go into California. If anything, THATS where we need a fucking wall.

If she can prove they used Johansen’s voice as training data… Maybe. If the pitch and tambre of openai’s voice came about naturally I don’t see what leg they have to stand on.

Iirc it’s not like recording artists can sue other singers that happen to sound like them.

My grandpa actually used to drive a school bus in the 50’s as a teenager. Any high school student with a valid liscence could work as a driver. He’d take it home, park it In the yard, and go pick everyone up in the morning, on his way.

I see no reason not to let an 18yo or ever 16 drive a train, with basically no obstacles on a fixed track.

I ran an xz1 compact for YEARS. probably still would be if my replacement screen hadn’t kept popping back off. It was literally the perfect size phone. Big enough to watch yt videos on but it actually fit in your pocket!

There was a car talk puzzler long ago that this reminded me of:

RAY: This is from my delivery truck series and it was sent in by Rob Gretigney.

He writes:

I once worked as a delivery truck driver. The truck I drove was about 25 feet in length. One of the places that I routinely delivered to required that I pull into a narrow alley in order to unload my truck. One cold January day after making my delivery I discovered that my battery was as dead as a hammer. I had probably left my lights on when I went for coffee.

Another delivery driver had pulled into the alley right behind me and I asked if he had a set of jumper cables and a strong battery that I could use. He did but the jumper cables were only 16-feet long and wouldn’t reach from his battery to mine. The alley was too narrow to park the truck with the good battery next to mine, and my truck was too heavy to be pushed into a better position. We did think about temporarily replacing my battery with the one from the other truck so that we could at least get out of the alley, but the cable connections were so corroded on both vehicles that they wouldn’t budge. And, to top it off, we didn’t have any tools anyway.

Then I struck upon an idea that allowed us to get my truck started in only a few short minutes. What was the idea? Answer:

TOM: I know the answer! You put the two cables together and you put the bumpers touching.

RAY: Exactly. Jumper cables consist of two wires with clamps on each end so you’ve got four clamps. They’re kind of stuck together through the insulation, and if you peel them apart and then clamp the ends together, you have instead of one 16-foot long pair of jumper cables, you have one 32-foot long cable, but you only have one. But trucks have steel bumpers and steel frames, and the steel of the frame is the conductive path for all the electrons.

TOM: Phew.

RAY: You’ve made the electrons travel through one cable, and then through the frames of both vehicles to get back to the original jumping battery, and voila – the thing was started. Who’s our winner?

I’m down. Mine was a cowboy beebop fan page.
