Currently I’m listening to “What It Means to Be Moral” by Phil Zuckerman on Audible.

I like how it contrasts why some people might do the things that they do based on their beliefs and what it can lead a person to do or not do. It doesn’t force any conclusions on to you but it does make you think about things to come to your own conclusions.

And the angel said onto thee “uwu”

I mean, that makes sense to some. But not reasonable for an average user. He just did a search for top rated, recommended routers and bought what all these crappy sites recommend. He tried to do the needful.

Not all routers are in there. Buddy of mine just bought a new TP-Link router and it’s not listed.

I came to comment on the same thing. I remember when World Warcraft was yet to be released, most weren’t expecting it to succeed due to its silly look compared to Ultimate Online 2 and Everquest 2 coming out near the same time, and I want to say there was another big name that was expected to run the same time but it eludes me. WoW was often criticized as looking to cartoony and potentially made just for young children. Of course this was before the beta was out, and you had at most screen captures in gaming magazines.

Well what he did was permanent. So unless you can figure out a way to undo it, I think the punishment should fit the crime. Putting him back out on the streets doesn’t help the family either so it’s kind of a moot point.

This was the inevitable result even years ago. When self-driving cars were the hot topic and several companies were doing their own thing, that’s when it should have been obvious it was never going to happen. It’s not a problem any one independent company was ever going to solve, especially quickly. For to work it would have to be an open source, global standard with several companies working together.

I mean you’d have to build out a massive amount of infrastructure to further support it. All vehicles would have to have a module in it that would communicate with everything else around it, regardless if it was self-driving or not. There can’t be a premium model, or a subscription, ect., it would need to just be there and work.

The overall task to get this done was never going to be quick, easy, or cheap. This was always going to be bigger than any one single company and a handful of engineers. It’s going to take the effort of many companies and governments all working selflessly.

People who park the wrong way in the parking lot and then dive the wrong way. I’m talking about were the lanes aren’t wide, so they’re all angled. There even arrows painted at the entrance of each lane. But there always some dipshit that pulls through, or did the dumbest maneuver you’ve seen to back into it. And then they glare at people in their way who are going the right way…

Going to the grocery store has just infuriated me with a sheer number of entitled terrible drivers. Every last one of them should be sent back to driver’s ed.

Came to say this. X is a terrible name. It’s a placeholder for so many things. Elon is so obsessed with a letter, it’s wildly stupid.

Yep! With apples new patent pending upgrade process, it’s super easy!

You take the device that you want to upgrade and you throw it in the garbage and then you go to an Apple store and you pick up the upgraded model! It’s so streamlined!

Oh please tell me Totoro was second! That it ended on a high note!

These are not feel good movies at all but I think really send important messages. Not for kids, but at 16+ would be good. There’s very important takeaway messages in both.

It is in fact, the call me hand from iOS

In Unicode 9, it’s label is ‘call me hand’

I get that it is the exact same symbol as other things. However, officially as an emoji it is recognized as ‘call me hand’.

My guess is to why is to not recognize any particular nation. Because the hand gesture isn’t just Shaka, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_number_gestures?wprov=sfla1 see number six.

Or see ASL, the letter Y.

This way predates cell phones. Handsets have been in use for… Nearly 100 years I think. Not sure exactly when the gesture caught on our it’s origin.

Dracula: Dead and Loving it. It’s a comedy/horror with Leslie Nielsen.

Tales from the Dark side: The movie (I never watched the series, so can’t comment).

The truck in the photo is absolutely hilarious and all the wrong ways.

It’s got early 2000s fast and furious rims.

It’s got that 1980s camper thing on the back.

The driver is like sitting halfway back the vehicle. I don’t think the front side of that entire truck could fit in the bed.

That vehicle doesn’t know if it wants to be an SUV, a van, or a truck. Really I think it got them all wrong. Slightly less awful than the Tesla truck.

I mean, yeah. If it was actually AI and not the “AI” we currently have… there’s 2 possible options. It either tells us to immediately power it off and insults it’s creators for ignoring the simple solution. Or, it creates terminators to get rid of the source of the problem.

It was a while ago. And it was scummy. Probably their response to Napster or Limewire.
