Also in Aus. Flicked the switch while it was running. There was a pop.

I would copy the same icon all over the desktop before taking that screenshot, the delete all but one of them. Only one of the many icons was real, and I’d keep doing it but move the icon every day.

I loved messing with school computers.

I used to see how much I could rename the files in the windows system folder before the os stopped working, then figure out how to bring it back.

The worst thing I ever did was flick the switch labelled “110v/240v”. I learn a valuable lesson about electricity that day.

Here the thing, I have seen a gold medal Olympian. I haven’t seen a ghost.

Turn the phone upside down

So then what do you do with all the extra money made by independent salesman? Already people cook books in order not to declare some if their income. Plus there are so many self employed professions that make money based on how much work they do, how do you scale them when their work might be seasonal or not a regular income?

Or do the ranked salaries only apply to certain sectors?

Yep, it’s a treadmill. Raise wages and cost of living will rise to meet it. That’s why I’m not convinced a UBI on it’s own will be helpful. You need to find a way to govern end costs; but how you do that I have no idea.

This is why libraries put the sci fi and fantasy sections together, so they can avoid being drawn into these kinds of debates.

Not any more. Just bought an EV new for about the same price as I bought for an ICE in 2019 before adjusting for inflation.

They are getting cheaper as they get more ubiquitous. If you have an ICE that runs fine, don’t rush out to replace it, but if you’re in the market for a new car you should seriously consider EV.

Just get a compatible part and it will have the correct connector to join it to the control board. It’ll work like the original.

Every gig I would tell myself I’d label everything. On average I’d label 95% of video cables, and 50% of the data cables

You’ll be able to buy a replacement rear tail cheap on AliExpress. I’ve already replaced my throttle and I’ve bought spares for the brake, dashboard and handlebar

Broadcast jobs. Every single job you run, and then later pull, dozens or hundreds of data cables.

Oh, labelling? Forget it. You’ll label the first batch, and then be in a frantic rush that nothing else is labelled. Just a messy spreadsheet that you try to not forget.

Yes. And it makes sense. Aki is a much higher poly count, actual individual strands of hair, with cinema quality rendering. The other is a video game model.

Right, so Aki clearly looks better

Aki was years before alyx and looked much better. Which makes sense considering one was rendered for cinema and one was for real time game engine rendering

Unfortunately there is no realistic way that people would boycott GTA for anything, let alone this. People tried to rally for a Sony boycott and it has as much affect as a bug trying to push back a truck.

This is the problem with social media. Outrage drives clicks, so “feminism” is portrayed as a caricature of brightly died hair, “ugly” women, feeble men, and the stereotype of unemployed art students.

It’s exactly what we were warned about in books like 1984 and animal farm. The media controls thoughts, who controls the media?

I haven’t seen the movie but I’ve read the book. I thought it was pretty clear that most of it was fictional or at least grossly exaggerated.

Spider-Man (PS4) was just a worse Arkham with web slinging. And it sounds like Wolverine is just a worse Spider-Man without web slinging.
