Makes you wonder how many people got jailed for a crime they didn't commit before the widespread use of fingerprints and DNA just because they resembled someone else.

Go ahead and laugh, but just wait until the class gets to Beowulf.

So it's just a single app running on a minimal Android implementation, the AI is done on remote servers and it still gets lousy battery life? Sounds like they dropped the ball on design. Nevertheless, no one is going to carry this that doesn't already have a phone that can do everything the Rabbit does. It has no reason to exist.

Nobody wants to work anymore.

Who the fuck would want to go to Afghanistan for any reason? Them boys been hitting the poppy juice a bit too much.

Further proof that Reddit is committed to copying every stupid decision that the Muskrat makes.

For a "genius", he sure is slow on the uptake.

It's never been profitable but Huffman gets millions as CEO. Fuck spez.

Someone will have to explain to her (slowly) what perjury means, her being a Trump and all.

Apparently, he fell off a pedestrian bridge into the Genesee, the police say they have surveillance video. Divers were searching the river but hadn't found anything last I looked. They didn't say which bridge or how they knew he fell. A sad story, regardless.

I hit a deer while riding my motorcycle. I saw it crossing the road from my left, tried to evade it, heard the bang of my fairing hit it, and next thing I knew I was lying on my back looking up at the sky. I ended up with a shattered collarbone, broken ribs, and some road rash on my left side. I have absolutely no memory of falling or sliding at all (and I'm okay with that).

The most likely explanation for why I survived was that I was only going 30 mph (50 kph). That same day another rider wasn't so lucky. There was a husband and wife in one of the cars behind me that were both EMTs and I got experienced care right away. Plus, I was wearing boots, gloves, a leather jacket, and a full-face helmet. The road rash was from my jeans wearing through during the slide.

Delusional.

Mid/late-90s, a woman who was having an affair with one of the managers gets a huge promotion despite not even being qualified for the job she had. No question as to why. Proceeds to embarrass herself at every turn, yet manager thinks she's great. Meanwhile, truly deserving people are overlooked.

Mid-2000, same woman is now in charge of a new product team. I'm working as a technical consultant and evaluating products for purchase by GSA (Government Services Administration, the buying arm of the US Federal government). Her product is on the GSA-approved list but has never been evaluated for compliance. Lying to the Feds subjects you to the False Claims Act and can result in fines and being blocked by GSA from selling to the government. I alert company management to this. Not only is it a danger to the company, she had to have lied about it to launch the product in the first place. Lawyers get involved. I hurriedly evaluate the product. Luckily, it qualifies. We cross our fingers no one from GSA ever asks to see the paper trail.

A month later she's leaving the company to start her own catering business (I'm not making this up).

It didn't last a year.

In college, after working Friday night in the dining hall kitchen, a Pabst 16oz can was my shower beer before heading out to the weekend parties.

How I still got up to work Saturday and Sunday breakfast shift is nothing short of miraculous.

"Run" for president.

Supply exceeded demand, it happens.

I hardly text and your call is going to voice mail. Phone things are not the reason I have a smartphone. I'd be happy with an updated Palm Pilot with connectivity.

8/8 for all his Nazi followers.

Both my parents smoked so I didn't notice it growing up. Once I went to college and got away from that environment I really started to notice it all around me. Nothing was worse than opening up the closet and smelling the smoke on the coat you wore the night before at a bar. Luckily, my county was an early adopter of non-smoking sections and eventually outright banning and that changed everything.

Mac: Firefox is my primary, Edge for things that don't work in Firefox, Safari for things that don't work in Edge.

PC: Firefox and Edge.

I assume this means encrypted P25 . Public service agencies have been using it for years, though not all of them encrypt.

There's a manual?

I write in cursive with a fountain pen in a Mnemosyne notebook. It's tantamount to code due to my poor handwriting 😀

It's really different, that's for sure. The front page is full of subreddits I've never seen much (or any) of before. Comments on posts seem lower by an order of magnitude on the most popular ones. I don't know about site visits but engagement seems way down. How u/spez will spin it for the IPO remains to be seen.

I have a closely cropped beard. I grew it in the pandemic just to see if I could. It didn't look too bad and my wife didn't object so I kept it. Beats shaving every day.

If there was ever an opportunity to wear a monocle, this was it.

He claimed to have been drunk since he was 14. How he lived as long as he did is one of life's mysteries.

I'm on the Boomer/Gen X border. I'm still working because I want to but in a different career (college professor) than before, one with less stress and a lower salary. I have plenty of hobbies but don't derive the same satisfaction from them as I do from work. I just don't expect that to be the case forever, though.

Anyone reveling in "punching down" is a piece of shit.

I don't dislike it but I prefer Anime Ace from Blambot for use in comics.

And I just washed the floor!

I will vote for Democrats for every position and hope like hell it all works out.

I dropped in today and there was a huge banner at the top of the page claiming to tell me about how much third-party apps were stealing from Reddit.

Who, exactly, was waiting for this?

I don't anymore. Besides an (unrelated) injury I no longer enjoyed it. Too many distracted drivers and it's only getting worse.

Our HP inkjet scanner/copier/printer stopped recognizing cartridges were installed. We replaced it with a Brother laser and it just works.

It would be fine for audio work, for instance, but the overall size and resolution could make measurements a challenge.

And I want a hippopotamus for Christmas. So what?

"Democratic race against Biden"? Uh, are you sure about that?
