Here's one on Google maps https://maps.app.goo.gl/55qqbQRYY7abKPVy9 I drove past this for years without thinking about it until one day I drove under it.

Now that I know what it is, it's pretty obvious, but how often does the average person really inspect houses as they drive by?

Edit: maps links suck, 3911 Frances St, Burnaby, BC V5C 2P4

Underground railways use houses for ventilation as well.

It just doesn't make sense. I don't want granite counter tops and Italian taps, I want a roof and a floor and a place for a bed.

Honestly, I just want a little strawberry box house, but I'd settle for a condo outside of town.

It was a serious problem for a long time. Late 90's/early 2000's E3 and game shows were greasy.

I remember gaming magazines running whole sections just on the "best booth babes" of the season.

I demoed a system that let you input construction plans and walk around/ interact with ar wires/plumbing/walls once. But it was so cumbersome to implement it was more like a neat tech demo.

Maybe once the tech is small enough to fit inside safety glasses...

This is the frustrating part of it. The public doesn't understand what's actually happening, or what the goal of these large language models is, so because they're very convincing conversationalists, your average Joe considers them as true AI.

My issue is, aside from gaming, I'm not interacting with the content or data in any meaningful, improved way.

VR for real life is just a series of flat two dimensional screens, usually with a novelty background of a waterfall.

I kept thinking it was a loop of numbers.

There's a few things from dos that have a permanent place my soul. A:/KEEN.exe, idkfa, iddqd and gorillas.

Right now my phone gives me the option if RCS fails for some reason, to send the message again with SMS. I assume that will be the case here as well.

I'm using nobara right now, but somewhere over the last year my bluetooth has stopped working.
This has led me down the road of a reinstall, nobara had been great for gaming but now that I'm looking at spending more time developing I'm also looking at an immutable os. There has been some really enlightening discussion here.

Bittorrent is nice for getting isos, but it would pul my hair out if I tried to download patches with it.

I have a dual boot partition, but honestly the games that don't run are so few and far between that I really don't bother..

It's like if you bought a Playstation, how do you play Xbox games? Unless it's really worth it, you just don't.

They're very inconsistent. I've had an x360 since 2020 and, aside from the hinge being weak, it's still going. I'm also pretty careless with my equipment. My wife uses it now.

But then, I've seen more than one like yours that has seemed to evaporate like a cheap t-shirt.

Ive been 100% linux since 2016, and while there are some pain points, the games that work, work amazingly well.

I have epic games, gog, steam games all working through launchers that work pretty perfectly. The biggest pain points are developers with intrusive anticheats.

Check the games you/your friends play against protondb.com or areweanticheatyet.com before committing yourself.

I asked my dad if he had any money saved to help with college and he told me that people like us don't go to college. I dropped out in grade 11. I hope to graduate university in three years from now at the ripe old age of 41.

If it is not sensitive data, and you're okay being morally objectionable, you can buy a large hard drive from some place with a good return policy, transfer your data to it, format/repartition your drive, transfer everything back and return the hdd for a 15% stocking fee.

I mean yeah, but also that's the worst dystopian nightmare I've ever heard.

"How can I change my desktop background?" "There are four ways to change your desktop background, which would you like to hear more about?"

These clowns can't make all your settings in one place.

Package it up and return to sender.
