Yes, but for some tasks mistakes don't really matter, like "come up with names for my project that does X". No wrong answers here really, so an LLM is useful.

I'm not saying ignore it, it's a valid reason to not like the game, like any other subjective reason.

I'm saying calling the game "Pokemon with guns" is dismissive of what the game is. It's like calling Minecraft "Rust with animal husbandry", which completely misses what the game is about.

People say "Pokemon with guns" as if that was some kind of core gameplay. You can play through the game without ever using them. It's a small feature, that absolutely is there, but reducing the game to that is missing the forest for the trees.

It's an open world crafting base building game to enjoy with co-op, that has catchable creatures like Pokemon. There is no Pokemon game that fits this niche. The guns are not important to what the game is.

Yeah, the environmental issues that are orders of magnitude less problematic than literally pumping the toxic chemicals into the atmosphere like with fossil fuels, vs comparatively miniscule amount of solid waste to store inert.

To make it more specific I guess, what's the problem with that? It's like having a "people living on boats" and "people with no long term address". You could include the former in the latter, but then you are just conveying less information.

He can't pretend to save the world if the world isn't ending.

I never said it was a joke. He fully intended to buy Twitter, then decided he doesn't want to buy it, but was forced to do it.

You can make the argument that something was the reason he originally made the offer to buy Twitter, but that seems separate to me.

If I talk to friends about wanting to dye my hair pink as a joke, then they propose a bet making me do it if I lose, I lose and do it, then the reason my hair is pink is that I lost a bet, not whatever I originally suggested.

If I eat something I don't like because there is nothing else in the fridge, the reason I'm eating it is that there is nothing else in the fridge, not whatever reason is there for it to be in the fridge in the first place (a visiting friend left it behind).

In all cases, the situation was created by some other event, and in Twitter's case, there was an original reason he made the offer, but it did not end up being the reason he bought it, because he wouldn't have bought it otherwise.

That's how I see it.

Reminder: He was forced to buy Twitter by a judge and was doing everything he could to avoid buying Twitter.

He is using it to control the headlines, but that's not the reason he bought it. The reason he bought it is that he was forced to. He wanted to back out of the deal.

A drone is an unmanned vehicle, e.g. SpaceX drone boats serving as mobile landing pads, Ukrainian drone boats carrying explosives, drone research submarines, ground drones for mine defusal, etc.

This is definitely not a drone. It's a quadcopter.

Same deal on Android. OEM launcher apps override the app icons for the OEM's calendar and clock apps, and there is no way for a different app to achieve the same effect.

Glad I'm not alone

It's just a phone number on the website. It's macOS/iOS that decides that clicking a phone number should open FaceTime, and the restaurant has nothing to do with this - they just put their phone number on their website.

Believe it or not, most of them don't live in the US.

Apparently I was the only one to read the title that way, but I thought your brothers died (late) in their 40s.

There is a difference between running in the background and being in memory.

Recent Apps may or may not be in memory, that's why when you switch to a "recent" app not used in a while it restarts anyway instead of continuing where you left it, it's effectively just a bookmark to a closed app. So the list being long doesn't mean these apps are using memory.

While running in the background is unrelated, apps can run in the background regardless if they are in the Recents list or not. And it can absolutely cause issues or excessive battery usage, but clearing the Recents list is not the solution.

Why is it insane? Is it surprising that people make joke offers? Joke offers exist on any online auction site.

The sellers are players. Of course people are going to troll by creating such offers. Doesn't mean anything.

I imagine if such a candidate won, the would forfeit their win by not attending the inauguration and not getting sworn in.

And how does that handle a candidate who is in prison, and how is it different?
