Got this game during the steam winter sale and I'm loving it. It's quirky and fun and the variety in gameplay is unlike anything else I've ever played. The accolades are well deserved.

Omg I can't agree with this strongly enough. Just typing this comment I've had to manually correct multiple typos because even with haptic feedback and autocorrect I still end up with totally garbled text. I have never been able to get the hang of typing on a touch screen. Im still pining for the good old days of blackberries and slide out keyboards.

Hell, even a built in stylus like the galaxy note had would be a welcome fix to constantly fumbling with whatever keyboard I'm trying to make work at the moment.

I know! I found it through Hacker News and was skeptical about it given the click bait looking thumbnail and title but it turned out to be pretty decent. That record holder looks like he's about 12 - so weird to think of someone that young playing an NES game.

Funny how months of companies laying off employees didn't make some of these places think that people without jobs might also spend less.

I'm not sitting around wishing for people like this to die but I'm damn well not mourning their death. The world is a better place without scum like this man and the hate he creates.

The dude was 85. Why do these troglodytes live so f-ing long?

But ultimately, Ashton should know that already. I will grant him that the statements written by him and Mila were given months before all the details were made public.

I think this is the most likely factor in why both Kutcher and Kunis wrote statements. They knew a friend was in court (who probably told them it was all crap and that they were innocent) and that their friend would benefit from a reference from someone well known who could vouch for their good character. So they did it to help a friend who they likely believed would be cleared of wrongdoing.

Then all the details came out and it became clear that he was probably guilty and statements were already sent. They could have requested them back but probably thought it wouldn't make a difference in the result of the case and either didn't worry about it for that reason or just tried to rationalize that they were standing by a friend because of the good old days when he wasn't doing terrible things.

I could see it working well as a I think you should leave bit

FYI here is a site with instructions on how to cancel your prime membership since it's not the easiest thing to find.

I was able to cancel on the mobile app using this same process.

I've seen a tesla 'self driving' hit the breaks when approaching a bridge. No f-ing way am I flying on an AI-piloted plane.

The entire airline industry is like that. It's part of the reason we have such big problems when one airport has flight delays- they aren't able to easily make adjustments system wide.

There's a really interesting video on YouTube about it. Link

I second How did this get made, though now that Stitcher is gone their back catalog isn't available anywhere so you have to just get current episodes ( I'm a completionist so that bugs me).

I also enjoy history vs. But I mainly listened to it because of their series on Teddy Roosevelt. It was fantastic. I recommend it , but I think they cover a lot of different topics so YMMV based on the individual series/topic being covered.

Couple of issues with this data. 1- People are much more likely to report bites from larger dogs (since they cause injury that requires medical treatment and reporting is done automatically) 2- Any stats by design are going to be correlational evidence and do not guarantee causality so it's not at all clear that rate of bites by pits are higher or just more frequently reported because they are pits or because they are so common . 3- As others have pointed out pits are more likely to be found in lower SES homes where resources for training, toys and healthy outlets for dog energy like time for long, regular walks and playtime is less readily accessible. 4-Breeds most associated with aggression are most likely to be treated by humans in ways that incite dogs' anxiety, which is a precursor to aggressive behavior.

I think that pitties are just the victim of really bad press. Once it became common knowledge that they were used in dog fighting, it became part of what everyone "knows" about pits. It creates a self fulfilling prophecy by seeing only results they expect rather than thinking about why they expected to see it in the first place.

Yeah, I've found nicer stuff there at affordable prices vs most furniture stores and it's better than going round Amazon. There's always 5 stores with identical photos selling what looks like the same thing and reviews are high for one and low for others so it's kind of hard to know what you're buying. Finding stuff takes a fair amount of work but most of what I've gotten is good.

But every now and then the box arrives and a corner is ripped off so random parts have fallen out in transit and others are scratched. Wayfair is generally good about resolving issues like that but it's a pain to deal with.

It gets worse than that. I live in StL so I got to hear all about this one. The prosecutor was recently forced out of office for screwing literally everything in the office up so badly that all but a couple of the attorneys quit. Cases were getting dismissed or delayed because DAs weren't showing up to court on the first day of trial, because many times they weren't being told they had been assigned the case. People weren't getting paid, and defendants were languishing in jail for months before any action was taken on their case.

The head of the prosecutors office was not showing up to work, apparently working on a health science degree or something and was basically doing everything but her job and she fought every attempt to kick her out.

Things have started getting better since she was removed but there is a HUGE mess to clean up in the STL justice system right now so if this bar owner has to go through the courts getting any kind of resolution will take a long time. I hope he has a good attorney with a lot of patience and tenacity because he's going to need it.

Yeah I know. My brother in law (and by extention my sister) are super smart and politically active but they have a house full of data sucking gadgets like Alexa and absolutely no concerns about data privacy or security. I've tried to talk to them about being more selective about how they share their data, but my brother in law is a lawyer so trying to persuade him is like going to court and is just exhausting.

"they intend to re-create events not captured by camera using generative AI,"

That's going to cause all sorts of problems.

Pleasant surprise. The Justices must not have gotten any houses paid for, luxury vacations or loans forgiven by gun manufacturers.

Yeah I've been thinking about trying that actually. Even thought about trying to rewire the sleep phones to make them permanently bluetooth but didn't want to mess them up. May try that or the adapter sometime.

I have the same kind of headphones. They cost $400 (at the time) and now they are useless with most devices.

I also use sleep phones at night to fall asleep to asmr and those run with cables. If my tablet didn't have a jack I wouldn't be able to use them, and those sleep phones are a lifeline. Being able to listen to asmr on headphones while laying on my side makes it so much easier to fall asleep. All the Bluetooth variants are cheap Chinese knockoffs that fall apart after a couple months, but the sleepphones are still working years later.

This article is a bit annoying because it's simultaneously a review of how Twitter was so important to journalists and politicians and how that they basically developed how Twitter grew (dysfunctionally), but also misses the point that a ton of journalists weren't really delivering great news from it when they were using it.

How many stories over the years have just been a collection of tweets strung together by a few poorly written lines of editorializing? What "stories" were basically just prompted because some famous person tweeted something about a topic or person?

Twitter became a crutch for journalists to use in the absence of real research and reporting and I hope journalists will not find an alternative when it finally dies.
