But, you can't get in a fight inside a pokecenter, so you should be safe.

Or, can you...?

Vsauce music plays as Nurse Joy pulls out a pokeball

Tons of those folks who lost jobs had children. I didn't know what a recession was but I do remember my mom crying a lot and then us moving from a nice house in the suburbs to an apartment in the bad side of town.

Honestly I'm kind of in the same boat. Most things I want to play usually are things better done with m+k or otherwise intensive games that won't play well on the deck. But my partner loves it and has cleared multiple 100+ hour RPGs with it, and that alone was worth the price of admission.

Jesse, what the fuck are you talking about

... Therefore, your honor, by virtue of the transitive property I, as a citizen of this fine kingdom, am also infallible and cannot be held accountable for crimes committed by the hand of God.

The defense rests.

Nuclear could be extremely effective right now, if only someone put money into it and people stopped jumping at ghosts. We have the technology, it's not like we have another 2 decades of research to make it viable. The general public is just uninformed and when someone says "nuclear" they hear "Chernobyl" and this has caused quite a lot of general mass panic, despite the fact that nuclear is one of the safest and most environmentally friendly power production technologies that exist today.

This is what will really happen. AI will never completely replace a development team, but it can (and will) cut it to a third of its size because all the bulk work is done by AI and just tested or proofread by humans. This will happen over all sorts of industries as different AI models are trained in different skills and fields.

At the end of the day though it doesn't much matter if you have 66% of people or 90% of people out of jobs, you have a major problem either way. If AI takes over the workforce something must be done for the people it is displacing.

I'll yield to your expertise for this one, then. My Windows-centrism is showing I suppose. I used to work IT but my environment was overwhelmingly Windows and that colored my perspective of computing as a whole. Excessive uptime was our #1 cause of problems by a massive margin.

Plus I keep forgetting, like a dumbass, that SteamOS is built out of an offshoot of Linux and carries a lot of the benefits of the Linux kernel.

I'm still shutting it down overnight, though.

That's definitely not true because there isn't a computer system that exists in the world that is designed for true 24/7 uptime, and the meaningful benefit to shutting it down is both lack of power consumption and system stability. If you keep it on 24/7 it's going to start crashing frequently after a few months of uptime and you'll be paying for a non negligible amount of power you've used for no reason.

Edit: I stand by my power consumption statement, but re: uptime, my Windows centric history is showing. The Linux gang has shown up to correct me and they should be listened to.

Playstation, Xbox and Switch all download and install updates during sleep mode. Deck should be able to do that as well. If you're worried about battery life, only allow sleeping downloads when plugged in. Problem solved.

It's not like you can request a Japanese Accord just for fun

You can, you'll just have to pay for it. I fix cars for a living, I've worked on a handful of imported right hand drive cars for a few people. Most of those cars came out of Japan.

Granted, most of them weren't Honda Accords, because someone willing to spend the money to custom ship a Japanese car across the ocean is probably buying something more impressive than that. But you could do it if you wanted.

You never pay attention to a car.

Your tires and oil change are in severely desperate shape, then.

Mind elaborating on those reasons? I'm also a Fold owner and I love it more than any other phone I've ever owned. If there are cons that I'm missing, I'd like to know before I go buy another one of these in a year or two.

This is a copypasta based heavily on Big Bill Hell's Cars which is the single greatest advertisement to ever exist.

The product is objectively the worst possible option in any place that has options, which is most places. It may be useful for some people in some remote parts of the world. Doesn't make it a good product though. It just makes it the only product on offer.

Yeah. I've moved away from where I grew up and I miss the sound of the cicadas, weirdly enough. Summer just doesn't really feel like summer without the BREEEEEaaaREEEEEEEaaaREEEEE of the cicadas in all the trees.

They're annoying until you get used to them and then they just become part of the ambience.

This sub costs either $5 or $9.4x10^32586, I'll roll the dice on that. What are you gonna do, underflow my bank account?

Uh, the news. According to GunViolenceArchive (link here ) who are not themselves necessarily a reputable source but do gather their information from relatively reputable sources, mostly police records and government sources, they actually don't have one listed for today! Hooray! But there was one yesterday in Florida and three more the day before that in Michigan, Indiana, and New Jersey.

Days without shootings do happen but are shockingly rare. Just take a look at the list there.

Android is literally Linux, and also you can put whatever custom rom you want on your phone. Write your own if it's that big a deal to you. Don't stick with stock Android, but if you want a customizable phone, that's your option. Microsoft and Apple don't give you the option for custom firmware. Android does.

No, the alternative is an open source rom on Samsung's hardware. No Google required, at least for now. Though I do expect that to get much more difficult in the future.
