Pretty useful for software engineering, particularly helpful in writing a test suite, you still need to actually check the output though ofc

Also made use of it for writing my end of year review to solve the blank page problem, I find it a lot easier to edit down than starting HR stuff like that entirely from scratch

Through what mechanism am I being teleported?

Can I be teleported to the origin of it?

C’mon man, you know how big retro stuff is

There are people unironically out there listening to tapes on warbly old walkmans just for the aesthetic of a nostalgia they’ll never have

This one is genuinely deserving of an internet blue plaque

I can also completely believe that scenario.

Imagine if you got to the point where someone was making jokes like this about you and everyone was laughing with them

Elon is genuinely such a cringey loser it’s kind of remarkable

“my father is a cringelord”

This would make sense if Steam didn’t exist and is arguably the most consumer friendly of the storefronts

And if people weren’t increasingly choosing to not shop in brick & mortar stores anyway. The big high street game retailer in my country has mostly transitioned to being a nerd-culture merch shop rather than somewhere that actually stocks any games other than the Sims, CoD or EAFC.

A large number of Americans generally seem to grow up with a main character complex thanks to all the individualist & jingoist propaganda people get bombarded with over there.

The search for something “exotic” as you put it is just an ego-driven search for the piece of evidence that they are, in fact, more special and unique than everyone else.

A modern text editor with language servers running absolutely will take up 1GB+, I know I can easily get neovim to go past that with typescript projects.

Reminds me of Daniel Radcliffe (I think?) wearing the same jacket or something for months because it made the paparazzi photos useless as people just assume they’re all from the same day if someone is wearing the same clothes

No no, terrorists would also do things like bomb hospitals or run over civilians with a bulldozer

Might be a serial cable for null modem play

AI “tools” like this are an absolute piece of piss to create, and they are also the kind of thing that bro investors love to throw money at currently

It was your comment that made me realise

PTSD from playing RA1 online on a large map and hearing that laugh from a side of the map you’ve not explored yet

Probably the only upside of the UK doing a Brexit is that now I can collect stamps in my passport more readily again.

Not much of an upside compared to the downsides, but every cloud…

Chipotle Cholula is what these are missing

I’m in the UK where we’ve got the NHS and cheap medicine, so that might be why I’m hard on the “just give me the medicine” side of things.

I can’t think of any situation when I’d pick an alternative herbal medicine over the medical solution from a chemist if I actually had a problem I wanted to resolve.

Unfortunately it doesn’t seem like they’ve really stuck with it

It’s apparently not a universal opinion, but I reckon pickled onion are the all time best monster munch flavour. Beef and hot are both great too, but picked onion is best IDST

Potentially more controversially, I rate them in a crisp sandwich situation too
