Is there a reason you can’t use a Playstation controller?

If anything, this indicates that restaurants should be forced to print menus so it’s as annoying and inconvenient as possible to raise prices.

See? Pixel devices are nothing but a trip to the lemon grove, but people with debilitating chronic ass pain tearfully refuse to accept that they wasted their money on GETBRAND. I take those downvotes as an unofficial census confirming how many people don’t know ball.

People who use stock ROMs choose to suffer, just like people who choose to buy a Pixel that will either come unglued, push components through the display, or just constantly overheat.

This would be sad if Pixel phones were worth buying, instead of being far inferior to midrange Motorola devices in battery life and performance while costing well over twice as much.

Watch versions as close as possible to the original theatrical versions of Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi. Don’t even bother watching anything else with the words “Star Wars” on it, life’s too short to sit around watching boring, shitty media that wastes your time. Can’t say I recommend almost any of the novels, either.

On Firefox it’s doing a whole lot of loading and not much else.

In real life, or in ARMA 3?

We’re still in the uncanny valley, but it seems that we’re climbing out of it. I’m already being ‘tricked’ left and right by near perfect voice ai and tinkered with image gen

Skill issue

What’s the point of wrestling with a pig? You both get muddy, and the pig likes it.
Maybe it’s because I grew up with the old, “mean” internet, but my response to communities full of trash is to leave them alone and let the blind lead the blind. Seriously, what the hell is arguing with them going to do? They expect to be challenged, they will not see reason, they will not suffer to be helped, and you are not going to be the person who changes that.

“Why isn’t my horse pushing the cart”

For real, I was shocked it was as many as seven drones they shot down. I saw $200M and figured it meant two.

Ha ha “pew research”

Offer alternatives such as all-beef radio, or turkey radio.

Insert “soy radio” / [radio station you dislike] joke here

Talk about burying the lede

Another explanation for why the JWST may have seen an overrepresentation of galaxies rotating in one direction is that the Milky Way’s own rotation could have caused it.

Previously, scientists had considered the speed of our galaxy’s rotation to be too slow to have a non-negligible impact on observations made by the JWST.

“If that is indeed the case, we will need to re-calibrate our distance measurements for the deep universe," Shamir concluded. “The re-calibration of distance measurements can also explain several other unsolved questions in cosmology such as the differences in the expansion rates of the universe and the large galaxies that according to the existing distance measurements are expected to be older than the universe itself.”

Those are from the beginning of corporations, we don’t need to look to speculative fiction. The British East India Company waged literal war against rival corporations.

This is your reminder that Tom Clancy wrote a fictional universe in which the United States and Russia actually disarmed all of their ICBMs, and portrayed it as a good thing. He also had the U.S. spending tons of humanitarian dollars on a multi-state partition of Israel and Palestine with an internationally-governed neutral Jerusalem. He had a book where under-regulated capitalism led to a cartel of businessmen taking control of the Japanese government and running it as a rogue state. Possibly my favorite, he wrote the U.S. and Europe spending money like water to foster democracy and civic pride in late '90s Russia, culminating in Russia being admitted into NATO so that the entire global north could be controlled by a proto-state of liberal democracies, putting a check on the expansion of authoritarian powers and hopefully laying the groundwork for a very-long-term dream of a free and democratic world state with no war.

This is someone who was accurately labeled a conservative. They used to be allowed to believe in things like that.
