Ooh wow you’re right.

Close to me is “closs”

Close the door is “cloz”

I never noticed

Close isn’t always pronounced the same?!

Assuming it’s just like a Steam Deck without the screen, how would that compare to popular controllers like consoles first-party ones or 8bitdo’s offerings?

My doctor did 10, 20, 30, 40, and I ended up going back to 30 to reduce the tachycardia. I weigh 74 kg.

Maybe we’re just really different people. Or maybe my doctor is just really really careful

The Switch is fantastic for what it is. Sure, it’s anemic and old, but it’s a creative design that more or less created a whole product category and allows for very creative gameplay.

They did push their luck a bit with BOTW and especially TOTK, regarding performance, sure. But most of the time, you really don’t need incredible processing power to play a Nintendo game. They’re overdue for a Switch 2 (I suspect they planned to release that much earlier but a combination of the pandemic and higher sustained sales than anticipated changed their plans), but I really don’t think most of their consoles can be considered mistakes.

IMO Nintendo brings something different and it’s very much okay that it exists.

What I’m actually doubtful about is Xbox and Sony. Those are just PC-controller combos, made cheap through standardisation, high volumes and loss-leader tactics, essentially. Microsoft and, to a lesser but similar degree, Sony, are the ones I’m not convinced provide the world with much value by making consoles.

• there are lots of different drugs, and not all of them work on everyone. You may have to try several until you find one that works well and doesn’t have too many undesirable effects on you.
• usually they start you on a low dose and increase gradually, kind of similarly to how they do for antidepressants. So you won’t really feel the full effect right away. Though starting with 30 mg of lisdexamfetamine is kinda intense. Unless you’re a properly massive individual, I’m amazed the doctor just went there straight away. You could’ve had really unpleasant cardiac side effects. Glad it doesn’t seem like you did.
• it’s not like cocaine. The effect is supposed to be relatively subtle if it’s right for you.

Have you tried brush-gloves? The idea is that they allow you to brush your pet every time you pet them. Having several in every room where you’re likely to spend time with your cat could be the key to brushing more while not feeling like you do.

A lot of authoritarian governments are/were elected though.

Both are young. I think that’s about it.

I used to do it a lot as a teenager. For everything in my life. Now much less. I wonder why.

Find out a burning question that paleontologists have but can’t find an answer to and tell them where to look.

I think they meant no influence on the target timeline, not that you’d forget about the event.

If you assume that your visit creates a different timeline than the one you’re coming back to, sure.

How often does that technique actually improve things in the long run?

Also anti note taking propaganda apparently

Get a Nintendo console. Nintendo Games are absolutely a gateway drug. They’re high quality and generally very easy to get into.

It’s not just that the input data is crap. Mostly the issue is that an LLM is a glorified autocomplete. The core of the technology is making grammatically correct sentences. It has no concept of facts or logic. Any impression that it does is just an illusion borne of the word probabilities baked in.

LLMs are a remarkable example of brute-forcing a solution to a problem, but it’s this same brute force that makes me doubt it’ll ever reach the next level.

I preferred metaverse talk. All of it was obviously useless nonsense that would never go anywhere. It could be safely ignored and laughed at. Simple times.

In contrast, not ALL of AI is useless nonsense. It takes more brain power to think about.

Honestly even Imperial would help at this point. Clothing sizes, in general, are based on basically clouds and dreams and vary wildly by brand or even by model.

I just wish the world standardized. I don’t care how. As long as it’s standard.

It’s wild to me that people just buy the same shoe over and over. I’m not a fashionista by any stretch of the imagination; I just have one, maximum two, pair(s) of footwear per temperature slice, and I don’t even have any formal ones.

But even I would want something new, even if my old pair had served me well.
