Having had pints in Ireland and the US… not the best, haha

Absolutely. I arrived thinking the name “land of smiles” was just tourist marketing but it’s completely true. I enjoyed having a pint of Guinness in the random “Irish” pub in CM too. It was too novel not to.

I loved my time in Chiang Mai, I could totally imagine this happening

I have some friends that are conservative and are constantly complaining about the high tax here in the northeast, but this is the exact stuff I point to when it comes up. You get what you pay for. You couldn’t pay me to move to the south.

I’m sorry that happened to you

I’m gonna follow the lead of my Stardew Valley wife and say amethyst

Shel Silverstein would be proud

I hope that isn’t one of the activist’s blood all over the place

They’ve pulled back from any sort of “death market” because they’re terrified of facing regulation.

20 year olds are adults, there is no problem in regards to that. What the hell is this waking coma you’re talking about?

People have different personalities and preferences. You might as well ask why some people like to eat certain things while others hate it.

One trick pony

What’s the maximum time you can set it off for?

Lowest or longest timer?

I hope to see this in my lifetime

I’m a programmer. There is a narrow lane of things I will trust it to assist me with, and none of that without review. I’m not worried about my job in the slightest, barring a significant leap in the tech that I frankly do not see happening any time soon.

All these people building vibe coded products are building houses of cards that are more likely than not security nightmare black boxes.

Slow Horses is technically a cop show, I guess, but they definitely don’t paint them in a great light.

Nope, no one has achieved root access on the Xbox series consoles. Xbox one only just got rooted last month, and only the original model at that.

Hypothetically, even if the heat of the blast didn’t vaporize it, I don’t see how something that size moving at 150,000 mph wouldn’t ablate from intense friction with the atmosphere before reaching space.

The issue with the majority of the Catholic Church wasn’t that they were pedos, it was that they weren’t willing to do anything about those within the church that were pedos. It’s not even limited to pedophilia, even; they turn a blind eye to many things that would cast the church in a bad light. Better to keep it in house and sweep it under the rug. I had an (adult) family member who was sexually harassed by the principal of the school she worked at. They sent everyone to sexual harassment training, including her, rather than deal with it appropriately. He was not fired.
