I couldn’t agree more. The idea seemed to have been “Hey, lets take a joke that was just luke warm at best to begin with, and then over use it in an attempt to wring every single spec of amusement out of it until our audience gets physically sick when they hear it”
Still a fun show though!
It’s a small plastic cup full of ground coffee, Kuerig machines use them. They generated a ton of plastic waste, since each k-cup was a single use.
I also second social media, but I need to make another suggestion it’d be Keurigs k-cups. So much plastic waste for the barest level of convenience.
Oh Hi-Rez you trash company. You ruined one of my favorite franchises of all time, not once, but twice with Tribes Ascend, and Tribes 3.
I miss multiplayer in PC games being done by joining a server and playing. No match making bullshit, it was fun to be in a server with a mixture of skill levels. As compared with a lot of game snow, when ever your skills improve, you just get thrown into a harder tier of match making until you reach your limit and burn out.
The whole article is full of gross stuff if true. This part is ridiculous:
A 2022 story reported that a flight attendant on Musk’s private jet said he exposed himself and offered “to buy her a horse in exchange for an erotic massage,”
Elon is such a weirdo.
Always saying the quiet part out loud.
Seems like that maybe should be illegal.
Exactly what I’d expect for something associated with Musk.
It’s predatory, and even worse, will prevent some people from healing through grief. The future kinda sucks.
Just as the company who’s offering the service is motivated by the all consuming need to make money, so to is the journalist strives to make click bait to drive revenue. So the wheel turns.
This service is creepy as hell though, anything that’s literally a black mirror episode should probably be reconsidered as a product or service.
I think I got my first cell phone in 2001 or 2002, it was a Kyocera 2135, or another similar model from Kyocera. My first PC is an Acer with a 75 MHz with 8 mb of RAM, came preinstalled with Windows 3.1. My family got it maybe 8 months before Windows 95 came out.
Some background on me, I’m a IT geek, I love technology, I love VR, not a huge fan of apple. I couldn’t understand the use case for the Vision Pro, especially given battery life and other odd little limitations. The hardware sounded absolutely amazing, some incredible features, but Apple really wanted to distance the headset from VR, and instead was pushing this weird idea that you’d just sit and use the head in an Augmented Reality style interface for their eco system. Imagine wearing this thing during your child’s first birthday in order to capture a 3d video.
It’s a shame, but it’s a solution looking for a problem. If they would have leaned hard into the incredible hardware to be a killer VR headset too, that may have helped a little bit. But as everyone else is saying… I’m not surprised by this outcome.
The Mouse will not be pleased…
I think you can provide lyrics yourself, can udio generate lyrics on its own? I listened to some of the staff pick songs, and they were pretty good. I’m not musically inclined, and I have zero skill in coming up with lyrics, but stuff like this and Midjourney let me be creative in ways I don’t have natural talent in.
I bet Udio is going to loathed by musicians even harder then artists hate Midjourney.
I read that Tesla being Tesla reinvented a ton of very standard components that other car manufacturers have been using for decades. So there are a lot of weird issues with Teslas that you wouldn’t see in a car from an established car maker. It’s Tesla ego which makes them think that they can design component better than a whole industry over decades and decades could.
When the Model S came out, I thought it was the height of cool, but I wouldn’t consider buying one of their vehicles now. I think the only reason they even kinda did well was that the rest of the car makers were slow to start making EVs that looked decent and were priced reasonably. Now that the big boys are in the game, Tesla has been dropping the price of some of their models to try and stay competitive. But their cars have always had quality assurance issues, and their support isn’t decent at all, since they try to blame customers for things outside of their control.
Up next, Fox News accuses walnuts of being lazy.
The Thing is my favorite horror movie. With that being said, they probably didn’t have a grand plan for the dog turning to look back. They probably didn’t even direct the dog to do that, because it’s a dog, it was probably looking back at it’s trainer in that scene.
The motive for the The Thing is always survive, and in that situation it was being hunted, and getting away from that threat was first and foremost it’s goal. After it was safe, it wanted to leave the arctic, to most likely infect and convert more life forms. It’s unknown if The Thing is a space faring race on it’s own, or just a parasitic hitch hiker who consumes life forms and adds their understanding it it’s own. If it’s just a consumer of life, then it’s goal would be to get out of arctic to population centers and get to work taking over and mimicking more organisms. If it’s intelligent and isn’t just a consume, it’d want to get off of earth to continue doing what ever Thing things it would normally do. I definitely lean toward it being a consumer, having tried to take over the original owners of the ship it crashed onto earth in.
How light are “hoglets”? Because I’d think a living creature would weigh a bit more than a hat bobble.
