Idk, I got like all the jiggy’s before beating gruntilda

Time extension sucks ass. It’s a usability nightmare. Wish I could block all links to it in my feed.

I think the prominence of tip options is largely driven by the POS/payments platforms. Square, for example, wants you to tip because they get $.10 + 2.6% of the transaction. They would get this from the total transaction, so if you tip $2 they’ll get almost $.3 of that tip as part of the total transaction fee. They make it easy to enable for the vendor, but inconvenient to skip in the UI if enabled because you have to push a button to get to the receipt button. Plus why would the employee skip it? It might make them a little extra cash. The power of defaults is strong.

They might be able to do what Taki did and source the components they’re looking for directly from the manufacturer rather than using existing boards.

I do think this is a big stretch, but things in this market are starting to change.

I doubt this, but the Mars FPGA project supposedly will have a Dreamcast core and it’s being supported by respectable people in the community. The mister cores for everything else could be ported, though without the support of the original developers that might be a bit sketch.

I still doubt it, but I don’t think it’s impossible

Except the comic doesn’t show them discussing or showing a naked body, it’s a weirdo pointing out the genitals to another person in a very public place. If it was toes, it’d be fine. If it was just a naked body it’d be whatever, mostly. But they’re specifically pointing out genitals, that implies sexual focus. It’s only “cute” and “funny” for the old women here because eventually it’ll be an organ used for sex…

I, too, am part of the smarty pants society

I don’t want to type a LOT, just enough to make a quick search or rename a file occasionally. Setting up with a keyboard and then relying on the touch screen after would be fine.

I’ve considered it, I just don’t want to have to turn on or pull up/out another computer to remote into it if it would be easier to walk up to the screen in the corner to just download something real quick.

I highly doubt that, the compute on these tablets is straight trash.

i read the article and it didn’t seem to state. how will they target me? using the personal info I’m required to give them to book my flight? the origin and destinations and seat location? these are entirely different kinds of metrics. one is far more invasive. and is it tying into larger models they’ve purchased from like google or something? this is stupid and i hate it.

It’s actually dumber than you describe. Everywhere west of the cascades is like 99% federal land

I hate that i recognize that this quote is actually a screen shot from Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 (2009)

I’m aware of tithing. I’m saying that 10% of your income in a tithe is not even remotely the same thing as 18% tip for a single purchase. It’s more comparable to a sales tax than a tithe. One is percentage of a total income, the other is a percentage of a purchase.

Holy shit. They give god 10% of their income. This server is “asking” for 18% of the price of their bill. They’re not even remotely the same thing.

I’m generally against tipping, but still do it. I’m way against illogical comparisons like this though.

As an adoptive parent of two kids from foster care, I know this is biased. And actually now that I’ve got a few years of parenting kids with trauma under my belt I actually think most people shouldn’t take on this challenge, because they actually wouldn’t be able to handle it. That said, I think that’s the only real way to counter the idiocracy effect. Adopt kids of the least responsible people to those who are most responsible. It’s mostly an opt-in, self selecting process that generally only moves things in the right direction. It’s also not really enough to actually offset the problem as a whole.

Still a good thing for folks to pursue though.

you guys make calls?

lot of comments in here talking about how they’re just doing their kills some other way: cops, mass shootings, not getting caught (this one is the most braindead). But everyone is ignoring how we’ve largely eliminated regular lead exposure that used to be the norm. that shit makes you go fucking insane.
