South Texas + Never buy the cheapest of anything you actually care about. Lesson learned! (Same unit replaced twice under warranty)

In Google’s defense, my Nest outlasted two three! AC units. I’ll upgrade to a gen 4 because it’s a well made device and the people who worked on it deserve the credit

exactly. The number of times I’ve had my buds but not my phone is embarrassing.

It’s called the Electoral College, and it’s bullshit

Or you have more than one kid.

I was mostly intrigued with the idea of having the wireless bud case be the music player, which would mean carrying the headphones in their case would be the only thing I need to carry if I want music.

In retrospect, this is probably just a remote screen for the phone it’s connected to.

This is the first apple device I would willingly buy.

In a lot of places 5K a month covers daycare, and not much more

Not quite, no. Not everyone works on the weapons.

Well, I can’t get into details, but the field is vast.

At the very least he’s whatever the Spear of Destiny turned that poor brown guy into at the beginning of Constantine.

I completely forgot about that character, but I also read this in an Indian accent and didn’t even realize I had until I read your comment.

I had a friend in a difficult position, deciding between high pay at Buy N Large or the opportunity to work on insanely cool shit for Death Inc.

Ultimately he chose Death Inc, and the reasoning was along the lines of “This might kill a hundred people, but at least it’ll kill them specifically. I can’t even conceptualize the harm Amazon et al. do on a global scale to entire populations without even trying”.

Made me think. I didn’t have a very good answer to that.

Someone who was just payed $3K for some juicy Intel or documents.

It’s called the uncanny valley. Some believe it’s an instinctual response to keep you away from corpses. Others say it’s more broadly an artifact from a time when humanity needed to be wary of things that looked human but weren’t…

He’ll have a single car delivered this way, and there will be a Tesla robot in the driver’s seat being puppeted by someone in the back seat of a Tahoe driving behind the car (they couldn’t do actual remote because starlink doesn’t cover the delivery area).

They’ll then awkwardly film the whole thing, interview the overenthusiastic stooge they hired to “buy” the car, and fly the mission accomplished banner.

It’s not even words, it “thinks” in “word parts” called tokens.

Because you’re not getting an answer to a question, you’re getting characters selected to appear like they statistically belong together given the context.
