I am not sure it's fair to equate the xbox 360 with the current generation which is the Xbox Series X/S, which was preceded by the Xbox One X/S, so the 360 is two base iterations old at this point. Not that I am defending M$F

Alternatively, I wouldn't want to be in a club that was lame enough to accept me. :)

This would have saved me a lot of mental anguish about 2 years ago, my phone screen died and I needed about 5 authenticators that were on it just to clock in at my (remote) job and get to what I needed to do the job. Eventually I solved the

What is your definition of processed food? Are potatoes processed because they are cleaned? Is chicken breast processed because the chicken is plucked? Is vinegar processed because it has undergone a chemical transformation via fermentation

Echoes of Terry Pratchett: Archaeologists are excited for this find because it comes with a visitor's center and a parking lot.

I suspect this might be because diet marketing before AI was one of the most fraught with misinformation subjects you could run across. This is because the "sale" of the idea has an effect on every salesman, so all of the salesmen

You could try the thing that made it click for me, long after x86 was dominant. Show them a CPU running on Logisim (or the like, such as the newer Digital) and show how when you plug a program into a ROM, it turns into wires lighting up and

I never watched Samurai Jack when it was coming out as a child. I have begun watching it recently and it is absolutely a breathtaking piece of work.

I cannot fathom how you have obtained the information to be as sure as you are about this.

Imagine inventing something like a better coffee carafe and being able to say this about a sizable portion of notable structures.

Can you elaborate? What information are you gleaning from anecdotes that is both reliable and efficacious enough to outweigh research? I'm not trying to challenge your point, I am genuinely curious.

By being amazed when observing it, one can conclude that a thing is amazing.

I take "external power" to mean power that is not "free" as in humans paid for it. Otherwise the phrase "External power" is meaningless, as all energy comes from somewhere else eventually. (unless you're a

Well the process isn't quite the same, they are missing the immense value-add of substantial human suffering in their creation.

People you don't know are boring. Most people are full of surprises, unique insights, traits, and perspectives, if given enough time in the right setting. An increasing rarity at this point.

Somewhat ironically you are underestimating the amount of effort it takes to be as universally reviled as that person. Presumably because you, like most people, have never been in that field.

There is a (likely small) chance that you lost your keys in an unknown or lost oil/gas well. So yes, in theory.

The domestic accident is in the home, a far less acceptable place to have a threat. Furthermore, the threat/cause of the accident is presumably being visualized as a human shaped live-in android a la Bicentennial Man. A human shaped t

possibly counter to intuition, I find that since I have started to religiously use my stationary bike in the morning, I have a lot more energy for the day, not less. I suppose if you're butting up against caloric/nutrient limits y

The point is that one needs specifically deliberate practice to achieve constant improvement. GP is saying that driving demonstrates this by showing that non-deliberate practice ceases to show improvement fairly quickly.

Erdős has a huge amount of credits in the papers of others (hence Erdős number) because he would just travel all over the country helping people get unstuck on their work.

I can guarantee "simple" comes at the cost of (probably) multiple tens of thousands of pages of thrown away scratch paper (or equivalent) over many years and lives.

The US actions in the past, and presently, have been abhorrent. As a US citizen I have no issue admitting this. I also have no issue also stating I think the invasion of Ukraine is an ongoing atrocity by Russia. I don't think you'
