   I'd happily drive a minivan because they are better than small pickups, SUVs and crossovers in many ways but they're boring and thats the mold they're trying to fill. If someone broke that mold then maybe they'd find pe

   >I'm not personally convinced that minivans lend themselves to much differentiation. I agree. That is why my original thesis was that Hondas are now uninspiring, undifferentiated and boring. Pretty much minivans are all those thin

   Yet still bland and undifferentiated and a minivan.

   Its cute but not particularly exciting in my opinion, what do you think?

   Its too bad since Honda has seemed to have totally lost its luster the past decade or so. Honda was Apple to Toyota's Microsoft for a long time, now their cars are bland and undifferentiated, rather than the innovative leaders they us

   I feel like the late 90's hacker ethos was completely different than what the kids coming up now a days are bent to. Sure there was always the element of illegality, digital trespass, pirating, etc., but now the focus seems to be much

   I didn't think my Chromecast was that old (its the puck style) but whenever I try this with VLC using the "Render" menu (on macOS) it just... doesn't work. The Chromecast just never sees it (even though it shows up in t

   And if they do make them to slack, usually all those things that you would have to manually make filters for are usually in their own channels that you can just mute.

    Since the CEOs of Google, Amazon and Meta were seated at the front row of the inauguration, IN FRONT OF the incoming cabinet, I'm pretty confident their techno -power-barrel will come via other channels.

    People trying to act like this Chinese controlled vehicle supports free speech is so weird to me. They're not "censoring" anything - they're using it as a straight unimpeded funnel to subvert the west.

    There is abundant evidence that these type of hardware inserts exist and are being deployed. Why do you think it isn't happening?

    I, personally, am convinced it has and is happening.

    I find it super interesting that Apple is x-raying the PCBs for their compute nodes. Guess they took Supermicro inserting malicious devices into their servers very seriously.

    Processed or ultra-processed? It looks to me like the majority of the things made started unprocessed (cabbage, pork shoulder, salmon, lettuce, chicken, bananas, eggs), some was processed (mayo, tortillas, white bread, flour) with only a sm

    And suddenly wanting to "find yourself" when you don't need the support any more. Sounds like a pretty shitty person. To some people, loyalty counts for nothing.

    What they're going to end up cutting (and have) is children cancer research and infectious disease teams. Such "excessive waste!"

    There is no upper bound on how much debt the US gov can carry as long as they're paying their interest and people still have trust that they will. Its the TRUST part that is at most risk right now.

    MOONRING too which is another really fun game, although one that hasn't yet gone as mainstream as Balatro. There is so much "draw the rest of the Owl" between a very primitive framework like LÖVE and stylistic games like BALA

    I'm curious why they ended up focusing on DOTA. Prize money? Valve make the game particular amenable to machine interface?

    I found all the discussions about Dota pretty amusing. I had no idea it was such a big thing for them early on.

    Yeah and Mars is a shitty place to live. And will always be a shitty place to live. No amount of fantastical "terraforming" is going to create a magnetosphere.
