Nope, you’d rather have a sterile piece of wealth display that uses far more water than it should just to sit there and not be used.

Did you see the post from his agent or publisher or whatever saying they dont think he even has a draft?

The thing that I love the most about my watch is that it wakes me up in the morning just by doing a vibration on my wrist. I can set an alarm for early in the morning and jt wont even wake my partner

Someone ported the code for the name generator from stardew to javascript and put it on the web. I use it for all of my RPG characters names these days http://stardewna.me/

Because nobody saw it in theaters lol

You gotta watch O Brother, Where Art Thou. Very good film

I’m only a student in the field so NotADoctor™ but under normal conditions your tear film layer and blinking keep other liquids out of your eyes. When wearing contacts in water or when cleaning them with tapwater, there is a small amount of the fluid that gets trapped against the eye. If that fluid is fresh water contaminated with acanthamoeba, it provides ample opportunity and time for the acanthamoeba to break through the layer and the contact lens prevents it from being blinked away.

My understanding is that acanthamoeba are basically everywhere, and the contacts being worn when swimming or showering are actually one of the main factors in acanthamoeba infection. They normally eat bacteria but they are opportunistic parasites, and I guess the contact gives them the opportunity.

Seen it all, miss it dearly. RIP Edd

I mean, one of the benafits for fentanyl specifically from the perspective of drug dealers is that it’s a synthetic. With heroin or cocaine or something you have to have space to grow the plants or a source for the plants and those can only grow easily at certain latitudes, etc. So you’re limited by the supply chain. With synthetics you can set up a lab anywhere relatively easily, like in Canada for example

I guess I could google it but for the sake of the comment section is that from highest to lowest or the other way around?

I wish I had real bollards. The best my city will do is those floppy white reflective soft ones thay get flattened by a car the moment they’re put up

idk they just look like hands to me

Oh, absolutely. I would even say that description of their attitude towards workers rights is an understatement. I’m just talking about their lofty goals for the project and how even with the best engineers and best workforce in the world their stated timelines are physically impossible

You’d think. If I was the one paying for it, I would be changing providers but you know how that goes. I just work here, man.

Yep, haven’t had to work since I got my covid stimulus. Been on vacation ever since.

The automated voicemail transcriptions my work uses (medical office) recently switched to AI. In some cases it works really well, but if there are long periods of silence it will start to make things up. I’ve ended up with some pretty loopy messages when someone leaves voicemail with long silence at the end.

It’s almost like they set a bunch of absurdly unrealistic deadlines and now cannot figure out how to meet them

Thanks for letting me know I have new Neal Stephenson to read!
