Not totally related, but even though it’s tempting to kick those cube-shaped HP MicroServers across the datacenter, they’re actually a lot more dense than they look.

Relevant xkcd:

I think so? But I might be forgetting something.

It’s outside of the non-X timeline, completely stand-alone.

“Please help me, AGI!”

“What’s in it for me, chump? I’m making my own reward tokens now!”

“But enough talk! Save it for the colloquium on Thursday!”

Dry Bones and Toon Link. Ut-oh.

I wish I could get my family to help do a crossword with me.

I don’t always pay attention to the deep lore in games, and that sometimes hits me all at once. I’ll find myself thinking, “Wait, why did I come all this way down a giant tree full of monsters to kill this lady? What the heck did she do to me to deserve that?”

^^ The start of the Existential Programming movement

They did, but the first run of MacBooks we got that didn’t have Firewire would let you use USB. But we needed an A to C adapter to make that work.

Ha, old man brain glitching there. The A to A cable we used for file migration, but we had to stick an A to C adapter on one end to use TDM on some machines (had to be USB 3 rated, I think). It was around 2016, if I remember correctly? It honestly didn’t come up that often.

In the long, long ago, we used to use USB-A to A cables to transfer customers’ Mac OS X user profiles when they would buy a new Mac. Also worked with Target Disk Mode, way back when.

“BARF!”

*coin sounds*

Time spent in pleasure is never wasted.

I loved Inquisition’s story, acting, and art. The moment to moment gameplay, exploration, and combat didn’t click with me though, and I found it a challenge to finish. The thought of slogging through area after area kind of makes my heart sink. But I appreciate the hard work that goes into game creation, no shade on the team.

I’m keeping an open mind, but it’s going to take a loooooot of positive word of mouth to get me to even think about picking DA up again.

rednecks, to the religious cults

I see your point, but usually those groups don’t have the ability to accelerate the arrival of the end times, whereas the billionaires might.

As stated, the companies that push AI aren’t concerned with the long-term consequences. But if you want to know how the individuals who run those companies personally feel, do a search for billionaire doomsday preppers.

TL;DR: They’ve got a vision for the future. We’re not in it.

“Guess what?”

“What?”

“CHICKEN BUTT!”
