I just felt like the show lost its way a little. Like it doesn’t seem to understand the doctor anymore.
I think Capaldi is a fantastic actor and I love the idea of returning to an older doctor, but I recall an early episode when he duels a swordfighter with a spoon and it made me think of that old Reddit copypasta from the weird girl.
Then the sonic sunglasses?
I just.
I don’t know. It just wasn’t for me.
Not to sound like a curmudgeon, but you’re not missing much.
Moon Reader+ is probably the only thing I still miss from Android.
It requires no restraint if you’re not a monster.
Vice President is the surest path to President in US politics.
Can and absolutely do. Pet is my standard security question and it’s just a standardized password I use only on that field.
What an insanely powerful piece and a masterful use of black and white.
I’m honestly not sure what the authorial perspective of the crusades was. In the late 1800’s, it probably wasn’t safe to be openly critical, but this feels very critical.
The soldiers seem almost skeletal. There’s a ghoulish tone to everyone except the angel, who seems to be undeniably leading this army of the damned.
Really interesting image.
I wonder how bad their financials are if the CEO is publicly speaking out about this problem.
Chipotle used to be my favorite restaurant, but the last time I ate there was probably 2019. It just stopped being worth the effort of trying to get a full bowl.
Oh, yeah, no world in which I’m paying $4k for being wrong. Good on the other guy for taking your twenty. Good luck and I’ll be watching with interest.
Would that be $2 from me if I lose?
It’s my understanding that, with LLMs, being polite can net better results because they’re trained off human interactions where being polite is better.
It’s not that they care at all, it’s just how language works.
I’ve not seen a study of the phenomenon or even tested it myself, but it seems plausible.
Anecdotaly, if ever a bat gets into your home and is flying around unable to escape, the easiest way to relocate it safely is to slap it out of the air with a bath towel whip.
In college, my best friend did this to a bat on his first try and it became the stuff of legend. Years later, stay at a hostel with some friends, a bat got into our room and I remembered the towel trick. First try! It was surprisingly intuitive.
I carried the bat (after getting gloves) outside where it lept from my hands and flew to safety.
The more you know!
“Hence the phrase, ‘Greedy as a pig.’”
Yeah, I got tired of being the product. It used to be Google phones were significantly cheaper, that’s just not nearly as much a thing anymore.
Then you have to take the additional steps of finding privacy focused roms etc… It just wasn’t worth the savings to me. There’s things about Android I miss, but the fact that my phone is good for years and years is such a game changer.
I have been gradually transitioning over to proton for additional privacy and I’ve basically completely divorced myself from Google at this point.
Sleeping with the nanny less than half your age isn’t a great start for a discussion of power dynamics in a sexual relationship.
I’m not going to assume anything either way, bo the women deserve to be heard, at the very least.
Historian Sean Munger’s excellent 2-part series on the JFK assassination interestingly titled: Oswald Acted Alone.
Serious answer:
I can’t speak for anyone else, but I believe in a religion because I’ve found it to be personally beneficial.
I was a pastor for many years and saw much of the best and worst religion had to offer. I haven’t stepped foot inside a church since COVID broke out and don’t know that I ever will again.
My personal beliefs are still a significant part of my life, but I understand why someone would ask the question that spawned this discussion.
VR is neat, but it’s mostly been a solution in search of a problem.
Neat, but I’d rather see this money go to improve social safety nets and public services.
I’m surprised you’ve made it this long without hearing about the sonic sunglasses.
Spoilers in that link, of course.
