I can spend far less buying a game on steam for 75% off compared to the old trade in for 25% of the sale price or whatever game shops did back in the day.

Plus it is still there if I ever feel like playing it again with no need to track or store anything on my end.

I’m not trying to start a fight or mud slinging

You have an account 2 years old so either you are trying to start something or a complete moron.

AI is great about putting out something like a human half assing whatever it is doing. Looks ok at a glance but there are problems when you look into the details.

I’m so fucking sick of AI slop.

Poorly executed vehicle efficiency requirements based on vehicle footprint ended up as a pressure for larger vehicles as well, which led to the rise in SUVs and oversized puckups.

It also used to be a reasonable size. Larger than sedans, bit not by nearly as much.

Yeah, hotel ACs are more like standing in front of a window AC unit than central air that goes through the vents.

You are 100% incorrect.

I’m surprised how easy it is to blow through hundreds of dollars in Claude tokens at work. They certainly aren’t subsidizing anything.

That is the subsidized rate!

It costs far more for all the training and compute costs together than what you are currently paying.

“My solution is to throw so many digital monkeys at the problem that they will write the works of Shakespeare.”

Maybe this one?

“Notify me about additions or changes to my games, new releases, and upcoming releases”

I have something running so I can’t restart to test it out and I appreciate you sharing the knowledge!

OP wrote mentally challenged, not mentally ill.

Which setting is it?

I don’t see one that is an obvious match but I’m probably looking for the wrong words.

Bricks?

Complex is the opposite of simple.

Not compared to modern top end hardware, which is how the word is used in this context.

Yes. Some people, including women but more often men, will initiate a conversation in a way that puts the other person on the defense which prompts additional interaction. While saying “I haven’t seen you here before” could be an icebreaker while pushing buttons on an elevator at an apartment building saying it after rushing up and sitting down next to someone who is looking down is basically invading someone’s personal space when they weren’t ready and comes across as pressuring for a reaction.

I had the same thought at first until the last sentence that said how quickly he approached and sat down. If he came in slower, asked to sit next to her, and if she said yes he said the same thing it would be completely different. I’m a dude and I wouldn’t want someone rushing to sit down next to me and start a conversation when I was looking down at something.

The reverse thrusters redirect the air coming out in the opposite direction, so it is like turning the fan in the opposite direction.

A sail catches the air to pull the boat along and some of it bleeds off, but it does not direct any air backwards to propel the ship forward.

Sophisticated is commonly used as a comparison to other sinilar things. So a sophisticated computer in 1980 is different from one in 2026 because technology advanced significantly. A lot of common features on cell phones would have been called sophisticated 20 years ago, but not anymore.

In this case sophisticated is intended to mean relative to other similar devices. Since this is a commodity electronic device you can easily buy for under $13 it doesn’t fit the common usage of ‘sophisticated’ for 2026.

Who is downvoting this obvious and well constructed joke?
