He’s the one who has been on a pretty much pathological pursuit to make all of Apple’s product’s as slab-like as physically possible from the beginning.

I had those grain moths once in my baking supplies. I didn’t notice until I saw the maggots crawling around on the CEILING. I threw everything out and bought one of those extendable handles for my mop so I could scrape them off from the living room.

During college I moved into a loft with 4 other guys. Two of them were okay. The first barely existed, and the other attempted to brew mead on the staircase. Good guys. The third broke his leg at some point and decided it was easier to sleep on the sofa and pee in sprite bottles that he kept all over the coffee table…

Her I am thinking that “She was almost definitely on meth” is the best opening line to a story I’ve ever read. All stories should start with that line.

Only on the internet.

The deadline Trump set was July 1, I think. But that was him thinking the Supreme Court would rule in his favor, and wanting the ruling NOW. The Census Bureau has actually said it could hold off on printing until October if it needed to. I wouldn’t put it past him to say, “I never said July!”

Ah, but in a “True” version argument, each side walks in knowing it’s a moot point, because once it’s in the public domain, the only “true version” is the one created originally by the artist. The only “True” Sherlock is the one written by Doyle. In stories that have no real author, like Mulan or Robin Hood, the…

Any business guru will tell you, “Be the best at what you’re good at.”

With zero evidence, I’m going to suggest that these might be “naked” models, before the rendered fur is added.

Here’s how to solve the problem: public domain. Batman? Spider-Man? Luke Skywalker? Chuck them all into the public domain, and make “fan ownership” more than just a useful oxymoron.

It’s an open obsession of Jon Ives to have a screen that completely fills the front of the iPhone and completely eliminate buttons and holes. No one is willing to admit that the basic functionality of a smartphones was essentially perfected by 2012, and ever since then, they haven’t been making them better, just…

Okay.  You’re right.

I use it mostly as a metaphorical device. A 2-D universe obviously can’t exist within a 3-D universe. It would have to operate on a completely different set of physics.

A masterclass in silicon valley’s tendency to take things no one has a problem with*, make it “better,” by creating a problem**, then solving the fake problem by making it “better” again by making it worse again***. Buy all three!

Aliens:

Hear me out: think of the universe as a computer program that describes things happening in real time. If one were to edit the code, the program would change, and when it ran, it would describe different events.

I don’t bother thinking about dimensions higher than 4 unless I’m writing a science fiction story and need to explain something very complicated quickly.

Of course, for that to be true, one would have to accept that time is (except for these hypothetical 4th-dimensional time meddlers) static and unchangeable, that fate and destiny are physical realities, and that free will is an illusion of consciousness.

...But is apparently only fully enjoyable if you are able to spend an additional several hundred dollars.
