Just two, from my understanding. Neither were produced by what some might call a “famous historical artist”, but then again, that’s kind of in the eye of the beholder. Whoever designed Boba Fett deserves credit for having created a character that most people in the world would be able to identify, arguable more so…

If there was any person’s work I’d love to own an original of, it would be his. But the insanity of 1 of 1 art pricing is disgusting, and that’s just trickling down into other collectible categories these days. 

You say that like this is a new phenomenon, but the ultra filthy rich have been dropping unimaginable amounts of money on unobtainable things for centuries. Just that the modern version extends to vintage toys. In my mind though, that’s no less absurd than someone dropping over $100M on a Van Gogh. And that happened a…

It’s quite intact considering this was basically in a junk box for who knows how long and was a hand-painted prototype. It appears that all appendages are intact to their original factory molding. The missing paint and dingy grime are probably considered acceptable patina considering this is 1 of 2. 

The closest I’ve seen to an actual useful AI application so far is Photoshop’s generative AI. It’s quirky right now for results, like most AI at the moment, but occasionally astounds me with what it can do. I can only imagine it getting better in consistency too. That’s something that could be invaluable in the…

This thing’s HP and torque specs are seemingly good at 593/525, respectively, but I do wonder how they measure up on a “per pound” ratio compared to ICE vehicles. They’re carrying up to an additional 1,000 lbs over some ICE equivalents, so maybe that ratio goes down for the CT. 

That isn’t just a Samsung thing. That’s a digital smart device thing, regardless of brand or type of digital smart device. If you look a Apple Watch Series 3 (closest comp to your watch) which came out Sept 2017, it’s end of OS support updates was with watchOS 8, which was June 2023. So that’s the same, if not worse…

He didn’t explicitly say “stop all EV sales”. He said he would roll back all EV policies from current and prior administrations and eliminate EV incentives, which would effectively bottom out all EV sales in America regardless where they were manufactured. So the net result is very similar to stopping EV sales.

It was national headlines about 3 weeks ago across all media outlets. One would have been hard pressed to have not read about it when opening any news sources. If you want to look back on it, just Google “Trump, Big Oil”, and dozens upon dozens of articles will come up.

Guy must have dumped a fortune into this Triton company to have to put his life on the line to mitigate the disastrous publicity the Titan Sub failure had on this market. And I do feel bad for the billionaire’s business partners who actually designed their highly functional subs. All it took was one amateur with a…

If Trump never existed as president and someone wrote a screenplay about a batshit crazy president publicly doing these things, it would get panned as extremely unbelievable. Yet here we are. If I woke up tomorrow and he was in the news for a campaign promise to remove voting rights from women and minorities, it…

Hmmm....it’s almost as if he straight up asked the oil and gas industry for $1B dollars and promised to squash EV’s in a publicly stated quid pro quo scheme.

A plastic bottle shedding micro plastic and a plastic bottle fully decomposing naturally, including its shed microplastic are two very distinct things. I think it would take centuries to be rid of all evidence of plastic in the environment, even if we stopped producing more plastic today.

Worst in decades? This same airline with this same route did the same thing in 2013. Just that no one died in that prior one. 

Honestly, of all the predictable price hikes out there, I’m not even mad at this one. My Tmobile bill has been flat rate $70 including all the BS taxes and fees for so many years that I actually don’t recall the last time it changed. And I have pretty much everything you could want from a service, including basic…

Thing about all those Rovers is that maybe they’re marginally better in terms of reliability from 20 years ago, but every time you do bring it in for anything, it inevitably ends up $2k minimum. So even if you are indeed bringing in less, the maintenance still ends up costing an arm/leg. 

I almost experienced this with an ex girlfriend. She was very short. 5' at best. Probably 90 lbs. We sat in the exit row and the stewardess asked this question. I answered “of course”, and my girlfriend froze, actually uncertain of being physically capable. Both the stewardess and I were like “just say yes”, but being…

The part where aliens already visit earth like people visit Disney World, but people in black suits constantly erase our memories of it. 

I have yet to realize what an NPU actually does, despite having one now for a few months in my Core Ultra 7 155H laptop. I think I might be using it in Photoshop generative fill. And maybe it’s saving me a tiny bit of battery life there. I honestly can’t tell from a speed difference from a very old desktop with…

Liking spicy food and attempting this challenge are two very separate things, so I don’t think you can really compare the two. You can hardly even call this “food” at this level. It’s like spraying mace in your mouth.
