For $300 Alexa should lift the weights for me, too. Just automate my whole fitness routine so I can focus my attention on more important things, like Elden Ring.

I’m a very calm and rational driver, totally immune to road rage. In fact, if I lay on my horn and scream curses out the window while making obscene gestures with my gun, it’s almost definitely probably because you were the asshole. Not me. Definitely not me.

The opposite. I’m saying it’s cheaper (according to Tesla now) than the average new car sold today, and that’s maybe its best feature, so I don’t get the appeal of premium-izing it and trying to turn it into an overpriced Apple clone.

Ah, gotcha. Yeah down here it’s one of the cheaper fully-kitted trucks you can buy, and also it’s electric and stuff. I wonder if the price difference is because zero manufacturing happens in Canada, so they’re eating some big tariff? I know my Dodge was mostly built north of the border. 

So I’ve been crunching numbers. Arbor Day says each tree consumes roughly 48 pounds of CO2 annually. https://www.usda.gov/media/blog/2015/03/17/power-one-tree-very-air-we-breathe#:~:text=According%20to%20the%20Arbor%20Day,and%20release%20oxygen%20in%20exchange.

I guess maybe I’m reading it wrong but “I think Tesla should try to be the most expensive version of itself like Apple is” just struck me as a weird take. I could just be reading like an idiot though. That happens.

Counterpoint: I can afford a cybertruck. If the point is “We’re all going to die unless we electrify things,” then that seems like a pretty important bit. 

Kinda feels like we all watched Jada put out a hit on live TV, and we’re only punishing the hit man.

>LOTR is great, but

What actually happens here is, people don’t want to “deal with it,” so they don’t hire a disabled person in the first place. Accommodations aren’t made because Bryan Cranston doesn’t need any.

This all sounds like reporting on how bad it would be to employ an actor who was actually disabled. Which is to say.... I don’t like being collateral damage in your hate boner for Jared Leto. 

You know, the message we the audience will presumably send is “Hey, this movie kind of sucks and nobody likes your lead.” But the message execs are going to receive is “We only want the same shiny family-friendly slop from all of our superhero movies, and also, we only want those movies, nothing else, forever, thank…

Every time I accidentally invest mental energy in a Barsanti whingefest, I feel like I should sue for $200 million because that link will be there forever. 

Jiu Jutsu might be the worst movie I’ve ever seen. I love it. 

New Mexico has two that I haven’t seen elsewhere.

Hypoxia does weird shit to human brains. Or just.... well. We could get pretty morbid with what might’ve happened in a cockpit, but best just to wait for an investigation. 

That’s very extremely (and somewhat disappointingly) correct, and I’ve begun absentmindedly noticing that it’s somewhat lately trending on (arguably) questionably-competent sites, such as the one we’re feebly commenting on in the underwhelming present. 

Since it leveled off under 10k briefly my mind goes to some sort of loss of cabin pressure followed by total incapacitation somehow. But one of my instructors used to fly commercial in China and she said that EPs over there typically are handled under autopilot, so incapacitation shouldn’t have mattered..... I dunno.…

Not enough people played the (intensely Japanese-market-oriented) Nioh series to really use it as a point of reference. Nioh was the only souls-like game I played that actually felt like its own pure thing, and I have tons of faith in Ninja as a result. But you can’t talk about Nioh with the average american gamer and…
