Doe-eyed. A doe is a female deer.

I don’t understand the story.

You sure know how to demo to DARPA. They eat that shit up.

Great post.

This inspired me to track down the first video game I ever played. Battlezone. Pure vector graphics. Lots of polygons. Two sticks, and the most satisfying audio. Those machines must’ve made it out to Shithole Countries secondhand after the video game collapse in the US.

I was at one point a known customer at a certain Hertz location and always got stuff like Audi A6 despite reserving a midsize. I generally take care of a rental like it's my own car, just out of instinct I
