I have a good gaming PC in my living room. Still I find myself on the couch with my steam deck very often.

I agree, I just really want to insert my non-relevant ideas into the discussion

Yeah, but that’s a whole 'nother topic.

I live in a country with proper driving tests, but most drivers (myself included) are still shit at driving. Even professional bus drivers are limited humans.

A car nudging you towards an accident is dangerous, even if it’s not forcing you into an accident.

An unnecessary distraction that needs active attention in a chaotic situation is a bad thing, bad driver or not. And yeah, there are many bad drivers out there. Cars should be designed to be driven by bad drivers, not armchair experts.

The BMW i8 has exactly this, a large subwoofer in the rear to make it sound like a heavy engine, even though it’s electric.

Yes, but not because of the oil. Pipes often clog due to a buildup of soap. Don’t use more soap than you need, which for most people is about 10 times less than what they use now.

That’s not an excuse to just skip all punctuation.

Backing up “word is” by an article that says “word is” is kinda meager though. There are many things widely believed to be true that are not, or only mildly so our in specific circumstances.

If you really believe Google is about to go out of business, you’re out of your mind

That’s how it started, but then they sometimes grew to their own level of features too.

I don’t believe that Age of Empires II needed shooting convertibles for debugging.

Scandinavia is their zone of specialty

The first time I heard this joke I was laughing so hard I almost fell off my dinosaur!

As long as you are someplace and time where they use the Gregorian calendar

Taking out the high-pitch whine will make them much more bearable. It’s a student project, they did well. This isn’t groundbreaking Noble-prize stuff, but it doesn’t deserve all the hate it’s getting here either.

Making that argument completely closes the door for fully autonomous cars though, which is sort of the Holy grail of vehicle automation.

Fully autonomous doesn’t really exist yet, aside from some pilot projects, but give it a decade or two and it will be there. Truly being a passenger in your own vehicle is a huge selling point, you’d be able to do something else while moving, like reading, working or sleeping.

These systems can probably be better drivers than humans, because humans suck at multitasking and staying focused. But they will never be 100% perfect, because the world is sometimes wildly unpredictable and unavoidable accidents are a thing. There will be some interesting questions about liability though.

Why go to an online university if you don’t want an online education? There are plenty of places that have in-person classes, without being elite or elite priced.

I don’t care if it was meant for it, it is the best tool I’ve found so far for what I want to do: put text over an image to create a custom gift certificate.

It works perfectly for what I want to do with it, except it doesn’t understand .webp. It seemed like it is implemented, but didn’t work. It does take .jpg.

I had issues with Libreoffice and Inkscape yesterday. Had to open it in paint.net first, and save it as jpeg.

The risk in 1 & 2 is that monsters become a slog and characters are no longer heroes. If you need to hit a monster 30 times before it dies (because half misses due to AC, and you need a lot of hits due to HP), it’s just slow and boring.

Lair actions and distractions/barricades to get to BBEG are where its at. There’s a trap in the way. New support keeps popping in until something is destroyed. Something changes drastically halfway through the fight.
