I'm going to start talking in vague terms about my own designs for a "Corsi-Rosenthal Box" when I want to sound smart.
It'll be great if anyone bothers to look it up.
It still is, it's a standard for imaging devices.
Oh, thank you. I had forgotten that!
And also a nightmare.
Yes. Now that the memories are coming back, I do notice most of them aren't very nice...
A tricked out tank, covered in specialized launchers.
It's an acronym: T.W.A.I.N. (edit: a backconym, as was pointed out - I've also heard that the weird upper case name came first, and the weirder acronym was added later.)
"Technology without an interesting name."
And... That's all I remember about it, at the moment.
Well, also that it broke often, and threw weird errors like the one pictured.
Or do I just have a really weak electric stove?
I think you might just have a really weak one, or poor compatibility pots? I've had both, and if anything my gas burners feel a little slower and cooler than my induction stove did.
Yes. It is bullshit that a city that size lacks functional transit.
But it is in the middle of nowhere, compared to much of the world, so each person has a compelling reason to own a car, if only to occasionally escape from Columbus, OH.
It can become better, but the challenges are real.
I hate the impacts of cars too, and desperately want better transit options.
But we should maybe put up a sign for stories out of North America:
"North America is really really big. It sucks that it doesn't have better mass transit coverage, but that's still a genuinely hard problem to solve in rural North America."
Most folks in rural North America have stories both of being the rescued and being the rescuer when cars have broken down.
Wow, I totally missed the part where Microsoft had a gun to your head.
Yes. Microsoft is good at hiding that part until it's too late to do much about it.
There’s no industry pressure to be on Gamepass, yet.
Microsoft doesn't willingly lose money on something unless they think they can make it into ~~a market distorting rent extraction hellscape.~~ something very profitable later.
A really high percentage on common hiring practices are completely illegal. Many people who should hire a little bit of legal advice usually don't.
On the scale of such things, this looks pretty chill.
