I’d say I go to see a movie in an actual movie theater once a year, but the truth is I probably go half as often as that.
It isn’t that I am not interested in movies, I just don’t see the value. I am supposed to pay for a ticket, concessions, and whatever goes into travel to the theater to watch a movie with a bunch of (probably annoying) strangers in a fairly gross environment?
My guess is my annual box office contribution is approximately 0.5x the current ticket price.
If, however, there was a $20/month subscription service which would let me watch new releases at home, I would subscribe.
Even if it was relegated to expensive hardware, like an Apple Vision Pro, I would very likely buy the device and sign up for the subscription.
$240/year would be a hell of a lot more revenue than my current $5.50/year—regardless of whether or not it would be exclusive to certain hardware or platforms.
Honestly, my current TV and sound system may not be as impressive as a theater, but they are good and I’d take that experience over the modified bus depot experience of a public movie theater.
That trackpad and palm rest is looking like Gizmo Duck
I’m no fan of google, but I don’t see how it could be expected to act as the insurer for people who have fallen victim to social-engineering gift card scams.
It would be a pretty crazy precedent if the judge ruled differently.
I hope this frees up time to invest more time in a passion project for himself. I want nothing but contentment for that guy.

Working from the definition of sociopathy, I think you could substitute “AI” in a few spots and end up with a nearly equally-accurate definition of AI:
A sociopath is someone with antisocial personality disorder (ASPD), a mental health condition that involves a lack of regard for others’ feelings and rights. People with ASPD may: Lack empathy and remorse Manipulate others for personal gain Behave impulsively or aggressively Break rules or laws Feel little guilt for harming others Seem charming at first Have difficulty understanding others’ feelings
Sooooo…the next update to AI is sociopathy:
Because AIs don’t share common human values like fairness or justice — they’re just focused on the goal they’re given — they might go about achieving their goal in a way humans would find horrifying.
This isn’t a big deal.
If you’re developing in Xcode, you did not buy an 8GB Mac in the last 10-years.
If you are just using your Mac for Facebook and email, I don’t think you know what RAM is.
If you know what RAM is, and you bought an 8GB Mac in the last 10-years, then you are likely self-aware of your limited demands and/or made an informed compromise.
Convicted felon Donald Trump’s spiritual advisor resigns after admitting he sexually assaulted a 12-year-old child.
Minor edit.
Oh yeah, the Abrahamic ones…
Look up the actual commandments from Christian mythology—it is weird as shit.
First, it makes the Christian god come across as super-insecure.
Then, it just lists extra-obvious shit—like, “Wow, I am so relieved the magic man in the sky told me not to murder or steal, because otherwise I would be totally murdering, and stealing, and probably coveting the absolute fuck out of my neighbor’s donkey right now”.
Why in the fuck does anybody believe this has a place in a public school?
Also, does Louisiana “actually” believe their government and system of laws is based in the Bible’s 10 commandments? It isn’t possible that the basic “don’t murder and don’t steal” shit is just universal? As far as Louisiana knows, non-Abrahamic societies are just totes chilly-willy with living “The Purge” every single day?
And somehow posters will answer this question nobody asked? Cool.
After watching the video clip, I’d say that’s about the highest degree of self-awareness I’ve ever seen from Trump.
I don’t disagree that 8GB is generally less than I would accept for normal usage, but the way this article is written you can tell the author really doesn’t have any reasonable grasp of memory management.
Oh yeah, isn’t there an Adderall shortage right now?
The dude probably just isn’t cranked up on his normal level of amphetamines.
I bet he keeps falling asleep, gets even fatter, and is even less capable of following his own thoughts as the Adderall drought continues.
What a great time for him to be on criminal trial…
The last two dem>gop Presidential transitions followed a similar template.
When Clinton handed off to Bush, he warned of Osama Bin Laden as priority #1–the Bush whitehouse welcomed the idea as a pretense to invade Iraq, so nothing was done and the attacks happened.
When Obama handed off to Trump, he warned of pandemic threat and the response team which was put together to mitigate a pandemic’s spread before reaching US shores—the Trump Whitehouse did less than nothing, they actually shut down the response team and welcomed the pandemic to come (likely at Putin’s direction, I can’t imagine Trump being so selectively focused on budgeting, unless directed by his boss).
His most damning action leading to Covid deaths happened about 18-months before the virus really hit.

Refill with an adapter from a larger propane tank.
The refilled tanks can’t hold as much, but it works.
They can hold a bit more if you toss them in the freezer for a while before attempting to refill.
