Kaiju No 9 was pretty good. I know it’s a kaiju not a mecha, but it’s pretty similar in execution

I have a nice display cabinet for all my pretty rocks. Got them really cheap at an epic hippie crystal joint. The store was full of stones. They’re not “jewellery grade”, but they still look great and people ask about them. Fuck yeah I love rocks.

I’m probably committing some spiritual crime by putting the citrine next to my amethyst and emerald. I didn’t memorise the instruction manual though.

Euro truck simulator is the closest game I’ve played in that genre. Sometimes I just want to do something with my hands and turn my brain off for a while, and playing a “boring” game is pretty good for that. Think of it like watching re-runs of familiar shows. Sometimes I play House Flipper as well, literally just painting walls and mowing the lawn lol

It’s fucking gross.

I always wipe down every seat with enough toilet paper I feel like I’m not going to directly touch any pee. It’s just an ingrained habit from decades of living with people who like their toilet seats cold, moist, and yellow.

Yes, this is normal in China; it’s only a problem for tourists at the start. Not saying it’s a good system, just that this is how it’s done over there. “When in Rome” and all that. For example, there’s toilets you can only access by using the WeChat app, and if you make a mess, they can track you down and fine you. It’s more like “your entire digital existence” rather than"just an app."

When I visited Japan, I thought it was cool that you could buy food, drink, and pretty much anything with your train card. The down side is that I now have a bunch of money permanently trapped in that card lol

I disagree; your view sucks

Just as an anecdote, I wrote professional medical software that people purchased. At one point there was a browser API change that would negatively affect customers in a critical workflow, I forget the specifics. I think it had something to do with file uploads. Anyway, I worked around this by creating a small browser extension that people could install that would restore previous functionality.

Less than 0.01% of customers installed it. Maybe 10 people. Not even the loudest complainers installed it. It was a massive waste of time.

In the post mortum, we discovered that it’s a complicated and strange process for average people to install an extension at all. They have no experience with it, and they don’t know how to do it, and they didn’t want to do it. It’s not like installing an app, which is a more familiar process.

The only analogue I can think of in a similar situation is something like Steam Inventory Helper which is widely used with over a million users. But the demographic is vastly different, these people are PC gamers and used to modding files and such.

So really it depends on your demographic, and whether you truly need it. Just realise it will be a great filter.

I watched the first episode and dropped it personally. I agree that it felt like the plot was very contrived, which maybe some people will like that, but I felt like it would just be constantly annoying me. Plus I don’t like stories where people are forced into relationships they don’t want to be in

I think it would help you if you narrowed down exactly what you’re looking for.

It sounds like it has to be a shooter game, so economy teamwork like EVE Online or Eco is out.

It has to be online matchmaking with mostly strangers, so with known friends cooperative games like Valheim and Palworld are out.

Etc…

Once you have a list of requirements, it’s easier to create a series of filters on Steam or something to find the exact game you’re looking for. You might only find the one you already like though lol

$10 an hour still seems really good though right? I’m not sure how much Airlines pay currently for fuel though.

Only article I could find was this: https://flyinginsight.com/2026/02/14/how-much-does-it-cost-to-fuel-an-airplane/

On average, a 737 or A320 consumes between 2,500 and 3,000 litres of fuel per hour

Take a typical two-hour flight, such as Amsterdam to Barcelona. The total fuel burn would be approximately 5,500 litres. At a reference price of $0.59 per litre, that translates to around $3,200 in fuel costs.

So that’s $10 an hour down from $1600 an hour? Seems decent.

The irony is I have no idea what you mean by this message lol. Who’s communicating indirectly and how? The post seemed pretty straightforward to me

I just microwave it and love it lol

Yeah sometimes people give me chicken noodle soup or something and I’m like, noodles are carbs… many people I’ve spoken to don’t actually know what carbs are, apparently. Or they’ve just never considered that sugar in the chicken roast marinade is still sugar

I think you’re mixing up who’s morally at fault and who’s legally responsible. They can be and often are completely separate things. You can do nothing wrong and still be legally responsible, or you can knowingly commit evil and get away with it.

That’s what I’m trying to say here, that it’s not really the operator’s “fault” if an A.I. goes off and does a crime they didn’t ask for. It’s also not really the developer’s “fault” if an A.I. they have no real control over malfunctions. But someone will probably end up legally responsible regardless. The question of who is a tough one since there’s no obvious wrongdoer to point a finger at.

What is the statistical likelihood of an individual possessing access to a thesaurus inadvertently precipitating the activation of the artificial-intelligence revelation watermark?

It’s not like it’s a secret invisible Unicode character flag or something, it’s just a series of word choices. To me, this seems extremely unreliable. It’s only one step removed from those “unreliable A.I. detection tools” that scan for common word choices A.I. uses. You’ve just biased your own A.I. to use specific word choices and then told your own A.I. to check for those words. This doesn’t seem special or interesting to me. There’s still going to be false positives, but now with even more false confidence.

I’ve met some people who actually believe that the technology itself is inherently evil lol

I dunno if this counts, but I have a lot of medical problems, that react badly to food. Stuff like prediabetes, fat malabsorption, salt sensitivity, carb sensitivity, actual allergies, etc, the list goes on. I genuinely cannot remember all the specific rules on what I’m allowed to eat, I have to consult a spreadsheet on my phone. Even then, sometimes I make a mistake and eat something I shouldn’t because it has this one ingredient I didn’t consider.

Basically, if I eat anything, there’s a pretty good chance it will fuck me up and I’ll have a really bad time. So I just don’t eat anything new and stick to trusted foods only. It’s terrifying to try new things when it often ends badly, and for what? Just a bit of fun? No thanks, hospital retroactively cancels out any fun.

Well, I think that someone should sit down and make some actual rules. As an example, “A.I. agents cannot have access to the public internet” is an simple one to implement, and easy to make decisions of who is at fault. I’m not claiming that’s the rule we should use, but we need something at least.

Currently there is no such rule, so it’s impossible to determine who is at fault, and it’s basically the wild west with companies “hacking” each other as marketing stunts.

Yeah, just looking at the synopsis I think I’ll give this one a miss lol
