gregorum,

oh, great, so it’ll be even harder? fuck you, fire beads!

seriously, though, i’d buy it right now if i could. this game was one of my all-time favorites, and probably my favorite Myst game (i’ve played them all multiple times). But, holy shit, was it hard! possibly the most difficult of them all.

gregorum,

the sheer longevity of some xkcd comic in-jokes is really impressive.

edit: this one is over 15 years old (xkcd 327 - ‘Exploits of a Mom’ - 10/10/2007)

gregorum,

aye, and if my grandmother had wheels, she’d be a wagon!

if the punishment for a crime is a fine, it’s only a crime for the poor.

I’m so glad it was a cat video

gregorum,

by volume, it’s trivial amounts of both, and those unresponsive numbers will often get recycled eventually. people just don’t hold on to phone numbers as long as they used to.

gregorum,

adding that level of verification to phone numbers would be a fair compromise, no? i like the level of anonymity you get with a phone number.

gregorum,

my experience has very much been the opposite, which is also anecdotal-- but i’m going off of what a Verizon rep told me: that people, generally speaking, tend to recycle their numbers much more than they used to.

i don’t have any other data to back that up, i’ll be honest.

gregorum,

like i said, i’m going off what a guy in the Verizon store said, which is one step above pulling it out of my own ass, as far as data veracity goes.

but, if i were to guess, i’d speculate that it had to do with the disposability of numbers, how often people change providers after losing a number due to not having to pay or switching off of a parent’s plan, things like that. People used to go to great lengths to hold onto old numbers. people don’t really care as much now, even when porting them between carriers is easy.

Wait, what? The fuck you can

gregorum,

Now my iPhone, actually transcribes my voicemail live and gives me the opportunity to pick up during them leaving the voicemail. Like old-school answering machines used to do.

Give Ukraine offensive weapons. Unless Moscow is under real threat, they have no reason to ever stop. 

gregorum,

Right, because “The West” is responsible for Russia’s illegal invasion of another sovereign nation, lmao.

Take that crap someplace else.

gregorum,

No, that’s a broken promise. Possibly considered a failure.

Lies are intentional from the start, so it would only be a lie if the promise, itself, was never genuine from the beginning, but that’s not in the parameters of the question.

gregorum,

he would

gregorum,

This post itself provides a new data point as a piece of evidence to support that claim. There is a news article written about it, and we are talking about it.

gregorum,

If it happened in a vacuum, probably not. But traffic jams don’t happen in a vacuum. They ripple out and cause effects that hit millions of other people. Such as this news article, this lemmy post, and all of the people here discussing it.

gregorum,

That’s the point.

Label the articles written with AutoComplete so I know they’re bullshit I should ignore, and if they’re all written with AutoComplete, I now know that you’re an untrustworthy news source. Go cry to your shareholders, you profit-mad assholes.

gregorum,

in fact, much of CarPlay’s functionality becomes locked while the car is in motion, making that a moot point anyway, lol. the only things left to distract or endanger would be the OEM stuff, as you mention.

gregorum,

i don’t use it enough to know, but i think the UI varies a little between vehicles and models, so it may not be in the same spot for everyone-- or even look exactly the same.

as for a Siri command, you may try something like, “Set my notifications to…” or something like that.

gregorum,

no thank you

How will we ever get away from plastics when they are ubiquitous for safety

Plastic seals food, sterile medical implements, medicine, beverages, etc… it’s seems like plastic is used as a way to seal things safely. Post pandemic rising, I see even more. My work used to be have plastic utensils in the cafeteria, for example, an already wasteful thing. Now, post-2020, every fork, knife, and spoon is...

gregorum,

Likewise, we will always have products and processes which have some carbon footprint. The hope is that we have enough others that don’t or are carbon negative that the net effect is one of balance.

Mines been named “WiFiArtThouRomeo” for, like, 20 years. Don’t know if it’s funny, but I think it’s cute.

He really tries, and Tuvok is having none of his shit.

He’s all, “Excuse me, but logic,” and Tuvok is all, “flashlight phaser, bitch!”

I liked it in the beginning, and had a crush on Wolfe edit: Woolvett back in the day. He was a cutie.

Sorbo ruined it.

Shame, that

A vaginal ring that discreetly delivers anti-HIV drugs will reach more women (www.npr.org)

Women in a growing number of African countries will soon have access to a vaginal ring to help reduce their risk of acquiring HIV from an infected partner. And they can use it discreetly, without their partner or anyone else knowing. The ring is inserted and slowly releases the antiretroviral drug dapivirine for a month, when it...
