I think 50% of bjj is just... washing things.
If I earned a nickel every time Spotify did something shitty, I’d finally be making real streaming money.
Just don't put the little restrictor in the water feed line.
OK, can confirm. It definitely was a very nice bike commute.
On days like today I pretend I'm a Harvard Professor in the 60's and my primary concern is finding a cozy spot to set up and grade papers.
Huel is different from other meal replacements in that it is pea-based, instead of soy-based. It is different from soylent in that the powered form is available and soylent hasn't for the past year. I find it kind of clumpy, but we don't drink this because it is enjoyable.
"Will you take off $50?"
"Sure."
"OK, just checking. Bye!"
I want a channel. like this for synth restoration.
Maybe you're thinking of Poe?
I loved that location and E.U. Wurlitzer had the strongest synth selection of the stores in the area (La Salle (early 90s) and Daddy's). You could also hit five record stores in the surrounding area on foot.
I asked AI why my electric bill was going up, and apparently there are a lot of factors. It could be seasonal changes to vampire loads in my house. Anything, really. Difficult to pin down to any specific thing. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

They believe that what we call AI is AI. It's not.

They also believe AI will lead to AGI or super intelligence. It won't.

I don't understand why AI people keep insisting, "if we can't steal your work, our industry will die" as if this were a compelling argument.

It reveals the very rotten core of your soul if you don't understand how foolish this makes you look.
Well, that's the way *I* pronounced it.
Remember when the RIAA forced the industry to adopt SCMS copy protection on the digital I/O of DAT machines because they were absolutely terrified someone might make a digital copy of a CD? Do you remember when everyone was trading DAT tapes of pirated music? Yeah, me neither.
John Carpender claimed it was always envisioned as an anthology. Halloween II was reluctantly made as a sequel because of studio pressure. Halloween III bombed.
We're still using the same zojirushi for more than 25 years. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Did you know you can make steel cut oats in your rice cooker using porridge mode?

Did you also know you can substitute water for apple cider?
