Don't need to test your limits when the limits are Very Obviously Right Here.

If I went on a long hike in Weather and there's a cabin then I will live in the cabin until Weather stops. What do you mean "next stage of the hike." This was it.

Some colds are just little sniffles and then others just clothesline you. I guess it's that pressure to go to work no matter what (and whenever people stopped running to the countryside for plague season)

*gentle newspaper smack* Same but there are worse things in life. Some licenses are renewed annually too, it depends on the system

Hell yes. I love all the knobs and dials in my car. I want to feel like I'm in a Star Wars space pod

Dude I went into a local print company. They had multiple giant high end printers to print at billboard sizes...and an ancient CRT monitor. It was beautiful.

Sucker's lasted me long enough that I actually paid a local shop to repair the screen (which I promptly dropped and cracked again).

Imagine what they think of folks who buy *used*.
It's seriously cheaper if you can afford to pay for it outright. Also I wanted a particular model that had way better battery life than the latest version...5 years ago now?

And the ones that have been are mostly empty. I'm more worried about construction companies having to fold than the tech, that would actually affect things like home repair and infrastructure if we lose them.

Noticed that too!

Haven't found sales yet. I am seeing people reference this paywalled WSJ article. A company called Notion saw a their profit margin drop by 10% because of the additional ai costs. Doing the exact same thing they were doing before, but making less money on the service.

Cutting-Edge AI Was Supposed to Get Cheaper. It’s More Expensive Than Ever.
With models ‘thinking’ more than ever, the small companies that buy AI from the giants to create apps and services are feeling the pinch.

Cheerleading a billionaire isn't the worst posting fixation someone could have, all things considered. :/
Sometimes all you can do is block and hope they stay away from crypto and creeps.
(Or suggest tax-funded support services like mental health/loneliness phone lines.)
