will have to carry out the functions of a town administrator — most prominently handling payroll for all town employees, including police, firefighters and teachers — without spending any money to do so. Not on checks, not on postage, not on office supplies

Love to see how they figure that out.

For me, I’d stay somewhere in my mid-30s. Not too young looking, but still able to do things. I’m currently in my mid-40s

Ironically, we do have a common enemy: The billionaires. Problem is the enemy has managed to brainwash almost half the populace into fighting for them.

That’s interesting, I live in a city and I have them open probably 80% of the times. It’s just something that I’ve learned comes with city living. You’re gonna see people and they’re gonna see you.

Oddly, 40s

That’s where I’m having trouble justifying it. I don’t really care for or do any handheld gaming, and if I was gonna leave it docked, why not just use my PC? If I want it on my TV I still have a Steam Link too. Glad to see it’s being shown as a viable platform, I just haven’t found a use case for it in my world.

I mean technically anyone can call it champagne. I believe the only law is in France itself or possibly the EU. But I’d be curious how enforceable it is outside of gentlemen’s agreements.

That’s the annoying part of this. Prices never creep down the same way they creep up. So things will always be more expensive. The only way it ever corrects is very violently in a massive depression and even that never fully corrects it.

High performance EVs actually have multiple gears due to the sheer amount of power they can lay down. Smaller ones may not need it but you definitely need it with more powerful ones.

I definitely was and it only got better imo. It felt like people got too invested in the “western in the park fantasy” part when really it was telling a larger story between the struggles of man, machine and the meaning of sentience on a global scale.

Westworld. HBO made a series based on the 70s movie and it was amazing. Had a really strong cast too, but then Discovery went on their hatchet spree and killed it.

So damn bummed they didn’t finish that series. One more freaking season was all it had left

We must keep our profit margin so we have chosen to put the burden on you lest our billionaires make a few dollars less.

United States of America. The name wasn’t helping us unfortunately.

Mostly all of those too, except my cars. My cars grab their time info from GPS and update automatically. Have for the past few cars I’ve had, but they’ve all been German.

Had a coworker who kept complaining anytime she’d open any dialog boxes they immediately closed. Turns out she had a binder sitting on the edge of her keyboard right on the escape key.

You may only want to communicate with your family, but does the rest of your family only want that too? Otherwise you’re trying to convince them to now manage two separate services to keep in touch with you and everyone else.

Would it be better served by a chat group on signal or something else instead?

Given that there are already 32TB 2.5” SSDs, what does a 3.5” buy you that you couldn’t get with an adapter?
