Hell yes brother! Same. It’s always nice when I’m on the bus or an airplane and I can just break out wired headphones. No worries about charging them, they just work!

I see someone else read this NY Times article today. Wild read, I was trying to get things done around the house and it sucked me in.

Edit: OP posted the article in another community, can’t believe I missed it. https://kbin.melroy.org/m/news@lemmy.world/t/411895

Mods, I appreciate this bot!

Deciphering media bias is tough, and finding 1 site that will ‘perfectly’ identify biases is an impossible task, but at the minimum having this bot show up on posts ‘gets people thinking’ about the credibility of their news sources.

MBFC doesn’t have to be the ultimate arbitrator either. If it is missing something about a specific article people can call it out in the comments. At the end of the day, the worst thing it does is add more data about a news source and I’m not gonna complain about that.

If you’re retired and in Florida there’s a whole competitive scene! My buddy’s parents got us into the game 2 years ago before they moved to the villages. They came back to visit a few months ago and I was VERY humbled .

Maybe that’s why it’s cheap to get tennis lessons now.

Just gotta hope they aren’t stealing your tennis court to play pickleball! Lol

TL;DR: it felt like there was no ‘casual’ mode

I would run into an issue where I would use 1 meta load out and would hold around a 1.0 k/d, but if I ever wanted to experiment and try some other guns or unlock some new attachments I would get absolutely shredded. I would do this for a few matches, unlock whatever I was trying to unlock, and then switch back to my most efficient load out and absolutely shred the lobby I was playing in for a few games until I averaged back to a 1.0 k/d.

I felt like the only multiplayer option was ‘competitive’ and I couldn’t really experiment with things without getting my shit pushed in.

For an IRL comparison: I play pickleball from time to time and if I casually play someone at or slightly below my skill level I can experiment a little (try landing shots in different places, work on forehand vs. backhand, etc.), but if I play in a competitive tournament and go up against a pro they will absolutely kick my ass in record time (and that’s okay lol).

It is actually getting better, it just takes time.

In fact, according to the above Wikipedia article it was in a great spot in 2019 and then a volcano erupted:

In 2019, the ozone hole was at its smallest in the previous thirty years, due to the warmer polar stratosphere weakening the polar vortex. In September 2023, the Antarctic ozone hole was one of the largest on record, at 26 million square kilometers. The anomalously large ozone loss may have been a result of the 2022 Tonga volcanic eruption.

Apparently, a volcano eruption. The last paragraph of this section states:

In September 2023, the Antarctic ozone hole was one of the largest on record, at 26 million square kilometers. The anomalously large ozone loss may have been a result of the Hunga Tonga–Hunga Haʻapai eruption.

Currently it cannot. It does let you select which applications it records from though (ex: I have it set to record my game audio, discord, and my microphone, but not Spotify).

Went for 2 weeks in March, can 2nd this.

Not having soap drove me nuts! There was like 4-5 bathrooms I used that didn’t have it.

…is this a canary in the coalmine joke?

…is this not just a muffler/silencer for leaf blowers? Good on these kids! This definitely falls under the ‘why didn’t I think of that!’ category for me.

They could make more specialized robots, but I imagine the selling point is the versatility. A specialized robot can make food at a fast food restaurant, but can it also deliver food to customers, mop floors, and clean bathrooms? Adding a specialized robot to a kitchen or a factory floor may require you to completely re-design how the floor/room is set up, but adding a humanoid shaped robot would not require any extra setup (well, besides teaching it/programming it).

Spot has been used as a security guard/ inspector at some sites. Going up stairs/ladders would be extremely difficult for something on wheels/treads, but for a robot that works like a human it could be easy.

Radar Intercept Officer

The guy who sits in the back seat of the F14 and operates the radio and radar.

I’d say this is less on the ability of Russian assassin’s and more on this guy for reaching out to his girlfriend back in Russia.

In Spain, Mr. Kuzminov lived “an indiscreet life,” the senior Guardia Civil official said. He went to bars popular with Russian and Ukrainian clientele, burning through the money he had received from the Ukrainian state. He drove around Villajoyosa in a black Mercedes S-Class.

Exactly how the killers found him has not been established, though two senior Ukrainian officials said he had reached out to a former girlfriend, still in Russia, and invited her to come see him in Spain.

“This was a grave mistake,” one of the officials said.

Also wanted to drop a comment that this is awesome and a fantastic use of AI!

Huh, looks like it’s up to 4.

Just like Pal Battalions, we didn’t realize how bad of an idea this was until after WW1
