My wife lost her wedding ring in May. We eventually found it in November. We were pretty actively looking for it for the whole time. Checked all the vents. Moved the over, fridge, dishwasher, bed, washer and drier. You name it, we checked it. Eventually disassembled the sectional couch and found it under one of the sections. Which was weird because there were no gaps that it should have been able to fall through to get under there. Like, you couldn’t slide a penny under the couch.

Keep in mind that’s Income Tax. Most rich people don’t actually have income, they have capital gains.

Is there an app? I use Voyager and Sync for Lemmy.

At this point, I’d also just say Ender 3 printers. You can get them for a hundred bucks now. They’re not as fancy as the newer 3d printers with auto-leveling, remote printing, dual extruders, etc. But they get the job done just fine.

Hitachi Magic Wand?

I do the same thing with my Pixel, but I assume it’s all Android phones. I just hold down the power button on my phone for a second then click Translate. It works pretty well for most of the German memes.

Jian-Yang wants a smart fridge. To make you feel bad. Because you’re fat and you’re poor.

I remember playing Full Throttle as a kid, but never beat it. Kind of tempted to go back through and see if I can figure it out as an adult.

That was my first thought as well! It is a perfect summer game to play over a week or two. Feels like it has a good, tight story.

Lol I am on the opposite side of the spectrum. I’ve unlocked everything possible with medals and am constantly looking for them to add new content for me to spend them on.

That’s so satisfying to watch individual pieces of art grow

I’ll grow out a moustache for Christmas

Lol why? Is that some tradition I’ve been missing out on?

Ah I remember that video. It was a good one

Q3 2026 will come around and the AI will report that revenues are down. The CEO will respond the only way they know, by ordering that costs be cut by laying off employees. The AI will report there is no one left to lay off but the CEO.

Fade to black and credits roll.

I hate this so much. I had to call a clinic the other day to ask about medical test results. None of the options on the menu were for that. So I clicked 1 for appointments. Then my options were to reschedule an appointment or to cancel an appointment. No option to go back. I clicked 0 and it hung up on me. Called back, clicked schedule an appointment and it told me to hang up and go online. Fuck me.

Do people actually form any sort of relationships in Twitch chat? For a decent size streamer, chat moves so fast that I can’t imagine anyone ever recognizing anyone.

Maybe for a super small streamer.

Unfortunately, I think this is the most likely scenario. Going from our modern technology levels, which are more than capable of destroying the world, to Dyson spheres is a huge leap that will take who knows how long (decades? centuries? millennia?).

Before that happens, we have to live together on a planet without blowing ourselves up or making the planet uninhabitable. As technology continues to advance, walking that knife edge of survival seems more and more difficult. The pessimist inside of me says that no civilization has been able to accomplish it.

Yeah, it seems very possible that at one point, civilization will turn inward instead of outward. Why go through the time and effort to colonize the stars when you can just create a cyber-utopia? If you’re advanced enough, you could make it feel like an eternity while almost no time passes on the outside.

Sure, your planet might get destroyed by a cataclysmic event in the far future, but if you can make that feel like billions or trillions of years, who really cares?
