Analytical chemist.

Educated in Marine biology, started work on the dock that developed my ability to handle bizarre hours and self motivation, used the bizarre hours to get a harvest gig in wine making cellar work where I learned to grind, used my grind and bizarre hours to do some commercial electrical installation, then did some electric meter reading where I learned the importance of attention to detail, used all of the above skills to become a winery lab technician where I got experience working with high functioning lab equipment, wanted to get away from wine so now I’m a chemist.

Life is good. I’ve been more underpaid at every step of the way, but I feel that’s allowed me to function with less stress at every step of the path.

What wouldn’t be?

Something as simple as flipping on a device with a light switch would seen like witchcraft.

Want to know what time it is in the dark of the morning? reliable time keeping might be possible in a house, but certainly not in a bedroom, and certainly not millisecond-accurate or observable in the dark.

I think the only thing they wouldn’t be impressed with is alcohol consumption, but even then we have a variety, production scale and safety level they couldn’t fathom.

And the capitalist overlords will readily trot out these points and claim we live like nobility from the 1600s while sapping us of our every free moment and waking thought. Forgive my turning this political

I’m crying, and I’m not ashamed of it.

I have a para-social relationship with an Internet cartoonist and his life partner, that part I’m kinda ashamed of, but the tears are genuine happiness, and have I really been following him for over 15 years? There’s some sadness in those tears, but they’re covered by the happy ones

Thanks!

I think that’s only as correct as you narrow your lense to make it.

Children incur many more expenses.

Adding an adult only increases the total 60$, adding children increases it 190$, obviously children are more expensive.

Maybe it’s a lesser known cover/lift of an 80s song?

Sinead O’Connor Nothing compares to you?

The Louvre is in Paris, not London.

Paris is in France, not great Britain.

Dan Brown is American not British.

Children’s nursery rhymes shouldn’t be the foundation of geographic knowledge of someone in their 30s.

Didn’t they hear, maga is make Argentina great again…

I stopped building my own PCs over a decade ago because I was barely getting the parts at the same rate they would’ve come in a pre-built, ram was always hard to get, good deals “sold out” so quickly, and if a part goes bad it’s easier to take it to a warranty repair than it is for me to fight with the vendors myself.

My main machines recently have been low power laptops, my steam deck, and my phone, using GeForce now has allowed me to play most of my games on shit hardware, and my 10 year old games run just fine (mostly) on my 5 year old laptop.

As someone who hasn’t had a desktop in over a decade, this is looking pretty appealing to me.

Add another year.

Any educated guesses, or layman guesses, about the price?

My layman guess is 600-800, the low price being same price as the top end steam deck on release

The VR headset is going to be standalone??

That’s pretty nuts right?

Never bought into it, would never say I liked it, I’m not adverse to it, or at least I wasn’t until the USA government decided it had to be integrated into all policy making decisions.

Also I don’t feel we’ve reached the level of “intelligence” , there’s a lot of tricks that it can do, and it has vast databases to pull from, but it’s not hitting me as intelligent, and the more I read of it’s discoveries" the more convinced I am of my idea. The people using it are intelligent, and are coming up with neat ideas using it as a tool, but the models itself aren’t coming up with anything without human coaxing.

I’ve heard it’s much better to use ai as an editor regarding things you already know, than it is to trust ai to fill in the gaps of your knowledge.

Then in walked the monkey with a couple funky friends?

That’s not how the bar works.

Although it might be in the future if some states (California) can’t get their bar finances together.

QTE, especially when they’re randomly inserted into an otherwise action/skill based game.

That too. But current events aren’t getting the magtards riled up like the rumored events that were taking place under Mr tan suit Dijon terrorist.

They were building camps on land stolen from the states with the backing of large corporations…
