Hah, "urban". America just can't help itself.

Sadly the only software that's ever been rated that way is operating systems, whose boot time is the least important of all the softwares.

OMM's Start-to-Crate is a large part of why I think Time-to-Game is a valid game rating system. The time between me clicking on an icon and being in control has genuinely factored into whether I hop into some games or not.

Obligatory: but that's every day on the internet! But yes, all days are terrible now, so I will, thanks.

Generation labels are astrology for opinion writers and marketing, it's all nonsense.

None of us are allowed to die until after we've had the pleasure of seeing It happen, so you'll be fine.

The best ones have the code input in separate input fields so you can't just copy and paste from the email. And for extra credit, make it 6 numbers instead 4 so it's just above what's easily rememberable between alt-tabs.

Things I'd do if I was a billionaire #23595: start a youtube channel that was nothing but me buying and then burning/melting down/otherwise destroying Nazi memorabilia.

Where are you still seeing ads? I think youtuber ad reads are the only places I see them now, and that's only because it's easier to hit L a few times than install SponsorBlock or whatever.

I meant to say, you've got a very niche maths oddity here. Or maybe I've got a good half and a bad half...

Being from Scotland the Alps always annoy me, it's like we gave mountains a good try but then they swan in and effortlessly blow us out of the water. With better public transport too.

Assorted Trump tweets predicting Obama starting a war in Iran.

Has anyone checked if Trump was born in Kenya?

I believe it's pretty well documented that writing things down by hand helps the learning process, so it seems like a win-win. Plus an extra win if it means people growing up with handwriting that doesn't look like a ten year old's.

Doo doo dee doo.

It was interesting, taken in isolation his appearance on the show made him sound like a human being, one you wouldn't push into traffic. Thankfully we know better.

"Accidental" demolitions of protected buildings has been going on ever since they started protecting them. Personally I think the state should then seize the property as proceeds of a crime, but generally little to nothing happens because, y'know, rich landowners.

Oh good.

Sensible centrism: mechanical doorhandle backups, but hidden under trim panels for you to attempt to access as you drown/burn.

"Towing-related violence has been a major issue in Toronto. In 2024, there were 63 shooting and firearm discharge incidents related to tow-truck disputes". I'm sorry, what?!

Well I'm not doing anything else right now... though I was kind of keeping my murdering tinder dry for the Nazis.

Feels like every day there's Trump news and someone will say "this is just like the Nazi policy of Uberstollenzeit" or whatever and I end up losing another hour on Wikipedia. I swear I've learned more about the Nazis than I ever did at school, and I learned a decent amount at school.

Okay, I actually watched it and it was indeed a decent speech, basically telling the US to fuck off. Course like all big speeches it's best not to put too much weight in it and watch what they actually do afterwards, but it's interesting all the same.

I only skimmed headlines about the speech but it did sound like the message was broadly "sensible centrism will save us", like that wasn't what got us here in the first place.

Oh it's not about making it, it's a case of having stuff already defrosted that needs using up first. Still, I'm thinking spaghetti bolognese later in the week.

Screw you for making me want pasta on a day I'm not set up for having pasta!

Solid roundup of the state of AI, though it's fairly long.

Passing videogame idea: RPG where you don't get a map unless you buy surveying gear and create it yourself by exploring the world, maybe with a theodolite minigame.

In all seriousness that's a shiny new set of wheels, congrats! Now you just need to wait months for the weather to be new bike friendly. Oh, and didn't you build a fancy custom ride a year or so ago?

Wait, where is the suspension and why are the handlebars all curly like that?
