    This is a great use case for an LLM agent like Claude Code. OpenCode will let you use their LLM a bit for free.

    I never had Game Pass. But I thought the point was you don’t put the new big games on it? It’s like movie streaming. If you want to see the movie right away you need to pay more and watch in theaters. But if you wait a few months it’ll be covered by a monthly subscription.

    I could see them doing something like giving you a $15 discount in a $70 game at launch as they factor in your Game Pass fee.

    Some of those don't apply to the large category of student shooters. What happens when a student is a walking red flag? People just sort of whisper about them?

    Bird-wise we're all looking for the white-tailed ptarmigan. But they're elusive. I've already seen enough beautiful landscapes (1, 2, 3, 4) to sate my needs there.

    I feel like half of the shooter stories I hear about there is someone quoted saying they knew the shooter was troubled. Why aren’t we doing more at that stage?

    My little brother became an ornithologist and now the whole family makes time for birding when we're together. We're currently checking out Glacier National Park and everyone brought their binos.

    One minor request - can we have the standard “light mode / dark mode / system” theme selector? Thanks for the app! I use it every day.

    As someone that’s on the side of those not wanting to be obsoleted, much of the AI hate discussion online is really annoying - cringe even. People focus on water instead of electricity or class warfare, which I see as the bigger issues. And people act as though they’re better than me because I’m a stinky user of LLMs that destroy the environment. How many of those people are eating meat at most of their meals? That would have a much bigger environmental and ethical impact (edit: or flying on jets?). I see a lot of these awkward flailings as redirected economic anxiety. Why not just talk about the ownership class trying to obsolete labor instead?

    However if the server is fairly vanilla it requires fewer resources to play compared to singleplayer. You’re not generating terrain in multiplayer.

    At this point I assume we're going to see climate deaths in the hundreds of millions before we start seriously fixing things.

    It’s interesting how I’ve pretty much forgotten about the existence of hot or humid weather. When I travel somewhere and finally step outside of the air conditioned terminal there’s often a confused moment. I never anticipate it. I’m like “What is that feeling? It’s familiar…”
