    Honestly the build quality alone may sway a lot of people. Most laptops that I've seen in the $600 range have been plastic build (admittedly it's been a bit since I've been laptop shopping but I can't imagine with inflation the this range has gotten better in build quality). With student discount this even goes down to $500. It suddenly becomes a much more affordable and appealing option, especially if someone already has an iPhone.

    Seeing Edmonton get Connor Murphy just kinda makes me chuckle. Back when Stan Bowman was the Blackhawks GM, he would often trade for players that had previously left but been part of previously successful Blackhawks teams.

    Some things never change I suppose.

    Yeah I'm in my early 30s now and this was all present back when I was in high school, but it does seem like modern social media has turned the intensity and frequency of exposure up to 11. It's a serious problem, I don't know that banning social media outright for those under 16 will do anything to stop it, but I'm not going to pretend like I have a better solution. I feel like the issues are on a systemic level that requires a lot more than pulling one lever. Then again, maybe starting with the 1 lever is better than nothing? I just don't want people to pretend "we did it! We solved the issue!" by putting up the under 16 ban and then calling it a day.

    You're doing yourself a disservice not having watched Andor. It's seriously a masterpiece. First season may start out a little slow but it does a great job building up to an amazing story. You don't even need background Star Wars knowledge to enjoy it. Highly recommend.

    Excited about? Not a whole lot, but I think it's mostly because the "exciting" use cases for AI aren't heavily publicized or really brought to media attention. I think there's a lot to be gained in the medical fields with pattern recognition, early detection, and other general improvements to making accurate diagnoses (when used right of course, not relied on solely as a crutch without oversight). Anything that by and large can improve society by being a proper assisting tool would get me excited, when applied thoughtfully.

    Unfortunately I feel like the most publicized use cases are what makes me the most angry and push me more into the anti-AI camp. Boring generated videos/art that have no soul behind them (with ethically questionable copyright issues), increasingly annoying and useless customer chat bots, and every other product you can imagine forcing "AI" branding into their product for no apparent reason.

    Been out of town and busy with some other IRL stuff lately (and got sick), haven't forgotten about y'all! Do plan on trying to hop on a bit more but so far it's seeming like I won't be able to be as active as I was last season. Will still get on when I can. Last I was on I started to explore some of the things y'all have been creating and it's looking great so far!

    I also just finished Expedition 33 (the main story anyway) and absolutely loved it. The combat felt refreshing, the world building and story were fantastic, I felt completely immersed. I was going to do some of the optional side content as well now (the DLC and explore some areas I missed on the main play through), considering going through NG+ to try out different builds.

    Sorry, haven't been super active, been wrapped up in trying out Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 for the first time and it has me enthralled.

    Might try to hop on more once I get through the game and get back to expanding my little tree village area I've been starting.

    First off I'd like to say it's always impressive to me the amount of ingenuity and awesome things this community comes up with and is able to build, especially in such a short period of time already. Meanwhile I'm just here playing with my virtual Legos building a small tree town).

    On that note, I have vague, loose plans for the tree town. Right now just working on expanding it out and making various levels, will add more houses and other stuff later to give it a better aesthetic. If anyone has interest in adding to it, please by all means feel free, I love seeing everyone's creativity with these things.

    You see this a lot in professional sports. Sometimes some of the most successful managers in the sport used to be a player, but they were very "bad" from a professional standpoint.

    I can move the treehouse, I just started it in a spot and I can certainly expand it in a direction that doesn't interfere with the portal. I'm definitely planning to keep most of it up in the trees so if you have paths planned in the underbrush, feel free to complete that as you'd like, I'll try to keep out of the way :)

    I've started a little tree village, it's just in its base starting point but I plan on expanding it to actually be more functional.

    When I first joined I made a small little house floating over the main large crater, if it's in the way or an eyesore please feel free to remove, I'm not really planning to use it anymore and it was mostly just a Day 1 temporary location near the starting point.
