    Not OP, but I use it to look up simple things. How can I refactor this basic algorithm more cleanly? Why isn’t this laying out as I expect? How can I return an array dropping the first index. Things like that size. I will rewrite the code as a simpler generic example before giving it to ChatGPT.

    I have also started using Xcode’s ai code completion. It’s kind of ok, but kind of bumpy too. Want to try code pilot.

    Even in larger, established communities it's important I think. My personal YouTube experience has definitely gone down since dislikes are no longer visible.

    As someone in my mid 30s I would definitely be willing to pay 10k to get 7 months of memories in my 20s. But when I was in my 20s that would have hurt. One thing you can do is take advantage of your time and proximity to sf to find a really good spot. There’s a lot of different vibes between soma and like the sunset and the mission etc. I would personally not want to live in soma at all and loved living in inner sunset, but I could totally see someone feeling the opposite way.

    This person isn’t just pirating games but leaking games before they are released.

    Doxing is publicly publishing private information. Using PIs to serve a cease and desist seems common. Leaking games before release is serious to Nintendo.

    This is the part I needed to read.

    It’s worth mentioning that it’s not actually possible to open an emergency exit door at cruising altitude, given the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the aircraft. So there probably wasn’t a major risk of some catastrophic event happening.

    This is the part I needed to read.

    I haven’t seen anyone mention the lack of a democratic primary. I think this was a major problem for the campaign and party. Honestly, Harris was not particularly popular as a vice president. When she assumed the role of nominee, people including myself got hyped/relieved Bidens doomed campaign was over and we all got on board and forgot about Harris’s popularity. Biden said he was going to be a one term president but he and the party didn’t do that. I think that will have a major impact on his legacy.

    I just got a deluxe for the first time and I have to say it was disappointing. It lost all the unique taste of a McDonald’s quarter pounder. I don’t know why but quarter pounders taste so much better to me than McDoubles, especially when they are fresh and hot. But the deluxe quarter pounder tasted like a very generic fast food burger. It had way too much mayo instead of the strong pickle and ketchup flavor. I do generally prefer sandwiches with lettuce, tomato, et al, but can’t recommend this one.

    I agree but where are you getting clothes that can’t be washed ten times? 80 percent of my wardrobe is from Uniqlo or hnm. The only shirts I have with holes in them are 7+ years old. I’m not getting rid of my clothes much. The most common reason I get rid of clothes are my collars getting stained pretty badly or my sweaters get holes in the elbows.

    There’s nothing in that question that suggests they haven’t read the whole post. It’s clear why you don’t want to use transmog features. But you can set that limit on yourself. Why should games not allow others to do it in single player games? To me it’s like saying, games should stop offering ranged classes, I only like melee classes.

    This is not usually the case in my experience. Empty tables does not mean there is space. Often there are reservations on those seats.

  19. Comment on Deadpool and Wolverine isn’t just a bad movie – it’s changing the definition of what a ‘movie’ is in ~movies

    Why not? So then what is the problem with this movie being saturated with fan service? It’s one thing to say I don’t like the movie, but it’s another thing to say this movie is bad for the industry.

    And it doesn't really make sense to compare a children's movie franchise's latest sequel to an r-rated movie

    Why not?

    The title is an exaggeration. The writer doesn't believe every movie going forward is going to be pushing towards brand synergy within and between franchises and companies.

    I cannot understand what compelled this writer to come to this conclusion. Deadpool has been a very successful franchise, but why would movies become cameo fests? If anything Deadpool is satirizing the MCU and comic movies that are earnestly just a bunch of intertwined cameos. I don’t understand why the writers argues this movie had no story. It definitely had a much more compelling and coherent story than say despicable me 4. Did this writer lament the harbinger of imminent doom that movie was also??
