What about mouthwash?

The mobile games industry was killed by ports and low-effort cash grabs. Seems like nobody makes good games that are specifically designed for mobile anymore, and almost all ports suffer from poor controls and/or just not being as good as the original versions.

Gotta plug one of my favorite mobile game studios: Afterburn. They only have 3 puzzle games. All are relatively short and 100%-able. Every single one is fun and full of heart. Golf Peaks, Inbento (bought by Crunchyroll), and Railbound.

World of Goo 2 isn’t on mobile :(

No, but he went with a thousand other shipping company CEOs and only him and the UPS guy came out with money.

And thousands of those are unique visitors!

Fake. Squidward is eating a Krabby Patty.

Zoning to prohibit people from living on 99% of the land so that the population is dense enough to fully benefit from public transit? Lots of states don’t even have a true city at all. Should those be zoned as national parks?

Edit: I think I missed the point. You’re talking about just city zoning. Still, not a magical fix and would likely require moving lots of people and demolishing/building buildings and infrastructure. However, it’s more realistic than zoming everyone out of the midwest.

I like Feeder as a free Android option

I agree, 401ks are stupid and were invented as more of a tax loophole for the wealthy than as an every-man’s retirement fund. But they’re cheaper for business so that’s what we’re stuck with.

That’s not what I was talking about at all, though. I was just pointing out that if you have enough money to save for retirement, there are ways to relatively easily invest and grow your money while still mitigating risk and staying mostly hands-off.

Fun fact about pensions. At their height, only about 45% of private-sector workers actually had a pension. Having one was undoubtedly better, on average, than having a 401k today. But they weren’t the utopian retirement solution that we (including myself) like to pretend they were. A majority of the population didn’t benefit from them at all, and the less-fortunate were essentially in the same or worse spot as they’re in today.

That is nearly a decade ago

There are targeted retirement funds that target a retirement year and slowly transition from stocks into bonds/less risky positions as that date approaches. Those are generally a better idea for retirement savings than broader market funds for the reason you described.

And it’s not like retirement immediately liquidates your 401k. There’s just some minimum that you need to take out per year which isn’t very high. Roth IRA’s don’t have a minimum distrust requirement until after the death of the owner.

But… it’s cybersecurity. What is a “brief visual and non-intrusive room inspection” even looking for? Anonymous masks? Green terminals with scrolling text? People shouting “enhance” and/or “I’m in”?

Thing is, it already was ubiquitous before the AI “boom”. That’s why everything got an AI label added so quickly, because everything was already using machine learning! LLMs are new, but they’re just one form of AI and tbh they don’t do 90% of the stuff they’re marketed as and most things would be better off without them.

I had that happen once too, but they unblocked me after I opened a ticket and I haven’t had a problem since. That was maybe 5+ years ago.

I’ll stop speeding when the mfs around here stop building 6 lane roads with a 30mph speed limit.

I know you said you’re biased against it, but TeamViewer is dead easy and completely free for noncommercial use. Sometimes the normie way is the best way, especially when it comes to the tech illiterate. Similarly, Chrome Remote Desktop looks very handholdy. I haven’t used it in many years, so I can’t personally recommend it, but I’ve heard good things.

You could also start a call on your preferred conferencing software, send them a link, and have them share their screen. Downside is you can’t control their computer directly. Zoom has a really cool annotation feature where you can draw on the sharer’s screen and they’re able to see it. I haven’t seen other conferencing software with that feature, but I haven’t looked very hard.

He used a full band! That’s cause for disqualification.

An I going crazy? I vaguely remember running up there without a boost, but it was years ago and I’m probably misremembering. Was it ever possible without a boost?

Dems controlled the Senate with the slimmest majority possible. One fucker that owns a coal company was able to tank all meaningful climate bills and there was nothing Biden or anyone else could do about it. You can forget about any progressive policies in that environment, lol. Biden did well with the tools he was given.
