My dentist has started texting about appointment reminders and reschedules. It's an automated system but also a person can manually jump into the conversation. I love it because it means I don't have to talk to them on the phone.

"highly offensive" lol wow chill out bud. It's weird but doesn't bother me at all. Let em call me whatever they want in whatever language they have.

Actually I'd think handling unclear situations like this would be one of the major things that makes autonomous driving systems so complicated and challenging to develop.

It's probably due to my age but that would be super weird to do with my peer group unless using it ironically. I'd sooner go with "well" or "so..."

Well actually I've got one in my laundry room too and that one hasn't failed either so it's really a sample size of two. But either way if you don't like it that's why I said for what it's worth.

For what it's worth I've had one of those integrated overhead fixtures in my kitchen for about 6 years. It hasn't failed yet. The overall shape of the fixture which we like also wouldn't be possible if the bulbs were replaceable.

Don't even need virtual box. You can just install Linux directly on Windows using what they call "WSL" (Windows subsystem for Linux)

Good thing the EU is making it so we're not going to have to worry about that for much longer.

Also it is possible to change the battery in your device it just takes some effort. Ifixit has replacement batteries, the needed tools and good instructions for many devices.

My city has two Microcenters

RIF specifically directed me here. I didn't join one before that because I didn't know which one was "best". I honestly don't care which one I joined, I just wanted to be on the one everyone else is on. I know this mindset somewhat defeats part is the purpose of the federated communities. I don't care about that in the slightest I just want a clone of Reddit.

Also "world" sounds more generic/standard than ml. Most people probably think it's a military website or something.

You'll probably find 90%+ of casuals are in the same boat as me.

I don't think you know what the word hypocrite means.

I've gotten Star Wars Squadrons and Subnautica. Looking forward to trying both.
