I'm in the Deep South, I bet by end of week I see a place charging "Fuck China" surcharges.

I did turn off my Amazon renewal for next month, I don't really care if it makes a difference in their bottom line, but my money doesn't support this shit if I can help it.

Now in damp!

It's kind of unreal that they took something that worked perfectly well for 25 years and then fucked it up entirely overnight, for no good reason.

Stick in bike spokes meme.

Interesting. Ok, I will give it another go at some point. I had an Oculus Rift and there was a ton of promise but the tech was just not ready.

Seems dangerous, it's a breach of the ToS I assume so they're opening up to possible liability if Reddit got pissy. I'm actually surprised this kind of research gets IRB and other approval given you're violating ToS unless given a variance from it (I used to conduct research on social networks and had to get preapproved accounts for the purpose, and the data I was given was carefully limited.)

Usually wise to avoid trusting the people you see in mirrors as well, never know what they're doing when you're not around.

Yep I've played with virtual monitors in VR space and I don't even like watching movies on them, the loss in resolution and the way the dynamic aspect of it (using a moving screen to simulate a static screen) makes it a shitty solution. Eventually it'll be good enough to watch TV in but I can't imagine doing serious work in it.

Money addicts will risk their half trillion dollar fortune trying to save a small fraction of it

Orrr force them to continue doing nothing for forever as previously scheduled before public outrage. Now they can throw their hands up and act like they tried.

Yep my dog needs 1+ mile in the morning and at least 2 miles in the afternoon for optimal health - bowels, muscles, etc. He's 7 now and acts like a dog half his age.

Then some of my friends are like "I try to take mine around the block at least once a week" and I am sad for their poor dog.

Hard to find good dogsitters who will actually take them on long walks too.

Iowa was improving in the 90s, improving in the 2000s. They were blue then.

Now I hate going back, it's not the same state I grew up in. Abortion billboards and porn stores, same as the bible belt now.

The state is not improving but they don't care anymore, long as the right people (like me) get hurt.
