That was quick. This took a few months, while artists have been dealing with AI stealing their work for years now.

That works great until the exit is on the left.

There’s all kind of dev work that needs to be done in industries that aren’t “tech first”, for example a industrial machine manufacture needs someone to program the robot arms and gui - ai doesn’t know how the brand new machine works.

Commercial buildings have all kinds of systems; lighting controllers, audio systems, HVAC, networks, security systems and so on. All of that needs both someone to program the device (and firmware support) and someone to physically deploy and integrate those systems.

It’s pretty hard to avoid corporate hell. Some people find success in smaller, well established, private companies. Less corporate nonsense, or at least HR knows your name and there’s no investors demanding a mass-layoff.

My suggestion is to find something where you’re on-staff for a company that exists outside of the “digital” realm.

Not mentioned is 911, if you’re actively considering something call them too.

Put an indicator light on the glasses with a sensor to make sure it’s on from the nose bridge.

This is that part that’s missing, it’s more obvious when someone is holding their phone to record you. Phone’s should probably have an indicator too…

The cookie dough they use in cookie dough flavored things is safe to eat, mainly the raw egg is not there.

There’s no way they would purposely sell us anything with immediate health risk that can be easily pinned on them.

Also not all sushi is raw fish, some is cooked. Improperly handled raw fish can be very dangerous, so only eat it at places you trust (I.e maybe not the buffet or grocery sushi).

Sorry, that’s outside of the cancelation window. You’ll have to pay full price for the visit.

Yeah a lot of frozen vegetables are fine, especially when cooked in a casserole or something, but not on their own.

I know it’s not practical to avoid all processed stuff, not that I want to, and a lot of it is healthy enough. It’s just all the stuff with reasonable amounts of salt/sugar/etc and still tastes good tends to cost more. (even then you have to be careful, a lot the stuff marketed as healthier really isn’t. Exhibit A; Diet Soda)

It seems protein is the latest trend, a lot of stuff is highlighting how much protein they have in them. Protein is great, but I’ll get that from the regular sources not a dense candy bar or meat stick. Gosh even some milks (that aren’t specifically protein drinks) are highlighting protein content now lol.

Yeah, I don’t care for the labels, I just try to pay attention to ingredents.

Everyone’s essentials will differ, for me it its things like canned veggies, jarred sauce, frozen veggies, canned soup - basically easy meals or sides to easily make dinner after work.

Yes, most of that is healthier than a TV dinner, but fresh is still better (and tastier).

I could learn to can or pickle my own, but that’s not with out its own difficulties.

Sure the staples are pretty easy, but a head of iceburg is a dollar while all the stuff with some nutritional value costs $3 for less per pound.

Going to the store with produce that isn’t already half dead, so it will last the whole week costs more.

Going the store multiple times a week for fresh produce costs more in gas and time (and “extra” buying). I end up with lots of fresh meals at the start of the week, but towards the end its all frozen or canned vegetables, which is a lot of salt.

Buying the juice, or any snack, not full of high-fructose corn syrup costs more.

Fresh bakery bread costs $5+, while a loafs cost $1-2. A loaf of wheat or multi-grain bread costs around $3.

It all adds up, and yes I am lazy.

Healthy eating.

It’s so much more expensive and effort than the mainstream stuff. Its easy enough to cut back on the junk foods, but the cutting out the processed “essentials” is harder.

The original “The Princess Bride” by S. Morgenstern

That second one is on HR - should have changed their name in the system.

Early journey, before Perry joined, was definitely an interesting era.

It would also have 4 original zones each larger than the official DLCs combined, 13 new weapons, 38 new monsters and animals, high resolution shaders, new foliage and 51 unique skimpy outfits.

I think a lot people crying about 8GB, are (or were) heavy windows users. They expect the os to take 4 of that, chrome to take 3 and only have 1GB left.

In reality any one who wants to game, use the ram for crazy data calculations, or do creative work professionally won’t be looking at the neo for reasons beyond the ram size.

(But yes, the non upgradable part sucks).

The performance of an m1 chips is still impressive for a “budget” laptop, and the built in finger warmer is nice when you leave the metal laptop out in the cold.

It’ll be good for someone, non-technical, who just needs a computer for the simple stuff in life. For a student it’ll be great, and when a class that wants them to edit a video or they need to “Photoshop” something - it will work for that. (Maybe not greatly, but it will work), you can’t say the same for a Chromebook.

The low ram is certainly a bummer and will hold it back, but with a properly optimized OS, it will probably fine for a few years.

The need for a dongle is just part the apple expirence, right? If you don’t want a dongle, go get a usbc to hdmi cable. Quite honestly, I’d love to see HDMI die out and be replaced with USBC, its a smaller connector and a good USBC cable can be used for other things too. Also if you’re hooking up a second display, chances are its a stationary setup and only having to plug in the 1 dongle for your “desk” is very helpful.

I kept wondering “what is he snacking on”? Dude is great!

Yes, give it a robot arm to remove the cone. Or hire transformers for the job.
