I’d argue that this still tracks in Dutch or German.

For fuck’s sake, stop making company/product names that are homophones of normal English words with “creative” spelling.

“I bought a mikroPhone the other day”.

“Oh, I didn’t know you sang?”

“…what?”

If your wallet or keys are in your pants, how would you forget your pants???

I was also going to recommend Soundgarden’s Superunknown.

I’m also stoked to see Blue Eyes by Springbok Nude Girls in your list. Their albums Neanderthal 1, After Life Satisfaction and Surpass The Power are both fantastic and weird.

There’s a genre called Adult Visual Novels which can be a more … refined experience. Not so much games but more like illustrated choice-driven stories. Some may include mini-games or other game-like aspects.

https://f95zone.to/forums/games.2/ filter by VN or Completed and sort by descending rating. The first couple pages are full of excellent examples. However, note that a lot of them are still being developed and may only release updates once or twice a year.

You can find a lot of these on Steam, itch.io or on the developer’s Patreon page.

Three that I recall. First pair was in my early twenties, some weird blue bug eye mirror things that I thought made me look cool (they didn’t). Second was a pair of Fossil sunglasses in this cool gunmetal color/material with prescription lenses, acquired shortly after the bug sunglasses. Those lasted me for years. Current pair are Raybans with prescription lenses. They’ve lasted quite a few years as well.

I wear normal glasses as well and keep my sunglasses in a case. I’ve never sat on them.

It’s a CAD format in that the files contain object descriptions instead of meshes (like OBJ). But the format does not support all of fusion 360’s features so it is a lossy export in that respect.

TI isn’t in the business of marketing and selling these types of devices to hobbyists etc.

Just curious what your issue with raspberry pi is?

Yeah I’d love to but I already have too many kitchen gadgets and not enough storage space 😂

The Instant Pot is actually great at cooking rice using the pot-in-pot method: put a plain metal bowl with your rice and water (usually 1:1 ratio) in the Instant Pot on a wire rack and add about 1 1/2 cups of water to the Instant Pot. Steam for 10 minutes for white rice. Perfect every time.

I have an Aeron that I bought over 10? years ago and it’s still in great condition with daily usage. The only issue with it is that the fake leather type material on the arm rests has scrunched up and the texture is not so nice anymore. I could replace those if I wanted to though.

TIL. I thought they had their own crawler. I’m a little disappointed.

Kagi.com has its own I believe. But you have to pay a subscription to use it.

I’m a professional software dev and I use GitHub Copilot.

It’s most useful for repetitive or boilerplate code where it has an existing pattern it can copy. It basically saves me some typing and little typo errors that can creep in when writing that type of code by hand.

It’s less useful for generating novel code. Occasionally it can help with known algorithms or obvious code constructs that can be inferred from the context. Prompting it with code comments can help although it still has a tendency to hallucinate about APIs that don’t exist.

I think it will improve with time. Both the models themselves and the tools integrating the models with IDEs etc.
