Great, now I’m thinking about the Trojan horse but with high explosives.

True, I’m very much looking at it in terms of work tooling. I don’t have much use for the ELIZA-with-delusions-of-grandeur models in my personal life.

Comically bad!

Yarr

80 bucks for a session could be a lot, but if it saves you 4 hours of work, I’d say it’s worth it.

OTOH, I’ve seen some articles claim that using AI tools actually slows you down. In that case, it’s a giant boondoggle.

Yes, and?

Thing is, Epic is SO BAD that I’d rather pay full price elsewhere than get it free through Epic. Sure, they’ve hosted a lot of great games in their giveaways. But to take advantage, I’d have to use Epic. Ugh.

You might want to recheck your math.

.2 cents is $0.002

40000 * .002 = $80

that doesn’t mean we hand drivers licenses to incompetent or irresponsible people.

Judging by the way people drive in my city, that’s exactly what it means :(

Clipper chip all over again

Finished Crossbows, an excellent tome on the history and construction of crossbows (and as a bonus, siege engines). A friend suggested it during a conversation about D&D.

Also Witch King by Martha Wells. Fantasy. Very different from the Murderbot diaries. Very good.

I sink, therefore I…

Am not a boat.

How much jelly do you heap on there?! I always figure a thin layer is plenty.

TBF I mostly eat PBJ toast, so the gobs of jam effect isn’t something I have to worry about

I make PBJ toast for breakfast a lot. Spread peanut butter first, then jelly, eat slices separately.

On “running late” days, I used to make it into a toast sandwich & eat in the car (WFH now). I’d still spread the toppings on both slices out of habit, I think.

Never drink and derive.

Do you want more allies? Chasing away reluctant ones seems counterproductive to me TBH.

You know, I had one simple request

Glam doll! I haven’t been there in ages. I should pop over there this weekend.

I think I know the pizza shop you mentioned. I don’t remember its name, but it’s a little hole-in-the-wall place near the MIA.

The prevalence of loans makes me question that standard. Lots of people have big mortgages and big car payments, but then it all comes crashing down with one layoff.

To me, the line is more like, enough saved to never need to work again. Even that comes with levels, though.

Keep the same housing?

Move to rural Mississippi?

Be able to upgrade to the nicest house in your city?

You can have the savings to “retire” to the sticks without being anywhere near “rich” IMO. Unless - did all middle class kids in the late 1900s qualify as rich?
