Drizzle honey on top as well for an even better treat.

Socializing for free food sounds too expensive for me.

Toss in a little of “the thing” from the eighties. Get them all suspecting each other. A couple scenes early on with just a flash and sprinkle of tentacles or outline of carnage in a lightning strike. Peter gets called in, but has to reluctantly call Eddie when he realizes he’s outmatched. The only problem is that we’ve established that the current Peter Parker and Eddie Brock movies are from different universes. Is there even a spider man in the venom movie verse? Maybe it’s an excuse to do ghost spider or another alt.

Anyway directed by Sam Raime and you got a deal.

Had a disc bulge between L4 and L3. Pain was pretty terrible to where I was walking with a cane sometimes and picking up the dogs bowl to feed them was insurmountable. Lived with it for years because I didn’t just want to be in pain meds. Discovered physical therapy, which helped me build strength but could never get the pain to stop. They referred me to get radio ablation, this is what “fixed” it, the PT after was super easy since we were already in a routine and it’s been about 95% better. I can’t do a lot of the high impact activities I was doing before that injured me in the first place, but I can do regular life things again.

You go to school for 4 years plus 4 more of med school just to be called doctor. Then 2 more years academy training to become ships surgeon. But you spend one night with a really potent scented candle and now that’s all anyone talks about.

The sun is hot, the sun is not a place that you can live.

So unregulated daycares. Well, I can’t see anything that could go wrong there. /s

This was basically the active shooter training I had to attend when I worked at a big office. Even if you’re a “good guy with a gun” when the officials, armed site security or police, roll in they have no idea and you run a huge risk of being assumed to be the aggressor.

How the fuck are you supposed to read this atrocity?

Good thing they aren’t on your roads then, being that you’re not American, and therefore not in either of the metropolitan areas they operate. They are on my roads however, I see them all the time. I see constant terrible driving from all kinds of people, but these things are patient and I don’t think I’ve personally seen one make a mistake.

By referring to their current stage of deployment as a public beta like it’s a bad thing you show a ton of ignorance on how testing cycles work as well. No amount of alpha testing would make these safe for broad deployment into real world scenarios that test designers can’t dream up. This is exactly the type of slow roll out that is required to get as much real experiences as possible to be programmed for.

I have no doubt these things aren’t perfect, but they are a lot better than an overworked and tired human being the wheel.

I’ve been in software for more than 20 years now. I’ve done some pretty innovative things from time to time. There is nothing I have ever done or seen in any proprietary code base at any company I’ve ever worked at that isn’t at every other company. The only unique thing at any company is how all the puzzle pieces get connected. It’s pure ego to think that any idea you have in that now open source project is unique or what’s giving you any competitive advantage in your other projects.

I’m going to say we’re actually heading in this direction, though it will ultimately be different. We haven’t really been using touch screens all that long, and we’re still figuring out things. What’s more valuable than an app icon? One that also tells you the date, or how many emails you have. We’re just starting to delve into widgets, live tiles, and contextually sensitive icons. Maybe we have an agenda widget, what it does when you tap on it changes based on the time. 5 min before or after you have to leave to make it to your appointment, the tap opens maps with the route already up. 5 min before or after the start time, the app opens what ever meeting tool you using or your phone app and connects you to the meeting. All other times it opens your calendar. That’s what we could do with an LCARS-type dynamic interface. The major difference is in how we use computers today vs how we used them when LCARS was dreamed up. Back then it was all about the flow of data, so all the context sensitivity in LCARS was about routing and flow. It would be much more PDA driven if reimagined today.

So I see a future where something like LCARS makes intuitive sense, but it would suite our way of using computers and not be so focused on data routing and flow.

Also helm control being LCARS would be terrible. Better to have a pilot with HOTAS controls and a navigator using LCARS, or else just have the ship limited to very slow bulky movements, and HOTAS in the shuttles and fighters. Maybe humans could adapt to touch screen piloting, but I don’t see how with so little feedback.
