Eh, it’s not just BBQ tho. Houston is America’s most international city and you can find restaurants serving cuisines from around the world all fighting tooth and nail to prove thselves against the competition. The Cajun, Tex-Mex, and Southwest American food is amazing. Some of the best Greek, Thai, and Indian I’ve ever tried, the only fancy Irish pub I’ve ever tried (try the Guiness Stew at McGonigals Mucky Duck), not to mention almost everything else from late-night Italian delivery to a literal Russian bar to an Ethiopian eatery. Want Phó, a street taco, sushi, and a slice of pizza after watching the game at a sports bar? They’re all just minutes away and they’re all great!

Only if you’re using the Chrome extension, maybe. This is just Google trying to kill even the memory of Google Reader by fucking with the biggest competitor to social media in Chrome.

“Smart” TVs should be kept off the internet and only used as video output for actual computers.

IIRC, biological grey goo is called Pink or Green goo.

Look at that source, might as well be posted by the Israeli state department for how much I’d trust it.

I think the version of yad installed by the OS might be an older one, you can check on the terminal with:

yad --version

Fortunately, SteamTinkerLaunch has options to work around that using conty or appimages, see https://github.com/sonic2kk/steamtinkerlaunch/wiki/Yad

Got an error message?

Faraday cage, but it’s just a dog crate wrapped in aluminum foil.

As usual, shot placement is key. I imagine the navigation sensors are fragile enough that a small air rifle could do enough damage to disable them, but a .22 would definitely do it and maybe even be enough to lock up a knee or shoulder joint.

Debt Limited Stereotype Sketcher

I’m confident in my “never” because of the capital economics; the service has to be expensive enough to pay for the infrastructure it requires plus some profit for the shareholders, while simultaneously being cheap enough to offer gamers a better value proposition than buying their own hardware. There’s no margin between those limits, so the only market left for them to appeal to are niches where local rendering performance is limited but network latency and bandwidth are not. Even then, gamers still have the option of streaming from their own hardware using Moonlight rather than paying for a third-party service, so the only customers left are the ones with more money than sense.

Don’t get me wrong, I love the concept (I even bought an OnLive microconsole back in the day and still regularly use a Steam Link to stream games to the living room TV), but it isn’t nearly convenient or performant enough to justify itself as a subscription service.

I did, but only until you gave up and started phoning it in.

And yet, you just posted one.

Nah, I only make out with people that put in the effort to argue in good faith, or at least make amusing claims and then try to articulate an absurd yet coherent logic to justify them (E.g., Italy isn’t real; it was made up by two Giuseppes who got the idea in prison, which is both technically accurate and a wildly reductive perspective on the Italian Wars of Unification.)

If I’m not getting it immediately then you’re communicating your point ineffectively.

What, precisely, do you mean when you assert that the last three to six generations of work on “AI” don’t count?

Because I’m the kind of fucked up weirdo that enjoys arguing with people on the internet. What’s your excuse?

Why did you waste time posting this when you could have just not?

No, I’m afraid I don’t.

The beginning of the development of “AI” is temporal, not spatial, unless you are referring to the path of development which, for no obvious reason, you refuse to trace backwards as well as forwards.
