They won’t compromise 

Pretty much. The ACA already is the compromise away from Single Payer and Medicare for all.

You know, as someone who works in fast food I have never been too concerned about automation.

 

All the articles I see on the subject talk about the social impact and losing the jobs and what not, but they rarely go into the details of what automation really means.

 

For example, I think people envision self checkout, but that is only a small portion of the jobs in a restaurant, and after the relatively easy part of replacing those cashier jobs with self checkout machines I think the intricacies of automation become vastly more difficult.

 

And even replacing that part of a cashiers job might not give you as much as you think because there's still a lot of things they do when they are not taking orders.

 

Still a long way to go, but for a place like McDonalds? Getting the number of employees down to only a small handful is certainly the future for them.

I never have mine docked but I'd like a larger one.

This. I want a bezel-less Switch with a full 1080p screen. Everything else can pretty much stay the same. I don't even care about the onboard storage. I have a 400GB microSD in mine, so I don't need it.

Our church is doing some video crunching, so a member donated a brand new 1660Ti. Very helpful of them, but this card is tall and doesn't come close to fitting in the 4U server chassis we're using here. I'd feel bad selling it on eBay and buying something else, but that's probably what I'll end up having to do.

That is, unless one if you all are interested in buying it off if me or trading me an old card you have for it. All I need is an Nvidia card with 4GB of RAM, so it's a free and even trade for me no matter what card it is.

All I need is something that isn't taller than the slot and, preferably, doesn't take power out the top.

I figured I'd ask here before I put it up on eBay.

Which is why the ending to Infinity War was such shallow garbage. 

Nah. There was no way Toy Story 3 was going to end with the toys being burned to death in a giant trash pile, but that doesn't mean the entire scene doesn't work because of that logic.

@Xbob42 This game is built on emergent gameplay in the best way possible. Half the time, I can't even figure out if my solution to a puzzle is the expected one or just some random asshattery that just happened to work.

This same Nigel Andrews of Financial Times also gave Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse 1 out of 5 stars.

Let's see what he had to say about that movie...

Never did hyper-kinesis seem so much like standstill. So much rush. So little panache.

I saw this was coming out to Switch. I'd grab it on mobile, but it's not on Android yet. The game does sound pretty great.

Down to 99%. Movie sucks, preorder cancelled. 

Did you read the leading quote on that review?

Quote

Us seems merely the sum of the first film's critical effluent and influent, wish-determining the new movie's monody of genre and monotony of tone in the name of a specious homogeneity

But accents are entirely different than the tone of your voice. lol

 

It's almost psychopathic to do what Holmes does. 

No, it's not. It's a WAY more common concern women have than you probably think. My wife works as a therapist and has a naturally low voice that she raises up an octave to come across as more caring to her clients. Because you know, caring and kind is high pitched for some reason. Her natural voice would be right at home in, like, a board room if she were trying to sound assertive. In her field, though, it had the complete opposite.

Didn't Maria Bamford have a stand-up special years ago that Comedy Central ran on repeat ad nauseum about this very subject? It's no different than every person in my family that has a white people voice they use on the phone so they aren't ignored by customer support. Isn't that the entire premise of Sorry to Bother You? Or this clip?

You can't really be arguing that women with "child-like" voices don't have the same concerns anyone else in a similar situation may have.

Yeah, I don’t see it as an inherent negative, I just think the choice she made was poor in that her voice sounds wholly unnatural.

That's the sign of someone that didn't go through a voice coach and just decided to wing it.

Eh...I wouldn't really hold this against her. I know a number of women with very high voices who feel that people think they sound too childish and aren't taken seriously. I don't see this any differently than someone with, say, a southern accent taking voice lessons to speak with a more midwest accent for similar reasons.

So the only solution to this ridiculous rolling is to abolish ICE, right?

You're looking to host your own VPN? I would not use anything inside your network to host the VPN. Ideally, the VPN would be hosted outside your network in a DMZ. Those open ports would be open to the Internet, so there is an inherit risk there. It would be the same if you were hosting your own website. You need to keep that website hosted in a DMZ outside of your internal LAN. From there, you can poke some holes in the firewall separating the DMZ computer from your internal LAN to allow computer/s VPNing in to actually be able to access internal resources.

The end result would look something like this...

Computer > Internet > External Firewall > DMZ (VPN Host) > Internal Firewall > LAN

Yeah, that seems totally normal.

I can't be the only one playing a Baba is You, right? Game has a weak 87 on Open Critic because nobody seems to have played it long enough to review. It's available on Steam and the Switch eShop.

As much as I like it, this game has a habit of making me feel really stupid. Puzzles seem impossible and then they just click and I feel like an idiot for not seeing the solution sooner.

I don't understand the Beto mania at all. No compelling life story, no solid policy positions, no great legislative history. He's somewhat charismatic and has that hope-y change-y vibe Obama had, maybe has some "get a beer with him" factor, and did well for a Democrat in Texas, but that's it? On the whole, I don't see a lot that makes him stand out.

I think some Dems believe he can turn Texas blue. Also, because he seems like a harder target for Trump to attack. Those are all terrible reasons to support a candidate, but this country doesn't exactly have the best track record on these things.

I have knowing this movie had been done for months but still having to wait.

I think they are building a Young Avengers team, with the kids of some of the people (like the girl from Captain Marvel, etc). Makes sense.

 

Also I assume that Cap dies in this. I've also seen theories that if time travel is involved, he might end up going back to WWII and stay there, living out the rest of his life with Peggy.

Eh, you can't have Monica Rambeau in Young Avengers since she'd be in like her thirties by the time Endgame takes place.

That said, I can totally see Disney creating a Young Avengers series for Disney+ starring kids introduced in the movies.

I don't get how anyone can care enough about a Doom movie to get mad about it unless they're hatebabies provoked by the director's choice to make Doomguy into Doomgirl, but maybe I'm biased in thinking it's impossible to make an engaging Doom movie to begin with. The best adaptation of the games I can think of is maybe a Hardcore Harry-style experimental first person action film, but even that would probably just make me want to play Doom instead.

Doom is totally doable. It just needs to be Aliens, but with demons. A straight action/horror film with a focus on scary demons in crowded spaces on a space station. It's not high art. It just needs to be scary/fun.

Best movie ever. I was legit devastated about the ending of Infinity War. Something just felt off the next day. I think it's because we have been with these characters for 10 some odd years. I expect major casualties in Endgame and I dunno what I will do.

Let's assume Clint bites it since he's totally training Kate Bishop in that trailer.

I could see a Biden / Beto ticket.

No. Something like Warren/Beto would make more sense if he were at all on the ticket.

Hey, new trailer...

If they're sticking to the no footage outside of the first act rule, then that means we'll get Captain Marvel in there pretty quickly.

Then again, if the movie is 3 hours long, quick is all relative.

According to pirate journals they actually tasted horrible  

Boooo... What can we a a people do to get a hold of some new meat that's easy domesticate? This is the real question people should be asking when they think about bringing some animals back from extinction.

Just make them smaller and great tasting  

If we're bringing back animals to eat, let's go with a dodo. It's just a 50lb chicken, but somehow dumber.
