I was going to say Auron. He's my favorite.

To be clear, they are not intending on creating new games based on Olympic events. They are talking about incorporating esports into the Olympics somehow.

Please tell us the exact model of wire strippers. If there's something better, I would love to try it.

I love commentary and streaming services almost never have it. That's the biggest loss.

That's the thing. Being just as fair doesn't necessarily imply it's equally travelled. Even being worn the same doesn't necessarily mean equally traveled, although it strongly implies it. I think the final line is so certain that it overrides the earlier lines and implies to the unwary reader that these similar paths actually were differently travelled.
I don't expect self contradiction in a story / poem. So that certainty of there being a difference overrides all.
It's only after reading the author's intentions that I know for sure that the contradiction was intended and that was actually the point of the poem.
As I said before, this makes me like the poem even more now.

I was thinking about trying it. I've always wanted to like Pokemon, but every video of it I've watched just makes it seem incredibly childish with the most boring combat system I've ever seen.
But, I like the idea of collecting Pokemon and needing to really search to complete a collection. But, I just can't get past the apparently boring combat.
This cassette theme seems interesting, but is the combat interesting at all?

Even after rereading the poem I had to read the Wikipedia analysis section to be convinced you are right. It's a very subtle poem, which, honestly, just makes it better.

From the article:
“Our technology can be thought of as ‘indirect air capture’ because the ocean will take more carbon dioxide out of the air above it to replace the carbon dioxide that we’re removing.” Hornbostel said.

It is absolutely ai. The experience of talking with chatgpt is so human like that it just blows my mind. What I've learned so far is that human brains aren't nearly as magical as they seem.

I thought the main obstacle was the computing power to update 175 billion neurons with large datasets. You probably could generate a good llm just using Wikipedia, but I think it requires a room full of expensive video cards to do.

The Google response seems to agree with you, but this Berkeley study says the opposite:

Play different games. Walkabout golf is a fantastic multiplayer game. I consider it the killer app. My family plays it regularly.
I wish they'd focus more on releasing VR board games. My family and friends are scattered around the world and VR is fantastic for playing board games with them if only they'd release them.
If the only thing you like playing is FPS games then I guess VR isn't for you though.

Wait, is this a good genie wish or an evil genie wish? I feel like the spirit of the wish would make me forget sequels to any movie I specify or that'd just make it impossible to properly forget.

Meh. Disagree. It holds up in my opinion. But, we all have our opinions.

The Matrix. Blew my fucking mind the first time I saw it. It's awesome on repeat viewings, but that first watch is magical.

Uplifting news that isn't boring (Bob did well in school his whole life.) and doesn't imply bad things happening (the community came together to save Jill from a life in the slave pits of Hoth) is actually a challenge.
What would be an example that was interesting with no negative connotations? Maybe news of scientific and engineering breakthroughs? Children who rise above a good but boring life?

Dark Souls II I am really enjoying it. I think this is my new 2nd favorite souls game after DS1.
Sometimes I get language not allowed when I try to reply to a post or message. Seems odd given that the post is in English.
How can I light a 10 foot square room so it seems like a sunny day? I am painting here and want the night look to match what I see during the day. Do I need multiple lamps around the room at lower intensities? Sunlight temperature bulbs don't look like sunlight to me.
I'm thinking of an easel with a way to screw into the back of the canvas so it hovers in place giving access to all sides. Or maybe a reverse clamp that pushes against the inner edges of the back of the canvas that connects to an easel. The problem is that when I paint the bottom of a canvas I need to wait for the top to dry and then flip it. Or I need to hang the canvas, but it isn't held solidly in place.
Oldest complaint letter. Nanni got poor quality copper and his servant was treated poorly. Shame on you Ea-nāṣir! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complaint_tablet_to_Ea-n%C4%81%E1%B9%A3ir
I remember this game really affecting me, particularly because I got a bad ending and didn't realize it has multiple endings. Highly recommended if you like adventure games. The story it's based on is, of course, fantastic too. How did this game feel to others?
There is no limit to what can fit in your suitcase if you are ok with creating a singularity.
Love that this game is getting some new life via speedrunning.
It's just dispiriting to type a long comment then find it can't be saved.
