Hmm - roll me a History check.

Although, funnily enough, we don't use kernel to mean 'core' in the idiom 'kernel of truth.'

The Quest and the Vision Pro are competitors in the same way that a Porsche competes with my '98 Nissan Pulsar.

I've done a bunch of web browsing on the Quest with hand-tracking. All of the important touch gestures have an intuitive equivalent.

Sin, eck, dock, ee. There is also a 'c' between the first e and the d.

I think you're willingly missing what OP is implying.

My experience is very different to yours. The feed is full of AI fact-of-the-day accounts, whose post replies are kilometers of smaller AI accounts attempting to add more low-effort content to the original (or just plain non-sequiturs).

You have to wade through so much shit to see human tweets in replies to most popular tweets now. It's a demonstrable deterioration in quality.

What if I want a rice-based ready meal, but don't know exactly what kind of meal yet (I'll know when I see it), so I'd like to search rice and see what's on offer?

Oh! Chicken and rice soup, I could go for that. Cart.

> I don't know why parents would purchase consoles for their children as you don't learn any transferable skills

It's plausible that parents may just want their children to enjoy some leisure? To not feel like every experience in childhood should be preparation for labour?

My theory is that the brain is temporarily using a lossy delivery protocol - you're receiving short-term memory packets out of sequence and its causing you to feel like you're "remembering" the present.

There is no basis for my theory and it's fantastical horseshit.

It has been a long time since I read Borges, but I vaguely remember a story about a man about to die by firing squad, who pauses time and lives in an eternal moment by looking at a bee or something? I'm probably way off, but I really liked it.

My favourite Ted Chiang story is the Tower of Babel story, what a rich world and satisfying pay-off.

> Oh and one is something you have your whole life and the other shows up after an illness.

I agree with your post, but do want to point out that adults can acquire ADHD from brain injuries etc.

Another pattern that I hate is that Reddit will create an account for you if you are using a browser profile that does not have an associated Reddit account. It will then prompt you to 'personalise' the username and password.

War and War by Laszlo Kraznahorkai - an obsessive old Hungarian bureaucrat finds a mysterious text, and travels to New York City to transcribe it onto the internet before he dies. Fascinating story.

Hate that Joe Rogan co-opted Terrence McKenna's huge body of work. And badly, at that.

I make one zantillion dollars selling people an audiobook of engine sounds.

Just experienced the exact same thing! Performed the miracle on the phones of several family members. I used the sharp end of a push-pin to lift it out, and was in awe of how much material had been compacted in there. Now my phone has that satisfying "click" when you put the cable in again.

Does yours have more than a couple of wheels?

What if your ticket runs out of battery?

Masterful reply, with a satisfying finisher. Fatality!

Here's the plan: you and 5 people closest to you move to the same area. Then each of those 5 people moves 5 of their closest people to the same area. Repeat ~13x and we can all finally be together.

It's not really strange at all. It's a clear illustration of why your perspective is incomplete.

I regularly play competitive VR shooters for hours at a time - against servers populated with people who do the same.

I play VR shooters for 3-6 hours most days of the week.

which language does this?

Yes - trying to do so in a way that tanks the business and loses them even more.

I live and die by the timers on my watch (whenever I can remember to set them).

That might be your perception.

I started playing Hitman GO again on mobile. Really enjoying that.

You've been just as weirdly hostile from the jump.
