I guess printing a correct headline of “sued for copyright infringement “ isn’t click baity enough. Because that’s all it is. Dbrand is lucky they haven’t been sued by the board manufacturers for creating an unlicensed derivative work (which is what the case art is, just as the photo of a sculpture, even stylized, has been deemed derivative - especially when the reproduction is intended to represent the original).

When I worked in an office I’d head out to my car and lay the seat back for 15 minutes of shuteye.

I married my wife because she was the first person to teach me to laugh at myself.

“I own the only patent - I will license it for just $10/square inch.”

And that’s a short story about how eInk never got commercialized.

The ability to make someone believe they have to go to the bathroom really bad but when they get there, nothing was really there.

So, business as usual for men over 60? (Or so I’m told)

Get me out after a couple of decades of the torture and this is the tragic backstory I need to turn evil and plot the end of humanity. Make my savior a nerdy but hot chick (Gal Gadot will work - just put some horn rimmed glasses on her) and have her die while escaping. I think we can get two sequels out of it.

We’re all here think of good things; you’re plotting nefarious powers.

Phone, flashlight, gaming system, headphones, laptop, jump start cars, watch (though the Apple Watch wouldn’t be compatible with my super power…same as in real life with all normal chargers).

The real question is if it would transfer energy magically, or would I experience a calorie deficit. That could go both ways in my book.

Is breathing underwater too exceptional? I’d settle for charging batteries by holding them, or the ability to revive/kill plants that I touch (my choice, not some random thing or King Midas curse)

I’m still figuring out the controls for Lemmy. How do you delete someone else’s post?

Gotta save this one for Father’s Day next year.

IKR? For what they wanted I could get a faster full size machine with better expandability. I get the value in a small box, but unless you had some commercial application or wanted some special architectural aesthetic in your home that required that size, it was a waste of money.

That’s sort of how I do mine. I put all my data onto dropbox/onedrive. I’ve got a $100 HP USFF hooked up in my office that is a 100% online mirror for those cloud accounts, and it backs up to an 8TB external each week. I rotate that drive with a spare each month (give or take), putting the “offline” one in a firesafe. It means I have a live copy (my pc), a cloud copy (OD/DB), a second hot copy (USFF PC), a near-line backup no more than 7 days old that isn’t “live” and a cold storage copy that is no more than a month old (aka less than Apple’s deleted-pictures and Dropbox’s previous version storage time). It cost me two external drives and the mini-pc. And if all those fail I’ll probably be roaming the radioactive wasteland looking for food and losing that data won’t matter.

Oh, and that little box also runs a small FTP server and my Torrents for my Linux distro collection.

Oops - my first sentence go stripped on the post; I edited to add it back. Yes, luck is the most important quality.

I got a super-cool first job because my mother happened to be jabbering about me to a guy who thought it’d be neat to have an intern. Note that this wasn’t some rich-folks club cotillion, she was a part time dental hygienist making small talk during a cleaning.

Edit (the first line of my post disappeared:)

“Luck is the most important factor in success; more than hard work, more than money.”

Between the removal of nsfw from r/all and my browsing Lemmy there seems to have been quite the explosion in AI generated nudity. One of the things I liked about the r/all nsfw was the “discovery” as I might flip through the days latest news. I say that because the images I’ve seen are whatever you horny bastards upvote enough to make a Top list. The AI images look like bad Instagram filters - or maybe filters that are just too good. It’s almost past the uncanny valley, but not quite. As for the skin tone and ethnicity I just assume that’s the bulk of the user base self-selecting.

I will say that my teenage self would have been salivating at these. The older me finds most of them, if not disturbing/offputting for appearing so young, a bit too perfect for my taste. To drop a quote: “the sadder but wiser girl’s the girl for me” these days.
