It’s strange that there’s no comment from the company.

Yeah, that’s not so strange.

Don’t worry. When I tell someone “Have a nice day.”, that means I’ve blocked them and will no longer engage with them.

I also understand that the advantage of encountering a bear is that they would know to immediately run the fuck away.

You’ve completely missed the point of picking the bear. It has nothing to do with the bear. Have a nice day.

Individual men were hurt by feeling classified as more dangerous to a random woman than a bear in the woods when their lived experiences place them well below that threat

It’s quite obvious which side you’ve picked. You talk about men’s lived experiences while complaining that women talking about their lived experiences “trampled over a lot of innocent men.”

There’s no point in debating this. If you’re really just a spectator, then you wouldn’t be actively arguing about it. But I don’t have to play along with this. That’s my choice…

It’s one thing to say that you feel hurt by the idea that a woman would choose a bear over you. It’s another to argue that they are wrong to make that choice and that women are just being irrational. You have every right to feel hurt and to express that you feel hurt. You don’t have the right to tell anyone else what choice to make. That’s the line that was crossed. That’s where they were no longer innocent men. Of course you’re not going to win an argument when you try to control other people’s choices. The entire reason women choose the bear is because of men trying to control them. You don’t have to like that choice, but you do have to accept it because it’s not your choice to make.

That’s the real winning move…accepting women’s choices, no matter how “wrong” you think it is.

The choice may have been controversial, but the number of men telling women they are being stupid and irrational for picking the bear was unnecessary. Not to mention that it totally explained why women pick the bear.

You’d think, but after that man vs bear thing I realized this place can be just as bad. Some instances are tolerant, but other seem to be more combative and less tolerant. The only benefit here is that I can block the less tolerant instances and people more easily.

Honestly, nothing yet. I’ve only been playing with it for a few weeks. I just use the web interface on my phone to test the voice control. I’ve been looking at the esp32 devices that people have been building, but a lot of them admit that they can’t come anywhere close to the reliability of the microphone array used in the Alexa.

And this is exact the reason I’m building a Home Assistant instance with local voice processing. Right now it takes a few seconds to process a request and take action on my crappy 1.8ghz laptop with only 4gb of RAM, but it basically does everything I use Alexa for. This announcement is just encouraging me to build a better server with an esp32 satellite.

Great…the Flying Spaghetti Monster just got it’s own version of Satan.

Obligatory “Real users use Hannah Montana Linux” post.

Think of Luke as a religious reformist in a way, rejecting the institutions of a religion while not rejecting the religion itself. He was Martin Luther with a lightsaber.

So he’s a splitter…

But seriously, we all know that Lucas was flying by the seat of his pants writing the sequels and that his wife is the real hero of Star Wars. Everything that came afterwards was created by someone else. In the end Lucas’s story, Luke still used dark side powers. He called himself “Jedi”, but he was simply a Force user with wild ideas about the past. There were no strictly light side users or dark side users anymore. There was simply the Force. If you want to take extended canon into account, Yoda even stated this when he destroyed the last of the Jedi archives. He understood that balance could only be truly restored by letting go of the past.

And everyone will still call it Twitter.

What he intended and what he showed us are two different things. By the end of ROTJ, there were no more Sith and no real Jedi left. Luke called himself a Jedi, but didn’t really follow the strict rules and didn’t completely shun the dark side. He simply used it without anger. At that point, balance was truly restored.

Wanted to play some games, didn’t have money but I did know someone that knew someone that knew someone that ran a BBS that had some pirated games.

Yes, I’m that old.

And that’s exactly what happened. Jedi tried to eliminate the Sith, the balance was lost, the Sith created the Choose One to bring back balance to the force, a whole lot of death and destruction ensued, and balance was restored.

We had plastic cutting boards that covered the entire length of the counter that would become stained and dirty through the day despite being wiped down after almost every order. And since sanitization is vitally important at a restaurant, they needed to be cleaned somehow. The boards would be rinsed and wiped down every morning before use.

And if that doesn’t do it, try the trick I learned for cleaning the cutting boards at Subway. Lay down paper towel over stain, pour straight bleach on the paper. Let it stand overnight. The paper keeps the bleach in place and it won’t dry as fast. A little harsh, but it works.

Decimate my fapping addiction? I think you mean exacerbate…

I quit every single weekday!
