Only 1000 times? It's interesting that there's such a bias there but it's a computer. Ask it 100,000 times and make sure it's not a fluke.

I've got 110-130 dollars that says people will buy it anyway and the publisher will make a fortune.

Sometimes that even happens to me. And the reverse happens to me with Star Trek V. I remember it being better than it actually is.

More bowls obviously. Now even local restaurants get the opportunity to sponsor a bowl. The fight for absolutely last place between the worst 2 teams is now the Chuck-e-Cheese bowl and it gets more viewership than the national championship game.

In addition, local high schools and sports complexes get to bid for these bowls. And there is an exhibition match before the national championship where the last place ranked team has to play the Harlem Globetrotters at baseball.

There's a new proof of concept malware that when an AI processes it causes arbitrary code execution and spreads itself to everyone on the victims email list.

This requires no input from the user

Yes please put more of this crap into every crevice of the OS.

This seems like it might be a perfect use case for Tailscale. The open source version of the control plane is called Headscale but you'd have to host it in a vps somewhere if you wanted to use it.

Cut out the middleman and get some rollerblade wheels for the chair with sleeve bearings. They go over short carpet and hardwood floor and don't cause any damage.

I never knew that about TOS but it now makes a lot of things make a lot of sense.

Also everyone beware, it's a TV Tropes link. Maybe save this post and come back to it on a long car ride...
