Anyone else thinking of Wapol and the Isshi-20?

Something like this? I imagine the horse part is the dominant genes

I’m thinking this as well, mildly uncomfortable about something

That isn’t storing stock metal, then, it’s just hoarding. It doesn’t matter the condition, or purpose, or any deals. It’s just accumulating -stuff-. It possibly being used for xyz is just superfluous

I guess “hoarding” is the answer I expected, not (they think) it can potentially be useful.

Doesn’t sound like they are actually using it. How much stock metal do you need to store if your consumption of the stock metal is (near) zero? Don’t think that theory holds weight here.

He added: “I’ve traveled to a country in every continent, and I’ve never not struggled with public transport in the first day. Is it really that odd that Europeans didn’t know the route to the MetLife?”

No, but it is weird when the locals say “that’s a bad idea”, and the response is “nuh-uh, you just don’t understand walking!”

It’s really stupid that there is no reasonable, walkable route between those locations. But that’s the reality there.

I had a teacher with the surname “Sizemore”

It’s worse than we thought, they don’t even remember their own user name…

It is imperative that the branch not be damaged

Search for your specific model, it may or may not be this link, but for a Zenbook 14 this came up after searching “ASUS Zenbook 14 support”.

You’ll need to format a flash drive and save the BIOS update to it, then boot into BIOS and run the update. For many laptops, instead of saving a BIOS update to the drive you may need to run a setup tool (usually a .exe, so may need compatibility tool) and boot to the USB.

As for frequency, just periodically check the notes for the BIOS releases and determine whether to update based on the features or patches in it. Not necessary to update for everyone one, and many security updates will be more for servers than general purpose personal computers, but that’s up to your own risk analysis.

You could almost say, a Forever War

You mean the cop, or the guy trying his hardest to kill his passenger?

The World was always what I wanted in an MMO, but now I probably want something more like Log Horizon

Creative isn’t just traditional art and drawing, there’s no way you’ve tried everything creative and everything makes you feel shame after. Poetry, writing, painting miniatures, origami, flower decorating, 3d modeling, programing, crocheting, macrame, pixel art, bead art, stained glass, mozaic, and so much more. I know “don’t worry about the end result” doesn’t lessen the feeling of shame, but instead focus on something super simple and approachable for a beginner to accomplish in whatever creative endeavor you engage in. Start small, build from there.

They need to offer more prayers to the Machine Spirit

I think they might be a descendent of Lord Timothy Dexter

Thank you, never would have seen a rooster without that tip.

There are also plenty of videos of people slipping on ice and eating it over and over again trying to stand up. I don’t know the circumstances of this story to say definitely nothing fishy happened, or definitely something fishy did happen, but drowning in shallow water, in itself, is not necessarily suspicious.

Wait until next month when OpenAI has a press release about demolishing a children’s hospital for a new data center…

I use Antennapod to listen to podcasts, but previously had used Google Play Music and Spotify.

Finding new podcasts is usually through recommendation. Friends have recommended several podcasts, podcasters that I like have had collaborations or recommendations for other, similar podcasts, and I’ve picked up a couple from similar discussions as this one. Once a member of a live play podcast was promoting it where I work and I gave that a listen for a while. I don’t typically use a service or discovery tool to find new podcasts, though. Sometimes I’ll search a topic and see if something pops up, but usually I see one I recognize having heard about and pick that one.

Three recommendations of my own are:

Mission to Zyxx - An improvised science fiction sitcom following a team of ambassadors as they attempt to establish diplomatic relations with planets in the remote and chaotic Zyxx Quadrant… better known as the “ass end of space.”

The have five seasons of their original run, and have recently started a new loosely connected series. A friend discovered this one, not sure how they found it, and we all listened to it together. Tons of fun if you have other people you can convince to listen along!

The Constant: A History of Getting Things Wrong - A podcast about exactly what it says it is: examining the bad ideas, mistakes and accidents that misshaped our world.

This was one of the podcasts I found through a similar discussion as this one. I’m a huge fan of weird and strange history, and Mark delivers. They are usually independent of other episodes, unless numbered, so feel free to hop in anywhere. I started from the beginning, and the quality has noticeably gone up, but I never had an issue with the earlier episodes.

History for Weirdos - A deep dive into the strange obscure and relentlessly entertaining portions of human history. Married couple and armchair historians, Stephanie & Andrew, discuss the often overlooked parts of humanity. Whether the subject is an obscure event that has confused historians for centuries or a historical figure that doesn’t get enough credit, we have you covered.

This is one of the podcasts I discovered by searching “weird history”. They have started taking longer breaks recently, while other things in life have started taking more and more time. They cover wide swaths of history from Ancient Greece to Prohibition. They are (or used to be, haven’t checked recently) fairly active on social media as well, with pictures relevant to podcast episodes, or from trips they take to locations they’ve talked about.
