This will only increase until there is sufficient backlash or, god forbid, Government oversight. These CEOs are getting hooked on the concept of being paid continuously for the same widget. Not only will these services get more predatory, but subscription models will continue to proliferate even into unlikely and surprising places.

That’s my official end of year, forward looking, very lukewarm take for 2024.

That’s a new name for me. I dedicate this evening’s rabbit trail expedition to you.

Anyone who is watching City Nerd or NotJustBikes should be watching Climate Town.

As a homeschooled kid, I usually had the opposite problem. Mispronounced so much shit.

I don’t think that is Imran Khan in the photo.

Congratulations. That is not easy to do!

I just wrapped up a delightful trip with my bride of 20 something years and got a job offer for a different position in my company during the trip.

It was a practically perfect trip, but I’m also very excited to go home because I have 4 more days of vacation left and I can’t wait go be reunited with my cats, and relax around the house for a few days.

Someone needs to connect these scientists with this mom.

Agreed. I’m hoping she is staying mum to avoid fucking up fund raising for now, but we will see.

Khan is such a fucking badass.

I guess it is a good thing that this is seen as a problem worthy of addressing. I tend to comment more than I would have on reddit, as a means of just driving up activity and engagement on this comparatively low traffic alternative, and so I will definitely go in for some low effort joke cracking just to get the ball rolling sometimes. Maybe that’s not as needed anymore.

How embarassing for you that you aren’t able to pick up Trump’s expertly delivered sarcasm.

No need to make it personal. I am doing my best.

I bought 7 Days to Die about a week ago and put it on my Steamdeck right before a transcontinental flight, and since I started it on that flight, I haven’t played much of anything else.

I don’t know why but it’s kind of perfect for me right now, right between Ark and Project Zomboid and I feel like I have a lot of control over the pace of the game. Its nice.

I’m not sure clicking that link helped me understand this frankly bonkers photo any better.

In think ‘shrewd’ is probably the word, even if using it ironically.

Its always the ones you most suspect.

Mentally swapping the urge to be hydrated for the urge to be full was a game changer for me, and I wish there was one cool trick I could share but it was trial and error for me.

Not since 2008, did I miss anything?

I sense a back story

Thank you! Have a good one.
