Yeah, I ran some image generators on my RTX2070, and it took a solid minute at full power to do it. Sure, it’s not a crazy amount, but it’s not like it’s running on your iPhone.

Curious: what tools do you use for pixel art? I made a Playdate game, and just fooled around in GIMP, but it could have been a lot easier.

I was shocked to learn that most projectors are only 2k.

They do limit free movement though. Like the guy they pull over whose wife is going into space-labor was pulled over for leaving the city.

That’s me with United Healthcare. They charged me $80 for an annual checkup that was supposed to be free. Part of that checkup was a $14 cholesterol screening that was literally listed among the free things that came with my plan.

I contested it, they said that they reviewed my case and found nothing wrong. I escalated, which involved writing and physically mailing an appeal. They sent me the same response back that they reviewed the case and found nothing wrong.

So yes. “Fuck it” as the article says. $80 is not worth it.

From everyone according to their ability, to everyone a high speed spring loaded metal bar.

Photoshop or AI. The truck sucks on its own merits. Don’t need to make up lies.

Though you can see why someone would try to make this joke given what the bins actually look like:

McDonald’s specifically is famously a real estate company that happens to serve burgers on the side. The corporation owns all of the land that its franchises are sitting on, so they can park a restaurant on it and sell it for a profit after the land appreciates in value.

In addition to moving away from marketing directly to children, the reason a lot of fast foot restaurants are rebranding to look like grey cubes is to make the buildings more generic and therefore more valuable as commercial real estate.

We’ve all seen the local Mexican restaurant that definitely used to be a Pizza Hut. This is to avoid that.

Mckinsey is a company with over 45,000 employees.

I see this all the time, but is this person unaware of public parks?

You are correct. I was assuming they’d be more like 10-keys. Google images shows they’re usually in the phone orientation.
