I know it's a shitpost but it's real advice. Far to often people will try to 'make up' time by driving faster or more aggressive. So not only are you stressing yourself out by leaving too late, your now stressing out everyone near you in the road watching you be a jackass.

He was also an inspiration to me when I was a kid growing up watching Star Trek. He got to work on all the really cool stuff. Engineering basically solved every problem, and if they couldn't sickbay did.

From my experience, the cop in the school is probably the most guilty person. Back when I was in high school, the cop never stopped a single fight or a single theft. He did target the non-white kids, confiscate their weed, and then sell it to the white preppy kids. When the precinct bought a mustang for him (why...) he decided to "showoff" and then went speeding down the middle lane (the turn lane) when school got out but didn't slow down in time so when he got to the corner (tight curve, probably thought the car would magically handle it) he hit sand (it was early spring, so sand due to snow) and lost control, jumped the curb and crashed it into a fence and sat there in shame as students he almost hit drove by. He was just a few cars away from me when it happened, I got to watch it firsthand.

School was less safe, legitimately, because there was a cop on site.

I believe it's some sort of clip editor. I have no idea the name though

Indie games pump Valve’s stock, popular or not—they should get some profit sharing even if they don’t sell IMO but that’s just me. Like a community dividend. Unfortunately, not too many people demand more from Valve.

Hopefully, by "stock" you mean available supply of games and not stock as in the stock market, since Valve is a private company and isn't traded.

As for profit sharing... no. That would incentivise even more porn AI slop games to be dumped on there, as if that wasn't already a problem. The "content farms" that are just going to churn out crap... would get all of the community share. And large companies would very likely ignore Steam going forward because again, potentially less profit. Unless it comes from Valves share, which that doesn't make a lot of business sense to give up revenue in order to pay those who weren't successful, a "participation award" of a paycheck.

One time, not only did the person try the door, I yell "OCCUPIED".... then pounded on the door, then tried the handle again... somehow immediately got the attention of an employee who just fucking unlocked the door. And I'm just standing there, dick in hand like "WHAT THE FUCK"... and they were like, "oh sorry, we didn't think anyone was in here". Couldn't wait one god damn minute, cause I had just walked in.

People take the "extrovert" and "introvert" way to far. Instead of being an observation of behavior, they take it to extremes, try turning it into a "quirky" personality and then role-play it everywhere. All due to social media. They talk about it like people who believe in astrology talk about astrology. And then they pretend they're super happy, when they're actually miserable and depressed but refuse to think their "introvert" persona is the issue.

The uniget is a front end for multiple package managers, with a GUI front. But Chocolatey is still a separate thing, same with winget. But the GUI gives you an easier front for using those package managers without remembering commands.

When it comes to WingetUI vs UniGet... I had to look that up. My guess is WingetUI is abandoned. And was a fork of UniGet

This repo hasn't been touched in 3 years https://github.com/rumplin/WingetUI This website https://winget-ui.org/index.html#faq I have no idea if it's the official one, but it doesn't link to the open source project it says that backs it. Which is sketchy. So UniGet seems to be the actual official project that's moving forward.

My guess is UniGet is a bigger project, supporting multiple package managers for multiple OS (supports Windows/Mac/Linux).

If you find a 7th one and you use them in the correct order, I think a wormhole will appear. It's probably near some supercapacitor.

That, or if you figure out the correct sequence, 2 people from the Air Force are going to show up and offer you a job you can't refuse.

What ended all human life... was it a lack of food? Nope. Was it war? Shockingly, no. Twas global warming. Despite decades of warning, the humans marched forward to their own extinction. Year over year, found more efficient ways to accelerate their demise. Many even cheered it on! Their greatest invention was "AI". A largely useless bit of tech that ruined ecosystems and pushed the planet to a point it couldn't support humans.

Was it preventable? Could the humans have survived? Yes. But it wasn't profitable to do that. They believed it better to go extinct rich than live not rich.

You're not wrong. Swatting in that area is going to be so easy. United States police force has already shown for years now that if AI says anything they'll just go with it and not question it. So if someone lives in the area and you want them 'dealt with' by the police, it's going to be very easy. And the police aren't going to look into it or hold themselves accountable. And the AI won't be questioned or removed. If this goes large scale you can just make an API... Don't like someone on twitch, well when you know it there will be an app for that...

This is some cherry picking... This is how fake news spreads, by being deliberately deceitful. I'm just going to copy paste this list that can easily be found on Reddit that has over 30 entries.

Avengers: The Kang Dynasty

Inhumans (movie)

Gotg spin offs

Runaways (movie)

Iron man 4

Ghost Rider (show)

Damage Control (show)

Captain Britain and the Black Knight (show)

New warriors (show)

Most Wanted (show)

Warriors three

Okoye (show)

Eternals (show)

Hawkeye (movie)

The incredible Hulk 2 (movie)

Daughter of the Dragon (show)

Avengers: The Kang Dynasty (it was announced in July 2022, but due to poor performance of Ant man and the wasp quantummania, and the case against Jonathan majors, it was scrapped in July 2024).

Inhumans ( it was supposed to release in November 2018)

Mantis and Drax

Groot and Rocket (multiple gotg spin offs were in development by James gunn. And we all know what happened to James gunn. First he was fired by Disney and later when he came back, he was hired by DC.)

Runaways ( A runaways movie was also in development for years since 2008 in marvel Studios and was supposed to release in the phase 3. And in 2016, it was turned into a tv series and was released in 2017.)

Iron man 4 ( There were discussions for a forth instalment in Iron man franchise and it might have been released in phase 3, but due to his heavily part of Captain America Civil War and Marvel's focus on Avengers Infinity war, it didn't happen)

Ghost rider ( A ghost rider with Robbie Rayes was in development under Adventures into fear banner, same as helstrom. But marvel shut down their abc studios shows and focused completely on Disney+ shows. There were also plans to release more shows under Adventures into fear banner with characters like Man thing, Werewolf by night)

Damage Control ( a comedy series on Damage control was also in development and was set to release in 2016)

Most Wanted ( it was a spin off of Agents of shield show and would feature characters from Agents of shield)

Warriors three ( there were talks for a thor spin off show on warriors three)

Captain Britain and black knight ( it was in development since 2017, and auditions for this show had started in 2018, and every years we hear that it's in development again, but never confirmed, so it's not happening now).

Okoye ( an okoye show was also in development and also a wakanda show, but was cancelled when marvel decided to focus on quality over quantity again)

Eternals (show) ( before movie, it was supposed to be a tv series and it would have been better I think. It was in development since 2015 and was officially confirmed in 2017 and was cancelled in 2018 and turned into a movie.)

Hawkeye (movie) ( before Hawkeye show, Hawkeye was supposed to get a movie but was turned into a show, I would personally like a Hawkeye movie released between Avengers Infinity war and Endgame based on what he was doing during The blip as Ronin)

Trevor Slattery ( yeah it sounds weird but true after Shang Chi , Destin was developing a show on Trevor Slattery, but was cancelled when he got charge of Wonder man and he integrated those ideas into Wonder man. And it worked very well)

The incredible Hulk 2 ( it was also supposed to happen but due to the differences between Edward Norton and Marvel studios, Edward Norton was fired and due to the complex Hulk movie rights, marvel didn't focus to make a Hulk movie. But there's always some rumors that marvel got Movie rights for Hulk back, and they are developing a Hulk movie, but these rumors always stays rumors.)

Edgar Wright's Ant man ( before Peyton Reed, Edgar Wright was in charge for an Ant man movie for years, but since Edgar wanted to keep Ant man out of the mcu, marvel hired Peyton for this film, but there were still so many plot points which stayed with Ant man, that's why Ant man 1 was the best in its franchise ).

In early days of Marvel studios(2008-10), there were multiple movies in development. Cable, Iron Fist, Luke Cage, Dazzler, Ka zarr movies were in development too and if made they would have been a part of mcu.

Daughter of the Dragon ( in the defenders saga, a show featuring Colleen wing and Misty Knight was gonna happen. But marvel cancelled all abc Netflix shows).

New warriors ( it was supposed to be a part of the young adult television series which included Runaways and Cloak and Dagger. Even the Pilot episode for this show was shot. But got cancelled.)

The Hy-Vee near me, used to make the best fried chicken sandwich in town. Possibly some of the best fried chicken I've had from anywhere. I would regularly get a fried chicken sandwich. It was good because it was a fresh chicken breast, coated and deep fried right there. It wasn't some Sysco frozen patty. And it was priced pretty well too to be honest.

New Management (I think at the corporate level) from my understanding, it's not fresh chicken anymore. I would guess it's maybe a third the weight it was, the price has gone up, and it is most definitely a frozen patty.

The one section that used to do like Cafe options, stop doing spicy tenders. And no longer lets you get anything from the cold section.

So I've stopped going. And I'm not the only one. Because the Hy-Vee also did burgers. But the burgers are also smaller and when I swing by and I see that there's a lot of burgers both chicken and beef just sitting there no one touching them. Quantity and quality went down price went up.
