Here there are like 10 self-checkouts per 1 employee and they’re just there if the machine gets confused about a weight. It’s much better, and faster than waiting in the queue for a manned checkout. I can’t imagine wanting to go backward, where’s the benefit?

Self checkouts don’t work where you are? Odd.

You mean demanding special attention rather than using the self-checkout like everyone else? Not sure I understand.

Game engine limitations, apparently. Say a thread on exactly this earlier today.

Agree it is much poorer for lacking them. It’s immersion breaking being in the far future, zipping around on an interstellar craft, yet being forced to explore slowly on foot. I really can’t even use the ship? Cmon.

A good solution 20 years ago but bluetooth and music files saved on your phone is a much nicer solution now.

You may be surprised.

Unfortunately it’s zoning that caused most of this issue. Not size. Dense residential was disallowed for not entirely un-racist reasons, so it spread out enormously instead. On top of car companies lobbying in various ways to make cars essential.

And the crumple zone is your legs, twice the use for the same space!

Jokes aside this whole thread could be summarised as ‘safety’ for the most part.

Because helping others out from under the influence of things that are making them stupid is good for the world in general.

I hope he’ll remember

It works if you ask it for small specific components, the bigger the scope of the request, the less likely it will give you anything worthwhile.

So basically you still need to know what you’re doing and how to design a script/program anyway, and you’re just using chatgpt to figure out the syntax.

It’s a bit of time-saver at times but it’s not replacing anyone in the immediate future.

Your previous comment was basically a massive industry wide conspiracy theory though, so their response of a more sensible answer to give you something a bit more concrete to go on was pretty reasonable to me.

If someone brings a new viable battery concept to market in the next few months that’ll be a hell of a year for progress.

Car companies told us man with big penis drive big truck and now we’re fucked because nobody is prepared to blink.

I tend to use price aggregators more than individual websites because we’ve reached a point with Internet transactions that you can’t really get away with being a dodgy ecommerce website. People can just file paypal issues or complain to their credit card company for help, so just go with the cheapest option and see how it goes most of the time.

The ones I use are pricerunner and pricespy. I’m EU, but I know pricespy has a NZ version, so I assume it’s global.

It seems like a lot of modern star trek doesn’t appeal to OG trekkies, but as someone who didn’t watch anything pre-Discovery, I think most of it is pretty great compared to a vast portion of current TV.

Sue lmao

They are sort of blown out of proportion when you take into account modern safety protocols.

Chernobyl and three mile island were user error, fukushima was force majeure.

Since then they’ve been piloted widely. France has about 50 reactors and a laundry list of smaller errors that we’ve since learned from.
