I’m glad I’m not the only one who immediately thought, “AI hillbilly.”

When picking a mind to emulate, it is just practical to start simple.

Is Jewish Elder a title, or are these just old jews putting on airs?

I feel like that opens up the opportunity to say they experience rapid aging in that area as well, accelerating cell divisions, right next to areas running at normal speed. Probably wouldn’t be great for the circulatory system.

It’s fun to think about

I like to imagine healing magic as almost a targeted time reversal. Otherwise, things get would get strange when people are overhealed.

My head cannon is also that repeated magical healing increases the risk of cancers and defects when it is shown as a form of natural regrowth. It’s totally worth using in combat if the alternative is death, but you risk shortening your life with repeated use. This helps explain people having sick battle scars and other wounds in most fantasy settings.

The other explanation that would make sense is that healers are exceptionally rare, but since we are heroes in these stories/games, it just doesn’t seem like it to us.

There’s a recent anime called “The Great Cleric” that addresses this slightly. People with the ability to heal may charge crazy sums, and even the knowledge of spells that could help may be financially gatekept because of the wealth generated by healing.

I’d like to see more rpgs with skilling systems based on use. Similar to what valheim and skyrim do but greatly expanded and pure. Like I don’t want a single player level or skill point bottleneck. I want silly things like eating running and jumping to scale to absurd levels. I think you should be able to be one punch man if you really go hard on hand to hand.

And because I’m a gamer, and therefore hate myself, make progress slow. I liked how slow Outward felt when I first started and how little confidence the game gave me in my character at the start.

Fallout 76 has aspects of this.

I wasn’t using the wireless functions of my router either.

I had a similar issue in my home where I ran a nighthawk router at the back of my house connected to the ATT router/modem at the front of the house. I let them run as separate networks for a long time, and that prevented anything not connected to the same router as the jellyfin server from seeing it.

I recently got my act together and switched the router to “access point mode” and the house is all 1 network now. The jellyfin server is available on everything in the house as well. After the change, I felt silly I had it the other way for years because it sure helps many of the other wifi objects in my home as well.

Their roku app is hot garbage, and there is just no excuse for it at this point. Their firetv app is significantly better.

Once ranked choice voting becomes the standard.

I wouldn’t say I’m hate watching it, but I have lots of free time in the middle of the night with an infant right now, so I watch anything even remotely interesting. This season looks like it might answer several questions for the series, but I also kinda worry about how they are going to retain the facade of scientific explanation with their magic feeling doo-dad in play.

You had the time to watch more than you did. You just wrote this novel of a post. You might make bad decisions with how you choose to use your time.

Your method for trying out a show is also unhinged. Like who literally spoils a show for themselves as a test to see if they like it? It’s unreal.

The paid service will start without ads, and then they’ll put them in just at the beginning and end for a video, then they’ll ad them in like they are now and blame rising operational costs.

The playbook has been out in the open for a while now.

It really is a joke. I remember a decade ago talking about how pirated movies were a better user experience than buying a DVD because they were making you sit through ads on the paid product before you could view it, but the pirated product just let you get to what you were watching immediately.

The whole experience is completely backward!

I also live downtown, and my primary issues are homeless stealing things off our front porch, the neighbors that think every night is a good fireworks night, and the 2 homes that previously had 6 scruffy lookin guys hanging out in front of them for months that are now in cinders.

Are the homeless people where the empty homes are? That’s the concern I have. There are really cheap empty houses throughout the country, but the homeless are congregate in large groups in some of the most expensive states/cities in the country. I dont think there are that many empty homes in San Francisco that are available for rent/purchase that are just being left empty for months at a time.

Where are people sourcing that information from?

That’s the nature of war, yes. Of course, there’s no comparison between engaging in combat with the expectation that people on both sides will die and using a weapon that the user would be in range of the fallout from.

You are projecting if you think people consider the constitution a moral prescription. It’s literally the law laid out by the people. If you would be annoyed by people using it to defend the freedom of speech and the press, then we already kinda know where your morality lies:

I’d be just as annoyed if someone used a constitution to defend something like freedom of press or freedom of speech.

Pretty sure Isreal knows not to detonate nuclear weapons on their doorstep.
