That sentiment they manufactured is exactly what I was, apparently inexpertly, lampooning.

I'm thinking I got a couple copies of the dna that makes these, and a dna gap of whatever was supposed to be next in line. My virtual copy of the world around me is detailed down to the milimeter, which, according to everyone else I know, is "not normal". Comes in real handy when parking a car in a tight spot or cluttered garage. Or navigating a crowd while reading a book. But I definitely suck to a similar degree at lots of other things, lol.

My particular gaps and duplicates worked out to still be kind of useful, but I work with alot of people who got a different result from their grab bag of assorted dna sequencing mishaps. My job is basically to make sure they can still enjoy as many aspects of their life as possible, and luckily, that is pretty enjoyable for me.

Hehe yeah, "Sure, you could buy perfect diamonds grown in lab conditions that are way prettier than anything we could offer for way cheaper, or you could buy our authentically dirty or broken diamonds to -prove- you paid way more money to anyone that looks close enough to notice. Won't they be jealous of how rich you were".

Wait, why is the fork in her mouth at that point if neither of the desserts have been touched yet? Just putting the bare fork in her mouth as a tease?

And in that other scene he made The Deep eat an octopus he was friends with.

Edit: Err, maybe I have him confused with another guy.

Edit 2: It's hard to tell if it was a prediction, or if Trump watched the show and got ideas.

If you just mean a steam controller as in The steam controller, it should already work. If you mean Vive or Valve VR controllers, then yeah. Or any of the meta touch controllers, those are everywhere at this point and easy to buy separately from a headset if you don't already have some.

Edit: ah, most of my questions would of course have been answered by actually reading it...

Yeah, but kind of a weird choice for first pick. Already not alot of PSVR2, and even fewer that have bought the dongle to use it for PCVR... how much crossover is there with PSVR2 owners and Apple Vision owners? I don't even think sony sells just PSVR2 controllers separately, though you'd have to hope something like this would finally change that.

Just weird when there are cheaper, more easily accessible and more widely manufactured options that can already be bought individually.

That's awesome, I'm not in California, but as someone that would qualify for that, and instead had to settle for a shitty E-bike at half that price... anyone that can take advantage of that, very much please do. If you need to modify the bike, or look into bikes with accessibility features, that is also an option. My sister is 400 pounds, and we found an E-bike she could have used, but there was no way she could afford it, but at a 2000$ discount, it would have been very viable at the time. I can't imagine how much different her life would be now had we been able to get her a bike back then.

Just know that E-bike doesn't have to mean 2 wheels and a tiny seat, there are alot of options, and 2000 dollars is generous enough that it can still cover a wide variety of increased price bikes for different accessibility needs.

I think the point is that she was there specifically to confront him about it. If you plan on confronting someone, it's safer for you to do so on neutral ground, so the penalty of anyone escalating the confrontation to something physical is the same. No one is protected or at more risk. Although, of course, if the person you want to confront has more money, they will always be at more advantage. But no sense tipping it even more in their favor.

That's awesome. Buncha nerds, hehe. I miss when games were made by a handful of friends, sure sometimes it meant they leaned a little too heavily on a mechanic that only played well in their opinion and stuff like that, the upsides were worth it though.

"Despite a ramp being available, staff presumed Ms Landre didn't want one"

How is that just one throwaway sentence under one of the images and not explained in any more detail. What does that mean? How available? Why did they assume she wouldn't want it? Does she know a ramp was available?

In trials, it has consistently boosted productivity. More people need it in order to be productive than the amount that choose to be less productive once they won't die from not being productive.

Also in trials, it has not costed more than current social programs in those areas. Clearing redundancies and red tape accounted for enough cost cuts to make UBI overall cost a similar amount or less than what all the various programs with all their various overhead costed all added together.
