If only society had heeded my warning
offense and defense play simultaneously. You play the same diamond but the bases are reversed and the two pitchers are back to back, so there's batters on both home and 2nd.
Completely fix baseball with five words.

so thats baseball fixed. Golf is easier - you just need a defense. When a guy tees off the other golfers take positions along the green or whatever with shotguns and its shooting trap - you get two shots. If the ball is deflected, play it where it lies. If the ball is destroyed, lose a stroke. ✅

the iphone 4s was the correct size for a phone. Just whatever you can jam into that is great, idgaf about 235jiggabyte cameras or AI to tell me how much tarragon to use on my eggs. Fit it into a 4s case and we're good.
phones are thin enough, it isn't necessary to make them thinner. Lighter maybe. Just fill any extra area with more battery life. Thanks in advance
Why the fuck are you gonna release a thin ass phone that was worse than the top selling models?

There needs to be a word for this. I know "kafkaesque" exists but it kind of has the wrong flavor and also saying it makes me sound like a dork.
Wife did a gravel order from Lowe’s for me to pick up. I drive to the pick up dock. Guy with a radio comes out. I show him the order receipt. He radios inside. They tell him to tell me to tell my wife to download the app so that she can check in on it to let them know I’m here to pick up the order.

AI people keep saying "oh its just a bunch of tiny little samples of someone elses work just like human artists do all the time" but did anyone bring up the Hank Shocklee lawsuit? Because the courts decided it was illegal for a song to have a million little samples without paying the artists.

He looked so regal in that pic, I had to draw him! Hope that's OK. I'm so deeply sorry for your loss. He looks a beautiful boy who probably purred really loud 🌸☘👑

well i tried to connect the ardiuno ide to some kind of esp32 thing and it didnt immediately work so i gave up.

If anyone has a good tutorial trail for this sort of thing that'd be super. I am of course running linux, so if its not all windowsey that would be cool too.
