  • That's because what you're searching for is what you definitely want, so they know you're likely click/buy it. But if throw a bunch of crap that you maybe might want before you get to it, maybe you'll buy some of that too. It's like how supermarkets throw a bunch of junk food in a checkout lane, maybe you'll get tempted while you're forced to stand there even though you just wanted to buy laundry detergent.

  • I mean "The Thing" wasn't detected for seven years. It's always possible to miss a listening device.

  • Play classic WoW offline on the deck with NPC players

    Jump

  • I dunno, while (most of the time) I liked chatting with people in MMORPGs when it came to quests or raids it really quickly broke down. It always seemed to end up being a game of "Oh Bob's gonna be here in fifteen minutes we just gotta wait" or "Fred's just fucked up his role and now we're looking at a party wipe".

    IMO as a chat room most MMORPG's work fine, or as a casual hang out with friends they're fine too. But when you get to "You need 10+ people to do this dungeon" they really stopped being fun.

  • China's politicians are no fools, they can see the US just snubbed a good chunk of Africa with it's tariffs and the abrupt cut off of USAID. Now they're swooping in grab up all the power and influence the Trump administration spurned.

  • Trump says he'll place 25% tariff on autos from the EU, accusing it of not complying with trade deal

  • Reminds me of the time I got Gemini to spit out part of it's initial prompt and a good part of it was talking about when and when not to display LaTeX code:

    Style and formatting LaTeX formatting You can use LaTeX formatting mathematical and scientific notations whenever appropriate. Enclose all LaTeX using '$' or '$$' delimiters. NEVER generate LaTeX code in a 'latex block' unless the user explicitly asks for it. DO NOT use LaTeX for regular prose (e.g., resumes, letters, essays, CVs, etc.).
