Me looking for a widget in random place in my house: "Oh hey there's one of my screwdrivers that I've looking for, for months." Immediately sets it aside in random place and continues searching for widget. "Don't worry. I'll remember to put that screwdriver up later." I tell myself...

Just bend the leads over and jam it into a PLCC socket. Problem solved.

The reason is years and years ago the EPA formula set some goals based on speculation that future technology would keep up pace. And we can't achieve those goals. But car manufacturers can increase the footprint of their vehicles to move the goal post.

Yes. Basically someone made a formula years and years ago about what they believed new cars mpg would be based on very generous speculations. And it's never been adjusted. The formula is based on the a bunch of variables but ends up boiling down to altering the footprint.

Sounds like some good book recommendations. I like black comedy and scifi. John Dies at the End is one that I've heard of before. Thanks!

I would kill to just have a simple app to play dominoes on my phone with no ads and no BS. I almost found one. It didn't have ads between games, but it did have a stupid micro transaction scheme or online play or something. Grumble. Grumble.

This might just drive me to start developing apps. I can probably do the basic stuff but I don't know where to begin programming the cpu opponent...

There used to be an entire subreddit that basically did this. There were hundreds of fake users each posting and commenting. No real users were allowed to post or comment. I loved it because they would sort of mirror what was currently on the front page but in much more ridiculous way.

Edit: It was called subreddit simulator. And the creator said it used Markov chains. So no need to use bad prompted LLMs. Just do it the "old fashioned" chatbot way.
