Like imagine Neo grabbing the red pill and then he chokes on it because it’s too big

These standard antibiotics are such horse pills

Just had a virtual urgent care appointment (ear infection flare) and had the nicest gay dude prescribe me some meds.

These batteries I got with an eBay purchase are closer to achieving AGI than any LLM

USPS claims my package just arrived in New Jersey and will be delivered to me (in in Arizona) today, did they invent the transporter

How to fix excessive noise

@foone it’s bizarre and makes no sense and I love it so much

@AlSweigart wish eBay would crack down on this but they’re more concerned about their profits then the quality of their platform

Periodic reminder that despite relentless Chrome propaganda, a lot of innovation in web browsers comes from Mozilla and Apple.

@Jason_Dodd Specifically looking for the HP Photosmart c500 and the Kodak DC120 Zoom.

This seems simple enough! 👀

@Jason_Dodd obviously, but “condition” has specific guaranteed meanings on eBay, and “used” means it works fine—I’m complaining about sellers trying to be weird for no reason

Seriously I’ve been trying to buy a specific old digital camera for years and every single time people list it as working and I get it and it doesn’t work.

I always get a full refund (eventually).

Like do these sellers think people won’t test what they buy? Do they enjoy making a loss and wasting their time?

eBay seller selling camera as “tested working” and says they can’t show me a picture of the battery compartment and can’t test because “they don’t have batteries” (camera takes normal AA batteries).

sure Jen

The same people insisted for decades that building software is exactly like building a house

Honestly if you want an amazing retro digital camera with all the tricks, get a Sony Cybershot DSC-F828.

It's a 8MP camera from 2003 with 7x optical zoom and funky chicken 4-color Super HAD CCD plus you can do infrared without modifying the camera.

@hp @foone too expensive 😅
