The defense team presses Lairmore on whether the sandwich really 'exploded.' They return to the photo of the sandwich and wrapper on the ground. "That sandwich hasn't exploded at all, has it?" defense asks. "It looks like a little bit is coming out towards the bottom," Lairmore replies.

What I love about Any Austin's videos are the exploration of how deep a lot of these topics are. To think that folks making a video game, already an impossible task, are able to dig deep into so many different topics and incorporate them into their pretend worlds. Always amazing.

How many times am I going to have to uninstall co-pilot from @vscode.dev? Too many times, already, and more coming, I assume. It seems the plan is to keep making it a dependency of other, non co-pilot, plugins to force install, even if it's completely unrelated.

In the @sidmeier.bsky.social biography. There's a great line that I feel highlights why gen AI stuff will never be good at making anything of value. "coding is the easy part; it's like drawing a picture of something after you've excavated it. The sweat is in the digging, not the documentation."

It's a cool morning in NYC and it seems the finance guys got a new batch of grey Patagonia vests. I wonder how they feel about it, compared to the previous batch of blue.

My friend has a @live.com email they use for a lot of things. They're trying to migrate to an email they own with more control. Luckily MS lets you add an alias to a @live.com email, so you can log in with something else. If you do that, MS instantly kills the existing @live.com email.

Ok, I'm sold. I'm all in on AI now. Hopefully I can stop thinking for myself soon. Another flawless take from Alanah.

The Sun is made of massive fluffy gold pillows, and scientists want to keep it all to themselves. That's why they make up myths like Icarus and tell us lies like "it's too hot" and "it's illegal to steal a spaceship to fly directly into the sun"

Game Companies: We need to time our release window to be in the optimal spot, but not too close to other big releases. Nintendo: We are releasing eleventybillion games in spring 2026.
