Did you know that if you took a blue whale and laid it lengthwise across a basketball court, the game would be canceled?

I watched a video earlier of a robot hot dog machine fucking up monumentally while trying to dispense a hot dog, and then I watched this video and man, it really is going to be a long time before we have to worry about robots taking all the jobs.

Any given second he could go mad postal

Pornography was doing a fine job of that. Naked deep fakes of actual people who are actual minors should not be desensitized.

Let's not discount the fact that the landlord is friends with a guy who is a domestic abuser and is in possession of a gun he shouldn't have.

So it sounds like the landlord is already friends with a cop.

Joking (not joking?) aside. These sound like the kind of people who will make your life hell for a very long time, weather or not the law is on your side.

Get out.

Wife and I bought an apartment in April 2018, great deal, great rates.

The we had a kid in 2023.

We have a second coming in 2025

We need to buy a house, and have no idea how the fuck we are going to make it happen. We're not even that bad off, we both do pretty damn well, but we are about to be facing $4k/month in childcare, and even with the huge pile of down payment money we have saved, we wouldn't be able to afford the mortgage.

We still own our apartment though, which is better than renting. I keep telling myself "We will figure it out, people have done more with less", but man... If this was like 5 or 6 years ago we would have been living large.

I always look at things like these and are tempted to buy them. There is so much cool audio gear out there that I feel like could "up my game", but then I realize I have no game and already own a bunch of fun production gear that collects dust because I don't have the time or energy to make music anymore.

I considered selling some of my stuff, but want to hang on to it just in case any of my kids pick up the hobby and all my stuff is cool and "retro" at that point. Shit it is almost already cool and retro - Akai MPC1000, Korg Electribe SX ESX1, Korg KP3, Dsi MoPho, a couple other bits and bobs.

But yeah, always tempted to buy cool new awesome shit that I would never use.

Honestly wouldn't even be that difficult to build. Windows is just a GUI for Powershell anyway.

I'm glad it never came to an ultimatum for me, but at one point in my life it was like

1.Work

2.Sleep

3.Social Life

4.World of Warcraft

Pick 3.

I chose work, social life, and sleep. Things turned out well for me as opposed to some friends who went deep into WoW. These dudes would literally show up to get-togethers with their gaming laptop because it was raid night. Or even worse, miss out on sleep or call out of work so they could raid.

Video games can be a fun and healthy hobby, and shit they still are to me, but some things need to take priority.

It hooks up to the smoothie blender.
