One of the zippers on my backpack failed and while I managed to fix it I suppose I’m now in the market for a new one. Does anyone have recommendations?
Primary requirement is that it has to fit a 17 inch laptop and have meaningful capacity beyond that.
This is bad. A part of the southernization of America. Why is there so much space under the roof and yet outdoors?
I can see my future as a 2010s retvrnposter and I don’t like it
Korean society: so how are people going to receive old age pensions if everyone in the country is old?
Korean government: well, we, uh
Americans coming around the corner with a literal truckload of money: Are you guys the people who make RAM?
@citrini What it means for the Korean economy and people when Samsung and SK Hynix are about to pay $430 BILLION in taxes in FY26-28.

Readers of the previous thread will have guessed most of my route but anyways, it starts at Washington/Wells with all the loop stations. My train is the one in 7 minutes, it’s seemingly 4 minutes early, which is likely to just be a +4 minutes penalty. Not the best start…
Good morning everyone! I’m going to be attempting the CTA all stations challenge today! Longtime followers will know that I have tried to do this before, getting as close as 8 minutes away from the 8-hour 58-minute record. (thread, 1/many)
@GregorStocks lmfao
i assure you though it was the same stopwatch time, its just that if you open the ios clock app after not opening it for a while theres a 50/50 chance the stopwatch has a pointer error
i had to do some googling on this and its literally the dumbest thing in the world
aaaaand that’s the game! 8:20:39
a record by 27 minutes, which I think nets out to like a 4% improvement.
It feels pretty good to have actually done the thing this time.
UChicago announced today that it had partnered with AI company Anthropic to give students, faculty, and staff access to Claude Enterprise services on a rolling basis starting in July. All University community members will have access by fall quarter. Story to come.
@MagusGenji@MostlyMonkey you’re missing the fact that if not for hpmor people would just not be having the thoughts
more rationalism is good, or at least better than whatever tf everyone else does
