Retired SWE. I still make little games, visualizations and sounds.

I read old sci fi and watch old anime, read X posts and occasionally respond.

He's just thought of a real, solid plan to turn his life around as he falls to sleep.

Have him wake up the next morning.

@Mark___Taylor "they find it interesting when something is explained to them, not condescending"

wow, perfectly stated

[just bob @just_bob]

@elonmusk @DannyLimanseta Yeah, i love 2d pixel games. I keep waiting for grok to be good enough to give me sprites in my exact requested dimensions, like i need main dude running in 32x64 pixels.

[just bob @just_bob]

@SethDillon ...again.

[just bob @just_bob]

@The_Epic_Mike I preferred SNES

[just bob @just_bob]

@uncledoomer It doesn't work the other way around either. You just can't tell.

[just bob @just_bob]

@unusual_whales "Older people have acquired more wealth than younger people"

yes

@QTRBlackGarrett I stood up and clapped (okay not literally) at the end of V for Vendetta when I realized that Weaving was never going to take the mask off, not even once.

Which of course is even more poignant for V as he even states directly that who is under the mask is no longer who he is.

@ChrisMartzWX Tautological.

They are cuss words because they offend. If no one got offended no one would bother using them.

@Oilfield_Rando I saw it in the theater.

Had seen Van Damme's Street Fighter earlier in the summer.

Intro booms* across the theater.

We turn to each other and say, yeah this is going to be better than Street Fighter.

@romanhelmetguy grok> give me a really cool sounding prompt that will get me a job as a prompt engineer

[just bob @just_bob]

@micsolana I don't know what this is referring to, but if it's about telling me I need to get a tattoo to get your job, there is no way in hell I would work for you.

Talk about a red flag.

@awstar11 I feel like we can come up with some good counters for this stupidity, like--

Those morons also told us to eat mold spores to cure strep throat!

[just bob @just_bob]

@AlexHollings52 I've read multiple sci fi books where a species doesn't have any senses to notice the stars--no sight, live underwater, etc-- and so therefor never get the urge to leave the planet.

[just bob @just_bob]

grok gave me this. Is it accurate @SpaceX?

If so, pretty cool comparisons.

[just bob @just_bob]

@RazorFist I wanted to like it. But my son and I agreed after the first ep that there was nothing really there to come back for.

[just bob @just_bob]

@NicholeDelly 250k for 18 months of work in 1999 is pretty damn good.

Adjust for inflation, that’s like 480k today.

Seems to me his only problem was buying a big ole movie star house and then getting a job that didn't cover it.

[just bob @just_bob]

@Erdayastronaut so many replies asking how they would bring it back to US??

it's currently floating in the ocean. all continents are connected by ocean. am i missing something?

[just bob @just_bob]

@NerkNews @ManletThorin "we"?

Yeah, that person was definitely on the team that originally developed Warcraft, the RTS game of war skirmishes between Humans and Orcs.

[just bob @just_bob]

@micsolana agree on timeline.

but when I've clicked on a user's profile, it's nice to see just what they've posted.
