Get a scraper/brush and keep it in your car.

Use it before you start driving. Don’t just clear a “porthole” to see out of. Clear the snow off the roof too. If you don’t it’ll fly off and hit the guy behind you or it’ll slide down over your windshield.

If you don’t have your scraper, a credit card will work in a pinch for the windshield.

Don’t pour hot water over your windshield to melt ice. At best it just doesn’t work, at worst you’ll crack the windshield

If you’re new to driving on icy/snowy roads, get a sense for how/when your car will break traction. Find an empty parking lot, accelerate a bit and then brake increasingly harder until you start to slide. This will give you a feel for the conditions under which you’ll lose traction to brake. This is also a good way to learn how to recover from a slide.

smh Apple playing 5th dimensional chess again making stupid design decisions to get the all important lemmy advertising for free.

Tim apple is truly a genius

They were talking about warehouse workers, not corporate employees.

No rank and file US-based employees at Amazon are getting years of severance. They don’t do that.

Kirkland anything (nearly anyway)

Firefox can do without Google being the default fine. What they can’t do without is all the money that Google pays them to make Google be the default.

You know, I don’t disagree with your ultimate point. But if you look through this comment chain you should recognize that the way you chose to make it is:

1. Needlessly antagonistic, and (therefore)
2. Not very effective

If you wanted to convince anyone or provoke interesting discussion I think you failed.

In the future, you should just make your argument/statement instead of asking “clever” bad faith questions.

It’s a race to the bottom.

Yes, you can decline to opt in, but the guy next to you (or the guy next to him) will opt in and sell his AI voice package for less than it costs to employ a real person. And unlike a real person, the AI voice package can work 24/7 on 10,000 productions at the same time.

If anyone can opt in, then no one can really opt out.

Is this a good thing? For the bottom line of the people making the games, sure. And maybe 3% of that savings will trickle down to the consumer.

But it’s pretty bad for the voice actors.

The board has given no real reasoning for why they fired him. Until they do, there’s no reason anyone should consider this anything other than an internal power struggle that resulted in a coup.

And Sam didn’t have a job anymore. Why shouldn’t he go work for Microsoft? He was pushed out of OpenAI, is he contractually bound to never do something different?

Did musk hire expertise? Or do the actual engineering?

It sounds like your actual argument is that neither he nor they founded the company.

I guess it just sprang into existence on its own…

Agreed. I actually can’t even remember if I finished it or just set it down one day and forgot to come back to it.

The story was… Sort of interesting? The art direction was just way ahead of the gameplay, which was a shame.

Ok u win. I didn’t want to admit it, but I guess because it wasnt a festival for peace it’s no big deal

Any theories on why ppl are getting all upset about this?

Maybe they havent heard you explain that it wasnt quite a festival for peace they attacked but a slightly different kind of festival?

What’s the recipe bro?

I live 11 miles from work and it takes me 30-40 min to drive in. 50 miles could be 90-120 min easy.

That guy is either a troll or is so naive it’s hilarious.

He’s happy to argue that Ukrainians should follow some sort of Marquess of Queensberry rules of war while Russia targets apartment buildings with missiles.

Just down vote him and move on.
