Technically it would be low cal compared to a normally sized calzone just because of being significantly smaller.

So reddit is bad because you can't break a subreddit's rules without getting called out? Also, sarcasm with 0 context, especially in text form, should always be assumed that it will not be interpreted as sarcasm. That title alone in the subreddit could absolutely be considered clickbait.

Pixel 6 ushered in three years? I did some searching and it looks like every Pixel all the way back to Pixel 1 received three full years of updates. Is it just the additional two years of security updates that's new?

Kermit the frog catching major strays in this thread. Don't do him dirty like that.

LOL I totally identify with this. I don't remember upvoting, but it looks like I already did. Just un-upvoted and re-upvoted for good measure.

Back in the ole Reddit days of ereyestermonth I had a habit of closing my reddit app of choice on my phone, and then as a reflex immediately open that same app back up.

The issue has evolved for me on Lemmy. I have two Lemmy apps on my home screen. I was using Voyager before Sync was released and then I started using Sync. But I also kept Voyager on my home screen since Sync didn't support posts when the beta was originally released. But now I'm too lazy to remove it. I still like Voyager anyway.

You see where this is going. I'm now stuck in a loop where I'm closing one app and opening the other, just to read through the exact same posts.

Send help. Or not. This is fine. I'm going to take a break from Lemmy for the rest of the day.

That may be true for some people individually, but I believe if no one at a company is able to build any connection (even on a professional level of base rapport ), that's much more an indicator of the company's failures to build a proper company culture that supports that.

People have been making close friends over the Internet with zero in-person interactions for decades now. And that's even without video chat being the primary way of doing it. I work 100% remote at a company with ~2500 employees. I'm pretty introverted, but I've managed to make a few friends mostly over slack that I would ask if they wanted to grab a drink or something if I were traveling through their area. There's no pressure or expectation of that from the company, there's no "we're family" nonsense, they've just created a company culture where that can happen.

The NBA announced today that Philadelphia 76ers guard James Harden has been fined $100,000 by the NBA for public comments on August 14 and 17 indicating that he would not perform the services called for under his player contract unless traded to another team. The league's investigation, which included an interview of Harden, confirmed that these comments referenced Harden's belief that the 76ers would not accommodate his request to be traded.

I think fear is an important part of our development, and sanitizing children's upbringings is rarely the best approach. I love when my child communicates that they're afraid of something because that gives me an opportunity to guide them through how to encounter and process that fear, and how to continue functioning in life when fear is present (which is always for a lot of people).

Also, for kids who are scared of their closet or under their bed at night, if you remove those triggers I would be surprised if other triggers did not arise. It could easily turn into a never ending game of whack a mole.

Pay for a seedbox and install Plex on it (something like whatbox.ca). You'll have your own streaming service that you can add anything you want to, and it only costs as much as the seedbox. It will give you insularity so you don't get ISP notices, you can access it from anywhere, it's great.

From there it's just finding where you want to get your torrents from and getting used to adding them to the torrent client on your seedbox.

The league already investigated the Sixers for this and didn't find anything. If there was actually any sort of handshake deal, Harden was stomping on that as soon as Christmas Day 2022, not even halfway through the regular season when his camp started leaking that he was wanting to go back to Houston.

If there was a handshake deal, my guess is that it was contingent on playoff success, and Harden started getting cold feet after the really rough start to the season, so he started those leaks to try and leverage a deal early either with the Sixers or the Rockets. Word on the street is Udoka shut that down on Houston's end, and then no other team wanted him (or didn't make an offer that he was interested in) so he was essentially forced to opt in to the second year with Philly.

The way I see it, Harden is trying to save face as well as garner the support of other players by trying to put the blame 100% on Morey.

If it's summarizing articles, wouldn't that make it reductive AI, not generative?

Between Everything Everywhere, Banshees (probably my fave), Bodies3x, and Northman (and others I haven't seen), 2022 was a truly fantastic year for original movies.

And while it was a franchise movie, Prey was also one of my favorites of the year.
