    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    A snapshot in time doesn’t let you know if there’s been a change for the better or the worse…individually or as (possibly) part of a movement. So the point is that I continue to gain insight about them AND those like them.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Even before I was asked to join the modding staff here, I didn’t use my IL here…or anywhere else. My perspective is that sometimes, it’s more important to hear those I most strongly disagree with in order to get the fullest picture of the situation. Know thy enemy, as some have said.

    D&D General I’m Trying to Love D&D Again—and I’ve Got Some Complaints. Young Grognard posting.

    Mod Note: Gotta say that- considering there’s already pretty widespread use of a preferred group pronoun- “them/they people” comes across as somewhat…disrespectful. Edit: Ninjamodded

    70s Sci Fi Sleepers

    I just watched this video: Of the 10 films mentioned, I’ve seen all except Colossus and Quintet- the first & last ones mentioned. (And of course, I can think of a few more…) I have to say that I agree with the maker(s) of the video: all of these films are worth the time to watch. There’s...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Y’know, my Mom has had Prime for years; I haven’t watched a damn thing on it.🤷🏾‍♂️ And don’t get me wrong- there have been many things on Prime that were nominally something I’d consider watching.

    I still haven’t seen enough of that show. It’s so rarely in reruns.

    Like I said, in interviews, he comes across as hyper-enthusiastic instead of deceptive (to me). But the financial press is definitely divided on whether Anthropic is investment worthy or not. (Though most agree that it’s one of the most likely to evade bursting due to the oft-predicted bubble.)

    JACK FM- one of the stations whe have programmed as a favorite- seems to play the more popular tunes from the late 1950s/early 1960s to well into the 2000s.

    D&D General I’m Trying to Love D&D Again—and I’ve Got Some Complaints. Young Grognard posting.

    I’ve been in the hobby since 1977-78. I’ve played in over 100 different systems. All I can say about the aversion to 3PP stuff is most prevalent in the D&D community IME. Part of that is because D&D is the origin of the hobby, and as such, there’s probably been more 3PP products made for it...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Format slide is real. When I’m driving my parents around, I mostly tune to a particular “Classic Rock” station (that’s been around since at least the 1980s) when in the car these days, though I occasionally have it tuned to certain rock/metal or alternative stations. The classic rock station...

    The problem remains that Contribution Margin P&L is primarily used for internal metrics. Talking CM P&L while discussing profitability in interviews & press releases is misleading at best. It’s more suspicious if you downplay or don’t contextualize it with overall P&L.* If you’re talking to...

    1) Wossisname is claiming his company’s AI products are profitable. 2) under GAAP for his company’s own general business sector (SaaS), you must include development costs to determine if a product is profitable. 3) Wossisname is ignoring development costs when he claims his company’s products...

    That’s what I meant to type. Inference is an operational cost. I was so focused on pointing out that you have to include development costs in calculating profitability that I didn’t catch the error. Thanks for the correction!
