Atlanta!!!
Atlatl. Or simply spear-thrower.
It’s a bit like a fing-longer, but for your whole arm, and therefore more useful.
Same principle as the sling: they make your arm longer so the “hand” moves faster when you swing it, allowing you to throw stuff at higher and more lethal speeds, and farther.
We’re still quite lethal even without these tools though, just look at baseball pitchers.
Also our accuracy and reach when throwing stuff.
Especially when combined with our ability to make stuff sharp by banging it against other stuff and breaking it just the right way.
Android is the bastard that just rapes you and punches you in the face, unlike the other bastard, who rapes you and your cat and stabs you in the eye.
computers
Apple don’t make computers, they make wealth extractors.
Which one?
Pym, I’d assume. I mean, the guy beat his wife, created Ultron, and is generally even more of an asshole than Stark…
I did warn you.
Krokodil, probably.
(Seriously, don’t look up images of its effects, it’s extremely NSFL shit.)
Only thing I can think of is Aquarela do Brasil, but that’s only because of Terry Gilliam…
Anything else would be in flagrant violation of the GDPR (and this too, probably, though not as flagrantly).
Pagers. Kids under 21 can only get pagers.
They get within two meters of a smartphone, both kid, parents, and whoever owns the smartphone go straight to jail.
LLMs ain’t gonna replace programmers any time soon (they might get us laid off, but they’re not going to do our jobs no matter how much executives want them to), but they seem to have already replaced executives, though sadly without the laying off part.
It’s becoming more and more evident that these extremely harmful idiots (including CEOs and whatnot) have completely outsourced all their decision making and what little thinking they used to do onto LLMs.
We’re being ruled by vegetables parroting hallucinating autocomplete engines.
YouTube (and Google in general) has been horrible for multilingual users (and users who want to see content in a different language than the default for whatever country they’re browsing from) for quite some time, but lately it’s getting downright unusable without untranslator browser extensions.

The USB-A connector has spin ½.
You have to rotate it 360⁰ before it’ll fit (and 360⁰ more to get it back to the original orientation).
Not sure if adulthood or chronic depression.
Not sure there’s a difference.
I don’t know about Silverhand (not enough chrome, really, he’s just a natural asshole), but most Vs, definitely.
The index is there (the NTFS file system maintains it automatically) and is fast (as programs like Everything Search demonstrate)… Windows Search is simply not using it anymore, probably so it can shove sponsored shit in the results, or maybe due to lost knowledge due to lay-offs.
Frankly, with the garbage Microsoft is producing these days, and the rate at which the quality, for lack of a better word, is degenerating, I’m starting to consider if LLM slop might actually be less worse…
I live close to the central area of an ~80,000 population city.
Looking at Google maps I’ve got about 10 general stores within 300 meters, probably thrice that within 500m, plus plenty of smaller specialised stores.
300 to 600m seems like a reasonable distance to walk to and back with four to six bags of groceries.
For smaller more specialised shopping trips one or two kilometres would be fine too.
Three might be a bit much, though I’ve often walked that to go to the cinema.
