locals may have to accept that same-day delivery is a thing of the past
In a pedestrian-friendly city like Amsterdam, couldn't they mostly replace this with a pickup depot / Amazon locker type setup? (maybe residents with wheelchair / limited-mobility / etc permits can still get front-door package delivery, but it's not something most people need)
This Friday or last Friday?
This seems kind of… cruel, honestly. I mean the kid is 4; I could imagine a 9 or 10 year old being mature enough to view this as an honor / thrill of a lifetime, but 4 is reallllly pushing it.
Can’t wait until my King Arthur AI-Generated Flour turns out to be a 5 pound bag of uncut cocaine.
My headcanon is that in public / guest quarters the toilet stalls contain miniature holodeck emitters so that they can instantly change to accommodate the customs / biology of any species. Even assuming that, say, Klingons excrete waste from the same places that humans do, they might prefer to do so while dangling from a bar in the ceiling or something else torturous like that, and find the use of a regular sitting toilet unclean or dishonorable.
The Stardewification of everything continues - can’t wait until Half-Life 3 finally comes out and it turns out that Black Mesa has purchased a dilapidated farm in the countryside that they’ve taken Gordon Freeman out of stasis to restore for them.
The pushy evangelical church down the street has the Bajoran flag
Yeah, Bribercutter has really gone downhill since the NYT acquisition
I sleep much better at night knowing that this is also true for Wikipedia

How many times are developers going to put up with being used as sticks for one group of rich assholes to whack a different group of rich assholes with before we start supporting open platforms?
Gamers: pointlessly sacrificing the moral high ground since 2014.
It may have been more like:
Unity: “We love money and hate our customers, who can we hire to realize that vision?”
EA CEO: “Finally, a job that understands me”
He should go work for Epic, they’re really just begging to be run into the ground by a shitty CEO

Most of the original voices have left. The remaining can’t voice characters outside their ethnicity.
What? The 6 of them are all still there. Hank Azaria gave up Apu/Lou/Carl and Harry Shearer gave up Dr. Hibbert, but the vast, vast majority of characters are still being voiced by the same actors.
I do think that the fact that The Simpsons has been on so long that they had to go ahead and do that is strong evidence that the show has run its course + ought to end, but the re-casting is a symptom, not a cause.
Probably controversial, but the final season of Star Trek: The Next Generation was pretty bad - 2 good episodes (and the finale, though people tend to ignore its flaws because the last scene was so satisfying), but the rest of it was mostly Season-1-level filler.
Todd Howard doesn’t do what Todd Howard does for Todd Howard. Todd Howard does what Todd Howard does because Todd Howard is… Todd Howard.
OTOH, if you take that hello world program and ask it to compose a themed cocktail menu around it, it’ll cheerfully do that for you.
And this was only like the 3rd worst thing to happen to O'Brien that day
