Such fear in this man's eyes. I thought having a gun was supposed to make you feel invincible. Maybe he needs a bigger one with more random shit glued onto it?

Damn I would watch Dwarf TV all day..

The things about quantum computers is they are really, really powerful at a some kinds of things, some of the time. Maybe even most of the time.

Binary computers are okay at one thing, but it does that one thing exactly every time. If it ever makes a mistake then entire thing might crash.

The problem is a quantum computer is so different from normal computers you have to start over from the beginning of the tech stack. Even if you get it working reliability (which is hard to do), how does it help you? You can do some crazy math, but it can't run an operating system. It doesn't have a bios. There are no drivers that speak some percentage of up spin vs down spin. There isn't a standard assembly language. There isn't a standard anything. It's like how computers were in the 40s.

I think quantum computers are very interesting and might help in very specific applications, and I mean like custom made math heavy applications that only run on that one machine you built it for kind of specific.

Can that change the world? Maybe. But it will take time. No one wants to talk about it because it's a hard problem that is still years away from doing much to impact peoples lives. Better to talk about ai slop, that gets clicks because you can see it and touch it right now.

What the hell hit it, a rail gun? Lol that was awesome.

Now that everything is digital and so rigidly formatted and kept in databases we really lost the ability to have fun in a lot of ways.

But I would love to see the support ticket for the central passport database that reads "someone have a cat a passport and now all our systems are offline because no one ever accounted for this while we were writing the things."

It reminds me of the time I had to spend a week updating database tables to utf8 after someone started putting emojis into their log messages...

Labels aren't worth worrying about. You are you. That is enough.

I would talk to her, just share your vibes and concerns, and say be careful. Also remind her you are always there for her if she needs anything.

A little advice is good if it's genuine and the communication is between equals.

I mean.. the outlet is very, very regular pressure. Just need a barometer to know what the pressure is.

I'm pushing numbers like that. And I have to say, when I really stop and think about it, my life just keeps getting better. I keep getting better. My mind is better. My attitude is better.

I think about death a lot, but I also think about life a lot. Its easy to think back and say "if only I could go back" forgetting that who you are now and who you were then are completely different. We wish we had more time to be young and wise, but usually you have to pick one out the other.

And name it Zulu Time because it sounds cool.

They seemed to like it! It only lasted the first half of the first session. It was fun without dragging on.

So far my best campaign start was I told the group: Look, until I say so, everything you try works. No rolls. Your bad asses. Something will go wrong at some point, but it's imposable for you to die until this opening is over.

They proceed to pull off an amazing heist where they had to break in and tamper with some evidence. Just add they do their NPC teammates betray them, set off a chain reaction that kills a bunch of civilians, and leave them to take the blame. The law is on their trail, they are running out of friends, and finally they dive out of a high rise building and land in a trash heap. Then the campaign starts.
