I never had any Sega systems growing up, what did I miss?
I can't believe no one has seconded Landstalker.
Seriously, give Landstalker a shot.

T1 we get man vs unstoppable killing machine.
T2 we get man (and much more stoppable killing machine) vs unstoppable killing machine and have to grapple with the idea of using weapons expressly intended to wipe out the human race against the threats that will wipe out the human race.
I won't pretend like most sequels aren't "would you like some more of that?" but we can all agree that if you checked into a hotel and T2 was on the TV, you'd leave it running instead of channel surfing.

There's a reason why some scientists are field researchers and some are lab rats.
Some times, scientists can really be stupid. More so when they're in high stress uncontrolled environments.

Not only will I drink bean sludge but I'll drink decaf bean sludge and seize the means of production while I'm doing it.
Granted, I'm seizing the means to get a better cup of coffee first but the people will own that cup.

Xbox wants you to pay 24 to 40 cents per hour to stream games you already bought: Time-based a la carte charges come on top of the purchase price for the games themselves.

They had to feed the AI something to give the CEO ideas and all the reputable sites cost money so, really, it's our own fault.

AI bubble could burst and take global economy with it, IMF warns
COVID took the global economy with it.
Losing AI would be like... I don't even know, insignificantly small compared to that.
If AI up and disappeared tomorrow when I clocked into work, it might actually make my job easier. I could be even more productive without having the slop floodgates open every day.

You could still use Hold your horses because the car has horse power. Pressing the brake pedal literally holds your horses.

Small man in large overcompensation machine drives over a lane divider because he couldn't wait for two minutes
I think it's just funnier how much that thing struggled to get over a relatively flat, dry obstacle. Not even half height of the tire, he couldn't have just put it in low gear and gently rolled up and over? I swear I've seen sedans more capable than that.

I drink black coffee nearly every day. I drink overly sugary milk with a dash of espresso sometimes. I will put any sugar or creamer in my coffee. Even a pile of grounds thrown in a pot and boiled over an open fire has it's place.
But keep all artificial sweeteners at least 100 meters any from any brew. I'd rather rub Tesco grounds on my gums than put an artificial sweetener near my cup. I've tried, over and over, all the different brands that everyone says tastes just like sugar and I'd rather not ever again.

Accenture Just Capped Employees’ Claude Spending at $29 a Month. Some Were Spending $1,000

Look at it this way, if I pay Open AI $1k a month, their people make sure it works they month. If I let Joe from finance spend $10k on computer parts, Joe needs to ensure that it runs or I need to hire someone who is knowledgeable on local models. If I'm a simple firm, $12k a year might be cheaper because someone else makes sure it works and I can fire Joe when the fancy autocorrect loses a bunch of clients by falsifying work. Then I don't have to spend even bigger bucks hiring a new Joe because no one knows how to work the damn server he replaced the break room with.

Why are we so weird about speed limits (US)?

I know what you're trying to say but literally any camera is surveillance. It takes pictures/video of a given area. It provides overwatch in lieu of a human. It just surveils for a specific thing.
That data can be used for other, nefarious, purposes and Americans tend to hate that unless it's a private company doing it.

Agreed, men could spend more time at the gym if they didn't have to consider any sort of political implications. It would be better for them.
