    Agreed that Falinks max battle is not fun (at least for a casual player). We took it down with 2 people, but had to have the right moves (Charizard with a Flying-type move), otherwise Falinks kicked our ass. I ended up just doing it once for the 'dex and never touched it again.

    The jump in difficulty from 1-star to 3-star was pretty steep – I really want the upcoming Gigantamax Gengar but it’s 6-star and IDK how I’d be able to handle it when I have exactly one (1) other friend who play :(








  • As someone who’s had a single-user Mastodon instance for two years now: I love it. It’s definitely not for everyone, for reasons mainly stated in the article. However, if you like a more personal, highly-curated federated timeline, a single-user instance is great.

    I 90% use Mastodon to keep up with my friends’ posts and see art and animal pictures (and I hate interacting with strangers LOL), so I curate my instance to only subscribe to them. For the remaining 10%, I have a secondary account on a larger instance for when I want to read the news etc. It’s worked well for me, but again, it’s surely not for everyone!


  • As someone who uses a 40s keyboard (no numbers row, kinda similar to the bottom middle keyboard in OP’s pic): my wrist pain that I got from typing 4-6 hours a day was gone once I started using them, because they’re compact and I don’t have to move my hands/wrists at all. When I type with a full-sized keyboard, I have to move my wrist when I want to type numbers, for example. Now I can type for 8+ hours a day without worrying about pain.

    Of course, keyboards are all personal preference! That’s why I love the mech keyboard community, seeing all the different layouts and shapes people tailor to use for themselves.

    I hate selfies, so whenever I’m on vacation I just take pictures of my surroundings but never with me in it. Once, my cousin wanted to see my vacation pics, so I showed them to him. He then asked why I’m not in any of them. When I said I didn’t think it was necessary, his genuine confused reply was, “But how do people know you were really there, then?”

    It’s really insane out there.

    Our research has several limitations and should be interpreted with appropriate caution. Firstly, our evaluation technique likely underestimates the real-world value of human conversations, as the clinicians in our study were limited to an unfamiliar text-chat interface, which permits large-scale LLM–patient interactions but is not representative of usual clinical practice.


  • Yep. My parents offered to buy my gen Z brother a car, and he asked for an e-bike instead. I (a millenial) also choose to not have a car for both environmental reasons and just… not wanting to drive and deal with traffic and car maintenance and whatnot. Thankfully we live in a city whose public transportation’s getting better by day.
