> OPERATOR: O.K., Robert, you understand that what you just described isn’t really lunch, right?

> ROBERT: It is lunch. When there are no rules, it is lunch, Cherise!

> OPERATOR: Did you at any point dip the green peppers in the peach yogurt?

> ROBERT: Probably. Sorry.


>dip the green peppers in the peach yogurt

Reminds me of that Bloodhound Gang song


Woof, this one hit a little too close to home


This is great :) Also if anyone else is hitting New Yorker paywalls and can't read this, just disable JavaScript and reload.


Hadn't seen this one before, it's great.

>As 6:30 P.M. rolled around, she felt sick in the pit of her stomach, like when she looked at a sentence that didn’t contain an acronym.


This is incredible. The quality of the writing is on another level, it's not just about throwing corporate jargon but weaving it through a nicely written piece. Thank you for sharing, looking forward to reading more comments from you.

That's the first interview test! (Take a look at the URL, it's pretty obvious why it's broken)


ha! nice!

I was only briefly looking at it while doing other things but I'll come back to this after work hours and check again


Between this today and one square minesweeper yesterday, we're batting 1.000 on funny dumb projects that make me laugh. I don't know why you made this either, but I'm glad you did, thanks!


Here's another that I discovered today: not a hobby project but a personal webpage that got me rotfl. https://cookie.engineer/


Granted there are some people on earth who can speak those 3 languages fluently, but it greatly diminishes the pool of available people. If you wanted to take the example to the absurd, you could just start listing more languages, and ChatGPT would happily spit out the answer translated to 100 languages in a few seconds. No person could do that.


Also, I believe doctor of credit is not funded by affiliate links like most sites that list this stuff are (including the GP link, I believe)


The integration is really cool, and it seems like this would be a powerful tool, but I think I'd be fighting against the main thing you want to do (I don't want to reschedule stuff after my Sunday planning session, with only very few exceptions).

Thanks for the suggestion though, and good luck!


I don't know anything about Kotaku, but I read that same article and thought it was pretty clearly a tongue-in-cheek faux investigative article and laughed at it.


op's is a valid criticism in a post gonzo journalism world. hunter thompson, an otherwise conventionally trained professional, embeds himself in the world of his subjects, and produces a masterpiece of investigative journalism. it's also sexy, and generations of journalists imitate him after. but the division remained up until quite recently, where you have the chicago manual of syle, and then you have (late 90s) vice magazine. tongue-in-cheek faux investigative article works when you're a professional humorist and that's your beat, or when you're a professional game reporter, and you want to produce some levity. in the second case the deficiencies are excused, because what otherwise carries your writing and by extension your reputation, are your serious pieces. in the post gonzo journalism world most writers act as if they have that reputation to cary them, but what they consistently produce are low effort tongue-in-cheek, insider jokes articles. there's simply not enough good will to humor them.


Asus Zenphone 10 is a bit bigger than the 13 mini, but is reasonably small and otherwise well regarded


Despite it having a reputation for being a small phone, the Zenfone 10 is essentially the same size as the Galaxy S23 and iPhone 15 - in other words, "normal" size and quite a bit larger than the iPhone minis.


It's a lot smaller than the Pixel though, which is what this thread is about.


I can't go any bigger than the 13 Mini. It's right on the edge of too big. I'd prefer smaller.


They didn’t release that and 9 in many geographies.


Google has partnered with iFixit to offer genuine replacement parts for all Pixel models for a couple of years, including batteries.


I don't see the QA posting. Am I just missing it or is it elsewhere?
