The jupyter console is just a better version of the interactive shell. Great for just trying out some lines of code.

I also use notebooks at work to try out some APIs, to skip the tedium of the initial setup or some other routines.

That still leaves the microphone.

The actual simple and sane solution would just be to require indicator leds hardwired to the literal power supply lines of the camera chip/microphone, so they’re physically impossible top turn off while recording.

But that would require US or EU legislation.

John Powell’s opening for How to Train your Dragon deserves a shoutout for including every major Leitmotiv of the movie.

I’ll let someone smarter go into 18 minutes of more detail here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4UUJQH7GLms

HEADOFF! APPLY DIRECTLY TO FOREHEAD!

a big open world planet with a dense series of dystopian cities, alongside underground resource-rich zones.

That is stupidly overambitious and will necessarily lead to a lack of detail and charm.

[The interior ministry] said the IZH had acted as a direct representative of Iran’s Shi’ite Muslim Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and sought to bring about an Islamic revolution in Germany to impose theocratic rule.

Any DM can tell you that the D&D 5e rules are outright terrible in some major aspects, like magic item classification (go look at every “major rare” magic item and see how v wildly different they are in terms is vusefulness) or monster abilities (mostly just removing spellcasting for no reason).

So it’s no wonder that seasoned DMs homebrew (or use/adapt other DMs’ homebrew).

Except for Nazis. Always hate those guys.

It basically was a dynamic form, where the next questions were based on the previous answers.

I recently had an important package get rerouted to a pickup box, but the incompetent driver (who did not even manage to reply “hello package” on the intercom) forgot to leave the retrieval card in my mailbox.

After searching the DHL website for a contwct option for way longer than it should take, I saw a small note stating that their chatbot can give you retrieval codes, so I decided to try that.

It was not AI powered, but provided prompts to click, or asked for very specific short replies like the tracking number. Similar to an automated phone system but with text. I took a wrong turn at some point and had to start over, but it actually worked really well and I got the code after about 3 minutes.

Bought a cheap 5€ safety razor some years back and liked it. I kept cutting my face, but I thought I’m just too stupid to shave.

Bought a 20€ razor later on. Turns out I’m not stupid, the 5€ one was just bad.

The power draw of old refrigerators is like 5-10 times higher than a modern one.

And thousands of refrigerators bought in the 1940s have been in landfills since the 1950s.

Still doesn’t really work well. I think 2 levels of monk is the best value you can get (+10ft. speed, bonus attack and 2 Ki points). Rest Barbarian for more punching.

Weirdly enough, that’s a uniquely US problem.
