With the power out, got to see stars for once up here. Usually too much light pollution. Still a lot at the bottom of the image. Hello Orion!
A night photo of the sky. The bottom quarter of the image is a dark silhouette of trees on the horizon. Bright white clouds take up most of the middle half of the picture. The top of the image is mostly a dark blue sky with some clouds and pinpricks of stars here and there. The constellation Orion is partially visible in the middle of the sky.

Finally! It’s about time that we had a video game with attractive women in revealing outfits. Glad that these devs are addressing such an underserved section of the community.

I lol'd a number of times in the Outer Worlds 2, but this is a gem.
Screen capture from The Outer Worlds 2 showing a dialog choice window between Radio Specialist Alan Leiter and the protagonist. Radio Specialist Alan Leiter: What's going on down there, Deck 01? I saw an intruder alert! Second dialog choice: We had a slight weapons malfunction, but everybody's perfectly all right now. How are you?

Charlotte aka Sweet Carlotta aka The Tiny Terror aka Fluffmodeus aka Little Bean. Do not be fooled by her permanent fun sized appearance nor her unbelievable fluffiness. She is willing, nay, eager to choose Violence any day of the week. It’s unclear if her ginger paw restrains or promotes evil.

I lol’d for reals.
Quote from article where consultant who built AI systems discusses advising corporations on how they can reabsorb workers whose jobs have been eliminated by the AI projects they also consulted on: “and I built those systems that can help, you know, redistribute those jobs. Part of Harris's job, he explained, was to provide companies with a plan to reabsorb employees whose jobs had been automated. I asked Harris whether the companies have adopted those plans. "I wouldn't say I've seen it, but I've created programs that would have helped do that. Did the companies listen to what I advised? Well, that's another thing."

Did they sneak HPL’s Elder Things into The Outer Worlds 2?
“Plants” with a barrel shaped body and a starfish like appendage. No sign of anything like wings, though.

Digging a little deeper. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.
Copilot response to "Why doesn't copilot know a parent class has a method available to the child class" Response text is as follows: Why doesn't copilot know a parent class has a method available to the child class The reason Copilot may not recognize a parent class's method available to the child class is due to the way inheritance works in programming. Inheritance allows child classes to inherit methods from parent classes, but this does not happen automatically. Instead, the child class must explicitly inherit the method from the parent class. If the parent class does not have the method defined, Copilot cannot access it through the child class. This limitation is a fundamental aspect of object-oriented programming and is not a fault in Copilot's functionality.
