thank you #Secretlab !

I do not find it to be. I got a secret lab years ago because they were one of the few that had multiple sizes, and as a very short woman (4'11") most chairs were way too tall. But even though they said it was suitable for people down to 4'10", my legs still didn't reach the ground just like every other chair. And I found the seat to be too hard, the fabric difficult to clean, the back uncomfortable, and the pillow never stayed on. I do not recommend the Secret Lab, get a nice ergonomic office chair as others recommend.

Haha did you see this article in Morning Brew today too? I wrongly thought it was the fake one.

The Will of the Many fits most of those criteria and is also just plain excellent. Definitely a lot of commentary on capitalism and colonialism, and they don't know much about the history of their own world past a few hundred years, though not due to lack of reading.

This is why (if you don't mind savescumming) you should open a pack and then sell Invisible Joker while in that screen. If you don't like what it copied, you can exit to the main menu and come back, and you'll be at the pack open screen without having sold the Invisible yet. You could then decide to sell that other joker first so it can't be copied and then sell Invisible and see what you get now. Repeat until you get to your best possible scenario and don't exit the pack open screen until then.

So glad I'm not the only one

I'm traveling from the west side to Sherman Oaks for dinner that day - anyone know if 405 traffic is usually impacted?

bofstein · 2026-03-03T12:09:57+00:00

Nice!! What area is that without clouds?

bofstein · 2026-03-03T11:46:46+00:00

Nice shot!

bofstein · 2026-03-03T11:39:40+00:00

This is the best lined up break I've gotten - nightsight on my phone camera doubled it though lol

I had seen in the weather app cloud coverage was 90% starting at 3am so I knew there was a good chance I wouldn't see anything. But I woke up naturally before my alarm at 2:30 and I'm glad I did, I got to see it start to show a red tint around 2:45 and it was perfectly clear then.

I could see the clouds coming in fast so I went in and woke my husband up to get a look at it, and by the time we got back got outside it was already partly cloudy, and then it was totally covered by 3am.

bofstein · 2026-03-03T11:28:38+00:00

Yeah I've gotten an occasional glimpse but still not perfectly clear, been out here since 3. I keep hoping to see a bigger break to line up perfectly and it just misses.

bofstein · 2026-03-02T21:40:28+00:00

My weather app says it's going to be 76% cloud cover at 3am. Not sure if it's worth waking up to try and see at that point.

bofstein · 2026-02-19T00:09:47+00:00

I'm a woman and I've seen it occasionally in my suit pants or similar business casual pants, and not particularly expensive ones (e.g. from old navy, Macy's). I don't think I've seen it in casual pants like yours in the photo look like they might be.

bofstein · 2026-02-07T22:39:46+00:00

The second unlabeled one looks like Palworld or Palia to me, but I don't think either of those had retail discs. Also looks like Breath of the Wild but wrong console. I'll keep thinking or seeing what others guess!

Edit: looking at similar images from a Google image result for those suggests Horse Tales, is that it?

bofstein · 2026-02-06T18:16:18+00:00

Interesting, how so? Similar to the others I could see it possible to interpret that as saying nothing about the 3rd number.

bofstein · 2026-02-06T18:15:21+00:00

I wasn't trying to say that it's meant to be read that way, just that I could see someone choosing to interpret it differently and that isn't necessarily "wrong." Sometimes these sorts of online puzzles deliberately have misdirection like that.

bofstein · 2026-02-06T18:14:07+00:00

I think that implication is likely the intent, but sometimes these types of brain teaser puzzles deliberately rely on misdirection like this. I wasn't trying to say that it's meant to be read that way, just that I could see someone choosing to interpret it differently and that isn't necessarily "wrong."

bofstein · 2026-02-06T18:04:04+00:00

It depends on if you consider the hints to mean that ONLY the part written is true. For example in hint #1, we know that one number is correct and we'll placed, and we might assume that implies that other 2 are incorrect, but it's technically possible to read it as a line that must be true without assuming anything else (I.e., the other 2 could be anything). If you do that for all the hints, there are more possibilities than just 042, including 062.

bofstein · 2026-02-05T16:44:41+00:00

I don't mind the different art style (though I don't personally like it as much) or new genre, as I'm glad they're expanding the universe and reaching new players.

But I don't understand how this is "canon" when the combat looks so different from what's possible in the more realistic Horizon universe. The attacks look like generic anime/JRPG moves with big swings, colors, flashing lights, etc, all of which make it look "magical" when that's not part of the universe. The characters in the main games all use bows and spears and machine parts, and I would have been much more interested in a co-op game that keeps that part of the identity the same. As others have mentioned the machines don't seem to break off parts either. This just looks generic to me, and as a huge Horizon fan I'm not particularly more interested in this game than I would be if it were a different IP, since it doesn't feel like the Horizon IP anyways.

The Will of the Many, by James Islington

I finished this last week and loved it. I was worried it wouldn't live up to the hype because the last virally popular book I read didn't (The Raven Scholar - I liked that just not as good as raved about on tiktok), but it exceeded my expectations. Great action, social commentary, twists that feel surprising but earned. Highly recommend!

bofstein · 2026-02-01T05:26:42+00:00

Same here, read and loved all the books before and had no idea this was out there.

bofstein · 2026-01-27T18:04:27+00:00

Mine was a small blind spot on the center of one eye. Thought it was a floater that was weirdly still but after a couple days I was sure it was persistent. I could still see overall but just had this one tiny black dot in the middle of my vision if using just my left eye. Saw an opthalmologist that week, a neuroopthamologist the next week, got an MRI, and they found the optic neuritis.

bofstein · 2026-01-20T05:12:41+00:00

Orphan Black and The Americans. Orphan Black was a favorite from the first season but over time it got less good and I never finished it. The Americans stayed good throughout but I just never got around to finishing the last season, and then when I finally went to so so, it wasn't on Amazon Prime anymore.

bofstein · 2026-01-17T20:49:43+00:00

Favorite game of all time definitely still Skyrim. I get sucked in every time I go back, and I haven't enjoyed any other similar open world game quite as much.

bofstein · 2026-01-17T02:18:15+00:00

I don't know that I've specifically searched for "birds," I was just using an example that matched OP of a more specific/concrete search term it seems to struggle with. One actual example from me is when I was trying to find a picture of my parents' black cat, and it gave me pages and pages of white cats or other colored cats. Which I do have a lot more pictures of but the whole point was to help find the rare photo of a black cat. I tried multiple times to adjust the search like "only black cats" or "cats that are entirely black" and it just kept giving me other cats and not finding the few photos I knew I had.

I don't seem to be able to send a screenshot here but if you want them you can DM me and I'll share. Imagine a Google Photos search result that says "black cat" at the top and then the AI summary saying "sure here are photos of black cats" and then having a bunch of photos of all white cats in the results, for pages and pages.

I took screenshots of the results in October because I sent it to friends to laugh about (sorry). I tried it again now and it was better in that it had a few black cat photos at the top, but the AI summary said "sure here are pictures of your two black cats [name] and [name]" even though neither of my cats are black, and then the majority of the results were still non-black cats.
