This is a full book and not just the cover for fun and giggles!

In The Stray Shopping Carts of Eastern North America author Julian Montague has created an elaborate classification system of abandoned shopping carts, accompanied by photographic documentation of actual stray cart sightings. These sightings include bucolically littered locations such as the Niagara River Gorge (where many a cart has been pushed to its untimely death) and mundane settings that look suspiciously like a suburb near you.

Working in the naturalist’s tradition, the photographs depict the diversity of the phenomenon and carry a surprising emotional charge; readers inevitably begin to see these carts as human, at times poignant in their abandoned, decrepit state, hilariously incapacitated, or ingeniously co-opted. The result is at once rigorous and absurd, enabling the layperson to identify and classify their own cart spottings based on the situation in which they were found.

There are some of these pumps in France. It infuriates me. The sound is horrible.

What a foul

If it’s time spent, you just have to be French.

I concur

“What makes all of this worse is that True Lies, […], did not need to be shoved through the AI wringer. […] Park Road Post had a recent 4k scan of True Lies from the original camera negative. Park Road Post’s own website claims they have a Lasergraphics Director 10K film scanner on the premises. So what is the purpose of adding AI to this mix? Why do that to a perfectly fine-looking film?”

This part makes me think of the loudness war. Editors will overuse digital tools that degrades the original media if it “pops” more to the average public. More and more and more.

I agree.

That was sarcastic. 6 days max without a mass shooting is low. Especialy when the average number is 2 mass shooting every fucking day.

It does.
It was up to 6 at the end of September!

Said role

Hey lock hence

My spouse is now mocking me because I giggled in front of a picture of ingredients. “Ooooh funny… ingredients… oh … oh … oh…”

It’s funny how you care.

It’s funny how you overanalized my comment

It’s funny how people here take memes really seriously and are offended that an AI could, in the future, create shitty memes.

OK. I am angry.

AI is only good at remixing what’s already done

That’s what memes are.

Up to four in split screen. We played it with my two kids in couch coop. We where three in split screen. Each player has one house. The money is shared, so I was working to get money, while my kids were exploring and having fun.

I don’t remember exactly but one player is mandatory (the one starting the “save”/“world”), then the three others are optional. However you don’t want to play a lot without the other characters since they will not progress (the more you do something with one character like cutting wood, the easier it is for this character).

I played it with my kids in coop mode.
What’s great is the progression system. You start very poor, having to cut wood, with nowhere to go that far. The areas and what you can do unfold themselves step by step.
