Amaruk Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Spoiler For those who aren't familiar with Tamarian: The player's IGN (Darmock_On_The_Ocean) is a variation of Darmok on the ocean, which means loneliness or isolation. Darmok and Jalad on the ocean – friendship or understanding from a shared challenge. Amaruk, his eyes open, a variation of Sokath, his eyes uncovered, means understanding. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently, tank printers like mine self-clean periodically. It will occasionally run its scanner for no apparent reason too. I will have to say that I really like tank printers over cartridge ones though. In five years, I've only spent $20 on ink. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely unrelated, but when you mentioned printers I got reminded of those office printers that use continuous feed paper, and how for the first time I encountered them in a completely air conditioned room. It was air conditioned because it had a huge black tower with a million blinking lights, a very fascinating sight as you can imagine, that was the main computer. The room also had an equally fascinating smell which I think was due to the air conditioning. Now thing I can't figure out is why air conditioning in the old days had that nice chemical smell about it, whereas nowadays, if it smells, it smells bad. Good old times.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still scary, though... Of course it's a fake but it's funny. Soon, however, AI will be so good that none of us will be able to ascertain AI-generated content from a recording of an actual event. When that occurs, what's going to happen to our news reporting, justice, and educational systems? Edited March 30 by Snargfargle 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
