So I got a job at this company back in the day that did phone and email customer service for other companies.

I was one of the last people they ever hired. Me and 7 other people were shown to our cubicles that had brand new Dell sff computers and peripherals in their boxes.

We were told the IT guys were off or on sick leave and I offered to try and set the machines up at least to save time. With the help of the others we plugged everything in and then kinda sat there all day doing nothing.

Next day we all show up for work and we see people carrying boxes out of the building. Turns out the owner was neck deep in debt and just dissappeared, people were told they shouldn’t be expecting any more paychecks or bother suing.

Basically the manager told everyone to just sort of take whatever they want home and everyone just took their work PC home. Me and 7 other people basically got a free PC for half a day’s work, others got shafted though…

All I’m trying to say here is maybe DON’T SELL NUCLEAR AIRCRAFT CARRIER REACTORS to private companies that are 100% going to go tits up soon when yet another tech bubble bursts and those reactors end up being sold on AliExpress?

    I got an old NES GameGenie around here somewhere we can hack it with. We can hook it up to an AI! No… I can hook it up to an AI. Power over life and death feels like a toy. My toy.

Stop worrying.

It’s all fine. It’ll stay fine.

Look, I don’t know much about nuclear reactors, but I do know when you name some plutonium in some stuff steam goes brrrr.

Does that sound like something dangerous? Dangerous things don’t go brrrrr.

Steam is just water. Do you hate water? Hydrophones like you make me sick.

How else am I supposed to get 3d models of giant tutted anime waifus that will say filthy things to me while crank my hog?

Nuclear reactors go brrrrr. My hog goes brrrrrr. Anime waifus go brrrrrr. See? Totally safe.

Also, not to be pedantic, but it’s spelled nookyalurr.
