Corruption goes with Disney, fat goes with McDonalds, and racism… goes with everything.

Wow this meme is 12 years old but was originally Pharrell. I didn’t realize fashion was repeating that quickly these days.

Once you have a few million dollars, you aren’t gay or straight anymore. You’re just a person who fucks people. There is no community within him, there is no care or compassion for others, the queer community rejects him, he can’t be one of us even in name. He’s just a billionaire who fucks men. And they’re OK with anything that comes after “billionaire” by nature.

And Bananarama was so named for their high-fidelity recordings which were performed, mixed, and recorded entirely on bananas.

Yep cloud providers definitely came up with the AI boom in a roundabout conspiracy to end PCs. Total direct chain there.

We inherited a dual-basket air fryer, a nice Ninja model, and had it for a week before realizing it was worthless compared to the convection oven we already had. Spacing things out enough in the compartments meant there wasn’t enough food for even two people (unless you put the same food in both baskets), it took longer to use than the oven, it absolutely stunk up the house, and then it had to be cleaned. Weird product and we got rid of it.

That’s because the helicopter crashes you’ve seen were the ones where something catastrophic happened, like a midair collision or a pilot error. That’s what makes the news, not the safe landings where engine failure has occurred.

They’ve backed off this and ended the partnership, claim Flock never got any footage, which I think is a total lie.
They’ll re-partner when the heat is off, or just do it silently, Amazon shouldn’t be trusted. Explain why to your friends and neighbors.

As a web designer (well, customizer/reseller for small businesses) I definitely thought I was done for when I heard AI could spit out a functional website in one prompt. Then I saw some examples and realized it’s just going to be another thing clients bring me, begging for a fix. No problemo, small upcharge.

I’ve only had a few go through my hands but I definitely bought drugs with them.

I agree 100% but also this is like when you watch your brother punch your dad to make him stop hitting your mom, and you know you’re going to get the shit kicked out of both of you later for it.

Same reason they only come out when surrounded by bulletproof glass or in sniper-controlled areas now. They don’t want to be individually targeted.
Now it’s interesting to imagine what would happen if hundreds of officials were individually targeted, but having a bunch of guns at your house ≠ that. Still the issue of targeted suppression exists, and would be highly effective.
If you burn down a neighborhood, if you shoot an RPG or a drone at a house, none of the guns inside matter, except they make it more lethal as you try to escape. They also make your house more unsafe for kids and yourself (statistically).
Arming yourself up defensively just doesn’t do much. If they want you dead, they’re gonna do it in a zero-casualty-for-them way. They can do that en masse, they can do that in rural or urban areas. They train for that 24/7. They love that.
Arming yourself offensively, well that’s something else. I don’t know if that’s what’s being suggested when this issue comes up though.

Who remembers printing to a Postscript file and then running that through Acrobat to get a PDF? Back in the 90s when PDFs had to be explained.

Are you sure you don’t have “print as image” enabled there? It should keep it as a layered PDF, not rasterizing.

Doc offices, urgent cares, etc have these little blue plastic bags with a cardboard collar around them, just big enough to go around the outside of your mouth. I call them yack sacks. Grab a few of these the next time you see a dispenser on the wall, keep them in your nightstand, glovebox, etc. They come in very handy.

It’s trivially easy to activate the sensor by putting your finger on the right part of the seat, on mine you are aware when it happens because there’s a beep. I am terrified of the moment my 3yo figures out where this spot is, because the panel of interesting buttons will suddenly do something, and that something will be Terrible.

Seems trivial to code in a beacon dependency and then embed that beacon in the walls or floor so the police would have to dismantle the entire building before being able to find it and take it along for the ride. Or heck a combination of beacons so the police don’t know how many to look for.

It’s an addiction just like any other social media site, being cut off from the supplier is one of a few ways to end addiction, so I’ve appreciated their ban-happiness lately (for myself included).
