It’s not an overpass. A loose brick falls off a truck going in the opposite direction, bounces off the pavement once, then goes through the windshield.

I hope they haven’t.

Yeah that touchscreen tablet convertible machine is what has me psyched. I’m not the target for it, and already own a 16, but I could see that thing selling well. I honestly think they came out with the desktop because they just kinda felt they needed a desktop.

Here’s the thing, we scientists need our cheerleaders. We spend our time getting good at doing science, so it’s worth it to hire someone who is good at hyping and advocating for our work. Go listen to the recordings of James Webb trying to explain to JFK that we need to do a shit-ton of science before we can get to the moon. JFK just plain doesn’t understand the magnitude of what he’s asking for. He thinks we could do it in 6 months. This lady is our champion.

To be clear “up above in my head” are the actual lyrics, but I only learned that fact a few weeks ago. I like my version better.

Yeah my bad, that was a little ambiguous. Very funny to accidentally blow this person’s mind though.

'Cause I’m in too deep
And I’m trying to keep
up above in my head
All the thoughts in my head

And left their car parked in the photo.

And that they would be mostly right-wing folks, which has generally been true, in part because the bush administration deprioritized going after them.

Clearly you weren’t paying attention in English.

Obviously if he did say no, they wouldn’t make him eat it. But the thing is, he’s not gonna say no, because of the implication.

I’m literally taking hydroxychloroqine right now. There’s no difficulty in accessing it. Not unless you consider needing a prescription difficult.

You’re hanging out with the wrong people.

Didn’t BlueSky come up with their own federation system because… Fuck you?
I mean, what was wrong with using the ActivityPub standard?

They have mandatory service, though I’m sure very few people serving their mandatory term are a part of the invading force.
- Comment on Baidu CEO warns AI is just an inevitable bubble — 99% of AI companies are at risk of failing when the bubble bursts 5 months ago:
Same thing happened to the Dot Com bubble. The fundamental technology has valid uses, but we’re in the stage where some people are convinced it can be used for literally anything.
- Comment on Concerns Raised Over Bitwarden Moving Further Away From Open-Source 5 months ago:
Nah, the timeline looks like this:
- use account on main
- create backup
- use account on main
- account goes missing from main.
- check backup, account also missing from backup.
Like, it should be in the backup, I proved it was in the original before and after creating the backup. Heck if I know why they went missing.

Dave Grossman is full of shit. This is independent to the potential trauma from killing people (there’s a wide range of reactions to that experience). Dave Grossman is full of shit.

I used to keep a copy of my kepass file in a free Dropbox account.
- Comment on Concerns Raised Over Bitwarden Moving Further Away From Open-Source 5 months ago:
I switched from keepass to Bitwarden because individual entries started randomly disappearing. I’m still discovering missing accounts after switching a couple of weeks ago. Sometime to do with how keepass was opening the files, because when an entry went missing it was gone even from backup files I hadn’t touched since before the entry disappeared.

Yeah, but your fridge doesn’t break every six years. I’m totally on team repair (FrameWork will be my next laptop when this one can’t go on any further, my shoes can be resoled, I just touched up my jacket, etc) but a 10x premium doesn’t exactly make sense, even when you factor in that repairability is unfortunately a niche feature these days.

So I looked them up, and the cheapest home-style refrigerator they sell costs $10,000. Am I missing something or are they really just that expensive?
