My apologies for omitting the relevant link below:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pricking
I included it as the URL for this post, but also uploaded the image above, thinking both would show up in the post.
I guess the upload overwrote (overrode?) the URL. I’m still learning Lemmy.
Now that looks familar… 🤔
Fitting that the Bene Gesserit “Witches” should adopt such an implement to test their own subjects, lol.
The upgraded sprites look like mobile game rejects.
Succinctly put. I feel like the original vision did not intend for them to look so cartoonish.
Starcraft 1 remaster looked so much better, too. Was that done by the same team?
I’m curious how some automotive drivers’ developed expectations of license plates to be private. Is this some kind of sovereign citizen initiative?
From the article:
…" ‘Oh, that’s a license plate reader.’ I started seeing them all over the place and realized that they were for the police. And I didn’t like that.”
Of course they’re for the police. Why else do these drivers think License Plates exist?
The article does not mention concerns with unwarranted interstate tracking and state authority collaboration, which is a separate issue itself. DeFlock just seems to be about avoiding police surveillance of their cars entirely, which is senseless.
My internet is fast
Was this written in 2002?
Hot damn. This somehow takes me back, but I don’t know how, lol. I found myself nostalgia tripping before seeing any classic imagery.
Thanks for sharing.
Sadly if most computers weren’t ‘walled garden’ experiences then maybe the kids could learn to tinker and fix them. As it is if the issue can’t be fixed from a settings app then they’re stuck.
This all sounds interesting and very complex, but I believe it is misplaced in a ‘Nature’ community. Particularly with statements like:
synthetically engineered to deploy therapeutic payloads
Thank you for the clarification. That was a very risky click.
So did someone f**k a costco rotisserie chicken and this is how I’m learning about it?
I remember being so hyped up for Radeon 680m laptops when outlets first reviewed them in February 2021.
OEMs didn’t get supply until fucking January the next year. PCgamer is 100% correct.
Anyone have a mirror to the clip and/or article? It appears to be paywalled or something. (Account walled?)
I’m already starting to miss these good ol’ fashion human-made photoshop shitposts & memes.

Almost anything involving the space-magic Enterprise D dish between the engine nacels:
Need more power? Modify the main deflector and divert power from shields.
Space anomoly? Bombard it with tachyon particles from the main deflector.
Need to modulate frequency of phaser array because a borg cube adapted to your weapons? Use the main deflector to send a resonance pulse and overwhelm their shields with a flood of positronic particles.
I appreciate the clarification zzz711 :) . I’m with accideath, however. I’m old enough to remember classic photo projectors, but I fail to see the punch line.
Maybe there’s a joke about the Air Force failing to distinguish between Up and Down? Or perhaps the leadership of a project involving such complex mechanics as Nuclear Warheads is not expected to be comically inept with a simple projector.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Some of the needles were found to have hollow handles with retractable points, yep, but not all as far as the article suggests. Invariably some needles would have drawn blood, otherwise the “tests” would have been even less credible to begin with.
As credible as such tests could appear even back then, lol.
