Between this and Dex, there’s little reason left for me to keep using Samsung.

And don’t forget that ships are still stuck in the gulf.

You can’t just order an oil tanker off Amazon.

The reality is people are too busy trying to get by and too tired of all the doom on the news to keep up or care as much as they should about the deaths. They’re tragic, but also disconnected from the day-to-day reality of trying to get by.

Gas prices, however, impact them directly and can’t be ignored.

Is Leon threatening Ellie?

Coworker of mine had sniper’s set up on his front porch and screw tripods into his railing to hold the rifles when the neighbor’s kid had a mental health crisis and threatened suicide.

He was threatening to hang himself, and the parent offered police the keys to the front door after SWAT arrived.

They drove an MRAP through the garage doors, and still ended up using the keys anyway once inside the garage.

Roguelikes/lites are good for me because I’m usually done with a run in under an hour. I have very little time for gaming these days and being able to do it in little doses is great.

FTl, Hades, Slay the Spire, Into the Breech, Heat Signature, etc work well for me.

LCARS Desktop Environment is a distro you can download now.

We need a live-action Batman Beyond movie with Mark Hamill playing an older Joker.

Probably explains why they don’t cut well.

Yeah. We might bomb their schools and assassinate their leaders.

Edit: On second thought… we didn’t bomb Saudi Arabia for 9/11.

Absolutely. PEBKAC is real.

But as a good user, it still annoys the hell out of me.

The only people I can forgive for becoming billionaires are people who inherit or win a big lottery prize.

But in both cases, if they remain billionaires, they’re immoral and have no place in society.

Dude - I just need you to type in the admin password so I can install software or fix whatever is wrong that you don’tunderstand. We really don’t need to spoon.

I wouldn’t actually mind if they actually vetted the software, but they just type in the password and install whatever I click on. I once changed the name of an installer for a new version of QGIS to “IT malware installation test” and they didn’t even notice.

The rockets exploding is differen than the rest. It’s literally rocket science and blowing up a bunch of test vehicles is kinda par for the course, and SpaceX has actually been pretty sucessful overall.

But that has zero to do with Musk.

A terror attack will drum up more support for the war and give them.an excuse to declare emergencies to further trample civil rights.

It’s the best thing that could happen for this administration.

I think the difference between most of the older trek and the newer stuff is that while they did obvious stuff like this, the most impactful social stuff they did was treat revolutionary change as boring.

TOS had a black woman bridge officer, and they didn’t make a big deal about it, because in the future there was nothing remarkable about it.

I work in development and permitting, and in one of my old stories we had a gas story that I use as a warning to this day.

Guy decided to save some money when he installed a fireplace in his new backyard patio by just tapping into the gas line in the hot tub.

The thing about gas lines is that flames don’t travel backwards in them because of the positive pressure and the lack of oxygen in the gas. One day he was burning a fire when the pool heater kicked in and briefly put a vacuum on the line, allowing the fire to get inside the wall of the chimney on the deck and burning down the house.

And since he hadn’t permitted the gas line, insurance didn’t pay for the fire.

Since you’re here - we really need to find a way to spike Dad’s YouTube algorithm. I saw his feed and it was all Fox News and OANN stuff.

My even-more-pedantic take is that poisonous is correct, but imprecise. There’s lots of ways to be poisoned. Ingestion, inhalation, dermal contact, and, yes, injection. But it’s all poison.

A poison is a harmful substance. A toxin is a poison created by a living organism. A Venom is a toxin that’s delivered subcutaneously.

Poison is the parrallelogram to venom’s square.

My Mom always throws out old cables like a week before I head over there and need that specific cable.
