I used to watch Rick and Morty but it stopped being funny around season four and the fanbase is cringe. Strike 1, 2, and 3

All that we want to do is see to it that we live another 100 years is that so god damn polarizing?!?!

You've been led to believe all of this is a malthusian "die off" that the GOP will make happen one way (ruining the earth to maintain its special privilege) or another (bringing about some kind of holy war). Stop it.

Accepting any kind of domineering makes you subject to be controlled. Don't accept it.

Unless you're trying to be a switch. In that case, bigger dick tops.

I have no doubt he will get his blasted pay raise, but it went from being a "surefire bet" to a "bet" in the past few weeks. Collapses usually start slow and then they pick up speed

Microsoft needs to re-evaluate the support window, because nobody's buying Windows 11. They fucked themselves with the high hardware requirements.

Of which I pay for, I have no issue paying Bitwarden for good work. And I use Bitwarden on-site myself.

He is broke. He spent his money on a website, immediately crash and burned it, and interestingly wants the purchase value back as pay from Tesla's board.

This shit don't pay for itself

Why the tesla board hasn’t sent him packing yet is beyond me.

His board is full of friends, family, and other sycophants.

Shareholders won't vote Elon out because he is sadly the one reason its so highly valued, and if he goes, the stock price does with it. They won't do anything until the company is on fire, and its not yet.

Given that yesterday's layoff news did nothing to the stock price, we're getting there.

He's not working for the Saudis. Bonesaw showed up and told him what to do. Or else.

I think this can be both a benefit and a risk, since Mastodon is still what it is and won't change because of a board. Biz could provide Eugen a lot of insight, but by the same risk, Eugen may want out and turn Masto profitable.

And if I recall correctly TSA union had to fight for YEARS to get film dosimeters. Something every hospital requires for radiology/nuclear medicine staff

Right! That's why you have the FSD turn it over to the driver the moment a crash is unavoidable to make the driver liable.

I said this once elsewhere i'll say it again: The NCR is our best bet at Civilization. Sure they represent all the problems we live with now, but its an upgrade from meritocracy (Mr. House) and an order of magnitude from fascist might makes right (Legion). If you want a happy ending go play a Bethesda game.

Fallout TV Show spoilers

Doesn't fucking matter anymore because Shady Sands being obliterated pretty much ended the NCR

I would come in here and say you're wrong, but out of both acknowledging that nobody agrees on what's "right" in a Fallout game, and a sense of refreshment and calm from sleep; I feel like you are owed something most internet comments don't get. A rationale.

A lot of my sentiment and feelings on Fallout's setting is not really informed by the game, but by the other post-nuclear fiction I've consumed over my life. Most notably, the film Threads which impact on me comes before Fallout (I only started playing Fallout in its wake, as I started to absorb this genre of work after seeing a friend's bootleg VHS). If Fallout is the sometimes bleak, but at least hopeful; Threads is just plain bleak. And there can be no confusion by the time its over, there is no sense of civilization coming back to save us. This was the resounding viewpoint of nuclear war sold to us from the 1980s onward: that to stop the inevitable, we had to believe that there would be nothing worth living for.

I feel like this conflict is why Fallout ended up being the way it is. Same with Mad Max, you have to provide some sense of life after the end to even have a story, and this changes how I perceive what's best. Any kind of civilization seems like a step up from, well, worst case scenario. Sure, the NCR is as has been pointed out, the return of all the old world's mistakes. But to a survivor who huddled into shelter watching the world end, a return to the status quo, as bad as it is, well that's an upgrade right?

We're probably far away on what we think is right for the Mojave Wasteland, and that's Obsidian's intent.

We built things like Lidars and ultrasound because we want better than our eyes at depth and sight.

I can see the need for those engineers but more importantly, Spotify needs sales people.

I'm certain the FPGA implementations exist going off MiSTer.

TI uses an outside vendor, SK Hynix I believe, for their calculator chips. Z80 isn't going anywhere.

It is worrying though since I follow Collapse OS and a lot of its design aims at the Z80 due to its abundance. Killing off the DIP Z80 gives me some pause.

My one regret is getting stuck in one of those DLC sidequests. Ugh. I really just need the easy levels.

So let me get this straight: Hashicorp gets private equity'd, changes its license to be a rentseeker against Amazon and Google, and now sells itself to the OG rentseeker.

What the fuck happened to open source?
