For a while, my wife’s contact photo my phone was a Fowler’s toad that we found. This upset her a lot.

Now her pic is a gray treefrog we found on a leaf. She’s much happier as a frog.

Mocking up whole websites seems like a pain. With a Pihole, you can create different service groups for computers and apply a whitelist to just their machines. Plus you get adblocking too!

Own a modern firearm to shoot fascists foot soldiers, as the founding fathers intended…

Mint?

Fuck it. 120k for the household is barely enough for two working adults I have no idea how people with kids afford anything.

Organs are a distinct structure made of multiple tissues. So if this thing is just a few layers of tissue, then you can make the argument that the whole creature is essentially a single-organ organism.

Truth be told, I suspect there is a certain amount of hyperbole in the infographic.

Plenty of videos of people asking trump supporters and good christians at pro-life rallies to sign petitions to guarantee free lunches and childcare for every kid… With predictable results from the people attending.

Props for having the chessboard setup correctly. That is something most movies can’t even manage with hundreds of thousands of dollars spent on consulting.

It’s the implementation part of ending net neutrality, the legal framework was put in during Trump’s last administration. Goal is to make your home network entirely managed and visible to your ISP, who has huge incentives (financial and otherwise) to comply with government requests for information and censorship.

More realistic option is 15 other Logitech wireless device receivers, and you don’t know which one goes to your current mouse and keyboard, so you just leave them all plugged in.

At least, that is my experience working in IT. Personal record was 6.

Not technically true, but I think when you are scaling up from an A380, it becomes much less relevant.

Container garden. I even had one on my North facing balcony in Baltimore.

I dunno, we grow huge amounts of corn for ethanol to replace 15% of the fuel for cars… And it would be multiple times more efficient (in terms of land use) to cover that area with solar panels and phase out ICEs for EVs.

Because I like chaos.

It’s more than just the hardware.

They screwed up by finally forcing everyone onto an objectively shitty OS. Every other time MSlop has dropped support for an OS, they’ve had at least two others to choose from, and one of them was passable.

They screwed up by letting AI vibe code updates, which were then vibe tested and vibe deployed. The last 3 “patch Tuesdays” have been absolute nightmares of system breaking bugs.

They screwed up by sloppily forcing AI in to every aspect of their OS, and then (allegedly) bragging about how the next one is just going to be an AI.

They screwed up by not recognizing that AI is not popular among the common user. There are like 3 people at my workplace who actually use it, and the main thing they use it for is to add fluff to a chat message to turn it into an email.

They screwed up by putting a “line go up” business moron in charge of the company, who then put more “line go up” business morons in charge of the projects and departments. It’s no wonder that the new outlook sucks and is not fully featured, despite being the “default” outlook for years. It’s no wonder new teams is buggy, inconsistent, bloated, and always changing for the worse. It’s no wonder why all the perfectly functional menus and features of 10 have been hidden by slick and useless facsimiles in 11, while confusing and clunky elements of Win95 still lurk in the shadows.

If Microsoft wants to get back on top, they need new leadership. An apology changes nothing, action does. The current man in charge and his posse of yes-men flat out lack the character and understanding to make a good product that people and businesses want to use. They’ve been coasting on the momentum of being the top dog for 30 years, but that source of market force is not infinite.

Jokes aside. You can build you own solar charging station for a few grand.

Not a lot of people can build their own oil extraction and refinement system in their backyard.

On the flip side, might be a good time for everyone to learn about wood gasifiers.

The one thing you are forgetting… Is that Tesla lobbies the regulatory agencies.

For another comparison, the cyber truck is 17 times more likely to burn you to death than the Ford Pinto, a car that is practically synonymous with fire.

Robot/AI

FDR was dead before the first nuclear test dentonation ever occured…

So I can pretty conclusively say that dropping atomic bombs on Japan was not his response for pearl harbor.

Yes, it was sarcastic pedantry.
