Employers figured out years ago that caffeine has excellent ROI for productivity. (Amphetamines are probably a close second, but we won’t talk about that right now.)

For Intel to cut basic morale boosters was just pure silliness.

I have been seeing some positive vibes coming from .ml over the last day or so. Kinda cool, actually.

I see an incredible history of shit posting, but as far as I looked back, there wasn’t any spam. Bulk posting shit posts still sticks with a general theme.

Both of those windows routers out there on the Internet are fucked.

trendmicro.com is not a fucking news site.

Those were words, yes.

How the fuck you were able to mash them together like that is beyond me.

Failure modes were not considered.

It’s one of the better bad designs, in some cases. Something, something self-regulating air flow. Even a broken clock is right twice a day, I suppose.

If there was any intelligence involved in our design, it was similar to a kid buying aftermarket parts for his car on eBay that then strapped them to one or two bits of ultra high grade equipment. The end result is something like a nice Supra that drives around town making weird farting noises.

I heard this was actually by design. Nostrils should naturally alternate maximum blowage capacity.

De-escalation is easy: Russia can get the fuck out of Ukraine. All of it.

I just ignored all the ads and any news, so you are likely correct. I did think that most of the games were mobile, but I must have been mistaken in thinking it was playable on Netflix clients on your TV or something.

I used to play Pac-Man on my old FireTV with the controller while I was killing time in the mornings before work, so I thought it was similar in that regard.

It should have been a AAAAA studio. That is where they fucked up.

Or, they fucked up thinking that people wanting to watch movies wanted to play games…

Unfortunately, all it will take is one of the Korean groups to be responsible for destroying another Korean group in Ukraine for any retaliation to make it’s way back to the homeland.

Hell, the story doesn’t even need to be real for one of the Korean governments to start lobbing shells over their border.

Honestly, I think this is the plan. It was super weird for NK to actually blow up roads on the border. With that, combined with the timing of them sending troops to Ukraine is even more sus. This probably has more to do with US elections, than anything else.

A hypothesis is absolutely fair game. I am not going to spend the time to prove it right or wrong in this case, but it’s still 100% legit in my book.

(Just don’t go telling your child spawn that space pot… err… space teapots are definitely the reason that time travel could be possible.)

I hate myths, even ones with good intentions. Things like “Santa” are just teaching kids to be disappointed and that their parents are full of shit.

As a side comment, what in the actual fuck is the tooth fairy?

None of this stuff makes any sense to me, whatsoever.

I am totally going to trust all Microsoft AI stuff now!

They can take that bullshit blog post and shove it. The only goal Microsoft and AI is to make money off you faster, steal more data from you while up-charging you so it can.

Before the disease takes its toll, I have found alcoholics and addicts to be genuinely smart people. Priorities are usually a bit out of whack, but other than that, I usually can’t say anything too bad unless there is some serious criminal activity at play.

While I don’t go to AA anymore due to some core philosophical disagreements, there is still some good content to be found. Mainly, that alcoholics and addicts are simply sick, in the context of this discussion.

Once you get past the outward issues usually on display, there are real people behind the mask of addiction. Unfortunately, it’s only a matter of time before the brain-rot kicks in and most hope is lost. (I have seen some really cool recovery cases though.)

Consoles made sense when they required specialized hardware. The $700 for a PS5 is probably better spent on a much better GPU for a PC, IMHO.

It’s cool if you like consoles! They still have a specific allure, so I get it.

Not much. It’s the space around the ship that moves, not the ship itself.
