I like that the line you quoted from the article is pretty much a bait and switch.

*I kinda dig the layout of that website.

I couldn’t do that with my Hisense. There was no way to move past linking an email.

Eh, I would say investment into R&D should be encouraged and maybe allow tax write offs. Even of the end goal is a private power source. Once that R&D turns into workable, operable, sellable products, then tax the fuck out of them. Perhaps disallow making things that can be a boon to public infrastructure from being deem proprietary, so that it can be more easily adapted to public use.
I dunno, I’m typing from my couch after a few beers.

Welp, guess I’m listening to Queen.

How? I mean, it’s just so easy to get a new ID, birth certificate, social security number, credit history, etc. You just assume a new one.

As a user of threaded fasteners, the inclined plane.

There was a time where the tag line for Dark Souls was “Prepare to Die”

That’s a neat fun fact, but I didn’t buy Dark Souls, known for its difficulty, I bought Elden Ring, notable for its beautiful open world and complex meandering story.
Beating Malenia’s ducky dance or chasing the Elden Beast around the arena for half an hour is not as interesting as all the questions created by the multiple stories and characters in the world. Or how Marika has betrayed or been betrayed. How Godfrey was cast aside only to be recalled when The Order needed protecting. Or how Godwyn pollutes the world above his carcass.
No part of the story will be diminished if the player is given a slight edge in combat. The combat often isn’t even that fuckin good, it’s just pattern memorization.
Some of you try hards are just, ugh, go back and sit down on your shit bucket. The rest of us are trying to have fun with our video games.

I hate the Cybertruck as much as the next guy, but this could really boil down to just tire choice and nothing more.

Or, this sounds like tactical planning in case of an invasion, to prevent access of valuable resources to the invaders. Making it “need to know” makes perfect sense.

I believe you’re thinking of in-n-out.

Their fries just fucking get me. They carry the meal. I don’t eat McD’s often but the fries always deliver the exact disappointment I’m expecting and I eat every single one.

Yeah yeah. Same same.

Because back in my (our) day Pluto was number, so Planet X worked. Planet VIIII doesn’t look as good.

I simply cannot get revanced to even download to my phone, and I’m not smart enough to troubleshoot it.

No there’s not, the scan thats been used has cropped out the nudity, it’s in like the second paragraph,

Usage of the Lenna image in image processing began in June or July 1973 when an assistant professor named Alexander Sawchuck and a graduate student at the University of Southern California Signal and Image Processing Institute scanned a square portion of the centerfold image with a primitive drum scanner, omitting nudity present in the original image. They scanned it for a colleague’s conference paper, and after that, others began to use the image as well.

You should risk reading the article before you sound like you don’t know what you’re talking about.

The article barely even touches want had been happening in Myanmar. The military coup, the rounding up and murder of civilians… but what about China!?

Maybe riding a motorcycle has made me hypersensitive to it, but it seems, yes. I see all of you and so many of you are on your cell phones while driving. It’s bad enough I’ve learned to spot you from a hundred yards behind; the subtle drift of your car, checking your speed with the brake pedal, you aren’t smooth in stop & go traffic.
It apparently is a challenge for a lot of you to stay off your phones, a-fucking-lot of you. So it looks like WisDOT is speaking to many of you like children, because many of your fellow drivers are acting like children, unable to prioritize operating their 3,000lbs+ machine safely over Instagram/tik tok/Twitter or whatever the fuck.

That’s always been my take. The Navy has the experience with big-ship operations, and operating smaller craft from those large ships, and it’s supply and logistics would likely evolve from ocean to space faring ships.
The Marines are historically an amphibious force, an extension of the Navy, specialized in ship-to-ship and ship-to-shore operations; ship-to-surface would be the evolution of that.
