And yet the Borg have wires; what do they know that we don’t?

Hell yeah, a medical bill! Fuckin’ love throwing excessive amounts of money at basic human needs.
I’m planning to get myself new tires when my birthday comes later this year 🙃

The most horrifying possible outcome of a World War is, arguably, there being a definitive “winner”.
Id imagine it doesn’t have to really move fast, just has to sit in the right spot and wait for our orbit around the sun to smash us into it?
I look forward to nvidia being knocked down a peg or two(hundred) and maybe making graphics card prices reasonable again.
Vimes Boots Theory.
The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money.
Take boots, for example. He earned thirty-eight dollars a month plus allowances. A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars. Those were the kind of boots Vimes always bought, and wore until the soles were so thin that he could tell where he was in Ankh-Morpork on a foggy night by the feel of the cobbles.
But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that’d still be keeping his feet dry in ten years’ time, while the poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet.
This was the Captain Samuel Vimes ‘Boots’ theory of socioeconomic unfairness.
Somewhere, in Alpha Centauri, in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying Beware of Leopard, there is a very important looking document titled “This Side Up”.
Not a fan of yachts but it beats the usual rich person hobbies of “buy a politician” or “fund a cult/hate-group”
Valve has been dealing with frivolous lawsuits for stuff like this for a while now, Epic Games just made it very public. I’d put it on par with copyright trolls.
True, though I hope we’ll see a few variations of Killdozer crop up before the end.
Of all the Dystopias, I think we’re closest to Elysium at the moment.
But think of the prank possibilities! Make Rikers legs just a little bit shorter so he whacks himself in the junk trying to sit down! The classic “the office” phone prank but with changing the density of someone’s hand!
Ew. I’m not entering account credentials on anything I don’t own (ie, at work to see a tutorial on something I need to learn).
Stick 'em in the pattern buffer and make it ITs problem to debug living beings.
(Or let other companies polish up a feature/concept for a few years, slap a coat of Space Gray on it, and release it as a revolutionary “new” feature for apple)
I think my retirement plan is to try to train crows to be absolute menaces to society. Like, teach them to pick locks or the best kinds of rocks to break glass (to get into vending machines).
What about crows? Crows are pretty cool
They deliberately DROPPED linux support for rocket league when they bought it. Like, immediately. It’s just a hate-on for Linux.
Bun.
