The responsibility has been successfully transferred to the taxpayers.
A sci-fi drama about a guy who develops a brain tumor. The tumor becomes sentient and can communicate with the man through their shared thoughts. Over time, they develop a kind of friendship. At the end, the man must undergo brain surgery to remove the tumor. Despite being able to prevent the surgery somehow (haven't worked this part out yet), the tumor allows it to happen anyway, knowing that it must die in order for the man to live.
I think I would write this as a short story, but I've never written any fiction before and don't even know how to start.
This documentary was inspired by the murder of Gunnar Gunnarssonsson: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-OOpZitfd0
Yes officer, this comment right here.
This image would make H. P. Lovecraft shudder in disgust.
Ah yes, you're right. I always confuse her character's name with the title of the film.
I'm starting to suspect that these Fox News guys might be somewhat biased.
Meta is a complete dumpster fire
Nothing profound here, just need to vent: I haven't used Facebook for several years now, but I just got my 10 year old son a Meta Quest 2 and had to activate it by linking to my Facebook account. Just two days later I got a warning that the account will be locked because they detected that a child was using the Quest with an adult account (maybe because of the types of games he was playing?). My options are to either make him his own, restricted account (requires a credit card for verification) or prove that I am in-fact an adult (requires photo ID). No fucking way is Facebook getting either my credit card or photo ID. This is some sorry attempt to extort even more personal info from people. I can't understand how so many people tolerate this. How is this company still in business, let alone worth half a trillion dollars? If I had known how bad things have gotten, I would never have bought their VR.
Looking for a funny story that's been posted before
A few months ago I saw a funny story about a guy who added generics/templates to JavaScript (or maybe TypeScript?) by using runic characters that look like angle brackets to enclose the template parameter, then using a preprocessor to convert the runes, etc. to actual, legal types before compilation. I can't seem to find it anywhere; hoping someone knows what I'm talking about.
Bluetooth-to-3.5 mm that can TX/RX simultaneously?
I need to adapt a Bluetooth headset (speakers + mic) to 3.5 mm, but the only adapters I can find will either transmit or receive, not both at the same time. Is there some technical limitation why this can't be done, or is there just no market for such a device? Thanks.
