This is exactly how she managed to advance so quickly. By being willing to spout this BS on demand.
With all the phone booths taken away, where is Superman supposed to change now?
Wait. There are not hundreds of sexy single women in my area ready to have sex with me right now?
It is essentially their way of making climate change denialism seem reasonable and open-minded. I think if somebody came up with a miracle device to magically reverse everything, they’d complain it’s too costly at any price.
Yup. When/if we do find a way to dial back global warming, billionaires will be screaming for us to not use it because they've already found ways to make money off of people dying.
In California, restaurants were sneaking in 3% upcharges. They started out as "we're adding 3% to pay the state-mandated health care costs for our employees." It quickly progressed to "we're add 5% to your total bill because fuck you."
California recently mandated that practice illegal and requires all "extra fees" to be reflected in the prices instead.
Multiple restaurants stated (in public... recorded on TV, no less) that they "would lose business if they stopped this practice because then customers would know how much they're paying up front."
I was amazed at their candor. These "entrepreneurs" don't even know how to be embarrassed by their greed anymore.
That is what the internet used to be. You could reach out to some of the best minds in science and industry. Then they opened it up to the public. And by “public” I mean every degenerate opportunist in the world.
I just assume these are the same marketing types that will spend billions in ads offering anyone under the sun 1/2-off everything for a year. Customers that have been paying faithfully every month for years? Fuck off!
Ransomware you have to pay $10,000 every few years. Crowdstrike you have to pay $1,000 per month. Same number of outages for both. /s
You’re not wrong. I’d argue the iPhone was quite innovative. I laughed when I heard Apple was gonna take on Nokia. Nokia was a juggernaut at the time. Apple presented Nokia’s proverbial head two years later. Quite the turnover. Apple is still living off iPhone profits 15+ years later.
When one of your medium-sized customers felt the need to build their own processor design team, you’re in trouble. When their new design beats yours, you’re done.
The fastest way to save money is to stop spending money. Shut down the business and sell everything off brings in billions and costs nothing. Pure profit and I get huge bonuses! — Most financial/Wall St vultures
Not sure what the deal is with tennis balls, raquet balls hurt a whole lot more!
They consider tennis balls to be raquetball furries.
Now it just sounds like snakes. “You’re with USSS or you’re against USSS.”
What ever happened to micro transactions? Weren’t they supposed to be the way we compensated web producers? Instead we got ads.
What term to search for "oversized" keycaps?
I'm looking for "fat"? keycaps similar to what Matias uses for Esc, Ctrl, Option, Cmd and Space keys on their ErgoPro. What search term should I use to find similar keycaps? I've tried "tall", "fat", "oversized", "big", etc., but I only find extra wide (in the X direction) or extra tall (in the Z direction) rather than in the Y direction. Any help welcome.

Brown Sriracha?
Has Huy Fong Sriracha changed color?
Saw a bunch of bottles at the store today, but instead of their usual brick-red color, the sauce was almost brown. I checked the expiration dates on a few bottles -- the date was June of 2026 (or there abouts, don't remember the exact date), so they weren't expired. Anyone know if these Sriracha bottles are unusual, or is Sriracha brown now?
What are the top processes that degrade pollen?
Grass, weed, tree, just some of the sources of pollen that can send our allergies off.
In my experience, I’ll react (itchy eyes, etc.) for a day or two, then it will wane. Certainly the pollen I’m reacting to doesn’t magically disappear in a day. What processes do I have to thank that allow me to suffer only a relatively short time? Are the allergen in pollen unstable and break down quickly on their own? Are there bacteria or other life forms that are helping to break the allergens down?
Tearing eyes and draining noses want to know!
In the Dune universe, why not use laser weapons as bombs?
In the Dune universe, when a laser weapons hits a shield, both are destroyed in a nuclear explosion reaction.
So instead of building nuclear weapons, wouldn’t it be easier to tie a timer and a “parachute” to a laser gun and drop it from orbit onto your enemy’s city?
