Protect your right to punish your leaders.

Check out The Bulwark podcast. Tim Miller seems like a pretty normal gay guy, who is a republican, and hates the shit out of Trump. I honestly can’t conceive of who Vance is talking about with this.

Yay! But wait, what?

I didn’t understand what imgur had become before I clicked the link and briefly thought the library had lots of copies of Twisters in 4k.

Me: Hey, boss. I’m going to appeal that thing you told me to do.

Boss: Well, firing you might seem politically partisan, so I guess I’ll have to let it go.

Who will carry on the knowledge of what the a:\ and b:\ drives were?

I immediately thought of this, and wished I lived in the area just so I could go leave the most devastating shit in one of those toilets.

I don’t have any idea really, but one possible contributing element is the speed of delivery. My understanding (possibly incorrectly) is that western comics are more commonly delivered on a one book per month cycle, whereas Manga delivers a lot more content in the same time period. Part of this production time can probably be attributed to coloring time (Western comics color every panel vs Manga printed in mostly black and white).

There’s also the accessibility of Manga and anime, having relatively newer characters without the burden of decades of backstory (not accounting for One Piece). Running an anime with (mostly) similar story line helps to bring potential new readers up to speed quickly with Manga, whereas the animated adaptations of western comics often seem to pick specific story arcs of comics, or make up entirely new stories.

This is why we need to ban hurricanes.

If I just use a projector, do i still have to worry about the maker of the tablet that connects to the projector doing the same thing?

The panopticon was originally designed as a prison, so effectively Ellison is saying, “wouldn’t the world be great if everyone were in prison?”

Fracking technology has some potential upside in the climate discussion, https://time.com/6302342/fervo-fracking-technology-geothermal-energy/

A ban on fracking might not be the best solution if you want to move the technology towards something more beneficial to the fight against climate change.

They make phones. I had to look this up since I had never heard of this company.

I would find it weird to be referred to as Nothing staff, or a Nothing employee.

I went to a gamestop a few months ago to see if they had any games for my Gameboy Advance. The dude at the register said I might have better luck at the “retro game” store in the next town over. I nearly spit out my Crystal Pepsi at him.

But for the near term, maybe it means they have to stop putting Carrie Fisher in stuff?

Anyone’s 2024 politics Bingo card have “IDK, some DaVinci Code shit” on it?

Wasn’t it Don Jr that convinced his dad to pick Vance? Not that I think Trump concerns himself much with his family, but he’s going to have to throw someone under the bus for the decision to go with Vance in the first place. Don Jr might have to go back to being 5th favorite child.

Death Valley: Whatevs, I got yer shoes

Are rifle teams common in high schools? I mean I know that sport shooting is a thing, but I never heard of a high school with a rifle team. I went to high school in WA state.

I have a guncon3 somewhere around. It works with a pair of sensors placed on top of the TV, like in the PS Eye and XBox Move era. No CRT was required for that.

The length of the cable between the sensors was made for something like a 40" screen though, so if you play on a larger screen they sit a bit toward the center instead of in the corners where they are supposed to be.
