He was also a pedophile.

Etterra ,

Tldr, extroverts can be a real pita.

Ships are expensive as hell and drones are comparatively cheap. Missiles too. Ships also take a month off Sundays to build in very obvious places because manufacturing lots of big stuff is pretty obvious to any intelligence analyst posting attention.

Etterra ,

So war, famine, and plague but not necessarily in that order.

Etterra ,

Funny that this post was right under this one on my feed:

I can't believe anyone would buy from Temu. I knew they were Chinese knockoff bullshit the second I saw their first obnoxious ad.

Etterra ,

I don't buy anything from eBay that I can get elsewhere. I didn't even use those other sites. Sure, everything is made in China, but I'm good not trusting China without a more reputable middleman that's subject to American laws regarding things like refunds and such.

Oh good, apartheid techbrobaby wants to create a Lithium Republic because Bananas aren't what he cares about.

Etterra ,

I can't wait for the headline about his SpaceX miscalculated, rammed the station, and initiated a Kessler cascade, obliterating the infrastructure needed for international logistics and communications. Get ready for the sequel to the 1970s everybody!

Etterra ,

Make it a triangle so you can add...

Erotic Horror: We really shouldn't describe this and you definitely shouldn't read it, but we all know it's far too late for any of us.

Etterra ,

Robert Jordan describing all of the characters' clothes in a scene.

Etterra ,

Duh. Anyone with two brain cells to click together could have told you that the second they heard about their refreshed bromance.

Etterra ,

I had MS Works for DOS at home as a ternager. Let's just say I don't miss the way spell check worked before the red squiggly line was invented.

Etterra ,

The opening to Full Metal Jacket hasn't, uh, hasn't aged well.

Etterra ,

I don't think I'd trust having a zipper on my hat.

I want to eat one of these. It's my bucket list. That's it, just this.

McDonald’s Gives Up On ‘AI’ After Comedy Of Errors, Including Putting Bacon On Ice Cream ( www.techdirt.com )

LLMs certainly hold potential, but as we’ve seen time and time again in tech over the last fifteen years, the hype and greed of unethical pitchmen has gotten way out ahead of the actual locomotive. A lot of people in “tech” are interested in money, not tech. And they’re increasingly making decisions based on how to drum...

Etterra ,

A buddy of mine made bacon ice cream once, but um... I think they did it wrong. It was bad. Really really bad.

Etterra ,

They'll doublethink their way out of it somehow.

Etterra ,

Of course it's fucking Japan. Man we never should have nuked that place. I mean sure we got Godzilla out of it, but they're frickin obsessed with nightmarish, uncanny better robots.

Etterra ,

A lot of them haven't changed much in the last few centuries either. Law is a pretty arcane thing. I also suspect they don't want most people to understand it too well. If the legal system is a confusing, overcomplicated, bureaucratic nightmare, then the lawyers will always have job security and charge stupidly high rates for their work.

Man accused of attempted murder in hammer attack over online gaming argument ( www.nbcnews.com )

Edward Kang, 20, flew from Newark, New Jersey, to Jacksonville, Florida, to confront someone he had an online dispute with, Nassau County, New Jersey, Sheriff Bill Leeper said. Court records show he was charged Monday with second-degree attempted murder and attempted burglary....

Etterra ,

I think they already started that villain arc with Loki.

Etterra ,

JFC just give it an LCD screen head that makes emojis and knock this uncanny valley shit off. I'd rather have Codsworth or R2D2 than this homunculus or some latex-faced simulacrum.

Etterra ,

The best part is how this might finally get Netanyahu out of office. He kicked off the war genocide to appease the ultra conservatives, which he needs to hold his government together. If said UCs get hoisted by their own petard, they'll blame him.

Etterra ,

I want to approve every update manually.

Etterra ,

Hey, Chicago food is way better and the child weather kills all the bugs every year. Don't be a wimp, move north. Or what your kids will have to anyway thanks to climate change. Oh yeah, we've never had a hurricane up here.

Etterra , (edited )

You find three goblins in a trenchcoat with a shack full of dubiously acquired merchandise of poor quality. They'll buy your loot for 12 silver, a shiny button, and this really cool bug they found yesterday.

Tesla is recalling its Cybertruck for the fourth time to fix problems with trim pieces that can come loose and front windshield wipers that can fail | The new recalls each affect over 11,000 trucks ( apnews.com )

The company says in the documents that the front windshield wiper motor controller can stop working because it’s getting too much electrical current. A wiper that fails can cut visibility, increasing the risk of a crash. The Austin, Texas, company says it knows of no crashes or injuries caused by the problem....

Etterra ,

Oh hey look the Failtruck is failing - who could have expected that?

Etterra ,

Oh yeah, I forgot about Soundblaster. They have that stupid card a Transformer name and none of us ever questioned it.

Etterra ,

Yes.

Etterra ,

Who the hell can afford a vacation?

Etterra ,

Okay, so why can't we just not use exponentially growing values? Like 96 bit (64 + 36). I'd the something intrinsic about the size increases that they HAVE to be exponential? Why not linear scaling? 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 72, 80, etc.

Etterra ,

15 years later, when the FDA finally approves it, it will cost $11,000 a dose. And good luck trying to get insurance to cover that.

Etterra ,

Too bad it's only one instance. They can never stop the majority of these assholes, just pick away at the occasional examples in a futile effort to scare the rest of them and to behaving.

They've (euro cryptids) have gotten nerfed over the centuries, and the especially nasty ones probably got wiped out during world War II.

Our (American) culture is strongly combative, and our last giant local war was over a century and a half ago or so. The dark things that have crawled forth from our deepest nightmares and waking dreams are far hungrier, crueller, and have had much more time to proliferate than your feeble, mischievous survivors.

Your cryptids crave petty things, like food, stealing names, or the occasional child. Ours crave the end of all things and the souls of the multitudes, to truck is into turning each hand against every other, and ultimately to drag our shattered remnants kicking and screaming into the dark places under the Earth.

Etterra ,

Farewell heroes. I may not have heard of you before, but I shall mourn your departure nevertheless.

Etterra ,

That's okay, humanity had s good run. I imagine we'll have extinctified ourselves way before a space rock could do it. A+ for trying though.

Etterra ,

They were small like dogs too. Remember that scene in Jurassic Park where all the little dinosaurs ganged up on Hammond and ate the shit out of him? Or was that just in the book... Well either way there were small dinosaurs. They just don't get as much press.

Etterra ,

Probably tastes like Totalitarianism and borscht.

Did the Filipino sailors not have sidearms?

Microsoft Edge nags users with a 3D banner to change Windows 11's default browser ( www.windowslatest.com )

Would you use Edge as your default browser on Windows 11 if Microsoft nags you with a 3D banner? Microsoft thinks you would. In a new experiment, which appears to be rolling out to Edge stable on Windows 11, Microsoft has turned on a banner that uses 3D graphics to promote the browser....

Etterra ,

Yeah if you have any idea how she it's user friendly. Not the impressions I get.

Etterra ,

Probably while updating their resumes and looking around for replacement jobs in case they find a better one. I know I would.

Etterra ,

I read somewhere that convincing people to quit was party of some companies' plan when demanding return to office, but as you pointed out, they probably lost their top 10% or more in the quality workers group. So do that introvert parasites can have their "corporate culture" (or more critically, justify leading that bigass office building).

Etterra ,

Eh, looks artsy which is fine if that's what you're into.

Etterra ,

Maybe that's why he had such bad luck with women. He probably didn't even figure it out himself until he was back home and finally got a promotion.

Etterra ,

I didn't think she's gay, probably more pansexual. She had a pretty weird upbringing, if you'll recall, so her sexuality is more like "gender is irrelevant."

Etterra ,

You must not wear glasses.

Etterra ,

I wear glasses and fuck you.
