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.

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.

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.

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.

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 ,

What part of "spike down" in the previous image did you not understand?

Etterra ,

Clearly it's a handle grip, not strapped. Most shields are, it gives greater mobility and utility.

Etterra ,

Yeah they got McDonald's chicken nuggets. Like dude, go get some Wendy's. You've got nose spice so I know you understand how to be classy - now get your shit together.

Etterra ,

I don't get Juneteenth but I didn't have to, it doesn't affect me. Although personally I think the name is weird - it's definitely grammatically incorrect. But whatever, y'all have fun. I like Mac'n'cheese though.

Etterra ,

I'd probably just shoot my younger self. It's not suicide when it's murder. Or something. Anyway obliterating the universe with a paradox would definitely be a better result than the hell we're currently living in.

Etterra ,

Of course not. It lets their office or even corporate computers change the prices in real time whenever they feel like it. Hypothetically, you could pick something off a shelf where the digital signset $3, and by the time you walked it up to a register, it cost $4. It's like changing the price of something in a shop simulation video game after the customer has picked it up, and now they have to pay $9,999.99 for a bag of potato chips.

Etterra ,

If my - or any other - complex had charging stations, I'd consider it. The most I'd ever be able to get is a hybrid, if I wasn't so dirt-ass poor that an old and busted used car was the best that I could afford, because I'm disabled and live in friggin America.

Etterra ,

I mean they can try.

Etterra ,

Only one of the reason I will never use fingerprints. Go get a fucking warrant.

If you're determined to inflict harm yourself for religious reasons, not only do I not care if it kills you, but I'll mock you afterwards for it.

How do you get people to wash their vegetables when you're at their house and you don't wanna seem rude?

So awkward, but come on it says right there on the package to wash those mushrooms or whatever it is… You’re not their mom but you don’t wanna eat feces or whatever ended up on the produce. A quick rinse is never going to be perfect but it’s better than nothing....

Etterra ,

Just remember to set the water to cold.

Etterra ,

Well it has the capability of trying. It would end up costing them insanely more than it could possibly gain, but still.

Etterra ,

Quark would have cleaned up in the current economy. I mean he'd be dead in about a decade when WW3 hits in-universe, but still.

Etterra ,

That just means your family eats child or reheated food or goes to bed hungry.

Etterra ,

Translation: the AI was worse at it than even Drunk Steve after a 3-day bender.

Etterra ,

Doesn't the quagmire currently known as the website formerly known as Twitter already have this feature? Sounds like Y'tube is late to the party.

Etterra ,

So what is its "unique vision" and how badly had it been co-opted by racists?

Etterra ,

Because it leaves the industry vulnerable in case China decides to start withholding sales to the US. Especially if they invade Taiwan and trigger a chain reaction of treaties that launches into a huge US vs China slugging match. One which China would likely lose painfully to, but would inflict crippling damage to our military. Anything coming out of China will be stopped for as long as the war goes on, and then even longer depending on how much of what I'm China actually got destroyed.

How did they get a Cyberderp to tow a float down a street without it breaking down? Is it powered by fairy wishes and unicorn farts?

4th grizzly hit, killed along Trans-Canada Highway in B.C. park ( www.nanaimobulletin.com )

"Visitors are asked to respect posted speed limits and no-stopping zones at all times, as well as stay alert and prepared to encounter wildlife at any time, even when driving along fenced sections of the highway. By reducing speeds, driving alertly, and giving wildlife space and respect, you can help reduce wildlife mortality."

Etterra ,

I've seen how badly deer can wreck cars, I'd hate the see what a bear does. Probably better than moose, those things are too cars what a can opener is to a Campbell's soup.

Etterra ,

Remember that Friend Computer loves you. Returning that love TO Friend Computer is MANDATORY, and failure to comply will be considered treason and thus grounds for IMMEDIATE TERMINATION. Thank you citizen and have a mandatorily happy day!

Etterra ,

That's not fair. My wood elves are Reavers, my high elves are Nazis, and my drow are Morlocks.

Etterra ,

Or Warcraft.

Company: how can we convince out of shape tech bros to spend $10k on a bicycle?

Etterra ,

Probably just lavender colored with a rainbow flag or something. It doesn't really matter, corporations didn't care, they just want your money.

Etterra ,

But is it more harmful than inhaling all the other garbage in cigarettes? It becomes an issue of damage mitigation because no amount of laws are ever able to stop substance use. They often make the problem worse, too.

Etterra ,

It took them this long? Impressive. Idiotic, but still impressive.
