I expected this cartoon to be about Charlie Kirk’s wife, for some reason.

The headline should be “…deliberately sabotaging combat effectiveness.” Allowing corporations to cash in is really fucking bad, but it still manages to not be the worst part about this!

It’s even better with that facial expression.

One day, when I’m feeling particularly rich, I might try a chicken bake or even a turkey sandwich. But as it stands, the $1.50 hotdog is the only thing there I consider relevant.

(Okay, okay… I begrudgingly buy pizza slices for my fancy-pants family members who turn their noses up at Costco’s awesome hotdogs. But still…!)

Jeez, you eat ten $1.50 hotdog and soda combos in one sitting?!

It always is.

Lt O’Connor: The universe is balanced on the back of a giant sausage! Why is he smiling? What does he know?!

Jennifer: What are you doing?
Beckett Mariner: Cardio. Plus a little strength training.
Jennifer: So you work out by staging Cardassian prison breaks?
Beckett Mariner: Yeah. What do you do?
Jennifer: Uh, sausage?
Beckett Mariner: Wow, how unique!

Shaxs: It’s nothing to do with rank, son. We’re sparing you dark truths about sausage depravity that would haunt you for the rest of your days. Once you know, you can never go back to being the man you were before.

Flat CRTs were probably even heavier than curved ones because the glass has to be thicker to hold vacuum with a less structurally-efficient shape.

I’d check the modlog and nothing.

IIRC, “ban user” with “remove content” fails to get recorded in the modlog. Since that’s inconsistent with “remove post” getting logged, I assume it’s a bug.

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) “everlasting,” eh?

Can we have “break up the tech giants” along with it?

The main thing is that (as a relative novice) you’re going to want something with a good community around it. Therefore, you want either Arduino, ESP32, or Raspberry Pi Pico.

There’s a bunch of different ones with different features that may have varying usefulness for your particular situation, so nobody can tell you exactly which ones to get down to the model number. You’re just going to have to read the data sheets to figure out which to buy.

Regardless, any reasonable choice ought to be obtainable as off-brand clones in a multi-pack from Aliexpress for single-digit dollars per unit.

Radeon 780M iGPU for a $2 K price (I am assuming this is American style list pricing, even if they are London based) seems like a unattractive proposition.

It’s deceptively good. The 96 gigs of RAM is unified memory, accessible to both the CPU and GPU. It’s not great for gaming, but it punches above its weight running large AI models.

That said, for $2K I’d be looking for something with a Ryzen AI MAX+ 395 and 128 gigs of RAM in it.

If they’re not “heritage artefacts,” they ought to be digitized instead of restored.

Of the movies you listed, Hackers is the only one I’ve seen. Hack the planet!

🎵 Portami a casa, vie di campagna 🎶

Those KPop Demon Hunter songs are really tricky to sing alone, even the English parts, because they’re intended for multiple people and some of the lyrics almost overlap. I have trouble keeping up.

Edit: maybe it’s just “Soda Pop” that does that.

Oh boy, McCarthyism 2.0!

Contrary to my limerick, your phrase wasn’t incomprehensible, just odd.

Is your native language French? My Duolingo lessons lead me to believe that’s likely. Either way, rest assured that your English is way better than my skill in whatever your other language is!

Edit: also, thanks for the compliment! (I meant to lead with that, but got distracted attempting to multitask.)
