These are all amazing. Thank you.

Cue Cave Johnson: “The bean counters told me we literally could not afford to buy seven dollars worth of moon rocks, much less seventy million. Bought 'em anyway. Ground 'em up, mixed em into a gel. And guess what? Ground up moon rocks are pure poison. I am deathly ill.”

> Astronauts would never be as stupid as they're depicted in that film, things like "oh gee I think I'll take my helmet off around all this potential biohazard."

My head-canon explanation for this is that a good portion of the crew specifically were not astronauts -- they were experts in their field (geology, anthropology, etc.). And true-to-form, they were dismissive of other experts telling them NO, NO DO NOT REMOVE YOUR HELMET. And once the first few were exposed the others decided well, if there's a problem with it we're already screwed anyway.

UBI for very small values of U.

Corporate death rattle.

No. It has always been feel-good BS.

This is me. High Life is now my go-to. I guess the hop-bombs and the trending flavor-blast-du-jour that craft beer descended into just wore me out. And $0.50/can vs $2.50/can sure doesn't hurt.

Came here to say this exact same thing. It had a beautiful soundtrack, too. https://austinwintory.bandcamp.com/album/flow

I know that there is already a reply to this effect, but to repeat YOU CANNOT TURN OFF SMART HDR ON NEW IPHONES. Astonishingly stupid.

Nah, that's just a "too many connections hug" costume that the server is wearing.

This is entirely new to me, but the impression I have is that it's _somewhat_ about the awkwardness but _way more_ about the extreme specificity. My Seinfeld neurons are firing like mad in sympathetic response.

"We the People" of? Of what?

Sure depends upon the side effect we didn't understand, doesn't it?

Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra. Shaka, when the walls fell.

If art's worth is merely the response it illicits, bravo. Vile.

Ooof. dockerd is gonna be _pissed_.

It is beautiful. Do it. Works best with sweetish-savory items. I first stumbled upon it when I put peanut butter & Sriracha on an omelette filled with pork sausage, bacon, and browned onions / mushrooms.

Throw some sriracha on that BK PB burger and that would be _magnificent_.

This is giving the dystopian chills when I consider that the Uber-wealthy proponents of population reduction (Bill Gates) are buying up crop land. Long game?

I just hope they can figure out how to suspend it in worthless bits of gold.

And yet… now I am deeply wishing for this. :-)

Also, a pie slice is "Side Taco" (not "taco on its side").

Floating Toast

For me it's mostly that they no longer announce anything that I _want_. I guess I'm not a pro-sumer looking to spend $3k+ on a workstation.

Totally get it, huge not-a-fan of the endless JS framework race. _However._

- Constructing a House Using Only Wood Glue

- Removing That Appendix Yourself

- Boiling an Ocean with Two Sticks

- Granting Your Own Wishes Without a Genie

- Hosting Your Own Funeral

So… begging the question. How did those sanctions go then?

So are you opposed to all forms of public political speech, or just that which you’re opposed to?

This looks to be an ISP issue and not AWS.

- It's not my fault: check - I'm busy: check - Making money: check

At some point we need to stop the coddling. Sink or swim people.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I would be terrified to have a needy, unreliable network of "smart" smoke / fire detectors. How is that even remotely acceptable?
