Bullets cost money, so bullets are just a way of projecting speech. Finally, a way for the average person to “talk” to a politician where they’ll actually listen.

Does this qualify me to be a Supreme Court judge?

One of ever so many indications that idiots had money in earlier eras.

If you get tinnitus, this little guy won’t bother you at all.

Here’s a song about your troubles.

I wouldn’t say the Quest is cheaper, you just pay a recurring non-cash cost. It’s a price I’m not willing to pay. I’m also not able to pay the expected cost for the Frame right away, but I hope there are enough early adopters to keep the manufacturing line going long enough for me to be able to afford one.

What does it say about your neighborhood when the drug dealers are the most classy people there?

Oh, is that not what you meant?

RFC 3339 FTW!

Open source, and no ambiguous options grandfathered in.

The solution for if they have a father is pretty obvious.

…and then wait a million years.

Everyone above this comment was expressing frustration with using MS products. This doesn’t go away with a VM and personal privacy has no bearing. I have a job that is computer-adjacent, and still use MS products enough to swear at them every day I work. As a former programmer, im not sure I’d want to get back to doing that full-time if I had to use other MS products more. I hear the coding stack is still exceptional.

I’m pretty sure Office 97 was the last version to not use ribbons or have auto-arranging menus. As a support worker, nothing was worse than those two items. Having to walk someone through clicking a series of static menus was so much easier, could even be done in a doc with optional graphics, and the user might learn something in the process. After those things, there was no standard, anything could be anywhere, and there was no guarantee you or the user would know where to find the thing you were looking for. And they called it progress.

I wish I believed this would happen, and desperately hope America proves me wrong.

And not a violet in sight. I thought this market was cornered!

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: there is a place for permissive licenses. A great example is reference code for open standards, eg. TCP/IP.

It’s been a while since I’ve seen a Kafka reference.

My bad! I simply couldn’t tell in the thumbnail, but you easily can in the full-sized picture. That’s a little more honest, at least. But you can bet that tractor only goes on that lawn for photo shoots.

Not bothering to read this, but that picture in the thumbnail really encapsulates the performative nature of politics. Giant porch, elstylish furniture, huge expanse of well-manicured lawn backed by a hedge…and a John Deere tractor parked on that lawn. Just regular people!

It sounds like the hiker was reasonably qualified, and had a device to contact emergency services if things changed (assuming he was still able to use them). Certainly not the choice I’d make, but my qualifications are much different.

Because normally dogs shouldn’t be in restaurants.

100 mg caffeine 15 minutes before a company meeting keeps me awake with effort for the next hour. If the speaker is boring, raise that to 200 mg.
