I'm an electrical engineer living in Los Angeles, CA.
My head canon is that Tony Stark has a superpower: everything he builds works the first time.
If it's really complicated, like an entirely new Iron Man suit, then it might malfunction once in an amusing way. Then he tightens a screw and it's perfect. It never fails outright or bricks itself.
In my experience, this is not how hardware or software development goes. I want this power so much.
Finally, OJ can rest knowing his wife’s killer is dead.
AOC for President.
Simple solution: Don't connect it to the Internet. Hackers hate this one weird trick.
If you don't rock and stone, you ain't coming home.
Phase 1: Fuck around
Phase 2: Find out
It's not about money, it's about sending a message.
Own a musket for home defense, since that's what the founding fathers intended. Four ruffians break into my house. "What the devil?" As I grab my powdered wig and Kentucky rifle. Blow a golf ball sized hole through the first man, he's dead on the spot. Draw my pistol on the second man, miss him entirely because it's smoothbore and nails the neighbors dog. I have to resort to the cannon mounted at the top of the stairs loaded with grape shot, "Tally ho lads" the grape shot shreds two men in the blast, the sound and extra shrapnel set off car alarms. Fix bayonet and charge the last terrified rapscallion. He bleeds out waiting on the police to arrive since triangular bayonet wounds are impossible to stitch up. Just as the founding fathers intended.
Can anyone prove it's NOT an extra-long cow?
Obviously someone with BEAST MODE activated.
I have it on good authority that color-coded uniforms are the future.
Incentives like this are tricky. You can reduce the numbers by fixing the problem, or by sweeping it all under the rug. Guess which is easier to do on a quarterly basis?
I didn't know about that. At my company, the head of HR (3.5x average salary) recently told everyone, "If you want a higher salary, go work at [rival company]." This was onstage in front of ~150 people.
It's such a common mistake. The doctor who creates Mary Shelley in Frankenstein's novel doesn't have a name.
"First couple of months"!? Doom Eternal was released March 2020.
This site opens a popup asking to share info with 800+ marketing partners. Fuck no.
This is the mental equivalent of Saitama's workout from One Punch Man: 100 sit-ups, 100 pushups, 100 squats, and a 10-km run. (Repeat daily until your hair falls out.)
Is this why Ian McCollum's videos are getting altered? Over the years, he's had many historical deep-dives featuring firearms from the Murphy's auction house. In recent months, he's been re-uploading those videos to cover their logo with the word "Morphy's". Even though the auctions are long over, I suppose Google counts them as promoting sales.
Oh no, the leopards ate my face.
Cowsay is a vital program. I've never understood why it isn't installed by default in every distro.
"I'd like to share a revelation I've had during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species. I realized that you're not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with their surrounding environment, but you humans do not. You move to another area, and you multiply, and you multiply, until every natural resource is consumed. The only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet. You are a plague, and we are the cure." -Agent Smith
Counterpoint: Put it inside the phone, where it belongs.
It's a parody of overserious memes that are trying to sound edgy and badass. The archetype is a gun-wielding skeleton that's riding a motorcycle and saying something about thin blue lines, but wolves and other imagery are also adjacent.
Instead, THE_PACK takes that aesthetic, cranks it up to 12, and adds some silly text. Everyone is role-playing as a skeleton that's obsessed with motorcycles (hogs). You have to TALK IN ALL CAPS to be heard over the engine noise. And everyone's friendly and welcoming in a way that edgelords aren't.
A few great examples from the last year or so:
They're indistinguishable because they're copied from top-voted posts that are a few years old (title, text, and image if applicable). It's guaranteed to produce a post that fits the community and gets a lot of engagement, so it's a cheap and effective way to mature a bot account. Once you start looking for it, it's everywhere, and Reddit admins don't care.
This is a quote from The Onion's endorsement of Joe Biden for president, which was posted October 3, because it's The Onion.
I'm sorry, but this is an AMA, so your posts must be in the form of a question:
Fuck /u/spez ?
I'm tired of having to choose between "Uvalde shooter" and "Uvalde cops" in every election. Fucking do something or get out of the way.
Oh yeah? I'm gonna steal all ur megahertz by typing really fast!
"I'm telling you, Molotov cocktails work! Any time I had a problem and I threw a Molotov cocktail, boom! Right away I had a different problem." -Jason Mendoza
For those who didn't read the article:
Some researchers in Germany contacted some satellite manufacturers, and asked to see their firmware. Unsurprisingly, most didn't even bother replying.
(I don't know what they expected... Try emailing any tech company with the same request.)
The three oddballs that did reply are random experimental cubesats. I sincerely doubt they are representative of the industry at large.
That's weird, the watermark says, "I have altered the deal. Pray I do not alter it further."
US Army logistics catalogs are organized this way. "Cookies, oatmeal" instead of "Oatmeal cookies" because it's a lot easier to find what you need an a giant alphabetical list.

Don't you mean "landed gentry"? /s
Fuck Spez.
Punchr did it first. (Comedy skit by Loading Ready Run.)
Her voice sounds exactly the same as Waluigi's.
It's like Republicans are the ones doing a school shooting, and Democrats are the Uvalde cops twiddling their thumbs outside the school.
