The fact that he finds this joke funny says a ton about him. I get the roast comedy angle people bring up here, but I just don't see how anyone could find that line funny.

I mean, I'm a leftist, an anti-racist, and yet there are are some racist jokes I still find funny due to the way they're crafted, even if I don't tell them anymore because some people still take them on the first degree (both racists and non-racists.)

But I just don't see the joke here.

You can do that today. Just ask Chat-GPT to write you a bash script for something non-obvious, and then debug what it gives you.

The Democratic Order of Planets has a streaming platform, now?

Why doesn't someone just fork it and change the name?

Like, I dunno, "Super Human Image Treatment" or "Consistently Lovely Image Treatment Oriented for Real Imaging Stars"

The term you're looking for is "uncanny valley"

From what I've heard, she didn't remaster, she rerecorded those albums. These are new performances.

Wouldn't be rare for someone in Québec to ask "Comment tu t'appelles?" but it's generally understood that this is "colloquial" French, whereas "Comment t'appelles-tu?" is the correct way to say and write it in French.

It's generally better to learn the "correct" language before you start applying colloquialisms.

Have you tried photopea.com ? I dunno if it's light enough for you, but it's basically Photoshop in your browser, done in JavaScript.

Cuts like a knife, don't it?

Could you imagine forgetting The Matrix, but not the sequels?

Unless you turn on "original sound for musicians" Zoom uses AI to filter the audio for voices mainly. I rarely if ever hear any keystrokes or mouse clicks anymore... Lots of other non voice noises get filtered out.

Doing more with less until we can do everything with nothing!

People who make everything they're involved with worse gotta stick together.

You're trying to apply objectivity to a very subjective area. I'm not saying it's impossible, and you should by all means try it, but maybe it would be a good idea to try something that has a better chance, first, such as this:

How about an open platform for scientific review and tracking? Like, whenever a new discovery or advance is announced, that site would cut through the hype, report on peer review, feasibility, flaws in methodology, the ways in which it's practical and impractical, how close we are to actual usage (state of clinical trials, demonstrated practical applications, etc.)

And it would keep being updated, somewhat like Wikipedia, as more research occurs. It needs a more robust system of review to avoid the problems that Wikipedia has, and I don't have the solution for that, but I believe there's got to be a way to do it that's resistant to manipulation.

I don't know if it's my favorite, but A Day in the Life by The Beatles is quite a ride.

Crêpes > pancakes

Wouldn't want people to start calling her a maverick. That doesn't usually go well for candidates.

Reread your attempt again.

I gotta have my naturally sparkling Perri-air

I'm sure he got a little cum on his back at some point.

People complain about the total cost too get everything in The Sims, but I don't remember anyone complaining about the total cost of every song in Rock Band.

Well then I've got a bonne to pick with you. And don't try to sweep it all under the rug!

I think someone forgot to go back and edit their question

Someone would just release a mod that replaces the ads with Monty Python sketches.

I love Bakshi's LotR and Wizards but I think his best movie is American Pop. Not as WTF as Wizards, but it's so epic!

More like 1D tic tac toe

Distilled water is safe to drink, as long as you have a balanced diet that includes all the vitamins and minerals your body needs.

The claim that it "leeches" those minerals out of you isn't supported by any real evidence.

I used to drink distilled water at home for years with no side effects.

You assume there's lots of chemicals, but did you check? The process of canning food doesn't necessarily require a lot of chemicals: a lot of canned food is cooked in the can, after it's sealed, which kills most of the microbes that might spoil the food and make you sick. And because it's sealed, no microbes can get in, either.

Time is money

Makes you long for golden parachutes that don't open when their 737 Max loses an engine or two

Kind of ironic that the content they can't monetize through ads is the content they're blocking from third parties

I see the love thing as creating a kind of resonance, such that things that resonate together are drawn to one another, and can sync up.

That's how, when he's inside the event horizon, he can jump to the right moments to create the effects he needs to create. Those moments "resonate" with him, and the love between his daughter and him is that resonance.

Check out Gandahar. Anyone who thinks Star Trek has the most messed up time travel plotlines needs to watch this.

Resistance is futile. (Sorry, I couldn't resist)

And the hot wings use the other kind of mace

Democratic Order of Planets?

All those comments, and only you knew what was really up? People really do treasure their ignorance...

She's worth .5 of the original price. At most.

With Product Placement!

Say you have an average size house, with a 2-car garage on the side. You decide to change that garage into a small apartment for renting. You need to add a wall or two, add insulation, build up a kitchen area (with proper water and power) and a bathroom.

Imagine how much that would cost you for that single apartment. Now multiply that by, say, 50, to convert a large office building into 50 residential rental units. Even with economies of scale, that's still going to cost millions...
