Wiping your ass with silk is still significantly more friction than water

This was always coming, and we’re going to do fuck all about it. But on the upside, the future is going to be absolutely rad for the .001%

Moving too dumb. Something caused Microsoft to ban OpenAI for its employees last week, probably a massive security blunder that we hopefully get to find out about eventually.

At least he’s not responsible for nemesis

Veep is far and away the most accurate political show we’ve ever had

It’s moderately common in my social circles to argue that South Dakota is a hoax

It would probably cost like $1 of components to make most led bulbs resilient to all but spookiest of power delivery, but why sell something once when you can make them buy it over and over again

200 vulnerabilities, 2-3 that might actually be exploitable, and no prioritization. But look at these metrics!

Cybersecurity, as a profession, is a fool’s errand.

Dedicated security staff exist solely to teach real engineers how to do their job, and the fact that such personnel exist is a catastrophic failure in computer science curriculum

The issue is that we have artificially accelerated the return of carbon to the cycle by burning coal and oil.

It sequesters the carbon while it’s alive, but you’d need to bury the plant deep underground to remove it from the equation

Blow up a coal plant?

Go read the books! The show is ultimately unsatisfying as it doesn’t cover the last arc of the story, but the last season was good

It honestly feels like something he wrote as a joke

I like the idea that we find out mid next season that they’ve been in a committed relationship with each other for like a year but are keeping it on the DL because monogamy is deeply uncool in their generation.

It’s been an ongoing Star Trek plot line that ship counselors are friggin useless

You are being ripped off, 10g sonic is like $60.

It has its moments. Season 3 and 4 are better than the first two. It takes a while for any show to hit the tonal balance that makes a good trek. One thing that I think the show does well is fill in the gap between “humanity is a bunch of selfish messy bitches who would prefer to annihilate each other rather than get it together,” and the humanity we see in future series. You’re watching them become less xenophobic, more open minded and inquisitive.

Skip the finale, the episode before is a good finale.

There are only 3 good Star Wars movies, and I’m tired of pretending that there are more: A New Hope, Empire Strikes Back, and Rogue One.

Risotto is easy but you do need to add liquid and keep it stirring for pretty much the whole cook time
