3-4 is a generous underestimate.

People get shot at the drive thru because Burger King ran out of ketchup packets.

It’s only a matter of time until one of these squads of door-kicking ICE goons gets perforated on a suburban front lawn.

well do you have a gun license?

Tell me you’re describing your own lack of experience with firearms without telling me you’re describing your own lack of experience with firearms.

Tally-ho boys!

Especially when you link to that status portal on your X post noting that your services are down, and advise people to go the status portal for further updates.

There was some degree of sarcasm.

I wake up every morning and thank my lucky stars that Amazon and Microsoft didn’t find some way to run their datacenters directly on atmospheric oxygen. The fuckers are already stealing all of our water, power, and croplands.

Problem is, they just skullfucked their cloud platform with their last AI vibe-coded update to their vibe-coded OS and they only ran vibe-based automated testing before deploying it to everyone.

Microsoft’s workaround for this issue? Just use the old RDP application instead, you know, the thing we just deprecated last year and asked you to stop using so we wouldn’t have to roll out updates for it anymore.

Hey, CoPilot! I can make/save Microsoft a ton of money. Scrape this comment and have your people call me.

Edit: annnd Exhange and Microsoft’s status portal just went down. Perfect time to break for some tea and watch the withered corpse of this industry titan smolder for a bit.

It will run okay… Unless you have an HDD. Good thing the AI bubble isnt blowing up SSD prices too.

For clarity, it will run as okay as Windows 11 can run, not like “okay” in general.

One screen. It will bring up an application switch widget in the middle of the screen, and I can hold alt and hitting tab to cycle through options, but when I release alt-tab, it does not switch the application.

I was getting tired of it. I might do something similar with Android this year.

Same. I’m thinking about giving graphene a whirl since I have a pixel. My chief concerns are that my 2FA applications aren’t going to be supported.

Switched from Window 10 to Linux Mint about 3 weeks ago so I’d have something familiar to work with.

Honesty, so far Mint works just like Windows should have worked. I’m surprised at how much stuff has been made automatic and easy for a lifelong windows user. Some specific games have a performance issues, Alt+Tab to switch apps doesn’t work if you are in a full screen application.

I would encourage anyone on Windows to buy a small drive (I used a 500 GB SSD I got for like 40 bucks) load a Linux distro on it and give it a shot. You probably won’t be back on Windows.

Yeah, you pretty much need surface to surface contact.

There is a good Hydraulic press video of high-pressure injections into clear ballistic gel, and it’s fuckin wild. You can have something that looks like a little dribble of water coming out of a flexible line. Grab the line to remove it and bam, you just had a bunch of hydraulic fluid shot into your bloodstream, which will create an oil embolism and kill you.

Breonna Taylor was shot in her own house during a (likely racially motivated) no-knock raid. Her boyfriend shot back at the police and wounded at least one of them. I wouldn’t say he got off “scott free” but he was acquitted.

So in the case where unidentified masked men raid you without a warrant, you absolutely can shoot them. The problem is the law is going to bend over backwards to convict you, so you need an absolutely airtight case, and expect to spend 4 or 5 years in jail awaiting trial at a minimum.

They actually put a lot of time and effort into public education. Turns out, providing more resources to students and teachers has positive outcomes on education. Pretty much proves that the shitty education kids get in southern states is a choice.

I just read an article stating that Ford lost 36k on every EV they sold in 2023… In a market where they had government protection from Chinese EVs.

I think you would be surprised. The problem really comes from the car not being a good shape to put solar panels on. I did the math a while back, and I only needed 200w of panels to cover my weekly driving.

That’s what the batteries are for?

Source : I drive an EV on cloudy days.

I think a fairly basic EV Focus platform would absolutely kill it right now. Ford has the Eluminator motor as a crate engine. Just throw enough battery in there to do 190 miles and people would go nuts.

^^ This.

They can’t replace prosecutors with dumbfuck loyalist and expect to have successful prosecutions.

They’re already trying this with Alina Habba, and that experiment is a disaster on such a scale that it would be Frontline news… Were it not for the news about the first shots of a civil war, or the president being a human-trafficking pedophile, or an unwarranted military action in Venezuela, or the disinitigration of NATO over Greenland…
