These monsters crave power. They see oppressive regimes all over the world, stepping on people in a variety of ways, and think: “yeah, that’s the stuff.”

Yes. I recommend being high, depressed, and suffering from a case of “couch-lock” so severe that even getting up to void one’s bladder becomes a monumental achievement.

I’m so very sorry that happened. Holy cow, that sounds like a colossal waste of time though.

You should se a therapist, though!

“Um… that’s why I took time out of my day to be here. Why wasn’t this a phone call, or literally anything else? You could be at home right now.”

Protip: the mandatory “health & safety” briefing is just so HR can cover their butts. Don’t bother wasting your time with it - you’re not going to need any of that don’t-run-with-safety-scissors stuff.

More like Harvard said: “We get fifty times that much money from elsewhere - go ahead and try me.” They also issued a pretty scathing justification, but they really are standing tall on independent funding.

I applaud what they’re doing but I fear that this approach isn’t viable for the majority of universities.

So perhaps this is the circle of life, the meek shall inherit the Earth.

Perhaps, yes. I’d just rather not be around for when the decadents bring it all crashing down around our ears, which seems to be the step right before that conclusion.

Like [email protected] said, into bottles and recycle if you can. I’ve also had good results with:

• paper towels - this can take a lot, so reserve those mostly clean ones in a bag/bucket for later use
• sawdust in a small bucket that I keep in the garage - dump it into a trash bag and throw out once saturated
• Japanese cooking oil solidifier - this stuff is incredible and turns oil into a paste that is easier to throw out

That kitchen is a shitshow. Also: not down the drain! This is how you get “fatbergs” that will cause sewage to back up into your house. T-shirt should say “save the pipes!”

Agreed, although it’s wise to have a backup option for this. It’s entirely possible that you have two solid Portal players go at this, which should be a really fun romp. However, in my experience, any skill gap between the players usually turns every stage into “how do I carry my friend through this puzzle?” An extreme version of this can be seen in Game Grumps’ playthrough.

By “traveling community” and “travelers”, does the article author actually mean Romani (“gypsies”)?

I ask since the article may have lost something in translation. It also puts the police’s actions in a different light if true.

ISPs also log which customer gets which IP and keep that historical data

I can confirm that not only is this true, but it’s been this way since the 1990’s. The metadata correlates the IP address, date/time information, and customer account number. It’s highly likely that any given ISP will have this data going back years, if not decades. It really doesn’t take up much space.

I can also confirm the “just ask nicely” part. I’ve seen it with my own eyes that it really comes down the scruples of the people guarding said data. There exists no law that prevents that information from being disclosed to anyone.

From the charging hole.

Can do, boss! Not sure what this means though.

She’s onto something. CRT displays and VHS recordings are very imperfect in the best way; they lie to us so sweetly. There’s a lot of production mistakes and fakery that is really hard to spot with old tech. These things stand out in ways unforeseen on digital remasters all the time - it kind of kills the magic of it all, really.

Story time.

It honestly feels like about 264,000 gallons of that were spilled at a placed I used to work. I still have no idea who the culprit(s) was.

No kidding, the problem was so bad that building management stepped in and… added chamomile scented floor mats beneath the urinals to catch and deodorize the… ugh (gross)… drippings. It was such a strong smell that it wafted out into the hallway with the subtlety of a sledgehammer. This prompted some of the women in the office to remark at how unfair it was that the men’s room was obviously getting all this extra attention. I almost can’t describe the mixture of disappointment and disgust on their faces once I explained why this was happening.

I also once had to explain to my wife that the above situation, along with the smell of urinal cakes and most gas-station-restroom deodorizers, are the reason why chamomile tea is a hard pass for me.

If you must have a lawn (e.g. HOA, personal preference), I strongly recommend doing away with this nonsense and go electric. Better yet, stay ahead of battery obsolescence and get a plug-in model, provided your yard is small enough. No more gas, oil changes, clogged filters, re-gapping spark plugs, and no more dislocating your shoulder trying to start the damn thing. Just keep the blade clean and sharp and it’ll run for a decade at least.

No. Instead, it implies that eating this shoe is better for your health than eating a non-vegan one.

This just in: Exploitative capitalist upset that men aren’t more exploitable.

This picture has serious SCP energy to it.

At least it’s not a giant pile of clocks.

I dunno. I think it’s actually the alley next to Jackie Chan’s apartment.

OpenAI fed this thing a steady diet of internet forums as training data. You’d better believe that it knows how to verbally destroy anything and everything, at every conceivable level of sass and/or vitriol.
