OP, did a cop give you a ticket for riding a scooter?

The US didn’t steal these guys rocket tech.

They stole these guys rocket tech.

They are not the same.

Ah yes. A close cousin to planet Earth’s flat topped mountains, the Terra Mesas.

I’ve seen a few of these Maury Povich Show episodes.

The Chinese aren’t ahead of the curb here, they are significantly behind. Flavored cigs got banned in most countries many years ago because they did too good a job. I expect the same thing will happen in China soon.

Me, just getting into computers and watching that ad in 1992:

“Wait…I can just make copy unto my floppy disks?!?”

What’s your point? The Bodyguard was a massive hit and fully carried by Whitney Houston. I acknowledged that upfront. I also pointed out the next movies in his filmography that he needed to carry himself. The box office numbers do not reflect, in any way, the impact of Truth or Dare + Sex.

Before the movie came out, Costner could do no wrong. He was such a dick and Madonna roasted him so hard that he lost a lot.of his luster. The Bodyguard came out where he got carried by Whitney Houston, then Perfect World, which was a good movie thanks to Clint Eastwood directing, but basically an indie film in sensibility. His big movies that followed Truth or Dare, where he needed ro carry rhe movie were Wyatt Earp, Waterworld, and The Postman, but people were not showing up for him anymore.

Maybe it wasn’t Madonna alone, but I remember a lot of people talking about that Costner interaction ans how fake and cringe he he across.

I love how Truth or Dare essentially ended Kevin Costner’s career for decades and launched Antonio Banderas Hollywood era.

Wait…Sea of Stars is on mobile?!?

Or the need to pay rent.

Nobody? Try everybody.

That abortion room seems superfluous.

I didn’t watch Captain America but in Superman, Superman shoves a dictator that’s clearly a stand in for Netenyahoo into a cactus and Hawkgirl, who has no issue with killing, drops him from the sky.

How far they’ve fallen, all due to a single acquisition.

For those unaware, the saying used to be “If it ain’t Boeing, I ain’t going”. The reason for this was because Boeing had a well deserved reputation for quality, reliability, and overengineering. It was a company run by engineers. Another company named McDonnell Douglas, with the polar opposite reputation, went or was about to go bankrupt. It was a company run by salesmen. Boeing decided to buy McDonnell Douglas but instead of firing the entirety of MD’s executive branch, they decided to absorb them. In short order the MD virus that was their sales first executive team spread and eventually took over Boeing.

This is as I remember it so if I got something wrong, please correct me.

Zuck: We are going to train our AI using data from our employees’ computers.

AI: * generates child porn

Zuck: Oh…no…

I dunno. I have mixture of Windows, Linux and Mac, and the M chip macs are a fucking beast. Stable, stupid fast, silent, and cool (as in temperature).

I am transitioning all remaining Windows workstations to Proxmox VE based VDIs, but for the people that need a total solution on the road and offline, the mac is hard to beat. Win11 ARM as a VM on Apple silicone runs faster, with less power draw and with significantly less heat than the original installnon raw metal. I’m not sure what dev tools your shop is using for the Macs, but we have had no issues.

Old PCs with Linux, Openclaw, and a handful of LLM models installed, configured by ChatGPT, can be up and running in less than an hour. Once running, people can have them do all sorts of tasks.
