Fall guy. Somehow the blame for his obvious incompetence will not be imputed up the command chain.

Thanos is not much of a tweaker though.

Ah, the hazards of dd. The disk destroyer has been earned legitimately many times. I did it to myself once because I got cocky and failed to treat it with the proper fear and respect.

Will the US factories have suicide nets too, or is that reserved for Taiwan?

No, no, this question deserves the RTFM response, not the asked and answered. Unless you linked to an RTFM answer, in which case I’ll allow it.

The Great Dictator

I think about when I played Sims and would delete the bathroom and door from my Sim’s house and watch him suffer. I feel like I am getting karmic payback these days. I’m sorry Sim dude, I didn’t think of you as anything but interesting binary data and was amused by your suffering. I have a lot more sympathy and empathy for you these days.

In English, my lips touch when I make the “f” sound at the start of four. I am also pretty sure they touch for one.

Currently, that Tom Petty song with the lyric about “the waiting is the hardest part” seems appropriate.

J.D. has never denied it.

The pope told him he was an aristocrat, not a real mountain man from West Virginia and this truth caused JD to mistake the pope for a couch.

My surgically repaired ankle starts to hurt when the barometric pressure drops which is a harbinger of thunderstorms here. The more severe the pain the more severe the weather.

It has done this since I was in my late 20s, so yeah I sound like an old man, but it was true even when I was young. Took me a few years to work out the connection between the ankle pain and the weather.

It is hurting a decent amount today and storms are predicted for the whole weekend here in north Texas.

More like retailers won’t eat any of it and will take the opportunity to raise prices even more because they know consumers are expecting higher prices and they have pressure to retain or increase their margins to meet shareholder expectations.

I think they necessarily will. I can’t imagine retailers eating the lost margin.

As someone who works for a defense contractor, I like to tell people chemtrails are real just to sow chaos. To add credibility, I refer people to an early test version:

Betteridge’s law applies. The answer to a yes-no headline question is always no.

I don’t want to ask ai. Google automatically gives me ai search results that are piss poor. Those useless results still use energy to generate.

And the quality of the AI output sucks. I was recently looking for information about positive convention for yaw, pitch, and roll in aircraft. I was looking at az and yaw and got reasonable results from the AI, but when I looked at pitch and el all of the results were about elevator pitches. Even when I spelled out elevation it insisted on elevator pitches. I scroll past the AI results as a matter of principle, but I usually look at them so I have something specific to complain about when people ask why I am so virulently anti-AI.

In the U.S. “fiscal conservatism doesn’t exist” so I hope you are voting against the hate mongers and trying to reform their opposition into balancing the budget (difficult when the hate mongers keep fucking the tax code in favor of the ultra-rich).

Yay, my 50 something butt is a younger people.
