This seems like the sorta thing people who don't work but whose day consists of telling others what to do would come up with.

always wanting to make the mouth-hole flapping noises?

So freakin' annoying!

[looks at my 2009 Mac Pro I bought used in 2011 for $300, still going strong]

I have upgraded the 4 core Xeon for a 6 core, upgraded RAM to 64GB, replaced 512MB Nvidia with an 8GB AMD card, upgraded the blue tooth/wireless, replaced spinning disks with SSDs. So maybe an extra $400.

Still, $700 for 13 years use (mostly iTunes library and photo/backup duties) isn't too bad. It takes up a lot of room and I've been looking into repurposing the case for some fun project, now that Mac Minis are affordable. Actual daily use systems are Fedora on AMD pcs.

It's spelled 'Fuck'.

Whatever happened to the first-to-market Apple, dropping the first portable music player, the first hand held computing device, the first cell phone?!!

This sitting back and watching the market crap is weird.

This is the part that drives me crazy about the "anti" side of onshoring/reshoring. "Oh, it'll be an automated factory that only has a dozen jobs at most, that's stupid." Maybe so, but at some point you have to realize that "but then we have the factory, not some at least nominally hostile government 10,000 miles away" has value on its own. Hell, if nothing else, the massive disruptions of supply chains during Covid should have taught people that.

Yeah, I went in expecting some kind of tv smaller than a square centimeter.

Remember, it's always the little folks at fault for the ruin of the world.

I mean, just look at them; disgusting!

Tory and Labour are forms of astringent fruit that, when bruised, exude a smell similar to a bloated rat run over by a cart wheel.

For short routes (something like Nashville to Atlanta) you'd win on time but almost certainly lose on cost.

For long routes, for example New York to Los Angeles, you'll lose on both cost and time. I also suspect that, say, New York to London might have some additional challenges for a self driving car... how do you suppose a Tesla Model 3 handles in 40' seas in the North Atlantic?

And bank.

Jimi Hendrix.

He's easily mistaken for Abba.

Good band name.

He's obviously talking about the Fourth Geneva Convention given the date, and your response has nothing at all to do with the refutation of "nuclear weapons being criminally illegal [in 1945]."

And, since you're trotting out Nuremberg, here is what General Telford Taylor, Chief Counsel for War Crimes at the Nuremberg Trials, had to say about strategic bombing:
