Micro$hit is the company that never even figured out how to give a proper error message. Inevitably, you get some nonsense like the ubiquitous error 0x800700c1. Go search for it, even clicking on the help link if it's offered, and you get nothing but stupid responses like "reboot your PC," "reinstall {everything}," "run sfc
Well, it was so very confusing having to decide between "Skype" and "Teams." Now I just have to decide between "Microsoft Teams (for work)," "Microsoft Teams (Personal)," "Microsoft Teams (new)," "Microsoft Teams (old version)," "Microsoft Teams (for work and school)," and the soon to be popular "Microsoft Teams (Go fuck yourself.)"
I'm still unhappy that show got cancelled.
I've all but given up on new shows, and I know I'm not the only one. These days, I'm more likely to not even start watching a new show until it's at least in its second season for two reasons. First, a disproportionate percentage of the shows get cancelled, so why bother investing the effort into watching it just to be annoyed? Second, much of the new cinema model seems to be to do maybe 8-10 shows a season, wait two years, and then roll out another 8-10 shows. For example, Stranger Things. That show's fourth season aired May 27th, 2022, and the fifth season still hasn't aired though it's apparently supposed to sometime in 2025.
Of course, that presents an inherent flaw in the streaming model. Since so many of these shows are cancelled and/or are affected by the spagettification of the various streaming platforms, it's hard to look at statistics to see if the show is going to be successful or not from the studio's standpoint. It used to be you had Netflix. Then Netflix and Prime. Then Netflix, Prime, and Hulu. Now you have Netflix, Prime, Hulu, Paramount+, MGM+, Disney+, HBOMax, Peacock, Roku, AppleTV...
IIRC, one of the arguments against Monsanto's genetic modification of crops was that they effectively made them resistant to glyphosate-based herbicides like Roundup. This allowed them to then spray the cancer-causing herbicide all over everyone's food. They also engineered lines of crops that produced sterile seeds, guaranteeing that farmers would have to keep coming back to the company for each crop. This probably shouldn't come as a surprise, though, as Monsanto was also the genius behind DDT, and Agent Orange. At least these guys brought LEDs to market. They were bought by Bayer in 2016 in what is considered one of the worst corporate mergers in history.
In this case, using CRISPR to knock out the receptor PRRS uses, making the pigs immune to it. Similar things have been proposed to knock out CCR-5 in humans, conveying immunity to HIV for a similar reason. Now, what effects it might have on the pigs is a different question, but it isn't going to make the pigs poisonous or something. It wasn't the genetic modification that was the problem back with the crops, it was the fact that Monsanto was a bunch of greedy crooks and used genetic modification to enable them to carpet bomb the world's food with glyphosate.
Or you could go the way of "Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered" and change "male" and "female" to "body type 2" and "body type 1". Because, woke.
I wonder if they indirectly cause more crashes because they drive so slug-slow and regular drivers need to execute risky maneuvers to get around them
They actually obey traffic laws like the concept of a speed limit. Do you mean like the human driver idiots on the road who tailgate me, then sling around me, coming six inches from my bumper, passing me, then slinging back in front of me, again passing six inches from my bumper, forcing me to slow down to regain following distance so some other dipshit behind me can do the same thing?
Arkham? More like Arkham Asylum.
I just use my
That brings back memories. That thing was about as dumb an idea as the i-Opener.
Just wait until someone exploits this to blast hard core porn all over the place. Or if they're more devious, use "AI" to make a fake video of Donald Trump in a fake EAS broadcast saying something truly terrifying. You know, like, "Nuclear missile is inbound to the west coast and we can't stop it. Seek shelter immediately." Or "I just raised tariffs globally another 300%!"

I don't see a fire in the picture in the article, although I'd like to.
I'd like to see both of them on fire. Maybe we can toss on Matthew Prince on as some extra kindling.
Hangman you say? Clearly that shows some kind of homicidal tendencies and lust for violence just like supposedly biting a sandwich into something that might vaguely resemble a handgun. You must submit to mandatory reeducation.
It doesn't help. It does not solve any of the underlying problems the kids are facing. It's a distraction because the people of the New York legislature and frankly the people of New York don't want to spend the time and money to help the kids for real.
I'll agree with that one.
So we ban cell phones but we don't do anything about the kids not having any futures because they can't afford to go to college and no they can't all be plumbers and HVAC welders. We don't deal with the fact that a lot of those kids go hungry even in a wealthy State like New York. We don't give parents the support they need to raise kids because if you try to everyone has a fucking fit about oh don't you tell me how to raise my kid (I speak from bitter experience, my mom was a nut job and I could have used with someone intervening)
So maybe I'm opening Pandora's Box here, but what would you suggest?
I don't know why that made me envision Mickey Mouse stuck on a glue trap.
A dick? That's it?
It would have been funny, though, if he just listed "dick" as one of the main ingredients in some of the food.
Maybe this will finally kill the cryptobeast once and for all. Nah, who am I kidding.
Mining hardware becoming obsolete due to profitability is an entirely expected thing, and the number of miners going up and down is planned for in the design.
Sure. But did they calculate in the entire network grinding to a gridlock halt because there's no mining going on to process new transactions?
