It was a flash in the panhandle.

Thanks, I'll be here til Thursday. Oh wait, it's Friday. Don't eat the veal, it's gone bad.

You can quite quickly see there's a strong correlation between solar activity and the status of our severe weather events, too - it's well known and established fact -

It is? That's funny, I've been having trouble finding anything like that. Where is the evidence for this "well known and established fact", exactly?

The best I could find on the topic was this graphic showing solar activity and global temperatures together. The two do not correlate.

It is going to evaporate, slowly....

0 Kelvin, not 0 degrees Kelvin. In practice his limit is likely 0 Rankine.

You know Blender is free open source software, right? Slashdot even helped it to become free and open source many years ago.

And despite all the faults you listed of the Democratic Party, it was still blazingly clear to anyone who paid attention that Harris would have been better for the country than Trump. But people chose not to pay attention and we got stuck with the looming threat of idiocy-powered authoritarianism.

I don't know how we can put the blame on anyone but the voters. I think you were dead on when you mentioned "moron progressives that didn't vote". If there's one specific group to blame more than anyone else, it's them.

Absolutely this. I can't count the number of people I've seen who believe the "mainstream media" is untrustworthy, and then whole-heartedly embrace alternatives that are magnitudes more untrustworthy if they ever cared enough to check. A bunch of gullible dupes who fancy themselves as bold individualists, all the while too edgy by half.

Go to one hundred and five percent on the reactor.

I would say that in most stories about AI, it fights back when somebody tries to turn it off.

Because if you're just new'ing an object for the lifetime of the project then its destructor isn't going to be called when the program ends. That would be unexpected behavior.

I'm part of the 1/3 that voted against it. I'll bitch as much as I want.

Why would Amazon waive the egrees fee? I don't see any upside to them to do that.

I was also assuming this was about a lawsuit between Microsoft (and/or CrowdStrike) and Delta.

It takes a careful reading, because there isn't anything in the summary that clearly states what we're talking about, but this is a class-action lawsuit against Delta by Delta's customers.

The fact that this was modded up as "Interesting" instead of funny is pretty fucking scary. Of course, now watch my comment will be modded up as funny because that's par for the course these days.

You seem to be confusing sales tax and income tax, as well as state and federal governments.
