Hey leave the boulder's extended family out of this.

Don't get me wrong, it's decent entertainment. It's just disconnected from any kind of scientific or technical reality and a part of me is rolling my eyes for a lot of it. And maybe a bit frustrated because I like thinking about things and analyzing and problem solving. I prefer hard magic systems over soft magic ones because there's no point in thinking about soft magic systems because they just do whatever the plot calls for when it calls for it while hard magic systems have to build up to it and need to be clever to surprise viewers.

Tony uses a soft technology system that defies thought.

Combined with running to become the first extreme sport.

Yeah, that's my thought, though I have a kid. Doesn't really matter if I just want to rent one to have fun driving for a bit (other than if she'd find it cool to ride in one). Would be fun for a bit and then a huge liability to own one. Especially with how much attention they'd get. You'd get random butt prints from assholes taking pictures with it, not to mention some others driving nearby will get more aggressive when they see what you're driving, making accidents more likely. Not to mention everything about it will be very expensive.

And, at least based on video games, you'd barely ever get out of 1st or 2nd gear in normal driving unless you want to risk getting it seized (or worse) for excessive speeding.

Also, make one mistake with the throttle and a video of you spinning into a curb or something could go viral if it's one of the rear drive supercars.

Yeah, Tony was capable of doing whatever the writers wrote him to be capable of, just like every other fictional character. And the writers wrote him doing it in a manner similar to the "programming" in Swordfish or the tech work in NCIS (or whatever show it was that had multiple people typing on one keyboard at the same time). As in difficult to tell if they had any understanding of it at all, sensationalised it for entertainment purposes, deliberately made it unlike any real programming to troll people who do understand programming, or some combination of all those.

MCU science might as well just be another school of magic. Especially when Tony's suit could shapeshift and convert between matter and energy because of some quantum mumbo jumbo. He just cast a quantum spell on it.

Also every movie had multiple impacts in that iron suit that should have been worse for him than most car crashes.

Abuse of authority. A just legal system would have mechanisms that trigger audits and reviews of all individuals involved when a certain threshold of dismissals is exceeded. It should also make those incorrectly caught up in the process whole when it's determined that there's no real case against them.

I'm so tired of the obvious bad photoshops. Like you couldn't even be bothered to just use the product and take photos of that and instead just paste it into different contexts? Probably means the product wasn't treated for obvious flaws, maybe even deliberately because then it puts people back on the market when it breaks immediately or is a pain in the ass to use.

I'd like to see a store that curates their products, including retesting after something has been on the shelves because I know some opportunistic assholes will present a good product at first but then silently replace it with a cheaper version if they can get away with it.

The profit motive produces junk. I want a world with an excellence motive.

It made it obvious how government officials will either talk out of their asses or straight up lie. Like telling people everything is fine, go on vacation for spring break, then we're in lockdown by the middle of spring break (when it was clear that it was a big deal in south Korea and Italy already).

Or repeating "there's no evidence of it being airborne" long after it was clear that it was airborne.

Plus finding out the science of how particles move in the air medicine was using was decades behind the cutting edge and still believed it was based on the mass of the particle when airplanes existed that could remain airborne well over that "max mass".

And that's not even going into Trump's bullshit.

Don't run Linux, run the OG Unix. Don't use a desktop, get a mainframe.

And suggest they go over it and optimize it before building.

I'm one of the lucky ones with an 8086 that clearly saw the downgrade to 186.

AMD only just recently passed that with their 9000 series CPUs and Intel has only had better ones for a bit longer.

I hope they aren't the hackers known as 4chan!

I'm just saying that's how I interpreted that bit. They thought it was a false positive because of that. For all I know, the earlier ones might have also been real malware or maybe it was all made up.

I think they meant they were using malware detection tools that would often flag it because of the Chinese language issue and just assumed that's what was up when it flagged it this time.

Kinda like the boy who cried wolf, they ignored it when there really was a wolf.

One thing that has always seemed a bit ironic to me about any kind of anti-natalist is if they're so sure that bringing another being into existence is cruel to that being, why don't they kill themselves instead of trying to shame others or bomb clinics? Sure, they didn't consent to being here, but there's other options that don't involve needing to stay here.

And no, this isn't advocating suicide, but more calling out BS on the entire position because they do consent to remaining here.

If it makes you feel any better, the age you are right now is the youngest you'll ever be.

Kinda like with plastic shopping bags. As we get further and further from the date where they were banned (in Canada), I regret the times when I decided that I had enough of them for now and threw some out.

Though I'll probably just start using the smaller garbage cans without a bag once I run out and maybe just clean them every now and then instead of actually spending money on any garbage bags other than the big black ones.

Infinite.

I memorized them in numerical order. First there's a bunch of 0s then a bunch of 1s, followed by 2s, and so on.

I bet the theft is actually about insurance fraud, since that's probably the only way to get anyone to pay that amount for them.
