Isn't it typical for corporations and the rich to donate to multiple candidates so that they're in bed with whoever wins? Seems like not accepting these donations this would just cause Trump to receive less money, and when has Trump ever turned down a handout?

Not if you choose engineering as your major. I’ve never worked harder or longer hours than when I was in college.

He was the last person considered because 1) he already hosted for 16 years and quit so they probably assumed he didn’t want to go back to it, and 2) when they started considering people, Stewart was under contract with a competing show on AppleTV+ (The Problem w/ Jon Stewart), but that show was recently cancelled. Also, The Problem only airs once a week, so imagine Stewart told CC that he’d only come back to do one show weekly rather than the four that he used to do.

i didn’t mean to exclude that option but rather thought it to be redundant since the result is the same.

"We have seen that you can embed viruses in the cartridges. Through the cartridge, [the virus can] go to the printer, [and then] from the printer, go to the network."

Either this is complete bullshit or HP is over-engineering completely unnecessary vulnerabilities into their hardware. There’s no reason why a dumb ink cartridge (no DRM) would need any ability to send data to the printer other than very short messages (like a few bytes at most), so it should not be possible for an ink cartridge to give the printer a virus unless this vulnerability is the direct result of the new DRM-tracking additions.

So HP is either malicious or incompetent, and regardless of which it is, I can’t see myself trusting another of their products ever again.

You’re pre-approved! Go directly to printer.

Uvlfberth was the Remington of their day.

I get that. My question was facetious.

My friend Geoff. That shifty fucker always wins monopoly.

… Trumpzilla's magical exercise battery.

Is that what he’s calling his penis these days?

And Huffman’s programming skills weren’t even that great because they quickly brought in Aaron Schwartz to make it all work, yet they always conveniently leave him off of the founders’ list.

Maybe they’d have money for cars and homes and diamonds if it weren’t for all that damn avocado toast!

Wake me up when there’s some sort of police reform.

The fact that it doesn't work the same in every browser sounds a lot like anti-competitive fuckery.

Dog’s like “Why’d you do this to me?”

How’d you do this from Mastadon?

Somehow I didn’t get the notification of your comment until now, but this rules. No one could possibly do that better than Jack Black.

He’s been a meme for over 20 years, and I’m a member of society.

Same. Are you from 82, 83, or 84?

Steve wasn’t the finale of Blue’s Clues, so I don’t think it has to be a series finale. For me in the 90s, I can’t think of any tv shows that made me cry, but i can think of quite a few movies. Over all, My Girl is probably the only one that completely destroyed me emotionally.
