I had no idea!

People always frame this shit as, "What ya gonna do against tanks and drones?!" Not a goddamned thing. But let's just say the military infrastructure would collapse in weeks without civilian help.

I could go on all night, but there was an excellent post on /r/liberalgunowners that outlined dozens of ways to fight the military on the streets. Much of it was, "Those tanks and drones don't drive or maintain themselves."

federal employees writing essays of loyalty and praise

I'll be the devil's advocate here. They only need write on what they will do to move his agenda(s) forward. It's not the dick sucking thing it's been made out to be, but it's still too fucking close for comfort.

Ah! Didn't consider the input could be analog and not 1 or 0. That opens up a wide range!

This is how the dwarves in Discworld make cakes.

Aren't you afraid of being on the receiving end someday?

Done that! Can't remember a thing, or even which wife it was, but yes, took me a couple of hours to come down off my anger. Really weird as I usually forget dreams immediately.

Weirdly, I dream almost exclusively about people from my past, especially lovers. At some point I know I've woken up mad at my wife, but can't remember any details.

Colombian drug runner getting damned innovative these days!

Ex and I saw Blade Runner 2049 like this, even in much the same seats. Fuck me but that was an experience.

None of that is true for a ripe tomato. Problem is, the vast majority are picked green and ripen on the truck, and they are indeed repulsive.

Another issue is that we bred tomatoes to be nice and round and have smooth, evenly colored skin. That killed the genes that made them sweet and acidic. Try an "ugly tomato", or maybe an heirloom, if you can find one.

Not a fan of the one on the right, but the pic mostly gets the point across.

I've got that gene that converts asparagus into, uh, interesting smelling piss. Weird thing is that it hits within an hour of eating it.

I can only guess that you forgot and left out cabbage?

You got me looking! I don't trust most of the sources I found as Tulsa International Airport isn't usually listed. Maybe that's due to a weird industry thing.

Neither of those proposals answer the issues I brought up. But they're very good for lemmy upvotes!

This is nothing short of stunning, had no idea anyone was even close to this sort of interface. And it's only an 8-bit input! Fuck me, I would have made a (totally ignorant) guess of at least a couple of thousand sensors.

Hoped for a video. :(

When I lived in Chicago, mom-and-pop Mexican stores were a stone's throw from one another, take your pick. Also, they opened early to cater to laborers.

Real Mexican for breakfast? I would kill to have that back.

I'm going to start using "inhumed".

It's not the orbit that's weird, it's the planet's formation in the first place.

Those were invented to separate two people.

No, making money is not a legal obligation. CEO at my last job told the board, two years in a row, that intended to lose money so we could invest in our people and tech. They cheered him.
