Solar Opposites did it very well when they jettisoned Justin Roiland. His character gets hit in the throat with a dart and then zapped with an uncalibrated voice repair ray. His partner thinks the new (and suddenly English-accented) voice is sexy so they don't bother changing it.

Also, new Korvo is way better the than slightly-altered Rick that Roiland was crapping out.

I've pointed and laughed at every Cybertuck I've seen for the reasons the guy referenced in the post thinks. I'm full-on laughing at the people who plopped down $100k for those 4-year-old's-drawing-of-a-fucking-Halo-Warthog pieces of shit. Bullying serves a social function and these dumbasses are in need of it.

But... PR is part of the US and is a wonderful place full of kind people. I spent one of the best vacations of my life there going all the way around the island (and Culebra!) and it was nothing but gorgeous views, great food, friendly people (it does help to speak Spanish so you understand how friendly they are) and relaxing days.

And that was when the country was getting rocked by earthquakes and had recently been battered by a few climate-change monster hurricanes. Screw people who hate on PR, that place rocks and is more resilient than your average conservative commentator.

The AI ecosystem is flooded, we need a good bubble pop to slow down the massive waste of resources that our current info-remix-based-on-what-you-will-likely-react-positively-to shit-tier AI represents.

IT professionals are more the folks that install and maintain large scale computer systems and networks, like a company's IT department or MSP. Programming is closer to engineering. Software engineering.

Get towed or grab a generator and get ready to wait. Or get a plug-in hybrid for the best of both worlds.

How would such a law work and not infringe on freedom of speech as it has been codified by jurisprudence?

People don't clean their phones? I clean mine every time I clean my glasses. If the glasses are dirty, it's a safe bet the phone could use a rub down with some isopropyl on a Kimwipe.

Unrelated, if you wear glasses and haven't used Kimwipes to clean them you are missing out. Soap and water, isopropyl on Kimwipe, dry Kimwipe.

Yo straight people are the ones having waaay more kids and they're still naming plenty of them with non-stupid names. Let's focus the hate where it belongs: people who try to create personalities for themselves by using their child as a proxy for their unfulfilled hopes and dreams.

I think the laws we already have about free speech mean the government absolutely can't tell a newspaper owner what to print. They can be held liable if they break laws, but not endorsing a candidate is not illegal.

EDIT: If you don't like what I'm saying that's on you. The constitution of the US is pretty clear about this and the Supreme Court has upheld it numerous times. I don't think it's cool that Bezos did this, but I also don't think that a law stopping someone from doing it is a good idea or even plausible in the US. As long as we're run as an oligarchy we'll never get past problems like this, because if there is money to be made off information and money can buy power, unethical people will make unethical moves to manipulate the information that people take in. But as we all know, you cannot legislate morality, so the only thing to do is to remove the incentive.

At least he isn't making some exaggerated face of extreme surprise. That puts him ahead of most YouTubers.

The virus seriously weakens cellular membranes, causing Soft Cell. SC leads to a breakdown of your dopamine and oxytocin receptors which leaves you with a feeling of tainted love.

Schrodinger's fake news: it was only a mistake because he got called out.

The title had me like "What did those tiny carnivorous plants do now?" but no that's Utricularia.

I just want a seat at the table for one of their feasts.

I think our model of cosmology is likely way more wrong than we think. I LOVE it when we get new data that challenges our accepted notions, which is why I'm loving all the "how are these ancient galaxies so big" stuff coming out of Webb.

My running theory is that what we call the universe is an inverse version of what we would consider to be the real universe, were we not stuck in this crummy inverted one.

Iirc he went into therapy, got a major cult-boner for his therapist and then started bossing his partner around, claiming that she was toxic by misusing therapy language.

Every single time I'm scrolling and Carter's face pops up at the bottom of my screen I think "Oh, he's reached the end of his long, full life," and them nope he's fine and older than most people will ever get. Go Jimmy!

So it would seem.

When you take a shower does the shower flow through you or along your edges?
