Next up, legislation to push Brawndo as a cure all.

That is amazing. Looking at the breakdown, I don’t see any uncommon bricks other than the bananas.

Pfister and Koehler faucets come with lifetime guarantees.

Have you heard Ben Carson speak about politics? He’s an actual brain surgeon. And an idiot. Just goes to show that having a medical degree doesn’t make someone a genius.

Not true. As someone mentioned above thread — cheap store brands are commonly plastic junk that breaks after a couple of years of use.

Dumb. Dumb. Dumb.

Spoilers:

I have a difficult time believing that they didn’t have enough backup plans to the point that they had to send a school teacher to save the world. I also couldn’t believe that someone with a doctorate would be teaching junior high (we don’t pay teachers enough in the US). I also didn’t care for the story stopping every few pages so that the author could do a math proof to pretend that the protagonist was some kind of genius (who just so happens to have the skills to reprogram a rocket ship trajectory???). And the endless “something else went wrong only I can fix!” every fifty pages got really tired. Oh and whatever you do, don’t send any of the probes back to earth until the last minute. Because instead of keeping Earth informed and updated as you learn things that might save them, you’re going to need all those probes for a plot point later.

Artemis was fun, but had a lousy ending. It’ll make a good tv series some day if they change up that part of the story.

That new logo is pretty bad.

Depending on where you live, thorough is pronounced “thur-oh” and hiccough is spelled “hiccup”.

When watching a subtitled video on YouTube and it starts playing really shitty music — yes, I mute it and just read the subtitles.

Who?

Yep. Apple was trying to get things OUT of the menu bar for a long time. I dunno why current leadership has changed their tune.

“Rockin’ around the Christmas Tree” performed by Brenda Lee.

This is a really nice kit. Easy to assemble, minimal soldering. Great for old PSPs with broken screens.

Gotta waste that budget surplus. Can’t use it to pave roads or pay our teachers.

I wouldn’t worry too much. The source is fox “news”. God only knows if any of this reporting is actually true

Apple already had a summary service that’s been in the OS for over ten years. Not sure why they decided they needed to use AI to fuck this up.

For those of you with Apple devices, I’m pretty sure current versions of Mac OS and iOS remove tracking arguments from URLs when you use cut/copy/paste/share.

We’ll have to see if their replacements are any better. If they even bother to hire replacements.

Or bird flu.
