And getting spare parts is an adventure!

If a chunk of ISS falls and damages something or hurts a person, who is liable: the organization that put it up there or the one paid to take it down?

I hate the accuracy of your analysis because you are 100% right that so much of that era was forgotten (except by those who lived it and still hold onto those details). Enron had absolutely turned Texas into scrutiny central and someone in Bush’s administration didn’t like their friends going to jail for being corrupt. The Bush family had also used their connections to Saud to enrich them and their friends during the 90s without knowing that they were being used. 9/11 is the day Bush realizes it and was completely unable to do anything about it because of hat direct family connection. So instead America invaded Afghanistan and Iraq as a distraction.

The entire foreign policy of right wingers is cleaning up the personal history of the grifters who run the party.

Breaking news!

Ah, the yearly ritual continues. Bethesda makes a game that needs bug fixing, let’s the players fix it with mods, then B tries getting players to pay for the mods in the hopes they can finally charge money for mods that are needed to fix the game.

Classic Todd. Can’t wait until he quits making games. Bethesda might actually use a new game engine besides the Creation Engine.

How is Valve pumping up the concurrent player count not a bigger news story? That is like the metric for calculating popularity of a game and Valve is openly fudging the numbers without anyone caring. I feel like I’m taking crazy pills.

A discharge barge.

No. Shame is powerful and under utilized by the left because we are afraid of hurting people. The right is dropping bombs on children and threatening fascism. The difference in restraint is huge and it is hurting the left more.

The right whines when it doesn’t get it way and throws legal tantrums when they have to play by the same rules as everyone else. This is just the start of the schadenfreude. The right can fucking die of collective anger for all I care.

Playstation CEO doesn’t play games or else they would know how much more flexible PC gaming is for the user. They are hoping people will slum it with console locked ecosystems and non-moddable games using hardware that never improves.

So you’re that Y2K everyone was afraid of?

Hydrogen weakens the metals that it touches and it explodes. Now you want to have tax dollars install time bombs across the country? Let’s skip hydrogen for safety reasons and use electric. The grid is there and getting charging stations is infinitely easier to install than hydrogen infrastructure.

Check when the last time an installed utility performed maintenance. Now you want them to turn things off while they put in new hardware? The only thing that will drive a business to make that kind of change is if the money is behind it, which will happen when EVs are much more prevalent.

They’re brand new and the writer needs a number to look impressive.

If that’s too much, there’s always the home brew option: https://www.zdnet.com/article/build-your-own-supercomputer-out-of-raspberry-pi-boards/

We need a global effort to fight authoritarianism.

The picture is of John Wick, a character known for fighting an entire criminal underground because someone killed his puppy.

Kristi Noem is the governor of South Dakota. She wrote a book detailing how she went hunting with a puppy, the puppy scared birds she was hunting, so she put a bullet into it’s head. She admitted it was an untrained puppy so the conclusion many draw is that she needlessly murdered a dog that she could have otherwise trained.

The punchline is that John Wick is coming after her because she killed a puppy.

And the cops get away with murder because “they were trying to do the right thing and trying their best”.

No, they’re way ahead of Tesla.

PC players have the choice to install that software when they install the game. It’s easy to know which games use DRM and invasive keenel level anti cheats. Console players have no idea how much personal info they are leaking to a broader audience and their 800 corporate friends.

An easy way to think of Anarchism is Libertarian ideals put to real world testing: major systems like radio and wireless will not exist unless a super wealthy individual sets it up and maintains it using their wealth and power to keep it forcibly operational.

Most nice things from civilization will not exist because of the overwhelming amount of cooperation it takes - anarchism is the end product of “fuck you I got mine” and no one is expected to help or be helpful.
