Explain, please

This is the kind of shit why I say that white supremacists and Nazis love the state of Israel. Both they and Israel insist that this is what Jews are really about, at the expense of actual Jewish people just trying to live their lives.

It’s tacos and energy drinks.

Remember when Israel kept yanking the football away from the Biden administration every time that Biden announced new Gaza ceasefire talks? At this point, you’d have to be a fucking fool to believe a word that slithers out of Nettanyahu’s head. Israel is working damn hard on burning as much political capital as it possibly can as fast as it can. Of course, they’re not doing it to do something cool like fighting climate change or build a moon base, it’s simply to murder as many people as they can as fast as they can.

"They’ve been fighting so long and so hard that they don’t know what the fuck they’re doing.”

I honestly to goodness can’t think of the last time I heard Trump drop an F bomb. I think he’s actually rather cross with them

That is a problem, but not an intractable one. The first easy win would be to just stop wasting so much water. CA could be a lot more careful with water than it is by just leaning on industry and ag to cut wasteful water use harder than it leans on the suburbs. Don’t get me wrong, green lawns in our Mediterranean climate are a stupid waste too, but it pencils out to less than a percent of all water use, where ag and industry are both in the double digits.

For me, as a DM, real shit always happens on session 1, you swim together or fucking die.

I mean, if you can reasonably bridge the gulf between stars, scientific advancement is basically all that’s left, unless it’s just your culture to be slaving, warmongering dickheads. Your home solar system probably has all the raw materials and energy you could ever ask for.

The criticality of any given service is inversely proportional to how recently released was the technology that it runs on.

This, if you see some ancient machine sitting there humming, don’t even make eye contact with that mf, don’t even think about it. In fact, try to minimize your time in the same room so when it eventually goes tits up, you don’t get blamed.

I would watch the absolute fuck out of this to the point that my family would be so fucking sick of it.

The IRL answer here is that it doesn’t matter if it actually makes money / creates value in the long run, it only matters if the investors think it will, or if the c-suite think the investors think it will, or if the current investors (looking to sell) think that future investors (looking to buy) think it will.

Are you sure it isn’t just that he’s Dutch?

It depends; if it’s a game only I like, well, I bumblefuck my way through Baldur’s Gate an hour at a time after the kids go to bed, when I’m not shit posting or attacking a side project or stargazing. If the rest of the family likes it, my job for the rest of the day is to sit the fuck down and play the game or else.

God damnit, stop making me like you, Newsom. I really don’t want you to be president of Greater Pacifica.

It’s really incredible how easy HSR should be to build for most of the country and how completely hard it would fuck for so many people. Instead, we do unlimited airline shareholder subsidies and rebuild eight lane interstates every ten years

Not enough pixels here, where’s the instrument?

Paramedic here, once brought someone in who ended up having a blood alcohol of .64. Dude got to sober up in the ICU.

“Copy” is essentially 200-OK

I remember hearing how Truman had a “the buck stops here” sign on his desk. One is very hard pressed to find that kind of accountability and ownership anywhere in today’s world, especially among executive leadership, be it corporate or political.

cia.world gave me a giggle
