The war[.]gov ad looks exactly like a painfully insecure twelve year old described the trailer for one of the shitty CoD games (let's say Ghosts) to a painfully insecure thirty year old with an AI budget but no taste.

The only difference between a genius distracting you and a dumbass distracting you is that the dumbass is eating lead paint chips while you're looking the other way.

You might want to keep an eye on how Amazon lists it. It's showing up without a visible rating in the Amazon app, but the "free" price is still very visible. I went into the listing and neither format shows reviews.

A world full of people who only enjoy seeing numbers go up. MMORPG kids who dreamed of skipping plot in favor of getting to go to a new place and fight bigger numbers so they could increase their own numbers. Only now it's net worth (make number bigger) and biological age (make number smaller)

Finally heard the "Choosin' Texas" song. That's what the whole discourse was about? I'm not a country fan, but some of the songs do interesting stuff. I assumed this was going to be one of them, but no. It's just pop-country. Nothing particularly special or offensive. Weird hill to die on.

Why can't he just make his own version of the premise? It's not like "rescue person from a mega-prison" is so unique that it couldn't be done in another way. Floating theme park, middle of the Atlantic. Failed as a business. Turned into a mega-prison. Whoops! Saylor Twift's plane crashed there.

A machine that is activated by a measurable crime is, technically, entrapping you, but only because you were committing a measurable crime. If the US ever implements the average speed checks other countries have, minds will melt.

It's kind of fun to switch off JavaScript and see which sites have fallback HTML. It also gives a good insight into which sites are built to track you. The Economist, for example, only allows you to view their site with all JavaScript turned on, not just js attached to their domain. Sneaky

And then there's T3, where they bravely asked "What if we had the liquid metal Terminator, but it also had the breakable metal frame and a red leather outfit and boobs?" "Ok, but only if we can completely erase any likeable quality that John Connor possessed"

The feds are famously lenient when it comes to adding wire fraud to charges. You would have to be doing it via very obvious use of the Internet.. oh. Well, I hope nothing in this scheme was delivered to your home via USPS - it was? I'm sure they won't be concerned with mail fraud, either.

The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.

Unless the only people you want to understand the movie are Faroe Islanders and Nordic people (and even then, nowhere near comprehension), you probably don't mean Old English.

Eine schöne Bastel- und Malarbeit. Manchmal trägt Obelix den Hinkelstein. Manchmal ist Obelix der Hinkelstein. Dürfte nicht leicht gewesen sein, diesen Stein zu finden. #Asterix #Fanart

Das Bild zeigt einen kleinen, länglichen und nach oben abgerundeten Stein, dessen Form an einen Hinkelstein erinnert. Der Stein wurde rundherum so bemalt, dass er selbst zum Körper von Obelix wird.
Auf der Vorderseite sind Obelix’ Gesicht mit den roten Zöpfen, sein nackter Oberkörper sowie der grüne Gürtel mit großer gelber Schnalle zu sehen. Darunter setzt sich seine typische blau-weiß gestreifte Hose bis zum unteren Rand des Steins fort. Seine Füße stehen auf einer kleinen grünen Wiese, die mit roten Pilzen und Blumen verziert ist. Der obere, dunkelgraue Teil des Steins bleibt weitgehend unbemalt und wirkt dadurch wie ein Hinkelstein, der hinter Obelix aufragt.
Die Rückseite löst den kleinen optischen Scherz auf: Dort fehlen Kopf und Oberkörper völlig. Stattdessen sieht man nur Obelix’ Arme, die sich von beiden Seiten um den grauen Stein legen. Seine Hände greifen hinter dem „Hinkelstein“ ineinander. Darunter sind wiederum die gestreifte Hose und seine Füße auf der Wiese zu erkennen.

Good rule in general is Do Not Touch Wild Animals (and pets that are not your own should only be touched with permission). Great rule: Do Not Get Close To Any Animal Acting Completely Outside Normal Behavior (bats on ground, daylight raccoons, aggressive squirrels, etc)

He is one of the worst dressed men I've ever seen. Not a single shirt, suit jacket, or sports coat he owns fits him right. Always straining at the button because he wants to flex, but it looks fucking ridiculous. His pants are too short and his shoes do not work with the suit color.

The opening theme is almost the same as one of the soundtrack themes for Rocky IV. Since they both used Vince DiCola, not crazy surprising, but it did throw me when my childhood started bugging me during a Rocky movie.

"It's not impossible" Flipping a coin 1000 times and having it land on its edge every single time is "not impossible", it's just of such vanishingly small probability that it's functionally indistinct from impossible. 10,000 launches per year is 27 per day. Fucking ridiculous

The billionaires genuinely think that the majority of Americans think like them. Whenever they are in a position to test that, it blows up. But they cannot accept they are in a tiny minority, so it must be the liberals and the current presenters and the deep state and... and...
