Why not just lock out the serial numbers for parts from phones that have been reported as stolen?

The Simpsons did it first.

Wasn’t one of PG&E’s recent justifications for an anti-solar maneuver “solar isn’t fair to poor people”?

Exorbitant electric bills are fair to poor people I guess?

I know this sounds made up, but it isn’t. I had to talk down a family member who accused Democrats of supporting “after birth abortions”. My response:

“No X, that’s called Infanticide. It’s illegal in all 50 states.”

Don’t know if he still believes it, but I encouraged him to look it up online and he later conceded.

Don’t let other people tell you how to eat.

If Italians had been gatekeepering 500 years ago, they wouldn’t have tomato-based dishes today.

Sure, Microsoft is happy to let their AIs scan everyone else’s code., but is anyone aware of any software houses letting AIs scan their in-house code?

Any lawyer worth their salt won’t let AIs anywhere near their company’s proprietary code intil they are positive that AI isn’t going to be blabbing the code out to every one of their competitors.

But of course, IANAL.

No, this can’t be. They took all of our personal information so they could use AI to tailor ads to exactly what we wanted at any given moment.

1 I had assumed votes were private 2 If I don’t hear soon that votes are private, I’ll simply stop participating and return to lurking. I’ll eventually just wander off to the next thing that doesn’t expose my votes to potential bots and/or abusive actors.

Soon she’s going to reveal she’s a Borat/Andy Kaufman-esque comedian and we’ve all been pranked.

Nah. Whatever word we use, some propagandist will argue its semantics rather than argue that people’s lives should actually be good enough to eat, be happy, be healthy, have a home and raise kids.

 

I'm looking for "fat"? keycaps similar to what Matias uses for Esc, Ctrl, Option, Cmd and Space keys on their ErgoPro.
What search term should I use to find similar keycaps? I've tried "tall", "fat", "oversized", "big", etc., but I only find extra wide (in the X direction) or extra tall (in the Z direction) rather than in the Y direction.
Any help welcome.

 

I distinctly remember saying, "Beef".

 

The blood center is getting aggressive...

 

Has Huy Fong Sriracha changed color?

Saw a bunch of bottles at the store today, but instead of their usual brick-red color, the sauce was almost brown. I checked the expiration dates on a few bottles -- the date was June of 2026 (or there abouts, don't remember the exact date), so they weren't expired. Anyone know if these Sriracha bottles are unusual, or is Sriracha brown now?

 

In the Dune universe, when a laser weapons hits a shield, both are destroyed in a nuclear explosion reaction.

So instead of building nuclear weapons, wouldn’t it be easier to tie a timer and a “parachute” to a laser gun and drop it from orbit onto your enemy’s city?
