So they’ll probably name something after him, then

“…a cyBEHR truck?”

“Ha ha, that person who’s been literally saying ‘prepare like the election could be announced tomorrow’ for months was completely caught out by our guy standing in the pissing rain (despite having somewhere indoors they could make the announcement) announcing an election! Huzzah!!”

AlbertSpangler ,

It’s free to announce stuff like this, they’re well aware they will be out of govt before so much as a single weld is made, we haven’t got sufficient people in the navy to staff these anyway. It’s another “40 new hospitals”

AlbertSpangler ,

I’ve no problem with people who can afford it focusing their lives around art, lifestyle, experiences etc.

What gets me is when such people describe it as some kind of moral choice and how people who aren’t doing that are somehow wrong, rather than “Oh my God I’m so exceptionally lucky to be able to live like this and will shut my fucking mouth to any judgement about other people who don’t have these opportunities because they’re busy trying not to be homeless”

Don’t mistake jealousy for respect

Pay attention to what you’re doing

Envy, I suppose. Couldn’t tell you the exact difference off the top of my head…

SOMEONE BUILD THIS PERSON A STATUE

Musk is happy to censor at the request of other far less democratic nations, of course.

AlbertSpangler ,

If only there was somewhere…

somewhere Govt run, maybe Under militAry NoTice And oN An island Maybe

sOmewhere set up for people who are apparently conspiring against the nation?

AlbertSpangler ,

I think they want to keep going until they can release their ultimate teaser trailer.

Remember when MS brought Skype, and had it pre-installed and running at startup for every Windows PC, and you really had to fight to make it go away.

And then COVID hit, and everyone urgently needed video conferencing and had Skype pre-installed, and still no-one used it?

AlbertSpangler ,

GE imaging kit (certainly their CT scanners) do (or did for as long as I used them) run on Linux.

AlbertSpangler ,

HE SPECIFICALLY TOLD US NOT TO DO THAT…

AlbertSpangler ,

I. Pose in front of mirror with it, start work on John Wick inspired medical action drama script in head.

Become overly distracted by it, wondering who would direct, what music to play over scenes, who would play the love interest…

Forget to do basic diligence on another patients’ results. Morbidity and Mortality hearing. Malpractice case.

Try to argue your own defence, but just can’t get the idea of “Love shack” by the B-52’s playing over the scene where you perform CPR on the president on top of the speeding ambulance. Would “Good vibrations” work better, or strike the wrong tone? Does the scene NEED to be at a beach? But then the tidal wave wouldn’t work…

Struck off. Escorted out of hospital, allowed only to get your things from your locker. Security guard standing behind you, unsmiling as you pile notebooks and overly annotated script drafts into a duffle bag.

Suddenly, his radio goes off. Something weird happening at the main entrance, backup needed urgently!! Conflicted, he looks at you with a mix of pity and contempt, before barking an instruction to get your stuff and go as he runs towards the main entrance.

Screams outside, as what looks like a ninja lands on the window outside the locker room, before somersaulting down with an Uzi in each hand. Doves take flight as he does so, in slow motion.

You’ve still got the gun.

It’s happening.

Opening your white coat so it will swoop dramatically, you find “final FINAL final tracklist” on your phone, and hit play, as you pick up the prop nunchucks you brought for script research…

The Ocean - Swoon

A surge of illegal homemade machine guns has helped fuel gun violence in the US (apnews.com)

Communities around the U.S. have seen shootings carried out with weapons converted to fully automatic in recent years, fueled by a staggering increase in small pieces of metal or plastic made with a 3D printer or ordered online. Laws against machine guns date back to the bloody violence of Prohibition-era gangsters. But the...

AlbertSpangler ,

Clearly the obvious step is to totally legalise fully automatic weaponry with no limits on firing rate or capacity, so that the good guys can buy them and then the problem will solve itself

AlbertSpangler ,

Best get rid of the NFA then.

I LOVE YOU KITCHEN GUN

Space: it’s really really hard

AlbertSpangler ,

“If we don’t publish their stuff, they’ll go somewhere else where we don’t get their advertising revenue we can’t check that their material doesn’t cross the lines of our standards which we don’t enforce because money. Therefore, not publishing them would be a violation of income free speech because they bring in money from their other fanatics couldn’t possibly post any where else and so is worse than not making money off publishing and promoting them”

What are your favorite fonts for technical reports?

I work at a consulting engineering firm and write a lot of reports that are read by the public. I have an opportunity to recommend a different font for all of our written documents and am looking for something more modern/fresh than Times New Roman. Also open to recommendations for purpose specific communities about...

George Santos will not seek re-election after House details ‘pervasive’ fraud (www.theguardian.com)

The New York Republican congressman, fabulist and criminal defendant George Santos said he would not seek re-election next year, after the US House ethics committee issued a report detailing “grave and pervasive campaign finance violations and fraudulent activity” and recommended action against him....

Well, clearly he’ll keep his word.

I really need someone to reassure me this is photoshopped

MS Edge browser wants really hard to stay (www.theverge.com)

Look at that shit! Before it was here are your two browsers choose! Now it’s…how about for the letter A? Suppose a website starts with an A, would you choose Edge to be your default browser?.. then you choose chrome or Firefox, and when you click on a link Edge Pops up with some shit like…Are you really sure you wanna use...

AlbertSpangler ,

I use both, and have to say that Impress is not nearly as good as PowerPoint. And I hate the “designer” assistant crap, “paste as image” crap, and various other things about PowerPoint, but it works better overall.

Access is hateful, Base is genuinely random in how it works or fails.

Writer is great. I put together and formatted an entire book with alternating header graphics by chapter in Writer. I swear at Word daily.

Really scary 2D horror games?

I am fascinated by games with 2D art that still manage to give you a good scare. I guess what I find interesting is if a game can manage to translate the scares and audio design which we know from 3D environments and movies. I have never really played any though. I would love to hear some suggestions, especially with Halloween...

AlbertSpangler ,

Holy hell, they made a game of I have no mouth and I must scream??

That’s going on the list
