A carryover of terminology?

We still say “film” even though most everything is recorded and played back via digital video.

I’ve always viewed it as the Disk contains the Disc. IOW, the floppy has the magnetic disc in it. The optical disc is the disc without the Disk.

Probably completely wrong etymologically, but semantically it’s fun.

Oh no…

You push for the world”

That’s kinda astonishing. I mean, I knew there were a lot of bots, but that many? That’s crazy. How did they filter for bots?

I get 5 weeks.

In the US.

Thanks to a union.

And I get paid the hours on top of regular pay at the end of the year if I don’t use the vacation. Nobody gives you a second thought if you use your vacation. Zero pressure not to fuck off for a week or more.

Go Union.

Yeah, teachers just make them miss part of their breaks or whatever during school hours. My kids are about this age and come home occasionally with stories of some kid who wrecks things for everyone resulting in missing outside or other free time, or loss of whatever break from class work that may have been offered as a reward for conformity.

It’s the difference between a whole, cooked potato and Pringles.

That’s a grease pen, not a marker.

Looks like an anti acid medication label color palette.

It may not be so much that they were bested by those they might consider beneath them - but the fact is that they made them look bad to their peers and potentially the public. They lost control of their lab rats and in a highly regimented environment like that it’s like a whistleblower at a government contractor. You know they’re gonna get fucked.

Lost me at the “high T alpha”.

This is true.

I dropped a Bratwurst when I was stacking them on the plate to bring inside off the grill.

Wasn’t going to wash it off, it was covered in dirt. It was the dog’s lucky day when I called her to come collect it.

Now, every single time she gets let out she has to check the brat-drop-spot and make sure another hasn’t materialized in her absence.

To have such a good career payout that you don’t need a career.

Oh, another one of those “if you type this thing into Facebook somehow it will cause “x” to happen.” things.

Usually something to do with privacy.

Really? I mean, think about what you could do if you can really control water. Move it, change state, etc. down to the molecular level. Not some limited splashy-splashy effect from a fantasy movie.

There’s water in stone, that when heated, will cause it to explode.

Destructive weather, you can flood or prevent flooding.

Exsanguinate anything living.

Manipulate and move anything with water. Living things. Earth. Move clouds.

Freeze things. Flash them to steam. Slice them with high pressure water streams.

I dunno, man. If you can really control H2O with no personal cost, it’s probably one of the most powerful “elements” out there. You could move mountains.

I knew what video this was and had a little lol anyway. She does a good job.

Yes they are.

They started with digital price tags stating it would “save the customer money” which is absolute bullshit. Adding a new tech-laden system to quickly adjust pricing isn’t saving anyone money, it’s a way to make more money.

And yeah, they’re already trying to gouge us deeper

Markus. Don’t know if they make them anymore, had it for years.

Edit: yes, they’re still made, but they’ve been changed a little and are more expensive.

Shitty gaming chairs fall apart like this. There are a lot of shitty gaming chairs. Funny, I got what I thought was a cheap-ass ikea chair and it’s still trucking along just fine.

Grok is a depth of understanding that will always escape Musk in his right-wing ivory tower.
