I got curious. This showing is in about 90 minutes, in one of the reddest counties in the country.

There is another show tonight that has about 10 tickets sold.

Well I’ve seen enough to know it’s not even worth a hate watch:

The thing is, there will come a day when only bots will be able to get these right. The only way into a site will be to answer incorrectly, to prove you’re human.

But it looks like so much fun

Yeah, it’s not that the fraudsters got past the red tape, there just wasn’t any to begin with.

It was all honor system, and with billions of dollars at stake, honor is the first thing to go.

I’ve always liked Open Camera. Of course YMMV depending on your device.

edit: it’s also on F-Droid if that’s your preferred store.

Trump represents modern conservatism, but he himself? I’m not sure he actually stands for a whole lot beyond his own orange bubble.

He’s mostly a blank slate (philosophically and intellectually) that the people around him can use to get their agendas enacted. He surrounds himself with sycophants and bootlickers, so as long as they promise him wealth and power, he is content to parrot the talking points he’s given.

Steven Miller, Steve Bannon, Alex Jones, and all the others…those are the real evil motherfuckers. When Trump is out of the picture, they’ll find some other half-wit to puppet. The fight won’t end when one figurehead fades in to history.

idk, just one dude’s thoughts.

(Just to be clear, none of that absolves him of the real damage he’s done. Malicious indifference is still malicious.)

They took out the “report spam” button. Presumably that’s because Google’s whole business model in 2024 is delivering spam in all its various forms.

Task failed successfully

Yeah, apparently I get to be mildly infuriated at nvidia for changing shit, mildly infuriated at myself for letting it, and also still a little mildly infuriated at playground games for having an ambiguous message that never clued me into what was really happening. Trifecta!

All custom settings get overwritten and set to Ultra or Extreme on everything.

It may not be making any sort of attempt to “optimize” settings based on my hardware, but that’s probably even worse. I turned stuff down to get the framerate that works for me. Just let me keep my setting the way they were before.

I don’t even know whether it’s Forza changing the settings or Nvidia. But somebody’s doing it wrong.

Only 3 options? Does Brawny think it’s illegal to grab 3/4 of a sheet?

“Salad mores” is not what I meant by s’mores.

Turns out the 80s fearmongering of shoving free/cheap drugs at kids to get them addicted, then jack up the price was prescient after all.

Just with digital subscription drugs instead of narcotics.

Don’t do subscriptions, m’kay?

Samsung did have a major problem early last year, but it seems to be limited to a run of products with a specific firmware.

I worked (briefly) as an unarmed security guard many years ago. It was company policy to never, never, ever touch a person unless we felt our life was in danger. We were there to document only. Security is just a less reliable camera with a mouth.

I had an old 12v power tool battery die, so I took it apart to find 8 generic AA rechargeables wired together. I suspect lots of batteries are multiples of 1.5v (9/12/18) because they’re just stacked smaller cells that are already mass produced.

My company’s IT department tried to push Teams since we pay for it either way. The rest of the company revolted and stayed on Slack.

If it’s a persistent problem, and a tow truck isn’t an option…

Get a set of cheap car dollies, then you can move it out of the way. THEN you can place it perpendicular to the parking spots with the bumper at that support beam and he’ll be stuck until the blue car leaves.
