I got this a lot when I was an actual boss. It was always done in a brotherly, jokingly left-handed, kind of way. This fits perfectly with my management style. It was nice.

If it’s satire, it’s really close to the line. So close, that I wouldn’t be surprised if right-wing propagandists ran with it, just to prove a point. After all, if a big enough group of crazies rally behind something like this, they’d be stupid not to.

that’s not going to be enough to justify a definitely-$1k+ PS6
I’m inclined to agree. They might be able to sweeten that with a one year PSN voucher or something. Otherwise, you’re just paying for access to exclusive content, access to PSN, and the ability to say “I have a Sony.”

This is the way to go. Make sure to get the drive serviced so it doesn’t crap out prematurely. There are so many PS2s out there, you can probably still get one cheap.

This is kind of a big deal. This was partly propping up Sony’s disc manufacturing arm. All they have left is whatever DVD and CDs are still in production, assuming that’s still a thing.

20 years? More like somewhere between 30 to 40 if we count early WWW and the Gopher+Usenet that came before it. The GPL isn’t quite that old, but the spirit behind it sure is.
I hadn’t considered AI being a paywall around the whole WWW but now that you mention it, it kind of looks that way. I’ve opined elsewhere that social media companies (e.g. Facebook) are building walled-gardens to keep eyeballs and attention-spans locked on their brand of reality. This would just be another avenue of attack in that strategy.

Good god. Lemme guess, the propellant in that can are CFCs and they added lead to lubricate the spray since it kept clogging the nozzle. May as well add arsenic for flavor.
- Comment on The Real Purpose of Wealth 💸 3 weeks ago:
there are people who have nothing to lose, no family etc. - what about them?
All I’m going to say is that squeezing the middle class like they have been is going to create a lot terminally ill people with otherwise treatable disease. Those people may very well be incredibly pissed off, along with family, and also have the time and resources to do things that might be life-ending anyway.

Yes. To be clear, all this makes them even stranger (and deeper in the closet?) than I previously knew.

These ‘zipper merge’ vs ‘early merge’ arguments are really the worst. At the same time, the lack of consensus fully explains why merge zones like that are such a mess.
- Comment on Be The Sunshine ☀️ 5 weeks ago:
I doubt anyone is driving slow just to fuck with me. A stranger in another car. You know?
I’ll add to this that a lot of people are walking around with this fiction in their head about ‘good drivers’. In reality, driving is a skill and not everyone can be good at it. We really don’t want people like that driving fast, and maybe not as fast as everyone else at that.
So, I see someone driving slow and I honestly think “maybe this is the best they can do knowing that it would be dangerous to go faster, beyond what their reflexes can handle.”

This is why I had a problem with “phonics” as a teaching philosophy.
You have “ph” sometimes teaming up to cosplay as a freaking “f”. And that’s one of the easier rules. It’s all broken from the get-go.

was a yoga teacher for 3 years earning $25 a week and no man wanted me […] in Northern Virginia & Washington DC […] And I didn’t have a car.
TL;DR: even with treating your body like a temple, having a low income and low transportation mobility makes one unattractive in the DC metro.
In that region, single-income setups have low viability due to the egregious cost of living in the area, so people actively seek to partner up with high-income earners. Plus, the whole suburban sprawl is designed, and ultimately requires, cars in order to get around. You’d think that location would matter - and it does for schools and employment - but nobody lives near anyone else they want to date, and not being hyper mobile by driving all the time is practically a social death sentence. It can be a brutal environment that is hostile to most activities outside of earning an office-job income.
For example, the NoVA subreddit had recurring threads started by young professionals looking to move to the area. Every time, they’d ask where the nightlife is and what rent is like in those neighborhoods. Cue the entire subreddit throwing buckets of cold water on OP, as they’d get a reality check that as a post-grad, they’d be able to afford rent anywhere from 40-60 minutes (by car) from any such hot-spot. Oh, and the same would go for their commute too, and that might be just as far from said nightlife as it is from home.

Even we humans can withstand 3000°C for a short time.
If we want to be entirely pedantic, everything can withstand any destructive condition for at least one plank time.

Do they put a seam or darts in to intentionally pull it into the crack?
Yes. That and the garment might be undersized, while taking advantage of the high lycra/spandex content of the material.

To be fair, we are looking in the entire world for birds entirely located in Brazil. Task seems deliberately harder than it needs to be.
