Didn’t he also try to cancel Biden’s program to develop chip factories in the US? This guy has no coherent plan.

TIL the obsession over taking in all the groceries in one trip isn’t an exclusively human trait.

That’s the Trump stance

Middle and bottom right.
They’re the only ones that aren’t a bridge, a car, a motorcycle, a bike, a traffic light, stairs, a bus, a crosswalk, or a fire hydrant.
- Comment on How exactly are people lighting Teslas on fire? 2 weeks ago:
If I ever got tired of my car and wanted to burn it down somewhere safe and legal to do it, I’d do it the same way as it is usually done for any kind of car: break the window, douse the inside with a flammable liquid and light it up. I’d also have to be very careful while lighting it because if the flammable fumes have time to build up inside before being lit, it could explode and injure the person lighting it.

If you lack true talent in your workforce, you can’t make up for it by throwing more people and money at it.

Better build a research base on Mars where legal and ethical limitations don’t exist. And IDK, start researching teleportation or something.

Is that actually a thing? I haven’t used Windows in a year.
- Comment on Anon fixes their games 4 weeks ago:
Yes, it makes sense in a game where the designer already knows where the important action is and controls the camera to focus on it. It however does not work in a game where the action could be anywhere and camera doesn’t necessarily focus on it.
- Comment on Anon fixes their games 4 weeks ago:
When it’s on, whatever the playable character looks at will be in focus and everything else that is at different distances will be blurry, as it would be the case in real life if your eyes were the playable character’s eyes. The problem is that the player’s eyes are NOT the playable character’s eyes. They can look around on the screen without moving the character. But the player can’t see shit because everything is blurry.

Has the person who invented the depth of field effect for a video game ever even PLAYED a game before?
- Comment on Anon doesn't hold back 4 weeks ago:
I introduced by young nephews to Mario Kart. They were too bad at the game to race so we played battle mode instead. I’ve let them fight each other as I hung back and practiced drifting around the map, only to intervene whenever one of them was getting a little too cocky.

I call BS. There are still tools and ways you could easily break through it. Plenty of which are far better than just kicking it.

The IT guy just liked to play games at lunch time. He even organized a few LAN parties every year at the school.

- Comment on Anon sets up a prank at school 1 month ago:
All I knew from my perspective was that this teacher was angry at the existence of those games and the IT guy never removed them. To be that tells me school admin either allowed it or simply didn’t care.
The computers weren’t really that locked down or secure from user tampering. Some idiots would even install malware all the time on them like Bonzi Buddy. The IT guy didn’t strike me as the hard working type and would only re-image a computer if it was no longer functioning.
- Comment on Anon sets up a prank at school 1 month ago:
That reminds me of back when I was in high school. The IT guy was a big gamer and had installed RainbowSix on all the machines so we could play against each other during lunch time including himself.
One stuck up, self-righteous teacher heard about the games and tried to have the IT guy delete them from all the computers because they were “violent games that had no business being in school”. He refused and the school’s administration seemed to have his back on it. So during a computer class she instructed the entire class to delete the game folder from their computer and empty the recycle bin and then leave the file explorer open so she could walk around and see that it has been done.
While everyone else were deleting theirs I copied the game folder on my machine elsewhere, then deleted the original to show her that it wasn’t there. After she was gone I moved the folder back and shared it on the network so everyone else could copy it back into their computer. We kept playing the game at every lunch without skipping a beat. Get fucked, hag.

IT is incompetent. You could easily disable ability to change desktop backgrounds for students

Why would a crack cause it to de-orbit to begin with?
- Comment on What we all want deep down 1 month ago:
Looking back at my life having seen my salary slowly increase over my career, you always end up taking for granted what you once worked hard to get and comparing yourself with people who make more, making you want more. But nobody should make so little that they have to worry.
- Comment on Musk? Trump? Who Exactly Is Running the Federal Government? 1 month ago:
If you want to know who really is in charge, all you have to do is check who you’re not allowed to criticize.
On a related note, Reddit is banning more subreddits that criticized Musk.

You think they’ve brought the price down from $35?
I bet this thing is actually worth only $25 and they’ve increased the price to that instead. With shipping and handling you end up paying almost double.

Given an unlimited amount of tries, anything that has a non-zero chance of happening will happen. But what has zero chance of happening will still not happen.
