I didn’t understand what imgur had become before I clicked the link and briefly thought the library had lots of copies of Twisters in 4k.

Who will carry on the knowledge of what the a:\ and b:\ drives were?

I liked Blair’s “appearance” on the Bad Dates podcast.

If I just use a projector, do i still have to worry about the maker of the tablet that connects to the projector doing the same thing?

They make phones. I had to look this up since I had never heard of this company.

I would find it weird to be referred to as Nothing staff, or a Nothing employee.

But for the near term, maybe it means they have to stop putting Carrie Fisher in stuff?

Might as well throw in Ed Norton’s performance in Kingdom of Heaven.

Do you have a hook up on some free dog shit?!

I’ve wondered if there’s a way for political campaigns to take advantage of all the smart speakers by mixing in that old school approach of rolling through neighborhoods with loudspeakers on their cars. Step 1. Make a campaign ad Step 2. Upload the ad to Amazon music library Step 3. Cruise around saying, “Alexa, play campaign ad for…” through the loud speaker

Reminds me of the “the medium is the message” phrase, and hope that the creators are going for something unique either to the story or the presentation, but the cynic in me thinks that they may just be doing this to set up a Doomsday Clock movie.

Is the job to be interacting with a computer for the entire duration of your shift? Fuck this incentive structure that requires people to fake touching their computer parts to show that work is being done.

With proliferation of AI generated content, people aren’t able to identify other human generated content, or be certain that their online interactions are with a bot or human. This scenario has apparently been called the dark forest internet because people will try to preserve their communities by more restrictive curating, effectively hiding both from other humans and bots.

I like some of Kyle’s videos, and I’m not doing a great job of summarizing all of the points made in this one. I found it worth the 15ish minutes, but probably should have watched it at higher speed.

I meant “maybe” in the context of it seeming like a significant gamble to attempt the rescue. It certainly doesn’t always work out for the potential rescuers. https://slate.com/technology/2013/05/rescuers-turning-into-victims-lessons-from-first-responders-on-saving-people.html

So my hedging with the word “maybe” is because I certainly don’t have the expertise to know the risks with attempting the rescue, but then again “maybe” any potential rescuers shouldn’t have asked for permission.

I worked on pipelines for part of my career in maintenance planning, not in construction. I’ve been trying to guess at how a rescue operation could have been attempted in this case. I’m not aware of any mechanism for cutting into the pipe at the depth the divers were stuck that wouldn’t immediately result in flooding the pipe, or risk cutting through the divers. The only rescue option that I could guess at is divers going in from the end of the pipe, swimming down through the length of it, and somehow pulling the trapped divers out.

Maybe the owner/state should have let rescuers give it a try, but that rescue option sounds terrifying as hell.

In the style of Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, except we root for the vampires in this one?

Aw, I remember the hype on that movie before it came out, and media being like, “could this be the moment when video game movies start being good?” I can understand actors getting suckered into projects like this. I saw that it was free to watch on a streaming service a while ago. I still passed on watching it.

Cloud Atlas is the one with Tom Hanks, and I agree it wasn’t worth sticking through since i think it was like 3 hours long. I never saw Atlas Shrugged, but I’m guessing it’s also pretty heavy on the propaganda considering the source material.

Is it okay to openly say that you’ve cloned another product, or promote a product as a clone of another? I honestly don’t know the legal precedents, and know that there are many sites that have copied elements of other products that they intend to compete with, but reading the post title gave me a sinking feeling of Reddit lawyers perking up.

The site looks nice, and I really hope that I’m just being paranoid about possible legal exposure.

Teen Titans go to the Movies made WB studio the vehicle for the villain’s world domination plan.
