This is also a good maneuver because if we were any other country, they'd be considering sanctions. Once they have successfully pivoted dependencies off of us, I expect to see sanctions.

Everyone is dealing with the vendor lock-in pain and working on mitigating.

I partially agree, but this is also a data handling issue, similar to the Tea hack, where data that isn't operationally relevant wasn't encrypted and stored air gapped.

2 hours later. Oh. Let's take my meds and get to work. First, let's take a break from the computer. lol

I suspect this is just a technology limitation. Everyone I know had nausea and other issues. The young ones that kept using it often adapted, like riding roller coasters or eating spicy foods.

I think this is a "not enough spoons to torture myself like this" issue, and society takes women's spoons.

Yeah, a lot of things aren't researched or utilized because it's not considered profitable. We already know the money powerhouses have dictated "treat, not cure".

None of that has to do with RFK jr. He sewage swims because of his very Western beliefs.

I support the bowing and scraping move. It might not work, but it is worth a try. The person he is bowing and scraping to can totally fuck over his business and all the employees.

There are important things he hasn't capitulated on. This might slightly improve the situation.

The sad thing about too much AI slop on the internet is that humans also process common phrases and store them in their brain and regurgitate them. So the more we read, the more society will start sounding like AI.

i found something on wikipedia while trying to get a list of kinds of trees en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...

Someone linked this the other day and I immediately thought you should know about it but then I thought you probably already did know about it and it might be too specific, but in case neither of those is true: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_individual_rocks

Every morning I see bees sleeping in the squash flowers, this one had 3 😃

Ah, those fiery sunset skies over #Haleakalā Volcano...

If you use the show what followers liked, I'm sorry.

Some people repost anything they care about. I often find myself questioning how much damage I'm inflicting on people I consider friends that follow me.

This is in there with using the placebo effect. People often think of placebo as you don't need anything, but our brains don't work that way. Some people require the placebo to get the effect. They say it's all in your head, but nobody fully controls their brain. Sometimes we have to trick it.

Was discussing with people in the know, and outside of usual chemical waste companies do for everything, there's no risk when dealing with uranium enrichment. The half-life makes the radiation less than background even enriched. It's the products produced when in a reactor that are dangerous.

Even when doing my job, I must be careful of rabbit holes. Do I really need to be reading the dnf.conf man page? Sure, they are all relevant to my work, but it doesn't always meet current priorities.

I'm sure there will be people that will say games are different than movies, anime, tv, and books because you interact with them.

I guess I feel sorry for them that their imagination can't interact with a book on that level.

Who gets to decide if it only exists to fulfill someone's rape fantasy? If the fantasy is from a victim's perspective, do they have the right to decide then? What about murder, torture, genocide? We allow all of this in non-game media. Why only games?

How is it understandable? At what point do you separate what is allowed to be censored in a game versus a movie, anime, or tv show? Rape and incest aren't unfamiliar topics in AAA games, either.

Late night fanfic mechsploitation.

this is so fuckin funny

Two cats snooze on a blue pillow. They’re laying on each other in similar poses.

Hacker cats!!

Here is my litter pair Null & Void

They also run into the problem that if you spend years to infiltrate a cell, having the cell just sharing cooking recipes is not going to be acceptable. They do not like burning time and money and coming up empty.

help my friend continue to not die! they are super awesome and basically an irl shadowrunner and one of the coolest people i have had the pleasure of meeting

As I drive ever so slowly behind this roadrunner, I can't help but empathize with the coyote.

Okay. It stopped. It's going to run off the left side. Nope. Down the road. Okay. it stopped. It's going to run off the right side. Nope. Down the road. Took a quarter mile before it finally decided.
