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

Corey Booker or Raphael Warnock seem like they could bring a helpful calming demeanor, though I think the tickets have historical been the other way around, with the VP being more aggressive.
Yes, it is insane, and none of us like that we are all dealing with insane events. Sorry if our responses reflect that we are terrified and pissed off and have no fucking idea how to get back to something that feels normal.
How much for a miss?
The Tropic Thunder DVD commentary
Probably the PS3. Got it at a time in my life when I didn’t have much direction, and then stumbled into Demon’s Souls while I thought I was waiting for Skyrim to come out. I still play my second PS3 after playing my first one to death.
Pretty much, except it may be more appropriate to replace “implies” with “determined there was sufficient evidence to conclude”

Do you have a hook up on some free dog shit?!
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.
I won’t claim to know about ability to produce the components of a weapon or ability to actually use one, but it appears that the only facility in the US that has the capacity to assemble or disassemble nuclear weapons is in Texas.
I just thought that the prospect of Texas trying to secede is a bit more complicated and scary, and thought I would offer a take to balance the jokes.
Presumably somewhere in Texas, this time they’ll have nukes. They shouldn’t 🤞 have a way to use them, but it’s curious what would happen with them if a vote to secede was successful.
Maybe the best fruit
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.
Like a cautionary tale?
I may be a little more comfortable with the weather than I might otherwise be if it weren’t for Greta Thunberg making it a bit harder for corporations to fuck everything up. Does that count?
Otherwise, Carl Sagan.
For a rather unsettling take, you may be interested in the concept of the digital panopticon. Because of the degree of surveillance that is possible in what media we consume, it’s also possible that we are intentionally being kept in these echo chambers.
