From the pathetic t-rex to the mighty chicken.

Better yet, market it as patent medicine.

The undocumented immigrants aka the “criminals”

Optimistic. I interpreted it as depicting straight-up convict leasing.

I kinda like the colinearity. 🤷

First of all, I do know where they live: Dacula is an exurb of Atlanta, about two towns farther out than where I grew up. It’s kinda country, but not country enough to excuse dogs running loose (not that anywhere is these days anyway).

Second, that’s all irrelevant because they had apparently taken their dog with them to Burger King.

WTF was the dog doing running around loose to begin with?

WTF was the kid doing in the front seat (which is illegal in Georgia, except when the back seat doesn’t exist or something like that) to begin with?

There are so many kinds of negligence going on here even before you start considering the gun!

(I can only guess this was an old-school regular-cab pickup truck with the dog in the bed, but what self-respecting hick still drives a truck like that in 2026? Edit: video shows the truck was an extended-cab; no excuse for the kid to be in the front.)

An entire article and thread and so far not even a single mention of RepRap? Being able to print the motors was like the single biggest hurdle left for that project!

Vive les pistes cyclables!

The cynical might claim that they can afford to appear to respond to public pressure now, since the slush fund was already completed.

If it’s something like Google or Windows that’s suddenly started generating AI “answers” or whatever when you just use your computer as normal, does that get counted in those statistics?

I bet it does, and I bet it accounts for a huge percentage of it.

IIRC, the last time I used a new install of LO for the first time, it asked me which interface I preferred instead of defaulting to the old one.

Not sure which frontend or app you’re using, but at least the default web UI should have a block button for you, as it does for me.

I don’t like the guy’s breathless over-enthusiasm, but NetworkChuck has a video on how to integrate LLM-based voice assistants with HomeAssistant using Whisper and Ollama.

At least one of the co-conspirators is apparently in Colombia, so my guess is they aren’t white.

Does anyone really think he did it by accident due to sheer incompetence, as opposed to on purpose as a component of some kind of crime (fraud, money laundering, etc.)?

Berm Peak had a persuasive video about how fucked up the situation with ebike registration is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_M3gMfK5B4

A C compiler in two weeks is a difficult, but doable, grad school class project (especially if you use lex and yacc instead of hand-coding the parser). And I guarantee 80 hours of grad student time costs less than $20k.

Frankly, I’m not impressed with the presentation in your anecdote at all.

On the contrary: vampires are an allegory for the upper class, being parasites who suck the blood (wealth) from society.

(Also, the nature of being immortal means you have plenty of time to wait for your investments to appreciate, so all but the newest vampires should be wealthy enough to afford a castle if they want.)

I typically sort by “top six hours” and I’m barely aware of the problem OP is talking about. So yeah, it seems like downvoting works.
