  • Drop your most "wtf that's not how the world works" from movies/tv shows.

  • I remember very vividly when they redid the special effects in the original Star Wars trilogy and added this dumbass ring coming out of the Death Star explosion. It completely broke immersion for me because I was like “wtf is that supposed to be?”

  • Tim Walz compares Donald Trump's Madison Square Garden rally to 1939 Nazi event

  • But that’s always what fascists do, isn’t it? They appropriate symbols from wherever they can find them to twist their meaning. Swastikas, Gadsden flag, Celtic crosses, Nordic runes, punisher logo, thin blue line, they all started as something else that were adopted by fascists and their meaning twisted.

  • U.S. Department of Defense and Army Records Regarding Incident at Arlington National Cemetery  - American Oversight

    Jump

  • Heavily redacted is right. There’s a handful of sentence fragments that are not redacted.

  • I like this and you might be right because there is no indication in the last panel that the creature is attacking them.

  • I think the joke is that he is solving climate change by releasing a monster to kill humanity.

  • What if he’d had an allergic reaction on his way to the guillotine? Wouldn’t that be awful?

  • Let’s be fair though. He also came up with some great ideas like injecting bleach or using UV light “inside the body” or whatever.

    /s if that wasn’t obvious.

  • Amazon wants to be everything to everyone.

    Jump

  • I started the same thing earlier this year when my subscription to Prime was expiring. So far it really hasn’t been a big problem and has the nice perk that it encourages me to shop less at Amazon.

  • looks around and gestures broadly in agreement*

  • Can someone recommend me a decent air purifier?

    Jump

  • +1 for Winix. I’ve had several of the 5500-2 units for 2-3 years now. They do a good job and I appreciate that they have HEPA + charcoal filters so eliminates more than just particulates. My main complaint is that the lights don’t fully turn off at night so I always have to cover them with something (usually a T-shirt). Otherwise I really like them.

  • ELI5 If Trump is a supposed billionaire why does he keep promoting cheap crap to get money?

    Jump

  • A lot of his value is tied up in assets that aren’t liquid (real estate). Also he is probably not worth as much as he says.

    But the main reason is that these “cheap crap” things you mention are probably vehicles for money laundering from foreign actors. The best example are the NFTs he was hawking for awhile. Costs next to nothing to make and foreign states can buy a ton of them to give him money without it being easy to detect. Even if it is detected it is still legal to buy silly NFTs, right? Certainly more so than a foreign government giving a candidate bags of cash for nothing.

  • Alabama executes death-row prisoner with nitrogen gas

  • Probably not that hard if you don’t care if the patient survives.

  • Satisfactory's developers had no idea how popular its 1.0 launch was going to be: 'We try not to focus too much on that stuff and just make it as big as we possibly can'

    It’s when they added pipes to the game.

  • I generally like the picture quality from my LG OLED but the interface is not great and you are sooo right about the updates. My SO constantly complains about turning on the tv and it needs an update.

  • LAPD raid goes from bad to farce after gun allegedly sucked onto MRI machine

    Jump

  • The machine is only loud when it is actively scanning a patient which it doesn’t seem like was happening in this case. Otherwise it’s relatively silent. Also the big button is (in my experience at multiple hospitals) always in a different room behind a box that you have to open. My point being this wasn’t some knee jerk reflex where he had the gun pulled out of his hands and he slapped the button. He physically had to leave the room and find the button to do this.

  • LAPD raid goes from bad to farce after gun allegedly sucked onto MRI machine

    Jump

  • The mechanism they are describing here is the emergency one (like if a human is trapped against the machine by something metal and is being crushed - you need to kill the magnet NOW). There is a slower, much safer mechanism for deactivating the magnet that should have been used here but that would require the officer admitting he had made a mistake and asking for help.

    Also I just want to point out that the rifle should be considered no longer safe to use unless thoroughly inspected by an expert. In a similar case some years back, the police officer’s sidearm was pulled into the machine. After retrieval it was found that the weapon had been magnetized by the scanner and as a result the firing pin was able to spontaneously release.

  • Is it possible to suspend games on PC like the Steam Deck?

  • I’m confused - doesn’t everyone just leave Satisfactory running to increase production??

  • Senate chairman demands answers from emergency rooms that denied care to pregnant patients

    Jump

  • I’m biased but putting the onus on doctors here completely misses the point in my opinion. Let me just point out that this isn’t a “policy change” - these states have made it illegal to perform these procedures. In at least one state the physician can go to prison.

    In an idealistic worldview we can expect every person to do the morally optimal thing every time without regard to consequences but that simply isn’t realistic. You are basically advocating that physicians should be jumping to break the law and therefore endanger themselves. That just is not a realistic expectation of any person.

    Tl;dr - Physicians are just people and are not the ones that created this situation. They are normal people and expecting them to sacrifice career/freedom to help one patient is beyond what is realistic.
