  • North Korea has stolen billions in cryptocurrency and tech firm salaries, report says

    Jump

  • Techbros have repeatedly told me you can't steal crypto. You can only legitimately transfer it, since the ledger is immutable.

    Therefore I can only conclude NK earned or was gifted that crypto.

  • Spock was originally going to use hypnosis before NBC's "precautions to avoid hypnotizing a viewer" led to the creation of the Vulcan mind meld

    Jump

  • That might be a later thing? Aluminum dust is what they describe in "The making of Star trek" (a book by Roddenberry and Whitfield, doubt it's still in print though)

  • Spock was originally going to use hypnosis before NBC's "precautions to avoid hypnotizing a viewer" led to the creation of the Vulcan mind meld

    Jump

  • It's a single frame, where they would make a mask of the person and run the same film on that part every single time. The film they used was a slow motion shot of falling metal dust, upside down.

    It probably took minutes to make those shots once they had the stock footage made.

  • Trump urged Ukraine to give up land in 'tense' talks: Kyiv source

    Jump

  • The source added that the talks with Trump were "not easy", and that diplomatic efforts to end the Russia-Ukraine war felt like they were being "dragged out" and "going in circles".

    So, the same as every single time trump says literally anything?

  • Piazza San Carlo, Turin, Italy 🇮🇹. Before/After

    Jump

  • Well, it's less car centric in this specific area.

  • Thanks Reagan, you fuckwit

    Jump

  • Right now, there are none though. And significantly fewer plants too.

  • Germany plans to order 15 more US-made F-35 jets, says source

    Jump

  • It's especially weird seeing how Germany has over a hundred euro fighters with 50 more on order..

  • What was I thinking?

    Jump

  • Cries in failed to connect

  • 66% of Germans oppose benefits for Ukrainian refugees

    Jump

  • 66% of people answering a poll by INSA, who have some serious AFD connections

  • Is it true that progressives are more collectivist rather than individualist?

    Jump

  • No, it's more that making rich people richer isn't a rising tide

  • got this ad and uh

    Jump

  • Yep. Animals are also legally considered property, but at least they have some legal protection. Slaves had basically none.

  • got this ad and uh

    Jump

  • Ding ding ding.

    It's not just a braindead insult, there are at least some actual antisemitic assholes in the pro-palestine group. They're very much a minority, but they exist.

  • They blamed Trump

    Jump

  • What does matter is that 86% of the voters there actively voted FOR this. Realistically, the majority probably didn't care enough to vote against it, but of those that voted, 86% are fine with this happening to them.

  • If you have any questions, get over here.

    Jump

  • As "loo kang", rhymes with "bang"

  • If you have any questions, get over here.

    Jump

  • I mean, it all depends on whether you like being correct, or are following the pronunciation from the 1992 videogame Mortal Kombat.

  • Modern girl got me down bad 🥵

    Jump

  • I can't manage either list. I guess I'd better learn the Charleston or the Zither...

  • Almost 70% of US adults would be deemed obese based on new definition, study finds

    Jump

  • Well, the "healthy at every size" crowd gets their wish, we stop using BMI. Somehow I doubt they're happy though

  • "Monk, Thunk, Drunk, Funk"

    Jump

  • Nonsense. I picked two.

  • What did you get fired for?

    Jump

  • I got modernized out of being a parttime worker at the library, when they switched from barcodes to RFID and they didn't need someone to scan the books anymore.

    Which was kinda sad, because while that was boring, helping people find stuff was great. It's been nearly 20 years and I still can't stand an unalphabetised bookshelf, or one where the spines don't line up.

    Nowadays, I'm a safety consultant, and I get to fire clients. The most fun one was when they copied my signature on a plan that I specifically told them was illegal. I found out when I got a letter saying I committed environmental crimes for agreeing to said plan.
