  • I swear, these are every bit as dumb as maga’s conspiracy theories. If that’s where they wanted the flag for the picture, why didn’t they just start with the flag there? Why lower it just in time? Was the Qanon flag lowering operator on the radio with the photographer coordinating the position and timing? Or, just maybe, big-ass flags that are suspended from cranes by only the top two corners just kind of move up and down in the wind.

    Do you really believe that the same stupid motherfuckers who ended up having a press conference at Four Seasons Total Landscaping were capable of staging an assassination attempt where two other people actually died and the only gap in their performance was a ham-fisted flag maneuver for the photo op?

  • A few years ago? That looks like 2005

  • Yeah, I don’t get the “just install every update when it comes out” / “ just comply, bro” attitudes. My PC is now incapable of S3/S4 sleep without crashing thanks to a windows update a few days ago. Absolutely no way microslop gets the benefit of the doubt on anything.

  • This one looks cool, and I think that’s its biggest problem. It’s clearly a massive, man-made structure with no obvious purpose, yet with striking visual impact. To the hypothetical future civilization that is unaware of the dangerous nuclear waste, it basically begs to be investigated.

  • The ™ might as well be a /s

  • That’s just because you’re in the pocket of Big Boob.

  • That would be great for the stuff that has been digitized. A lot of the historic content they’re referring to could very well still be on film or obsolete tape formats that require specialized equipment to play back. With the dwindling funding they’ve had, it’s anyone’s guess how much they’ve been able to transfer to digital formats by now.

  • That usage always bugs the shit out of me, to the point that I had to refer back to English classes to figure out why. It is an adjective, but it is not a predicate adjective like it’s used here. It is an attributive adjective and has to be used in conjunction with the noun that it’s modifying.

    “She made good aesthetic choices.” -Yes

    “These flowers are aesthetic.” -No

  • Alan Dye, Apple’s vice president of Human Interface Design since 2015

    Yeah, that tracks. So much about iOS UI/UX has gotten worse in that time, mostly by trying to “fix” things that worked just fine as they were.

  • Yeah, I dunno what to say besides that it happened to me twice. Probably close to 25 years ago while upgrading my 12GB HDD to a 80GB Seagate Barracuda, I decided to try running both drives together for a whopping 92GB of storage. Whatever jumper combination I tried first ended up with one of the drives not being recognized, so I tried another combination, either both master or both slave, and the control board on the 12GB drive let out the smoke and that drive was never able to be recognized again. I don’t remember exactly what happened the second time, but I know it happened twice because I felt really stupid about not learning my lesson from the first time. Not saying there couldn’t have been something else going on, but they had keyed IDE headers that couldn’t have been reversed and no other issues until I tried the incompatible jumper combination.

  • The last time I watched a 60 Minutes segment, it was hosted by Andy Rooney. But now I’ve seen this one and I think a lot of other people will too. Better still, they’ll see it contextualized as something the government didn’t want them to see. Thanks, Streisand Effect!

  • And if you tried to run more than one HDD and got those jumpers wrong, it would let the magic smoke out of one of your drives.

  • And yet, that explains absolutely nothing about the relevance of Pearl Harbor to this situation, which is what this particular thread of the discussion was related to. Thanks for the downvote anyway, though.

  • No, the sign makes sense and highlights the main reason the Serbs are so opposed to the hotel. The proposed site was a historical building that was bombed by NATO during the war for Kosovo’s independence. Serbs pretty universally see those events as “American” bombings and often cite them as cause to despise the US. So, the sign is pointing out the insensitivity of an American developer building a hotel in that location by comparing it to a Japanese developer building a hotel in Pearl Harbor.

    Given how deeply Serbia is within the sphere of Russian influence, I doubt they care one way or the other that it’s affiliated with Jared Kushner, they just don’t like that it would have been owned by an American.

  • Yup, I’m super tempted to start stocking up on cheap VR games in anticipation for the Frame, but I need to see the final price and be 100% sure I’m going for it before I commit to games that I can’t otherwise play.

  • Reset to 2016? We should be so lucky. I’ll be amazed if they have the political will to even reset back to 2024 and undo the damage that has been inflicted just this year alone.
