Then they can enjoy unemployment. Fuck 'em.

I’m sad that the relevant xkcd is kinda obsolete now (because it’s been long enough for that research team to finish doing its thing).

Then it’ll be easy to tell which cops need to be immediately fired for cause. If trump can purge the military, mayors can purge the police.

A Mercury Grand Marquis, I think.

What’s more interesting was how I learned to drive stick, which was buying a brand new Hyundai Accent with almost zero prior practice (basically just test-driving it and a couple of other cars I’d considered), then driving it home in stop-and-go rush hour traffic. I barely stalled it at all, LOL.

(I didn’t have anybody to instruct me, either: my mom never learned to drive stick and my dad hadn’t done so in decades. I was just really motivated because it was more fun, so I did a bunch of reading beforehand and taught myself.)

Or better yet, heavy rail (i.e. a proper subway, not just a streetcar).

4chan has been at the center of this shit all along.

I’ve heard it claimed that motherboards are much more likely to go bad than other components, so there’s a legitimate market for new motherboards on obsolete platforms, to be used with secondhand CPUs (and presumably, secondhand RAM). I think that sort of thing is especially popular in developing countries that have less access to top-of-the-line stuff and/or where it costs a much higher percentage of the average income.

For example, looking at Aliexpress, I’m seeing brand-new motherboards like this for about $40 and this for about $30 designed to be used with old Xeons that you can also get from the same site for like $10 or less. (The second board is a better example than the first, because it’s DDR3 whereas the first is DDR4.)

I just bought 16Gb of DDR3L laptop memory for a low-power NAS I’m building, and even that cost almost 40 bucks.

Better yet, market it as patent medicine.

If that’s what you get for peacefully protesting, you might as well just go full eco-terrorist instead.

Three posts away in my feed, a thread about the Pentagon demanding the AI provider for the military to remove safeguards.

I suppose there’s no reason it couldn’t show both, or let you toggle, or even provide a built-in screenshotting function that includes an absolute timestamp even while the normal UI displays relative time.

That reminds me: we should demand Fediverse stuff display proper timestamps. Even now, your comment is showing as “41m [ago]” for me viewing it in Voyager, which is just being part of the problem for no good reason.

In Atlanta, this happened in several places:

• Sweet Auburn, including the “richest Negro street in the world” at the time, was bisected to build the Downtown Connector.
• Lightning was bulldozed to build the Georgia World Congress Center and the Georgia Dome.
• Buttermilk Bottom was bulldozed to build the Civic Center.

(To be fair, Atlanta also razed at least one white neighborhood, too. Copenhill was destroyed to make room for the I-485/GA 400 interchange, which was never built due to the Freeway Revolts and eventually became Freedom Parkway and the Carter Center instead.)

“Urban renewal”

Cardboard box.

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.)

“Blockaid” is what it does. “Blockade” is what it is.

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.
