they would just say “LOL NICE DIGITAL WINDOWS, THIS SHIT AINT REAL!!!1111ONEONEONE”.

“I’ll just open up this fake airlock door now.”

Besides the Covid vaccine, I also have consumed some dihydrogen monoxide. Shit.

Donald Trump doesn’t know how to operate a website

“Someone told me I need pipes for the website. We need to get the best pipes. Do they come in gold plate?”

But someone recently said he revived the NFT market single-handedly, with people making a bigly 1000% return!

Besides the earthquake, there was also a literal rain of fire across the planet, like a blast furnace, that likely killed everything that wasn’t underground or underwater.

Instead of drilling a hole, another way to do it is to slam an asteroid on the other side of the planet.

The loophole seems to be having an app pinned to the screen (I’ve never done this, but it presumably keeps the phone from locking) while requiring you to have an unlocked phone to use NFC payments. This doesn’t seem to be a common scenario (I can imagine doing this in some sort of kiosk mode, or giving the phone to a kid and locking the app so he can’t wander around).

Maybe all his companies are like this, it’s just the first one that’s been so public and shown his true colours.

I’m not going to look for it now, but there was a Twitter thread from last year that kind of talks about this.

Basically, SpaceX and Tesla are companies that grew up with Elon as an early investor, and have learned early on how to contain him. They institutionally have firewalls in place to keep him from wrecking the real work they’re doing, like dedicated Musk-handlers that slow walk his bad ideas until he changes his mind a few days later.

Twitter basically had none of those institutional firewalls, and could not container him with company culture.

Meanwhile, you have the Elon fanboys still pretending Twitter is doing better than it ever has.

Well, it is, if you’re a Nazi.

To be fair, those are Mission Impossible chase scenes really disrupt traffic.

Making the pee more expensive, yes.

Ah, yes, Little Bobby DROP TABLES;

As a former sysadmin who hopped around to different machines to do stuff, I would hate it when I had to type on some developers’ computers, because they had set it up as Dvorak (vi on Dvorak is a special hell). Yes, it’s a more efficient keyboard as long as that’s the only machine you’re on. If you have to use different machines where most of the users are on QWERTY, you just use QWERTY.

Should that not be properly, “Oi, cunt!” ?

“OK, how can we make a web interface more difficult to use?”

Putin:

I thought I had him in a box.

And then he got out like a fox.

And then I saw him in a house.

And I then he went to Belarus.

So I will track him here and there.

Say! I can track him anywhere!

I do not like this Wagner man!

Thank you! Thank you, SAM-I-Am.

I need to point out that “aliens communicating in memes” was done by ST:TNG, in the Darmok episode.

Alien: “Shaka, when the walls fell” (essentially Disappointed Guy meme)

Picard: …

IIRC, the Soviets placed their primary artillery school and tank factories in Ukraine. As a percentage of the USSR’s military base, the Ukrainians were well above average.

Remember that the USSR included not just Russians but Ukrainians.

I find this hypothetical posed by this social media user to be poorly phrased, somewhat irksome and deficient in interpersonal empathy. I will use my considerably greater mental resources to consider why this user felt obliged too ask this hypothetical, and provide a suitable answer.
