It’s four wheel drive not four wheel stop.

Bahahahaha

In the “Three body problem” one of the main themes is an alien invasion and threat to the entire planet earth. As part of humanities plan to come up with solutions is the idea that any person or company found to be working on any technologies or plans to escape this planet is commiting a crime against the entirety of humanity and are charged accordingly. With the idea being that any effort going towards escape takes away from humanities effort to combat the threat.

Anyways since I read that I’ve wondered what it would be like if we treated the threat of climate change that way.

I load and run two large fiber lasers cutting sheets of metal up to 1 1/4 inch thick.

Your opinion on who you are voting for in an election for which you can’t vote isnt needed.

Well I was going to write about how not participating doesnt automatically absolve you of the responsibility of your actions, but according to another one of your comments you don’t even live in America. So kindly, take your opinions and keep them to yourself while those who do live in the place we are having a conversation about try to make something of the terrible situation we are in.

I’m sure the affected peoples will thank you for taking a hard stance by checks notes not doing anything.

Fuck, I’ll give 'em $2.

I’ll just go ahead and copy a previous comment I made for this one, because as always a lot of people don’t feel like reading the article.

"Painting was behind glass, the point is that in a climate change hellscape all this precious art is in danger. If all the people who read about a painting they’ve never heard of before get angry about “paint being thrown at it” they’ll really hate what’ll happen with extreme weather in a climate disaster. "

These activists have some weird ideas sometimes, but this isn’t really one of them. If you read the article they all acknowledge that what they did they aren’t somehow entitled to do, and that they will probably go to jail for it as well. The entire point as with all protest is to shove it in the face of all the people that ignore this issue on a daily basis.

Oil companies are doing the same thing to all precious art and nature and all the things you love, so where is the accountability for them?

TL;DR these people are annoying, and that’s the fucking point.

Stop I can only get so excited for an album that doesn’t exist!

All toy guns in the US have an orange tip, you can see this one just in shadow on the end. That doesn’t mean there haven’t been problems with what you are imagining in the past though, not smart to point it at anyone.

Fucking, what?

No, we have rules on fair use and derivative works. Sometimes they fall on one side, sometimes another.

My job dupes me into coming in every night by uploading some wacky numbers to my bank account every two weeks. I fall for it every time.

Advice is doctor

Yes! I knew it had to be mustard, didn’t think to check his nebula thank you!

This was a project by the soviets in the 80s as well. I know there is a well produced YouTube video on the subject, but sadly it must be named something incomprehensible like “the forgotten Russian project to turn night into day.” Because I can’t fucking find it.

Here’s a Smithsonian article instead. here

Got an 18tb from serverpartdeals for 160 I think.

The politics are shit but hot damn is it cheap.

If we are accepting non-dinosaur but ancient creatures, my favorite is the anomalocaris :) it’s just a goofy lil guy with a mouth snoot. Plus, they never say no to a snack. (They’re at the end.)
