I set up a media server and started digitizing my media collection. It takes up way too much time, and is a good mix of satisfying and frustrating.

This is cooler than I thought. I was thinking that they would have to do some surgery or dental work but it’s literally a drug given intravenously and then, hopefully, they’ll just grow their missing teeth again. Wild stuff.

They don’t even mention applications for the blind. A tactile display would be game changing.

This article make a big stink about how mentioning that he had genes that showed “very high” scores for a predisposition to autism, schizophrenia and bipolar disorder and how we shouldn’t mention that because it might make people with these disorders feel more Hitlery. It also says he had similar genes for having a micropenis but doesn’t show the same concern for people with this affliction. Well, Lemmy, does this new information make you feel more Hitlery?

I’d say virtually all Hispanic people have some Native American ancestry. The number of Hispanic people living in the Americas with an exclusively European lineage is probably very small. But, that’s just like my opinion, man.

Remember when he had his first meeting with pootin and he made his interpreter give him their notes and then he ate them? Perhaps this tape was discussed.

From the episode King Size Homer if I’m not mistaken. Probably my all time favorite episode.

If a state receives a court order that their maps are illegal, they just have to throw up their hands and pretend there’s no time to change them until the election takes place. Then they can use the illegal maps and face no consequences. This precedent has been set in multiple legislatures controlled by the bastards.

MakeMKV has worked well for me. I was using it on a 10 year old PC until I recently upgraded.

If

If two thirds of all traffic fatalities involved Teslas, would we still let people drive them?

They choose all the cases they want to hear. Why would they choose this one if not to overrule it?

He did seem like the dumbest possible president but wow, we were so wrong.

I recently encountered this song for the first time at the end of an episode of Creature Commandos. It was written near the end of the last Bush administration but it feels more like it was written about our current predicament.

Firewater - ‘Hey Clown’ on YouTube

Imagine the giant trucks road raging because you’re in the left lane and only going +20 the speed limit. Or the old creeps hitting on teenagers.

What if we instead imagine the truck drivers politely asking you to move over? What if the ability to communicate freely with other drivers made the experience closer to walking in a crowd. I’m imagining something that allows all vehicles within a certain radius to hear one another so you can communicate with courtesy. I think a lot of road rage stems from our frustrations with our inability to communicate (and be held accountable) by the people around us.

When did they begin transporting ICE by truck? I thought that was just Proud Boys.

I would threaten to not buy any more Halo games but I haven’t bought one in like a decade so I recognize there’s not much bite there.

I’d say apathy should be interpreted as a vote for the status quo (incumbent) but it’s flatly wrong to call it a vote at all.

Netflix’s Lost in Space.

It seems the only data provided about the demographics and political leanings of the fandom are anecdotal accounts from social media. Do you think it ever occurred to the author that they might just have an algorithm that recognizes their preference for shitty content?

I tried to understand this shape but I was not successful so I will upload it for further analysis when I next regenerate after rejoining the collective.
