It pains me to admit it, but the only reason I need 64gb of RAM in my PC is to keep 300 browser tabs open while I play Borderlands4 at 5260x1440p. At this point, I really should just get my tabs under control and sell 32gb 😆

Well, i did it. I bought digital copies of "Car Wars" counters, gonna get them printed, and then teach 9 year old Sparkplug to play so we can have an Autoduel event at the @extralife4kids.bsky.social gameathon Nov.7. We game for CHEO, donations welcome. dd.extra-life.org/participants...

That. It's either a tool or a solution. And it ain't a solution, never has been. And this doesn't have to be about AI either. But it can definitely apply.

Also, Yuki Tsunoda having more points as a back-up driver than Lance Stroll as a full-time driver (and Stroll with 10 DNF in 17 races) never ceases to amuse me.

Cage is a lunatic, but i live that he continues to be on the right side of the insist - not just this, but in taking EVERY role.

Nic Cage:

I swear Ferrari are actively trying to prevent Hamilton's success.

This is horrific. But not surprising. The only thing that's surprising to me is that it's not pay-per-view.

America is great because America is good. As a prosecutor and an American, I am horrified by Pete Hegseth’s plan to livestream an execution. What Nidal Hasan did is unforgivable. But we must have justice without sinking to the lows of dictatorships and terrorist regimes.

Seriously, I can't stop laughing "George Russell 40 place grid penalty" 😆 🤣

I mean... look at it? That's two lanes each direction, plus center/yellow/divider, plus turning lanes. How are we surprised that if you make it quack like a highway, people assume it's a highway, rather than a road? Especially when you, and here's the kicker, CALL IT A HIGHWAY.

Speed camera shocker: 100,000 violators seen in nine days on Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu

I was never able to settle down. Columbia House was always out there, hunting me, hunting what I owed.

I remember when Illinois police hated Illinois nazis.

A few IL State Police with clubs out, held horizontal, just came on scene

This is the way.

This is literally the difference between Saruman and Gandalf. Tolkien is very clear about the necessity to go out into the world and yap with strangers, preferably while smoking and drinking.

People and agencies opting for "super intelligence" in common parlance is a very useful tell for their propensity to comply in advance. It's not more accurate, easier to say, more useful, or more descriptive. It's just an authoritarian attempt to see what they can get away with linguistically.

And the kiddo is at cub camp this weekend...

Need something to play this weekend? Here's a selection of indie games we've been into lately: 🧵

As someone who has recently gone from gas (a v8 truck, no less) to an EV, beverage is great, but utilization, ie, charging infrastructure, is beyond lacking. I have more thoughts on this, but they need organizing first.

Canada’s Low Electrification Rate Threatens Its Future Prosperity Canada = 18% France = 26% Japan = 30.5% Brazil = 25% Turkey = 24% Indonesia: 19.6% If the future is electric, Canada is not highly electrified...or likely to be by 2050. #cdnpoli energi.media/markham-on-e...

Double Fine's decision to cast Erika Ishii has sparked harassment and abuse online, prompting the studio to shut down replies.

In seven weeks, I will run a team for ExtraLife (Benefiting the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario) for the fifteenth year. If you can spare a couple bucks in donations if you are in the Ottawa/Eastern Ontario region, it helps a lot! dd.extra-life.org/participants...

It appears my new tattoo order is: - godzilla (either reflected in the lens of a 35mm camera, or in prints in front of a 35mm camera) - the black rabbit of Inle - Robotech/ mospeada bike Dammit. I gotta make some appointments.

Angus the 🏴✡@angusthejew.bsky.social · 8mo ago

Watership Down is a favorite in our house, so much so, when my oldest turned 18 they went out and got the shadow/death rabbit tattooed on them.

If you've never read "Watership Down" today is the day to correct that situation.

All the world will be your enemy, Prince With A Thousand Enemies, and whenever they catch you, they will kill you. But first, they must catch you, Digger, Listener, Runner, Prince With the Swift Warning. Be cunning and full of tricks, and your people shall never be destroyed.

I'd never heard of this band but I'm immediately here for it. (First track i hear is "pity the weak")

Mike 🍁@thewarrenisempty.bsky.social · last yr.

Are you familiar with the band Fall of Efrafa?

Why am I paying a "convenience fee" on something that isn't convenient, and has no other option for payment?

I'm also not mad that HP is getting its reboot-lunch-eaten by Dungeon Crawler Carl finally absolutely exploding into pop culture (although it's by no means YA coming of age UNLESS you consider Princess Donut). Fuck JKR, btw. Just in case we weren't sure.

i did a meme

Hahaha they BOO'd George Russell on the podium? Ouuucchhhhh.

LeClerc is so good at fucking up Ferrari 's chances of doing well - knocking Hamilton down to 8th, and then crashing out 10 corners later is classic Charles "Choke under pressure" LeClerc.

(Same story but pic) once hit a suddenly thrown-open BMW coupe door doing nearly 40kmh downhill (on a bicycle) - got sideways enough to put my shoulder into it, and bent it so far back it broke the front headlight off the car it was on. THIS door would have decapitated me, in the same situation.

This feels like a bad idea for traffic

Whoever decided to promote Coyote vs Acme by letting Wile E do an AMA using only signs deserves all the praise.

Oh, I'm looking forward to reading this.

Honestly, I chose to believe that this onslaught of advertising is because they're about to take a bath on it.
