hey it says “in” not “up”. Just gotta lay down or maybe go inverted.

it’s a [not obvious I suppose] joke
no, no, I’m certain I’ve seen this dish before. That’s ratatouille!
seriously, though. That looks good.
DOJ wants to get in on some of that hot euro DMA action
your self driving car will just drive itself back to the lot when your payment is late
I don’t disagree with anything you say. I think it’s worth mentioning that the cost of enforcement directly informs the cost of a lease/rental situation. The cheaper they can enforce the contract, the less they can theoretically charge. If they had to get a court order to lock your phone or repo your car, they’d make it more expensive or be much more selective about who they lease/rent to. This maybe enables more people to have phones or get cars?
I swear I’m not rooting for team “aggressive manipulative business behavior widens opportunities for the less well off”. Gross. Kind of how I hear about globalization of manufacturing stuff - “they get paid pennies!” “yeah, but that’s more than before the factory came? look what they can buy now” I know that’s a overly broad generalization but you see those arguments.
Just don’t build a house of neutron-reflective tungsten carbine bricks around it or cowboy the beryllium hemispheres, hell, maybe just trust the last guys’ calculations instead of testing for closeness to criticality. Safe as houses.
… But it was the organizers self censoring their entrants based on just the idea that the Chinese govt would take interest in/offense to some of the stories from what I can read. Haven’t seen any reporting suggesting the Chinese govt was actually involved at all. My thought is, why would the organizers hold the event in China if it was going to cause them to act the fool like this?
That was bad but at least short. I can’t ever hear “we’re going on an adventure” again without flashing back to that nightmare of a sequence of events.
Maybe don’t hold it in China again if they’re so worried about this sort of thing? They didn’t think that through did they? You think they might with, you know, science fiction often commenting on real life things through speculative analogues. They cowardly caved to just the idea of repercussions. Nothing in the article says the committee was actually under pressure from anyone to do what they did. Weak!
rehash of this older New Yorker cartoon? there I go writing B.C. on my checks again
He couldn’t even stand there without being pushed off and it looks like he had regular shoes rather than clip in ones. I don’t think different tires would be any different. Probably a nice slick layer of algae on there.
Good linking. The book says it’s for a quarter acre, not a tenth. This was on reddit the other day (and it’s credited as such). Exact same wording and everything.
