Unless I’m thinking of something else, I’m pretty sure I had a tank tread “robot” set with a module that you could program really commands into, and then have them execute them in series.

Go forward, turn right move backward twice, make a bunch of funny sounds and blink some lights, etc.

That set was cool as shit.

If you are buying used datacenter drives, larger capacity drives are also likely to be newer, which tips the scales a little more in that direction.

Misgender them once and see how fast they decide pronouns are important after all.

And perhaps moreso when it comes to a musical instrument, what out senses perceive is more important than what one may note on an o-scope.

I watched the OG Jurassic Park the other weekend, and realized I haven’t thought about a triceratops in probably a decade at least.

Just got this email notification and was about to post it myself!

I was expecting it to be a clickbaity joke, but nope it’s just another case of big companies doing asshole big company stuff because it’s cheaper than doing the right thing. And, surprise surprise, facilitated by at least one local politician who profited off the assholery. https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/spacex-texas-musk/

I mean, being strictly pedantic, the sperm has to come from somewhere. So I guess it depends on whether you consider an orgasm in a strange room with a small rack of nudie mags to be “sexual gratification”.

Nostalgia hit, right in the gut!

Seconding Plex / Plexamp if the use case involves streaming remotely. Probably the easiest to get up and running for remote access.

I’m not sure about the capabilities of hosting on a Pi, but it should be straightforward to run a couple different apps in parallel to test and compare features (I’m currently doing exactly that with Plex and Jellyfin)

I’m pretry much on board for replacing *ist/*phobic with just plain weird now. Enough of them seem to equate being called racist/sexist/transphobic or whatever with eliciting anger, which is what they thrive on.

There’s still a time and place for the specific (and accurate) labels, but many of these clowns are just sad and, well, weird attention-seekers.

You may be right. I really hate that it’s so hard to tell sometimes.

I am genuinely interested in the line of logic that links “About to become leader of the free world” with "dated Montel Williams in 2001’.

That tweet is so on the nose, if I had read it in isolation, I would have assumed it was someone being ironic or trolling the racists.

The curry bit is stupid (because curry is delicious and smells good), but I could 100% see an Indian comic using the lines about speeches being facilitated by call center and customer satisfaction surveys as part of their set, because the mental image is honestly kind of funny.

For $700 they could at least throw in a 4k Blu-ray player.

Then again, I ponied up extra for the disc version of the original ps5 for that exact reason, only to find out the media player software is a giant piece of garbage that was clearly given no effort. So I can’t say I’m too surprised.

American here. I’m choosing to believe that this is just a normal, everyday amount of poop-related slang for the UK, and that you’re not playing it up for comedic effect.

The names of the “similar” rides… LOL

Is this literally a petrochemical plant themed water park?

Came into the comments to read about petting baby cows. Left feeling icky. ☹️

Maybe its just cause I’m high, but baby cows are frickin adorable, and now I’m thinking about finding a rancher friend.

(what most people incorrectly call casserole)

Threadbare Merkin would be an excellent band name!

Anyone else do a double-take at that thumbnail while quickly scrolling?

Alrighty then, carry on
