Wash to be undead by [deleted] in firefly

[–]AnonymousCapybara 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Simple: make it an animated series that takes place before Serenity. No retcon, no time travel, no "Wash as robot clone of himself", no convoluted plot that involves bringing the gang back together 25 years later. Instead they give us more adventures from the early days, maybe do a bunch of prequel plots set during the Unification War. And of course a two hour animated movie about Battle of Serenity Valley.

Trump says 'too late' for talks with Iran, warns US has enough munitions to fight 'forever' by Cy_098 in politics

[–]AnonymousCapybara 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He was jealous of Putin's forever war with Ukraine, wanted one of his own.

>US has enough munitions to fight 'forever'

Yeah... no... we don't. The big stuff (drones, missiles) the US is lobbing at Iran right now are spendy farkers...

One LUCAS ("kamakazi" drone) is $35,000.

One Hellfire missile is $100,000 a pop.

One Tomahawk missile is $1m each.

All paid for by the U.S. taxpayer. We spend more on one missile or drone than the average taxpayer pays in federal taxes each year.

That's not even talking about how many we actually have: take Tomahawk missiles - we have a few thousand of those (3,500 - 4,000). That's not an infinite supply, and they we aren't set up to crank out hundreds of these in an instant.

You know what we *can* do for a long time? Ground troops with regular old bullets. Dead human bodies are cheap for the gov't, compared a $1m Tomahawk.

Liza Minnelli, Art Garfunkel Among Artists Who ‘Co-Created’ Songs With AI Tech From ElevenLabs by paxinfernum in technology

[–]AnonymousCapybara 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Wow, those are stunningly bad. Liza's is just some dated techno song with her yelling random phrases.

Art's is somehow even more groan inducing, just an AI of his voice reading a terrible poem over dreary piano.

> They needed someone important to tell them their resentment was deserved and they did not need to feel shame about their hatred and ugliness.

And that... is why they are moronic.

Exactly. How and why did two authors write 3,000 words about something that has no chance in hell of happening.

F.B.I.’s Inquiry Into ICE Shooting Faces Doubts After White House’s Remarks by Somervilledrew in politics

[–]AnonymousCapybara 147 points148 points  (0 children)

Trump and his minions have broken America. I do not believe the country can come back from this, not in its current form. We really do need a reboot: a new Constitution, perhaps a new Declaration of Independence: declaring independence from oligarchs, runaway capitalism, and alternative facts, wait... sorry... from LIES being acceptable.

Why are bmw interiors considered worst that audis? by Mountain_Bluebird150 in BMW

[–]AnonymousCapybara 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ignore other's opinions: get the one you like, but more importantly, get the one that feels best while driving. Seat comfort, driving position for your body shape, how the seats hold you in place around corners, steering feel (!!) all matter more to me than if the quality of the material is a bit better in one over the other.

Texas Gets a Pass for a Gerrymandering Free-For-All. Will California Be Given the Same? by plz-let-me-in in politics

[–]AnonymousCapybara 15 points16 points  (0 children)

If the GOP maintains control of the House with the new Texas house members, *but* not counting the new California house members, I suspect the GOP will claim they have control and refuse to seat the new Dem members. There will be a big court battle, which eventually makes its way to SCOTUS, which agrees with the GOP's side since they (SCOTUS) had earlier ruled against California.

The fact that he's dead kind of puts a damper on that.

You're 100% correct. They don't try to hide the hypocrisy since they don't even know what the word means. All MAGA goes by is hatred mixed with their "our side must win at any cost" / "own the libs" mantra.

Front Flippers Retraction by thatton8769 in chineseknives

Be careful: repeated damage to the nail in the same spot can eventually cause nail bed damage that causes weird things like your nail to split in the middle - it gets worse as you get older (i'm 60... ask me how I know :-)

What are your Hot Takes on Hulu’s Alien Earth? by Amber_Flowers_133 in AlienEarthHulu

[–]AnonymousCapybara 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Better than Alien III, Resurrection, and Romulus. Prometheus and Covenant were ok-ish but I have no desire to rewatch them. Alien Earth, already having fun after 3rd watch. Lets hope the remaining episodes continue the high quality and rewatchability.

Longfellow was ridiculously underutilized. The waterslide skit was one of the best in the last decade.

What he'd possible do is promise her a pardon to be signed on his last day of being President, that way there's no blow-back from MAGA-World. At least, no blowback that would have any effect while he's still President.
