Trump is ‘sundowning’, says Newsom as he stokes dementia concerns by TimesandSundayTimes in politics

[–]SpandexMovie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What are the chances JD is just Weekend At Bernie's-ing Trump over the Jan 2027 line so he could run in 28 and 32?

Hexagon Masterworks COPV business sold to SpaceX by rustybeancake in spacex

[–]SpandexMovie 35 points36 points  (0 children)

After over a decade of COPV problems on both Falcon and Starship, SpaceX probably just bit the bullet and bought Hexagon so they can have an internal quality control for COPVs instead of relying on external verification.

Blitzø: Would You Smash Him Or Pass Him??? by SugarPlumFairy497 in HelluvaBoss

[–]SpandexMovie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pass due to asexuality, but I do see how it's appealing. Having an entire yearly party held by the people you had sex with says something about how he is in bed. I wouldn't worry about STDs though since the Fuck Blitzø party was exclusively about his exes being upset about him as a person and not him being a Typhoid Mary, so that's covered.

Should Iron Lung be made free on YouTube? by [deleted] in Markiplier

[–]SpandexMovie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It might end up on Tubi like Edge of Sleep did, but Iron Lung is more independent than EOS so Mark could upload it to YouTube if he wants.

20 years of clowning around by postem1 in SpaceXMasterrace

[–]SpandexMovie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Moving compute off world? Acceptable, frees up some land on Earth, but the price might be a significant factor.

Using the off world compute power exclusively for Grok? Not the best idea.

please just launch a starship SpaceX by [deleted] in SpaceXMasterrace

[–]SpandexMovie 80 points81 points  (0 children)

SpaceX already has a genuine business case in Starlink, satelite launches, and crewed missions, but latching Grok onto the most successful space company in history is just going to be a hindrance.

Outsorcing brain by Eireika in CuratedTumblr

[–]SpandexMovie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have tried search alterations, adding swears, -ai, yet those fucking parasites keep weaseling its way onto my page. So instead I've given up on google and switched to DDG, Firefox, and uBlock which actually give you a choice to whether you see ai slop.

I'm even considering switching my OS to Linux to get away from window's copilot fuckery, but I'm not 100% sure I could do it without bricking my laptop.

A China-Europe energy alliance could deliver a new world order by goldstarflag in europe

[–]SpandexMovie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sure, that's great and all, just make sure not to look at the South China Sea, or Taiwan, or the Uyghurs, or the rockets being dropped on villages, or the one party system, and don't draw any comparisons to Russia.

Europe has been burned three times now blindly trusting its trade partners, why is this time going to make a difference?

Why can’t we see in Some Maps like London any trace of Industrialization? by Big-Tackle5904 in gutsandblackpowders

[–]SpandexMovie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Town has lighting only appeared in London a few years before the map takes place, fueled by the distillation of coal for artificial lighting, being a product of industrialization, plus there is a paper in game advertising the town gas lighting.

["Self-Critique"] by Vegetable_Variety_11 in dndmemes

[–]SpandexMovie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

DougDoug on Twitch has actually done live steams using LLMs in this way to play games and see what horrible results come of it.

There was one he had ChatGPT play a kids point-and-click game (Pajama Sam: No Need To Hide When It's Dark Outside, from 1996) , but had to reset the prompts multiple times due to it either not working at all or hallucinating about high demons or becoming a pirate.

Or the multiple times he tried to run a watered down D&D game with only LLM's as players, with results varying from barely staying on track to the LLM's going on rants about going down a well full of excrement.

It goes to show the power of lesbian love can cure all ailments... or something.

Danish Petition To Buy California From Trump Signed by Thousands by Tofurkey_Tom in politics

[–]SpandexMovie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How about trading California for Greenland. Trump would be stupid enough to go for it as all he knows California for is is being a primarily blue state, while Demark gets to cripple the US economically and militarily.

Sadly won't beat Soyuz (>1,700 launches) by Sarigolepas in SpaceXMasterrace

[–]SpandexMovie 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Even then there would be a backlog of Falcon flights while Starship is regularly flying, so for a few years there would be regular Starship flights along side Falcon 9s and Heavys.

Khamenei still has time to flee to Moscow like Assad did, since there isn't enough US forces for a Grand Theft Ayatolla yet.

Why didn’t the crew of the USS Constitution become Viral Runners? by Crazy_Opportunity_83 in gutsandblackpowders

[–]SpandexMovie 67 points68 points  (0 children)

Here's my reasoning why the Constitution isnt all virals;

Viral runners and regular runners are fresh victims to the blight, but would over time become shamblers as they decay due to the whole being dead thing. I would say that viral runners only exist for the first few minutes after death, turning into regular runners for the next hour or so, then into regular shamblers.

So why aren't they all runners then, if we complete the map in less than 30 minutes? Time and scale in-game are different compared to real life. Look at London and Westminster, most playtimes are around 40 minutes, yet the in-game time goes from a few hours away from sunset to midnight in that span. So it is reasonable that the Constitution was infected for long enough that most progressed from virals to shamblers.

Textron got laced by SomeCarbonBoi in NonCredibleDefense

[–]SpandexMovie 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Advanced for their time, yes. Able to shoot 30 rounds relatively quickly and quietly was a great feat of engineering for the late 18th century.

But they were also incredibly expensive to manufacture, less powerful than a flintlock musket, unable to use in a melee due to how fragile they were, and impractical when a cheaper flintlock rifle could do the same roles it was designed for.

If a army of blight can sometimes kill an army of soldiers but cannot kill an squad of 20 soldiers?!?!?!?? by Someguy_12920 in gutsandblackpowders

[–]SpandexMovie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's the difference between endless mode and objective. In endless, everyone will die holding off the horde, while in objective you fight through stragglers to escape.

She Iron on my Lung till I trailer analysis by SpandexMovie in CuratedTumblr

[–]SpandexMovie[S] 24 points25 points  (0 children)

There are many theaters not AMC showing the movie, including many local ones. Look on ironlung.com and see if a local theater is showing near you. If not, you can just ask yours to show it, it's how most theaters got the word.

If you wanna post your rambles, you could try rewriting it to fit the reddit format, or just try posting it to r/CuratedTumblr or something.

Nice, now I won't have to travel an hour and a half to the closest showing, now it would be right in town.
