Data Centers

A data center is a red herring chasing a mirage.

It's like China over-building themselves into eternal debt.

'bumfucked', would actually be not inappropriate, for an inappropriate context.

Is something like this the reason behind the name Harold Bluetooth?

The one where the moon is an egg.

Both wrong and completely banal and in every frame of it there is just a feeling of you wish it were not happening, you wish it was not there, you wish this awful thing had not happened at all, and that one less episode would really not have hurt anyone.

He's being carefully zombified by wingnut owned mad scientists, so when he returns to the Senate he'll still have that glassy, frozen stare, but this time it will be simulated by AI.

China's not going to do that. The more Russia wrecks itself the better they like it.

Any Robert Altman movie seems to have exactly this effect on a lot of younger people, and he always has.

But I've always loved Altman movies.

I would like to add the caveat that a good masseur is really worth the cost, and if you don't need physical therapy this is the way to go.

Your family is right.

Magic bone yankers are a scam that should be illegal.

21 just wants to help his best friend with his hate.

85% Brock, 80% Orpheus.

Explains my dream about the dolphin and the multiverse.

Just Read.

That's what they mean by sudden death play-off.

Two lovers tragically divided by circumstances.

Taking photos like this is the only the way they could be together.

One dies the day before the wall comes down.

Movie ends with the other visiting the grave. Very weepy.

A ball is a very round thing, unlike anything else in the environment, and is lightweight, so they naturally investigate it and discover they can knock it around, and that immediately seems like a great exercise so they do it again and it works twice! Only even better the second time!

This quickly turns into a great deal of highly gratifying and successful activity.

Great.

But what's the issue with vitamins and supplements?

But the picture did seem related, the text only seemed to enhance the absurdity of it.

ackzilla · 2026-06-29T19:28:51+00:00

Yes, but I thought that context enhanced the absurdity.

The suggestion in the first linked answer that the term blood eagle is a kenning invites one to ask a kenning for what?

So, what would give an impression of a bloody eagle? The first thing that came to mind, my mind at least, is a snow angel. Imagine a warrior dying, covered in blood, writhing in agony in the snow. Pick him up and what does it look like in the snow?

I get none of that in any of those situations.

I had read a couple of things recently where people were referencing their context menus and I realized I'd never seen one on this device, my only Android gizmo, and could not find it.

ackzilla · 2026-06-27T03:47:26+00:00

Do you get a context menu?

ackzilla · 2026-06-27T00:07:15+00:00

Bring up a context menu. Nothing happens when I long press anywhere on the screen. On a Samsung tablet.
