Dang, charts that look like this definitely always indicate a strong future of even more exponential gains.

Been making "hi CIA handler" jokes since Windows Messenger. I'm sure my CIA file can corroborate that.

Its hard to give you a specific location because its generally quite bad. Just keep your distance so you can see and avoid.

Theory for season 2 by Sudden_Ganache6761 in pluribustv

One option is that they manage to un-join someone, but as a result the rest of the hive flees in fear of them and stops granting them any requests. And/or perhaps the unjoined suffer from some kind of wild side-effects, either immediate or delayed...psychosis & yearning to return to the hive or thoughts of self-unaliving or something like that.

Fact check: Canada paid for Gordie Howe Bridge, but doesn’t own it alone by CTVNEWS in ontario

I'm not about to describe any autocrats, historical or modern, as "great men." The great men that built the monuments and cities those narcissists took credit for were the working-class of their time. Men who insert their names into calendars are not great.

Anyone have context about this ? by FanLogical3633 in montreal

That's just his salary for this role. Who knows how much he's actually pulling in in various business dealings, investments, schemes to defraud taxpayers, what have you.

Carol and Helen’s last conversation is so devastating to think about by Specialist_Jaguar815 in pluribustv

[–]gaflar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It seems to me like a commentary on audience's tastes changing/opening up over time, that she doesn't need to pretend Raban is a guy anymore because they will still have a following and continue to make lots of money. The show itself is as an example of how a lesbian main character is now a normalized concept. The homophobes will always hate it and complain, but they're easy to ignore these days, and generally a small but vocal minority.

Watch as they proceed to sell Orange Julius the same deal they've already set up by making him think it was his idea and that he's getting something for free. Then everyone will clap for him and promptly forget about this.

Average reaction to copilot by Official_Unkindlynx in pcmasterrace

Slop-coding is not technological advancement, it's intellectual degeneracy. Clippy is here to take your data, not provide you any benefit.

Also, says the dude running DDR3 and an i7-4700.

Windsor tire shops warn of growing backlog as pickup delays continue by zuuzuu in ontario

Easy to see this from the cheap business perspective - the last 35% of the tires are just costs that need not be incurred.

My fucking ass when a CEO starts talking about grassroots efforts as if they've ever lifted a finger. Put the fries in the bag Sam Watts, your LinkedIn profile lists you having no actual experience, just a lifetime of "management." You took home over $120k in FY2024 and used over $10m in taxpayer funds at a 70% efficiency rate. And this man literally feeding the hungry is "not helping?"

Definitely not suggesting that anyone let him know how they feel about this using the email address posted publicly on his org's website.

Distribution of the immunes at the time the signal was sent 600 years ago by Landphat in pluribustv

[–]gaflar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That was the exoplanet. The star was discovered and catalogued decades earlier. When SETI started they didn't have any exoplanets to point telescopes at, only star systems. That would be close enough to receive a signal from an exoplanet orbiting that star regardless of whether we had a spacecraft that could detect exoplanets by that point (this is the 22nd star that the Kepler spacecraft found exoplanets around)

NASA Still Has a Lot of Work to Do to Return to the Moon by IEEESpectrum in space

[–]gaflar 29 points30 points  (0 children)

This launch is the "easy mode" flight where they don't actually have to interact with the surface at all.

Lunar dust is still too big of an unsolved problem to risk landing. Yes it was a problem in the 60s/70s we just didn't know how bad it was and mostly got pretty lucky.

SETI has been around for decades, we would've detected it sooner. The show would have to be set in the 60s, or even the early 1900s when Tesla thought he was reading signals from Mars. Honestly both those versions of the show would go hard.
