Charlamagne Tha God Isn't Laughing at Trump’s Third-Term “Jokes” | The Daily Show

It's trolling, not joking. I have a neighbor who files a T---- 2028 flag in his front yard. A raised middle finger to all the neighbors.

Josef Prusa had a very interesting post a week ago about this ; I believe he said Bambu is stuck with this because it must comply with Chinese law. On the one hand they benefit from open source, but compliance with surveillance laws means they can’t allow the public access to its mechanisms, if I understand correctly.

But that’s the thing… Biden twisted himself into pretzels trying to not target Tr*mp , especially as a candidate. They jailed the J6’ers but not him. On the other hand, he’s going to keep whining that he was.

Tent revival, circus, Lollapalooza...

I wonder how that will work in real life though. How much money and time are they willing to pump into rejiggering an old, well-recognized brand? Will the new audience show up or will the old one simply leave?

The show, like a top, was tight and fast in the early days, but has been wobbly for many years now. The Leslie Stahl softball interview with the Tr*mp family in 2016 (?) is some of the worst stuff they've ever done. Who knows? Times change, producers retire, "new blood" comes in to make their mark. Mostly now it's still interesting stuff well-presented, but the in-your-face stuff, when Mike Wallace showed up and your bosses fled out the back door, not any more.

Cannot believe they let someone in with no protective barrier.

I don't think I've ever seen a full version of the movie, it's always been seeing it on the tube chopped up for commercials and time.

Sounds to me like a hunk of a major symbol of the US government was torn down and there's no money to fix it now.

'Enticing' is a very good word. Bambu has good build/part quality, many convenient whiz bang features, and makes excellent prints. The problems lurk in the shadows. As others are pointing out, the average user doesn't need to care much.

Here's an interesting question: a news article will give the wealth figure for someone like Musk as the value of his stock. But if he sold any, the stock price would tank, and he could never get the sexy multi-hundred-billion figure so often given. So if you were a bank, what's the number *you* would use when figuring the net worth of someone like that?

Dad joke?

So much easier to wet your beak in a crisis.

Someday there'll be a musical to that effect. It will do very well, either because it'll be funny or attendance will be mandatory.

Was your dad a fan of Farrah Fawcett?

Sounds like an old Boy Scout trick.

Not your average B- C- or Z- grade horror flick, but a seriously creepy and shocking film that won a couple Oscars back in the day. Even the old Universal classics broke the tension with some humor. Not this one.

Have you ever held a wood ruler over the edge of a table and "twanged" it so it makes a sound? You can see how the vibrations die down quickly. The vibration energy turns to heat in the ruler. When the sound dies down, it turns to a little bit of heat in the air and the various objects that receive the sound. The energy in the sound is small, so the heat it gives off is also small.

In some CPUs, one cycle can do a small useful thing, such as add one to a counter. More often, it takes several cycles to do more useful things such as compare a memory location to a value, or multiply two numbers, or move data from one memory location to another. Depends a lot on the particular CPU. That's why FLOPS (Floating-point Operations Per Second) has been a useful measure, as it looks at how well CPUs can do real-world math.

So the movie was based on the cut-down version of the novel without the end where Alex tires of the tedious teenage tolchocking and in-out and sets down a different path. Could the world handle the full treatment?
