Laser tanks are impractical. What if the enemy wears mirrored shades? That laser goes right back and kills you instead. You don't want your 100 million dollar tank to be taken out by a pair of Ray-Bans.

Also, Ubuntu is moving towards using snaps for everything so they're pretty much the successor to PPAs.

Notable for being a class of substances that freaks out Erowid, a website that otherwise thinks that just about every drug can be used safely if you know what you're doing. If it freaks them out it freaks me out.

"One of them is responsible for unspeakable atrocities and the loss of millions of lives. The other made some tweets that negatively affected stock prices. It's hard to tell which is worse."

I still remember when we started doing data science in school and I was held back by my CPU's lack of enterprise remote management capabilities. If only I had a vPro-enabled CPU back then!

I also got an F in eSports class that year but that was for unrelated reasons.

(Just how much coke did Intel's marketing department do to come up with this presentation?)

40 yo you embracing the name again because you realized that agonizing over what random people think about a perfectly fine username isn't worth your time.

(I could've made a picture here but I'm also not agonizing over what random people think about my laziness.)

Okay, nicotine is now a Schedule II drug. You need a prescription to buy anything with nicotine in it.

Also, we load the JavaScript from five different CDNs, some of which are horrifically slow today. We also make sure to only load some of the scripts after others have been successfully loaded so uMatrix users have to refresh the page a dozen times.

The second amendment is nominally there to allow people to form state militias in case the United States get invaded. With that in mind (and ignoring the many ways in which this kind of militia is completely irrelevant for defense purposes these days) we can come up with a reasonable compromise.

Anyone is allowed to own any gun they want. Access to ammunition is strictly regulated; only the state and shooting ranges are allowed to own ammo at all and the latter are under very strict supervision. Unlawful possession of ammunition is a felony.

In case the US Army is overrun each state will conscript all gun owners and issue them ammunition from the stockpile so they can go out and engage any enemy forces susceptible to infantry attack.

I'm sure all fans of the second amendment are going to love this plan. /s

Süddeutscher: Hui! Hahaha! Heut ist eine Gaudi und alle sind dabei! Party Party Party!

Norddeutscher: Ich sitze mit meinem Kumpel auf einem Deich, niemand sagt etwas und wir sehen der Sonne beim Untergehen zu.

Beide: Das ist Lebensfreude.

An sich ist deutsche Bierwerbung gar nicht so uneinheitlich.
