It’s a fresh hot SCOP dog! With only minor traces of lead and radiation.

Idea: tarpit, but let it escape after indexing about 10,000 instances of these silly maps generated by our own AI.

There were no food allergies because they died of anaphylaxis as infants. There was no autism because they were institutionalized as "mentally retarded,’ hidden from the public and often killed themselves. There were no gays because they had to hide or be lynched. There were no transgender people because they had to hide who they were, and many died by suicide. And they were “fine” with no vaccines because anyone who didn’t have a strong enough immune system Died. So get this bullshit out of here if you’ve ever relied on a young person to care for you, modern medicine to keep you alive, mental Healthcare to keep you from slipping into senile insanity, and the compassion of others. You’re still alive because your offspring saw your lack of empathy, and realized how important it really is…

This is so obviously satire, who tf be downvoting?

Nope. The survived an explosion, fell a few miles, and got crushed inside the capsule and killed by g forces upon hitting the water…

The trolls be a- trolling on this fine summer morning…

Naw the west is still active all night, the vampires are just lurkers.

Jack in with your personal link.

…so Jimmy Neutron can penetrate concrete?

As a vampire, please don’t compare us to those fucking monsters. It’s extremely insensitive. Most of us are, in fact, antifascist, probably from the turnings of dying allied soldiers during the war…

I like a sideways version of H, but my girlfriend likes D, so I end up sideways in a coffin housed within a section of the tesseract blanket that’s slightly outside of the material plane and it’s lovely

You develop cyberpsychosis. Your anatomy is too foreign for anyone to be able to treat it.

You have to eat enough calories to keep up with it, and while your body is stronger, you’ll still wear out and likely need all your joints replaced within a decade.

I learned all the basics of computers when I was 10 from Minecraft. Learned basic life concepts from there much earlier. I learned file directories from modding Java edition. Learned networking from multilpayer. Get an error message? Read it, Google and try to figure out how to fix it. Learned some Java coding around age 12 from a modding lesson program my parents got me. Also learned electronic skills and soldering at the same age from disassembling broken stuff and savaging motors to make stuff.

If kids are given a difficult, nerdy interface in one hand, and all the world’s knowledge in the other, they’ll be genius. If they’re given an iPad they’ll have no idea what a folder is, much less a MAC address.

This is why all children should start on a $100 ThinkPad running Arch Linux, a cheap rooted phone, and Firefox with the links to stack exchange and arch forums bookmarked for them.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

A lot of us in NOLA, too! And Denver for some reason…

Don’t say “Very UwU,” say “Nyaaaaaaaaa :3”

I think fashion will change to fit the technology, honestly. It’s happened before with smartwatches (somewhere down the line we decided a square black “mirror” on the wrist actually looks pretty darned cool if you design it right).

Look at cyberpunk for examples. In general their design team did really, really well, and while many wouldn’t adopt the chunkier bits, I’d certainly opt for that style.

For a real life example, we have the Hyperion Thinview (an fpv headset) that shows practicality for that form factor. Not the best, but throw in Meta levels of screen density and high-tech optics and yeah I think it’s possible in that thin compact design.

It’s not the whole plane, just major systems. The main cost is the engines, that alone likely costs millions. As it mentioned, there’s other overhauls too, like the landing gear that’s due. These are all on a fixed schedule related to “this many flight-hours” and a certain number of years or months for some parts. The engine overhaul isn’t just “six to twelve months,” it’s “this many flying hours” (which typically comes out to 6-12 months all the same).

I wouldn’t be upset about the overhauls, that’s a normal part of the cost of owning a plane (though it’s harder to sell if it’s due one, because the buyer will have to spend a fuckton of money before flying it).

The upsetting part is that’s is foreign and not up to spec - AKA yeah they’ll have to remove, scan, x-ray and debug every part of that interior and redo the entire electrical and coms system, and install nuclear shielding on the whole-ass plane. Still cheaper than buying a new AF1 but not by as much as one would hope.
