Can someone explain to me why someone would wear crocs with the American flag?

They found a pair at Goodwill or some other discount site and cared more about saving a few bucks than looking stylish.

That’s why you don’t build a million of them.

I just finished the power leveling last night.

Huge mistake. Now all you have left to do is martyr yourself for the benefit of your nefarious ex-best friend’s political ambitions.

No. This is somewhere to be. This is all you have, but it’s still something. Streets and sodium lights. The sky, the world. You’re still alive.

Armored Core VI is a FromSoft game. Fortunately, not quite as bad as the Usury Simulator of prior editions. But I’m still ghost-in-a-shell working odd jobs in war zones to afford a new human body. So, I’m thinking I’m pretty deeply fucked.

The funny thing about jobs is that demand for the job tends to scale with pay. Of all the IT positions in an office, the guy fixing the printers is probably earning the least.

His stepdad, of course.

Wait, is this the audience for Umamusume Pretty Derby?

I would be curious to know this uptime relative to any other self-hosted sites.

I remember Reddit and Twitter constantly suffering from uptime issues and they were far more decentralized, with modern infrastructure to match.

Is 95.2% all that far out of the realm of expectation?

Disclaimer: this is all probably fake

The picture looks exactly like Pope Francis, not JP2, so…

Getting into St. Peter’s Chair to give IT advice.

Top 500 songs from the 1970s

Oops, all Cher

I wouldn’t hold my breath. Kissinger made it to 100.

What does that have to do with the drm mandate being easy to get around?

You can get around the DRM mandate with a bicycle. That doesn’t mean you’ve solved the underlying problem

Very important to know the difference and be clear eyed about it

I’m not sure honestly sure what your point is

3D printers produce plastic crap.

It’s helpful to understand what you actually have control over, rather than confusing good fortune for savvy decision making.

every neighborhood has a few people who can build you a car from scratch in a day

How many cars does the city demand be produced each day? Cause my own city of Houston sees over 380k new cars sold annually.

the city already has several thousand car factories that don’t require registration

Itty bitty ones, sure. And they take weeks to produce a working vehicle, of substandard quality.

there’s no mechanism to enforce registration

Until you get pulled over

the cost of building a new car is a few hundred dollars

A plastic car that can go maybe a few hundred miles before falling apart if it’s made perfectly.

Building a 3d printer from a kit is different from building one from scratch

You can build cars from a kit, too. But I’m not going to do that when I can buy a used Corolla or KIA for couch cushion money and drive it into the ground over the next fifteen years.

That seems like a nightmare to set up.

Feels like people casually mocking car registration by pointing to the Hot Rod from Home Improvement.

I mean, sure. It can be done. But I failed to install a water cooling kit in my computer after a very long and harrowing weekend. I’m not fucking with this.
