It's a long time to spend in prison at 64, but looks like he's out now. I wonder where he is. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tommy_Gregory_Thompson

All great pictures. The chick in the last one looks very pleased with themselves.

Hooray it's the good guys!

Also yikes that's kinda scary, I wonder if any are fully autonomous targeting and firing.

I'm not in your shoes, but I gotta be honest, of all the useless jobs out there, firefighter is not one of them. I'm not trying to tell you you should find it fulfilling, simply that in my eyes at least, it's a worthy role.

Waiting for it to break 2k 😬

mh150 sunglasses from decathlon. Wayfarer shape but they fit my rather large head just fine and I liked the colours. They were cheap (£10) so it didn't matter so much if I lost or broke them. They were mirrored.

For about 6 years I relied on them and now I need to find a new brand or supplier.

I use AI to apply for job. The recruiter uses AI to sift the applications.

Who needs humans.

I think the guilty party could only be more obvious if he'd fallen out of a window...

Muskyness aside; it is pretty impressive to watch, almost looks like the footage has been reversed.

Audio is really annoying.

As a fan of both authors I'd just like to point out the quote is from Douglas Adams, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe.

Upon leaving the EU any laws that were in use were 'enshrined' into UK law. In order for the UK to remove EU laws we'd need to actively remove them through an act of parliament. (At least that's my vague understanding..) https://www.legislation.gov.uk/eu-legislation-and-uk-law

I'm happy to keep the EU laws, it'll save time when we rejoin.🇪🇺🇬🇧

My exact first thought. If he's going to abuse his power and force govt services to provide twitter updates it should be accessible to all without restriction.

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) on Saturday said it will stop e-mailing news organizations and reporters with updates about two plane crashes that occurred earlier this week.
Moving forward, the federal agency tasked with investigating transportation-related accidents and disasters said news organizations and reporters will have to follow the agency’s official account on X

It's an old joke updated for new technology .. that's part of what makes it clever.

It references the original joke (albeit in very small text)

The Asterix books frequently did something similar. https://cloud.wordpress.com/2022/02/17/asterix-and-the-historical-interpretation/

I just cancelled my subscription

It worked for netflix and the steaming services. Now terrestrial (cable) is dead and adsupported streaming tiers have returned lol.

Recently something has changed and the start menu likes to search for apps in its browser (not my default app). I used to press windows key then type "snip" for the screenshot tool, now half of the time is does the wrong thing ...

Also here's a link to post talking about react in the start menu https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30384494

Perhaps the only reason it's not been attempted is that Trump is the best bet for most enemy foreign governments.

Next up GPUs require always-on connections and Nvidia requires a monthly subscription to pay for that.
