I swear they're monitoring NCD for ideas
It is public and (relatively) common knowledge that an Abrams tank can fire accurately at speed over rough terrain by postponing the firing of a shell by just a fraction of a second until the gyroscopes and computers determine that tank is "floating" at the apex of a bump.
That tech has existed since the 1980's.
The implementation shown in this gif may be noncredible, but the concept most certainly belongs in the other place.

Trump: Russia has less than two weeks to end war
I went to YouTube to find a montage I'd seen recently of the clown saying "in two weeks" about all kinds of things, but there's so many I couldn't pick one. Some are from 8 years ago.

Google AI making up recalls that didn’t happen
Reply in thread
So much this. The whole point is to annihilate entire sectors of decent paying jobs. That's why "AI" is garnering all this investment. Exactly like Theranos. Doesn't matter if their product worked, or made any goddamned sense at all really. Just the very idea of nuking shitloads of salaries is enough to get the investor class to dump billions on the slightest chance of success.

one of the fork tines was slightly bent so they don't line up perfectly
That would irritate me more than getting forked in the first place.

To every goddamned idiot who voted for this clown because Kamala wouldn't go rogue as veep, go ahead and imagine her ever in a million years telling Israel to "finish the job".

AI radio hosts demonstrate why AI can’t be trusted alone - Claude tried to incite a revolution, Gemini cheerfully detailed horrific tragedies, and poor Grok was just confused.
Gemini got morbid, Claude got radical, and Grok got confused.

Honestly, the apple TV is the least spammy by a long shot. I also hear great things about the Nvidia shield, but it is pretty ancient by now. Or use a computer, but of course that's got its own annoyances. Of course these are all the most expensive options, apparently for a reason.

Barbie screening cancelled in Paris after anti-LGBTQ+ backlash
What the fuck part advocates homosexuality?? Qualifier that I haven't seen the movie since it came out, but as I recall....
The entire B-plot is about Ken being absolutely obsessed with Barbie. At no point does Ken consider whether he's actually into another Ken. And Barbie doesn't give a shit about Ken not because she's gay, but because He's Just Ken. That's the fucking joke. I swear none of these idiots have sisters or daughters and have never seen them Play Barbies.
It's a grown woman filmmaker finding the funny in applying adult themes of anxiety and existential crisis upon Stereotypical Barbie and Stereotypical Ken, while all the other Barbies and Kens still live within the rules of Playing Barbies from her youth.
Is it all the pink? The beach bod dudes? Is that where they're finding The Ghey? Perhaps that says more about them than the movie.

This isn't even the qualifying incident; he helped promote this antivax shit in American Samoa and at least 79 people died there. Most of those were children.
The fact that the Senate confirmed this freak is insane. The fact that Mitch McConnell was the lone Republican against reaffirms the stereotype that Republicans only care about something when it affects them - Mitch is a polio survivor and therefore pro vaccinations...
