When I look up at Mars, shining brightly in the night sky, I find myself filled with hope that one day I will be able to point and say "See? That's where all the billionaires died."

I tried the demo. It needs some love before it would really be good. Too much of it is visually confusing and the lack of good connection routing makes it difficult to manage.

Inspiring: this elbowless man manages to hold down a full time job as a Prime Minister

Mark Carney may look like just another Canadian Prime Minister. But don’t let that fool you. The most inspiring part of his story isn’t that he went to Harvard, or even that he’s made millions working...

unfortunately I have determined that we need to replace the term "AI" when talking about traditional game AI meant to move characters around a game world.

Firefox has added more AI bullshit. This last option under the tabs general settings showed up for me, and it was enabled by default.

god damn this looks much like one of my best friends growing up, right down to the slight slouch.

this is why I have straight given up trying to record acoustic guitar though. trying to get my windows laptop fans to shut the fuck up for one take? keep my furnace from randomly interrupting? I was close to throwing all my guitars in a wood chipper

this reminds me about how brits living in canada don't call themselves immigrants, they call themselves "expats". I'm sure there's a class of person who believe they aren't an immigrant... because of certain reasons you may easily guess.

Public official removes Flock Safety camera that the city unilaterally agreed to remove, gets arrested.

A county commissioner tried to take down a License Plate Reader in his jurisdiction where elected officials had ended their contract w/ Flock. Police arrested him.

Who really runs these counties? Politicians gave blank checks to police and are now learning the genie is out of the bottle.
