  • Oh, crab.

    Evolution-Os: Oops All Crab!

  • A declaration of war
  • I like the edges and corners of a cake/brownie

    You might want to try this.

  • Poe Toaster
  • Time to see if there are any notable dead people near me and start a tradition.

    They don't have to be famous now, in doing this you could make any grave famous.

  • Marjorie Taylor Greene rages at Mike Johnson and calls to fund government with Dems
  • And the right wingers said, "Well we didn't think it would work!"

    I recall a number of voters who voted in favor of Brexit who were interviewed and said things like "but I didn't think it would actually happen!"

    I also seem to recall a similar sentiment in a case where people voted to strip funding from a local library in Michigan, then were shocked when the library had to close.

  • good news!
  • Don't forget the alt text:

    Attention all passengers: This is an express sequence to infinity. If your stop is not a power of two, please disembark now.

  • A robot begins removal of melted fuel from the Fukushima nuclear plant. It could take a century
  • Maybe we should chip in and buy a second robot.

    Hear me out: three robots.

  • Republicans threaten a government shutdown unless Congress makes it harder to vote
  • shit down the government

    I don't know if this was a typo, but it's rather appropriate either way.

  • ‘No Way To Prevent This,’ Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens
  • It says there are no videos in the playlist.

    The videos are there for me. Maybe you're in a region where they're blocked?

  • Humble Bundle - Sir Terry Pratchett's Discworld
  • Where's a good place to start? Is there some overarching narrative or can you read them in any order?

    While there are myriad reading orders that have been devised over the years, my method with long extended series such as this one is simple: I consume them in the order in which they were produced/released.

  • How can we progress to Star Fleet and the Federation now?!?
  • Now I can't read that without hearing Avery Brooks' voice.

  • Android malware steals payment card data using previously unseen technique
  • You don't actually give the card to the employees, do you?

    Typically when I go through a drive thru, I hand my card to someone who then leans back inside to swipe/tap/whatever it, then they hand it back. So yes, commonly I do give my card to an employee for at least a few seconds.

    During 2020-2022 more of them were in the habit of placing the PIN pad at the window so it could be reached by customers from their cars, but it wasn't designed to be used that way and I'm sure it caused other issues.

  • The GOP offers more fear and disinformation to divide us and keep people angry
  • She was a Scottish immigrant and her son is first-generation Scottish-American on her side.

    I think the person above you is using the US Census Bureau definition of generations, which is that the first gen is the immigrant themselves, second gen their children. That's how I've always understood it.

  • Traffic control booth. Chernivtsi, Ukraine. 1970s
  • Gotta imagine that ladder was covered in ice for much of the year.

    Assuming this is in fact in Chernivtsi, as the post title says, it's not too bad there. Mean temp falls below freezing for three months out of the year.

    Still, probably not fun to climb when there is ice...

  • A Different Way of Measuring Time: Metric Time
  • Dinner time would be around 0.7083 o-clock.

    This is fairly similar to .beat time; in that system you would write it as @708. I guess you could make it @708.3 to be more specific.

  • Americans want to rein in Supreme Court justices, poll finds
  • Next they'll say voting is a major threat to democracy.

    Didn't they just declare at the RNC that they don't want to live in a democracy?

  • The Olympic standing?
  • Wait, what's the relative value of gold to silver and bronze

    Gold is about 80:1 against silver. Bronze is probably 0.1 in that scale.
