the bikes fuckin found out about religion, call the cops. no not the regular cops

heads up that bluesky doesnt show posts from other languages by default on your timeline, and its cutting you off from a lot of the community go to bsky.app/settings/lan... and deselect any language from this setting, or else you might not see any of the new japanese users at all!

#meetthewebcomic 3rd Voice is a story about the world ending and not being quite smart enough to figure out why that is happening or what that means exactly rice-boy.com/3rdvoice/

oof

stop making us know what mark Cuban is saying! knock that off right now!!

what in the hell was that large explosion sound in SOMA?

you could make an anime out of this

God Rest You! Merry Gentlemen

Santa does not follow a predictable ballistic trajectory as he delivers presents to all the houses, so our midcourse defenses are useless. We must instead strategically position Nike-X sites in areas with high concentrations of good boys and girls to eliminate the threat.

Fans of Christmas are in for a treat tomorrow

Ok guys, it gets funnier: someone sent me this Wikipedia link: My intuition was correct!

this feels like vintage internet. just discovered a wordpress blog called "Pre-Digital Railfan - Train Watching In The Age of Kodachrome". It is full of incredible slides of vintage trains, shot by PNW native Lindsay Korst (including this shot). it's so good, go check it out pdrailfan1.wordpress.com

Tis the Season

finally listened to this one and it's hands-down the most chaotic non-bonus-episode yet

my favourite type of guy i accidentally discovered on youtube is “guy who owns a rolls royce jet engine and just fires that shit up on his property sometimes”

One of the more important stock-taking moments to watch a bootlegged news program censored in your country.

Sad to report congress has decided to no longer enforce the winter solstice. Days will continue to get shorter until, eventually, we live in a world of endless night

It's amazing that housing supply deniers will say "new housing doesn't lower rents" and meanwhile real estate investors openly write stuff like "thanks to low housing production, there's less competition and we can raise rents!"

unfortunately living in the Wildland-Urban Interface has turned me pagan and I really, really care that it's the solstice and that the sun chariot will be above the horizon for 30 more seconds each day and then i plant my seeds etc

I won't accept that technology should be a semi-magical shell game to rip off rubes! There were many decades where we trusted normies to understand what an MP3 is and decide whether they wanted some!

"boo hoo hoo all the waymos got confused and blocked traffic during the blackout" ok but when confused they stopped driving, unlike the human drivers, several of whom tried to run me over despite being plastered in hi-vis

A guy flew a glider from Nevada all the way to freaking Kansas on Friday 12 hours and 1200 miles in the air with no engine. Dudes rock

hmmmmm seems bad

guys don’t worry about that sonic boom that just reverberated across the entire bay area. was just me closing my laptop for the year

they're doing this to me tomorrow

the only gaming device that palmer luckey invented that matters is this one and we have to force him to use it at all costs www.vice.com/en/article/p...

The previous two NASA administrators were sworn in by vice presidents (Bridenstine by Pence; Nelson by Harris.) Isaacman was sworn in by a district judge. www.nasa.gov/news-release...

watts are a unit of power, not of energy. comparing your laptop consuming ~15W steady state vs chatGPT using 300-600W for a completely unknown amount of time is... completely meaningless. devoid of information. unintelligible gobbledegook

whelp

going out for beers tonight while in a bit of a Brain Zone. this is indeed the vibe.

John Nagle -- yes, that one -- absolutely called the Luminar impact crater from a half decade out news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2427...

compromise position: instead of mechanical or digital interlocks, all motor vehicles should make increasingly distressed sounds of pain as speed goes past 35mph

cruising in the matrix at 70mph and only turning 2800RPM, dang the x1/9 is geared low. five gears on both cars. i guess that's part of the reason why the fiat feels so zippy at low speeds
