The first finals I watched were in 1994, when the Knicks lost to the Rockets in 7 games. I fell in love with the game watching Ewing vs Olajuwon, and felt NYC's pain in coming so close to their first championship in 21 years, so I can only imagine how New Yorkers are feeling tonight. Congrats yo.

I understand developers being lazy and not improving their product, but I'm completely baffled by developers working their arses off to make their product measurably worse with every update. Yes, Plex devs - I'm looking at you.

This is the one advance I don't take for granted. My first hard disk was an external 20mb drive for my Amiga that cost about a grand and was the size of a brick. From $50/MB down to $50 for half a terabyte is a 99.9998% cost reduction, and the miniaturization is fucking insane.

But does the rest of the world also have to be taught a lesson about American electoral politics? Is it the best thing for all of us to bear the consequences of idiots voting for an idiot on the other side of the planet? Can't Americans learn things without killing and impoverishing others?

Once again we've proven how bad we are at resource allocation, by giving a trillion $ to the person on earth least able to derive any joy from it, and least capable of doing anything interesting or positive with it. If I had a trillion $ it would be advisable to strap in and watch shit kick off.

Shout out to a real one... For years I waited patiently while sous vide circulators from $5k to $200, then bought my Anova on sale for $100 when I moved back to Aus from Canada in 2013. It's done about 35,000 hours of active service since and hasn't skipped a beat. So many incredible meals. Salute.

People may argue about which year was the best for gaming releases, but we can all agree on one thing: it was fucking ages ago.

Nothing can be healthy for both public trust and betting markets simultaneously.

Football, a game played in 139 countries: there's just one set of rules, same game every time. Cricket, a game played in 9 countries: well there's test cricket, then there are ODIs, you've got your 20/20, your big bash league...hmm? Oh, well you can tell by the colours?

How I know this is bullshit- "most fortnights, she automatically funnels..." that's not how "automatic" works. Either it happens automatically or it happens "most" fortnights.

Andy Merrill (Brak) is an Amazon delivery driver. Carey Means (Frylock) got CHF from/exacerbated by COVID & was recently working as a restaurant dishwasher. C. Martin Croker (Zorak) died of sepsis from an infected tooth he couldn't afford to get treated. Capitalism destroys both art & artist.

When senior management are on a retreat and there's a brewery around the corner from the office...

All you need to know about Korean television is that "time traveling chef" is a genre.

Why bother reporting a tantrum from a rich dickhead? Yeah buddy, pack up the soil & the climate and move your vineyard to Latvia... Because that's how wine works, you fucking rubes.

I keep hearing how AI will replace all the artists..I've been hearing this for some time now, so: where is the first piece of AI-created art that has anyone giving one tenth of a fuck about it? Where are the books? Where are the movies? Maybe Elon Musk lost them on his way to colonizing Mars in 2009

Hey Woolworths, tell your mum I said "sup?"

Just when you thought you'd seen it all

Ok this is a truly great tweet

My sweet Mischka is gone. Trying hard to focus on her happy 16 years of mischief and belly rubs and not on the crushing emptiness of the house without her in it.

Making it a rule in my team at work: If your information comes from an LLM you have to cite your source as "a bloke at the pub told me" so you know for fucking silly you are.

We had tapes that were recorded over as needed, and tapes my father had put a little orange sticker on. If you taped over an orange sticker your punishment was hearing about it every fucking time dad watched a movie for the next ten years. "Well we could watch Robin Hood...Oh, wait, no we can't."

@kels316.bsky.social I can't DM because I'm not handing over my id to a website... I'll host the Trek stuff in chunks as the machine running ftp server doesn't have disk space for the lot...I'll start with TOS then work my way through the timeline, I assume you want tv series before movies?

Guy who is creaming his pants about AI remaking Enter The Dragon so he's the hero and gets to fuck Sydney Sweeney at the end, hearing that Helen of Troy is black in The Odyssey: no not like that

What I love about Reddit is that it emulates the pre-Internet reality where you couldn't Google shit so if you wanted to know something obscure, you had to find the right autistic person to ask.

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

Work is 9-5, flexible. Four days a week nobody's in until 8:55. Tuesdays the CEO gets in just after 7am. I start at 8:45 (6:50 on Tuesdays) and tell everyone I started at 7. I go home at 3pm every day and nobody knows I'm shaving a day off every week.I get told to do less overtime regularly :D

Note that property investors get grandfathered changes, but NDIS participants do not. So our Government is effectively saying property investors deserve the dignity of maintaining their current comfort levels, but people with disabilities do not.

All these dickheads whining about women who aren't financially dependent on them, while all I've ever wanted was to be financially dependent on a woman. Decades I've been waiting for a generous, successful woman to come and sweep me off my day job,but I'm cursed with an attraction to poor artists

My friend is unemployed, on jobseeker benefits and a single parent with three children. He's gutted by this budget. Without negative gearing he's never going to get that third investment property.

"One Nation supporters are not unique or special. And treating their concerns as though they are more poignant, more precious, is part of a long history of racist scapegoating in this country" www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

You can almost hear the "ahhh fucksake" being repressed in this photo

Everyone but you is invited to regular meetings where it is announced what is and is not socially acceptable to say, our undercover reporters have found.

Marge, the rains are 'ere

Hate my work laptop and asked the boss for a new one. She said "sure, email support and tell them what you need". Fingers crossed my request for a $6k workstation makes it through approvals. On one hand that's massive overkill, but on the other hand she's clueless and thinks a sandwich costs $90

Why not count annual leave as income support? Trust funds? Pocket money for the kids? Rent subsidies for uni students still living at home? EVERYONE IS ON THE WELFARE TEAT.

Anything capable of having a discussion about consciousness but "doesn't know" it's conscious... isn't conscious. This fucken guy

Why are the numbers on a phone and a keyboard laid out in the opposite order?

"Help us help the environment Remember to bring your reusable bags."

If I had stupid money I'd buy stuff like Action Comics #1 or an authenticated letter signed by Napoleon then put on a cheap tracksuit and get them appraised by the Antiques Roadshow guys just to make their day.

This could be business casual if we even gave a shit

Probably eat less ass. Between soap, bidets, germ theory, an understanding of the role of fibre in the human diet and a plethora of advances in depilatory technology, eating ass has unarguably improved over time.

If you've driven in Asia recently you'll know that they do integration between phone & car properly, and have left the West in their wake. If the price is sending Shenzhen a video of me whacking off in the McDonald's car park while waiting for a K-Pop Demon Hunters Happy Meal, so be it.

Imagine having the cash to spend a million bucks a day for the next hundred years but still not living where you want to because you're too fucking cheap. I live where I want, Zuckerberg has to move because it's too expensive to stay where he wants to live. Loser.

I was an entry level accounts receivable clerk using Excel for basic shit and a friend who was taking a computing course asked me if I could explain VLOOKUP to him. I'd never heard of it, looked it up and realized Excel could do some cool shit. I'm writing some VBA right now, 29 years later.

Inside a car isn't "within my private property" it's "on a public road" in a box covered with windows. you have no right to privacy when driving a vehicle, and it's sociopathic to think otherwise.

In case you were wondering who the indented audience was ..

Every ANZAC day I think about how my father's father died in WWII, falling from the truck he was clinging onto then run over by the next truck in the convoy, retreating from the Japanese in Singapore, and how my dad grew up without a dad then became a terrible man and a terrible father. War sucks.

I love her so much

Speak for the youth? I'm 51 in a couple months and I fully endorse the thirst trap murdering the inhuman ghoul.
