  1. I'm here for t3h luz.

  2. ::snort::

  3. Oh, lawd, no... please, do NOT offer me a ridiculously low auction price on Yet Another Receiver.

    Why must you tempt me.

    Think of my wallet. And my piles of other electronic shit I got in my office.

  4. "tALEnT AcQUIsiTiON SpeCialiSt"

    My dude,you are a RECRUITER. Drop the idiotic corporate fluff. Nobody gives a fuck.

  5. $4 at local library.

    It's over 15hrs of music, most are full digital quality (DDD, classic music often afforded that).

    Your streaming subscription SUCKS.

  6. Beethoven, Mar-a-Lago edition.

  7. FTR,I am more of a ´70 Chevelle guy, but the '65 coupe is OG AF.

    THIS IS SOME GOOOOD SHIT

  10. For the uninitiated in the holiness of Coffee (...) caffeine is a protein (gasp). Proteins start to denature (lose their properties) at about ~53C/127F.

    Every time you roast coffee, you lose some of the kick. Darker roasts are more flavorful (think smoked meats, same same), but have less caffeine than medium roasts.

    It applies to brewing; the faster you brew/apply heat, the more kick left.

    TL;DR

    ::faces East, covers face with hands:: There is only Coffee and Espresso is its sole Prophet

  11. Speaking of, I opened a new brick o' coffee (vacuum packed), with a slightly lighter roast than I am used to.

    I take 2 shots of espresso into a home latte, every morning. Coffee is my religion, so to speak. This one, I felt the JOLT. Yikes

    ::examines packaging for presence of meth or the like::

  12. Douchebag, techbro likely liber-tuh-ree-aaahn (auto blocked) just now:

    "Oh, but people should be FREEEE [ ftreedumbz ] to check work they paid for!!" [ non verb ]

    Me: "yes, and the professional thus insulted should be FREEEEEE to tell them to go eat a bag of dicks in hell"

  13. Lawyer big mad at LLM-addled idiot

  14. Huh

    ::squints::

    Someone making "Lo-Fi"mix of Tom Jobim samba and bossa

    They must be seriously misled...Tom Jobim's samba AND bossa were *already* slow, and based on a beat.

    And they mosdefs already lo-fi as it gets... they are meant to be played with the following instruments: bar stool (mandatory), acoustic guitar, voice. Period. Comprehensive list.

  15. Shake-n-Bake.

    They say "hire" but they have FIRED so many.What this REALLY means is "make people apply, shift by those approved by MAGAts" to load the service with MAGAts.

  16. bbc.com/news/articles/cwywxvgy

    "The commission's vice-chairman, James McCrery, said: "I motion to approve this [coin] as presented, and with the strong encouragement that you make it as large as possible, all the way to three inches in diameter.""

    Ritchie Torres (D-NY), last year proposed a bill titled Trump (The Restrict Ugly Money Portraits) Act, to bar presidents from issuing currency bearing their own likeness. It has not passed.

  17. If you are an "Alien" fan, there is a series of shorts released you might wanna check out

    As always, survival rules:
    1- if you can destroy something terrible, DO IT.
    2- if you find a weapon, in a incipient skeezy situation, NEVER PUT IT DOWN.
    3- if someone who IS NOT THERE WITH YOU tells you to not do any of the above, disregard them.
    4- if you find yourself overwhelmed, nuke from orbit; IT'S THE ONLY WAY TO BE SURE.

  18. It's been just over six years. Twenty, if you count first documented outbreaks of CoV(b) .

    We are still not at adequate levels of vaccination. Mostly due to political rightwing idiocy. Not mincing words, it's all MAGAts' fault.They bought the hype, gleefully.

    BUT there are good news. Some recent reports show average reinfection cycles that hint that, among the vaccinated, COVID has reached just under flu reinfection cycles.

    4/x

  19. Sometime around mid to late November 2019, a few SMEs were guesstimating the nCoV2(b)-2019 caused would hit like / /#ARDS and be analogue to the worst outbreaks of Influenza A (H5Nx), and eventually, after adequate mitigation methods (vaccine) developed and deployed, hit flu levels of reinfection and outbreak severity

    3/x

  20. Revisiting some of the material and timeline documentation , regarding

    The /#MSARS / epidemic of early to mid 2000s (and 2010s-2020s) was vastly disregarded, because only brown people were dying,away from North America and Western Europe.

  21. It's 2127.

    A B-52 makes another orbital patrol, testing its latest modified engines and avionics. The A-10 escorts are doing ok, too.

  22. My apprehension about writing the coming movie has been slightly attenuated by the information, from someone I trust, that Colbert is a HUGE Tolkien ner.... FAN.... So, here is hoping the movie is not the clusterfuck 's middle episodes were.

    ::faces West, bows head, mutters a prayer to the Valar::

    Pleeeeaaaaase, don't fuck this one up...

  23. It took me exactly 3 seconds to search accounts that suggest accounts in mastodon.

    That was SO DARN HARD.

    Unpossible for blewski herd, I understand.

    unless it's on a STARTER PACK or mentioned by some influencer account paying for bot follower count, it's not possible to find, amirite.

    (which is why starter packs are a VERY BAD IDEA)

    JFC

  24. @flexghost JFC nazi demented grandpa is now slapping screenshots of messages from other world leaders to his personal phone.

    We are SO PAST 25A territory, it isn't even funny.

  25. For anyone who might want to re-watch it.

    Metropolis (1927) happens in 2026.

    Reminder.

    Osamu Tezuka drew a gorgeous manga version. Katsuhiro Otomo animated it, in a celebration of Tezuka's genius and his elegant hand lines.

    I recommend.

  26. Typhoon Tino (Kalmaegi) did a number on the Philippines. The 25th (yes) named storm of the season made landfall as it peaked, briefly to Cat4 (130mph, 948mbar), passed between islands leaving a trail of wreckage. Landslides, flash floods biggest culprit of the 140+ deaths.

    Philippines has had a BAD season, this year, and every storm hits worse, due to infrastructure of response being down from the previous storm/earthquake/volcano eruption (yes).

  27. Oooph.

    Jamaica, Haiti and Cuba are NOT ready, nor prepared for this. Trop Storm Melissa is slatted to gather more water, energy and turn into a monster storm, meandering between the Greater Antilles.

    That dark spot on the IR image is very hot air rising, sucking the storm in, along with more moisture. It's hurricane super food.

  28. Are the back?

    A lot of very new, very made-up accounts pushing dezinfo and both-sides bullshit that serves russian interests.

  29. There will be ZERO surprises if is already in the air to even after Judge Xinis issued a warning to to NOT remove him from CONUS.

    Until arrest warrants for contempt are issued AND ENFORCED, the US Courts are, for now, halls of unending, pedantic blahblahblah, and nothing more.

  30. Shandong carrier and strike group holding an exercise near Taiwan.

    The Shandong is a bigger version of the Kuznetsov (Liaoning).

    How is it NOT on fire, yet??

  31. @randahl FWIW, Murican here.

    Mostly, quality or faulty packing at manufacturer issues are the reason for returns.

    More and more online sellers are becoming just brokers, merely doing paperwork for import of goods from countries with poor to no #QAQC practices.

  32. #vroom #merc #190E

    Actually miss it. Wasn't even the 6-cyl or the Cosworth version, but rode like a champ.
