"Well the USA did it, too! has got to be the worst justification, for anything, that I have ever heard.

“… they need to fix the problem quickly, and after some political dicking around this is the only option they’re left with?”

Allright well we seem to have the Americans warming up to perform their hit number “WE TOLD YOU SO” lets see if it changes from the last fifty times we’ve heard it…

Or psych students feel about CBT…

Huh, I thought ‘thank you’ was a cognate in ASL/JSL. More you know!

… Debian was on twitter??

Seems like the answer is yeah!

That’s because the problem also applies to the arrangement of files on hard drives and in databases, where the items to be arranged could number in the billions.

Well that’s a take.

Fallout 3 is a shit game (The classic example of why is that things like stealing a spoon will get you sentenced to death by mob violence) Play Fallout New Vegas, it’s built on Fallout 3’s engine but instead of being designed and written by indentured interns at Bethesda it was made by people who are, you know, game designers. (I would kill for a NV-esque sequel to F04)

I’d be fine with that, if that had been criticism the games had ever received. But… this just seems like their own personal hangip?

Yes!

Doesn’t say great things about pakistans nuclear deterrence…

Yeah, while there’s surely some engineering that went into this, it’s not exactly impressive to watch a machine designed to do one thing and only one thing successfully do the thing it was designed to do. This isn’t a general purpose humanoid robot displaying adaptability and what we might call skill, this is… a machine for making baskets. On sticks. Sticks with wheels.

Add to it that this is a Guinness world record, so they just shelled out for the publicity and thats literally all they had to do (there’s no competition, Guinness will award them a [carefully phrased] world record no matter what), and its hard to get hyped about it.

Kerzap! Pow! Gersplat!

Nuclear submarines move over, it’s the dawn of the age of n u c l e a r t r u c k s

tf was up with that gun? Looked like some kind of DIY welrod from the way they kept having to manually cycle it. Maybe silencer and LV ammo? very weird.

Only if it comes from the regarded region of France, otherwise its just sparkling autism…

Fuck, I’d sure like to be living in the fantasy world where America is that generous. You might get that much with a severe disability in a super high COL area, but it’d be hard fought and the invasion of your privacy is going to be absurd to make sure you’re not ‘abusing’ it.

Man, I sure have had that one wrong my whole life. Damn.

They’re not iron, they’re magnesium. Hence “Maglite”.
