Other kinds of severe weather are predictable, whereas there's a big difference between "this pattern could develop into a tornado over the next half hour, batten down the hatches" and "A TORNADO HAS TOUCHED DOWN NEAR YOU, GET TO A SHELTER WITHIN THE NEXT MINUTE OR YOU'LL DIE!"

Seems like those cops went to the same school as the Uvalde piss babies.

I will never forgive JSON for not allowing commas after the last element in a list.

If they control the browser they can potentially intercept everything you see and do. Banking info, whether you looked up Tianmen square, who you talk to, who you trust... They can also infer personality from your browsing history. Looked at clown outfits just before watching porn? Maybe you'll get a letter blackmailing you or else they'll divulge your fetish to your family and loved ones. This is not fiction - China has been caught doing this to political personalities, and those are only the ones that failed.

The browser can also serve as a gateway for them to install persistent monitoring software on your OS, or turning your machine into part of a botnet.

A pirate walks into a bar. The bartender says: "Did you know you have a steering belt attached to your crotch?" The pirate answers: "Yarr, it be driving me nuts!"

Rather a DEI hire than a nepo baby.

The London Underground is actually kind of a dumb use-case because it’s fixed infrastructure.

On the other hand it's a perfect test bed, because there's sufficient changes of direction and speed, and the fixed infrastructure lets you measure drift. Plus it being underground helps simulate GPS signal being weak or unavailable.

Natural born citizen may be a bit problematic, but there's precedent with at least one district court recognizing animals as legal persons as of 2021.

On the dystopian side, perhaps this also means a corporation could become POTUS.

Good fucking riddance to that massive waste of oxygen.

Bazzite is a good HTPC or living room gaming distro. It is not an ideal all purpose desktop distro, just like a Steam Deck is not an ideal all purpose desktop system.

If you want a Bazzite-like experience that is better suited for the desktop then use Fedora Silverblue, which is what Bazzite/ublue builds upon.

If it "holds" the screams as if it was an item, would you be able to pull a scream out of the bag at will? Does than then mean that you can use the bag to prepare verbal components of spells?
