I foresee a busy year for potato flour and MRE processing plants. ... And those little boxes of instant au gratin.

"One death is a tragedy, a million is a statistic." I suppose rooting for people to die doesn't sound barbarous, so long as you're not rooting for anyone in particular to die.

I didn't misunderstand anything. Your little "network effect", as you have so pretentiously worded it assumes teenagers are only getting on social media for their classmates, not for all the other users on a social media site

My grandfather was a farmer in the 70s-80s, and he used futures on about 50% of his crop every year. Just enough to make sure a bad year can't wipe out the farm.

Enforcement of that law is going to be a certifiable joke. My Chinese classmates back in undergrad in the early 2010s used to use a VPN to access their Facebook accounts when they went home for break. Like anyone else around here in their 3

The big about textiles (curtains and bed fabric) functioning as insulation gave me flashbacks to my dad repeatedly complaining over the past decade about a couple small boxes of my stuff taking up space he "needs" in his 700 sqft

The kind of vice-signaling Palantir employees do on this board is more pathetic than the guy who peaked in high school bragging about the time he woke up hungover in a pool of his own vomit. "No really, I do consequential stuff! See, I

But alas, FreeBSD does support OCI container images! It supports Podman and has an OCI-compliant runtime: https://freebsdfoundation.org/blog/oci-containers-on-freebsd... However, I still can't pinpoint what the va

Color me confused, but what do containers add to FreeBSD beyond jails? Jails have their own IP addresses and root filesystem, plus they use the host OS's version of libc and OpenSSL/LibreSSL and all the other core utils. Is it the

It's Chevron DEFERENCE; not DEFENSE. Everyone who replied completely missed my point, despite how simply and clearly I worded it. You're doing a masterful job illustrating it. Everyone around here thinks that just because you don&

I didn't defend jack fuckin shit. All I did was point out that nobody arguing for or against this case on HN has anything to say worth reading about it.

You're as qualified to opine on legal matters as is a software engineer who works in biotech to opine on medicine. That is to say, a lot less than you think. You're not Antonin Scalia, you didn't earn it- have some humility.

The number of software engineers in this thread who think they are legal scholars is a sight to behold. It reminds me of all the bad legal advice on Stack Overflow, Quora, and Leddit.

He's still going, but he's not as "angry" as he was circa 2006-2011. He did that deleted episode on Custer's Revenge, and then he went back and made it even funnier by censoring it. ORIGINAL: https://cine

You gotta point people to the original episode, it's classic certifiably unhinged AVGN. "What a shitload of fuck! This game chews turds! This game sucks your balls off and spits them up your ass!" https://youtu.be&

That "expansion pak" RDRAM upgrade was designed to give the N64DD enough buffer space so devs could continue using about 4MB of RAM for everything else, so I can't imagine how expensive the N64 would have been if they had to

by president_zippy 10mo ago
The whole thing about the texture cache being the worst design decision in the N64 just gets parroted so much, but nobody can cogently explain which corner should have been cut instead to fit the budget.

I freely admit I am out of my depth and have nothing educational to add on the subject. I have but four things to add on this subject: 1. Oh! It's "d.i.l.l.o."! I misread that as something else. 2. After reading many comments

We really need some antitrust enforcement right about now. When second and fourth largest companies by market cap find it in their financial best interest to collaborate with each other, we have a problem. In healthy markets, two companies

Maybe this explains why another company just entered into a bidding war with Pfizer to acquire Metsera (MTSR). Thank God, because my $60 strike call options just turned from a $55k loss to a $180k gain overnight. I shoulda read the CVRs BEF

You're more worried about some hypothetical apocalyptic scenario where lawful firearm owners suddenly lose their minds and fall into mass-psychosis than you are about existing known violent criminals committing more violent crimes. I c

Thanks for catching my typo, I hope more people discover their cheese. I love every variety of their cheese, but the Merlot and Tennessee Whiskey cheeses are on another level.

Hard calcium-lactate crystals are an intentional feature of Belvitano cheese. They add a great texture and add tanginess to parmesan-esque taste.

I used to be a competitive marksman through JROTC, and the FUD around firearms is so overblown compared to the fear most people should have while driving their car or doing certain jobs. A chem lab staffed only by trained professionals is s

Your friend sounds like a good guy. Hopefully you're with him when you're out in public, and some sicko goes postal or some bum with a drug addiction starts waving a knife at you.

I like my 2nd, 4th, and 5th amendment rights. I don't want to live in a world where cops can stop people for speeding and use it as probable cause to search my car. I also don't want to live in an environment where when I'm s

People from "hick, redneck, working class" areas don't say "hick, redneck, working class". They might say "hick" if they're from rural northern New England, the upper midwest, rural Canada, or Cascadi

Despite abuses of it, there are still too many reasons to need it, like when President Franklin Pierce pardoned an abolitionist for harboring fugitive slaves, or when George Washington pardoned Revolutionary War vets involved in the Whiskey

You mean Circuit Court judge Robert Bork's "consumer welfare" standard? He's the genius behind that. The same Robert Bork whose SCOTUS nomination got held up by the Senate in a deluge of fire and fury, only for Antonin
