They presented themselves as a mid-range department store, but operated like one of those shady junk stores with "GOING OUT OF BUSINESS!" signs in their windows for years.
Somebody (Not Necessarily the News I think) once did a fake commercial along the lines of "Going out of Business - 20th Anniversary Sale". The punchline at the end was: "We lost our lease.... but we're still looking for it!"
So after all this time and study, it turns out we really are a fluke of the universe and we really do have no right to be here.
I suppose it's just a matter of time that we discover that the Cosmic Microwave Background is really just the sound of the universe laughing behind our backs.
Word to the wise: If it asks you to download drivers for a Neurotoxin emitter, don't authorize it.
To think that Don Henley was right all this time...
"You don't really need to find out what's going on.
You don't really want to know just how far it's gone.
Just leave well enough alone. Eat your dirty laundry"
I have 20 presents on my radio. I just next-channel when an ad appears.
How do you see over the dash?
Yes, radio is an older technology - one option among many. But it's also the only one where you sometimes have to sit through massive amounts of advertisements to get to the actual entertainment. The ads in the free versions of apps like Pandora are nowhere near as often or as annoying.
As the old joke goes - both the Italians and the Japanese eat like that and have a greater life expectancy than Americans, British, Canadians and Australians.
Therefore, diet doesn't matter. It's speaking English that kills you.
....when even the cannibals have to start worrying about GMOs.
At least they'll be losing their jobs to American robots.
And it's Google's fault for returning the tutorial on page one of the results. What, they're using an automated algorithm? So they need to adjust their algorithm.
Or ask for support from wherever they copied it.
but when I bury myself solely in Star Trek people it can warp me.
Then stick to impulse power for a while.
The problem with test scores is that they don't mean shit except that you have either been an ass-kiss student who was used by a professor,
For the literature teacher who wants you to exalt their favorite author or the history/civics teacher who will give you a higher grade for parroting their political point of view, you might have a point.
One of the better points of science and math is that it's not quite as subject to that sort of kiss-assery. When you answer "What's 2+2" with the number 4, your teacher can't dock you points because they don't like the way you wrote the 4.
" A label which captures this concept is 'Goodhart's Law' -- after economist Charles Goodhart, who posited in essence that 'when a measure becomes a target, it becomes useless.'"
I've seen a similar effect in places where I've worked. A poorly defined metric that is used to rate employee performance will suddenly become the primary focus of the job, instead of actually doing the job.
Just to help you out I've provided a translation for you.

Having 35 websites for gaming info is not going to make a more inclusive or civil society either.
Agreed. We need at least 40 for that to work.
It's a naive, domestic operating system without any breeding, but I think you'll be amused by its presumption.
