Oh, me. I wasn't really talking to that thread. Actually on Slashdot it seems I'm mostly just trying to clarify my own thinking.

You were defeated by Slashdot's lack of Unicode, but when I first heard it I think she was from Thailand.

It's comedy gold, so you should care. Comedy pyrite for me.

Time to try again to laugh it off! Who said dupes are bad? (It's only potentially funny until the stock market overreacts and wipes out lots of smiles.)

So a thinking man goes bald from the front. A great lover goes bald from the top. Jensen Huang is going bald from the front and top because he thinks he's a great lover.

Two angels are talking:
"Why is gawd in such a foul mood today?"
"He thinks he's Jensen Huang thinking that he's Elon Musk."

Needs an STD joke here as a linkage to the doctor joke... Left as an exercise for the reader, because I don't know enough about sex, so I have to jump directly to Huang's visit to the doctor:

"Doc, what does it mean when I have vivid dreams about searching for a urinal?"
"Depends."

Gimme Funny! Pretty please and all that jizz? [sic]

Then the YOB had to go and top all of my combined best efforts with the brilliant quip about Tim Apple nee Cook taking over at NVIDIA. Terrible fathers make the best = worst dad jokes?

But I still didn't get a Funny mod point, even for my longer effort at what was then the end of the discussion. The bald doctor bit... Followed by a sick Jobs attempt, but that turd is still fresh so maybe it will get the Funny?

Definitely not gonna hold my breath waiting for better moderation, however.

Eh? Who to about what?

What? My very best effort and I didn't even get a Funny?

After the first joke I should have transitioned to a joke with the punchline "Gawd thinks he's Jensen Huang imagining that he's Elong [sic] Musk." Then a segue joke about STDs leading into the doctor joke.

Doesn't matter. Because the YOB already topped me with the joke about Tim Apple nee Cook taking over as head of NVIDIA. Even though I have a better idea: Steve Jobs. They can use all this AI to create a GAIvatar of Jobs and run all management questions past the GAIvatar. After lighting the appropriate amounts of incense, of course.

Too bad and unfunny that all my humor is so weakly derivative. Bad dad humor is predictive of poor parenting skills? "Not that I know of!!

If a man goes bald from the front, then he's a great thinker. If he goes bald from the top then he's a great lover. Huang is going bald from the top and front because he thinks he's a great lover.

Huang went to see his doctor the other day:

"Doc, what's it mean when I'm having vivid dreams of desperately searching for a urinal?"

"Depends."

I'm here all week. I recommend the Uzbeki piilaf.

If every guy who ever had an affair got the sack the churn would be unbelievable

Then perhaps men shouldn't be so weak and stop cheating on their wives.

Marriage is a contract. If you break that contract you need to be penalized.

Okay, change my attempted joke to "We live in a post-morality world" and mod parent Funny.

Though your number is wrong. Or you have a specific example in mind? Most of the example cases I can think of in recent history involve at least hundreds of thousands of deaths. But most people aren't like that, as evidenced by the missing hood emblems... So there are still some traces of morality among us.

We live in a post-ethics world. What are they complaining about?

I also have no idea what sort of vacuousness would lead to the original Subject. Is the OP perhaps claiming that's the only way he ever got laid? Then the attempted joke could make some sort of sense? But I think I'm the passed master of failed joke attempts, and I have no idea. (Versus the past master? Because I was an email postmaster a couple of times?)

But that's a problem which only appeared when UPS systems and large battery storage grew beyond a certain threshold. For a long time, it was fine to have the system checking the battery every minute, because not many battery systems were deployed to begin with and even less were constantly online and synchronized via NTP. And at some point in time, a single battery was added which was the last straw to break the camel's back.

Map of agricultural production changes in the nuclear winter following a minor nuclear exchange, posted for no particular reason.

(For a full-scale exchange...)

Also, for no particular reason, a map of Russia's population distribution, alongside a reminder of Russia's nuclear missile failure rate, particularly booster failures. And that nuclear warheads have been commonly lost disturbingly often even during peacetime, with at least seven weapons from four incidents lost in flight landing in a way that left them fully intact and easily reparable, just from the US alone. And that Ukraine is rich in nuclear engineers, including still some retirees who worked in the Soviet nuclear weapons programme.

There's also this myth that "if you just use a nuclear weapon, you automatically win the war". Nuclear weapons are immensely effective terror weapons, but their effectiveness on the front is a lot weaker than most people think. People on frontlines tend to be in trenches, bunkers, basements, armoured vehicles, etc, and can be surprisingly close to a tactical nuclear blast while still surviving. They're effective against hard points but struggle against a broad, diffuse front (aka, today's front, which is a sparsely populated, deep, amorphous zone, thanks to drones). Amortizing Russia's estimated budget for tactical nuclear weapons comes up with ~$15-25M per weapon (not counting the delivery system), so they're hardly a dime a dozen either.

IF, via terror bombing or threats of terror bombing, you can convince your enemy to surrender, then congratulations, you have won (enjoy your nuclear waste heap and restive population who wants nothing more than to kill you). If they do not, however, their only goal remaining will be to focus 100% on using their extensive nuclear waste supplies rich in plutonium, their extensive long-range strike weapon supplies, and their extensive metallurgical experience, to render your major cities to ash in the same way that you did theirs.

(I also just assume herein that Ukraine doesn't actually have a secret nuclear weapons programme already, which is certainly an assumption).

I look forward to the unplanned broadcast of Swan Lake.

But the Microsoft forums were quite useful. At first.

Greedy bastards always have to gut the golden-egg goose.
