Eagerly awaiting the resurrection of Serdar Argic and Ludwig/Archimedes Plutonium.

Sorry, didn't see the paywall, script blocker blocked it.

Search for the phrase "Then they reached down to grab a handful of dirt to begin to form a man" and you will find many sites with this joke. At least one of them should be without a paywall.

After discovering how to clone humans, two scientists challenged God:

"We don't need you anymore," they said. "We can make life by ourselves now."

"Okay," God replied, "let's have a man-making contest."

"All right," said the scientists. "We'll do it like you did in the beginning." Then they reached down to grab a handful of dirt to begin to form a man.

Then they heard God's voice from heaven: "Hold it - get your own dirt!"

It's 11 in my bible.

1) Use solar, hydro, wave-power, etc. so there is no or very little incremental carbon cost
2) Offset the amortized carbon-cost of setting up the green-power-plant and any small incremental carbon cost by planting forests or buying carbon offsets.

There you go, net zero.

The state law prevents local governments from taking actions that affect them.

In other words, the higher-level government is telling the lower-level government what it must or in this case must not do.

Think the problem is certain individuals have told Trump that (white) Americans are smarter than anyone else, and he's stupid and vain enough to believe it - after all, the Very Stable Genius is a white American.

... which major American political party claims it is in favor of local control?

If so, it's a win in my book.

Running Linux in containers under Windows is like hauling your Porsche around in a dumptruck.

... and China has hundreds/thousands of government-sponsored hacking teams. Nah, I'm sure there's no connection there.

Same, sadly.

It's fine for our developers but apparently too damn tricky for mere mortals like myself.

I honestly can't recall the last time I ran a windows app on my Mint box...I think maybe I was trying to install Snagit a couple of years ago, but it wouldn't install properly.

Another fabulous use of AI to umm, errr, "fuck shit up".

Oh? Didn't know that. They still make spring steel in Switzerland?
