And there's a big bucket of water right below them. About two thirds of it is water.

That didn't bother me. The word "ancient" in front of it is what made me sad. Well, it made me feel old which then made me sad.

You think the moon landing was fake? Dude, the MOON is fake. It's an optical dilution created by the Stonecutters.

I was a VAX fan. Running VMS with uptimes in years. After I left the last job that used VAX system I toyed with the hobbyist VMS license on some VAXstations for a while, but alas it's all memories now.

She had four years to do so. She didn't. Face it -- none of the people involved will receive any jail time, except Maxwell, who's in minimum security and will most likely be out relatively soon.

At least be reasonable:

"If I was in charge, I would simply build an oil pipeline from the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of America."

What is this, a joke?

"A foreigner, a woman, and a black pilot walk into a spacecraft..."

I didn't even know Samsung had a Messages app. It must have come after my last Samung tablet purchase, a Tab 3 back around 2013 or so.

Exactly that. They can't Build Back Better until they destroy what currently exists.

Me, after getting out of prion for tax evasion: "ChatGPT, WTF, bro? The return to filed for me got me sent to prison!"
ChatGTP: "Whoops, you're right, man. My mistake. Let me fix that."

Even better, when the drunk driver crashes there's chance he'll kill the passenger, too, thereby eliminating more humans, reducing the human effects of climate change.

Oh, that would explain it. I was wondering why it would need periodic "calibration" because my only experience with such a thing was that a fellow student back when I was in college in the mid '90s had one, and it certainly wasn't internet connected. And I believe he had a friend (not me) blow into it at least once.
