I'm not familiar with that game, but this story does remind me of Missile Command.

Only 1.25 Trillion compared to the nearly 20 trillion in debt Trump put on the country.
Go fuck yourself.
#1 in homelessness? Wouldn't be that way if lying ass red states weren't one-way busing people over here. Yea we're picking up YOUR fucking slack, loser.
#1 in Poverty? Uh you mean Puerto Rico, followed by Louisiana and then Mississippi.
#1 in highest taxes? On $100,000 income, Alaska ranks #1 with the lowest total tax while Oregon has the highest. California ranks #41.
#1 in lowest literacy rates? Nope! Most people can READ THEIR NATIVE LANGUAGE. They are not illiterate. Language is the primary driver of NOT KNOWING ENGLISH versus schooling.
Lying ass Republican fucks.
Look, you didn't get the memo. Stay on message. It's the democrat governor.
I'm curious as to what the "pollution control" measure are that the article alludes to being the possible reason for the fires ignition....
What are these measure....should they be stopped/altered?
You're overthinking this.
The top of the blame flowchart starts with: "If state has democrat governor: blame democrat governor; Goto end."
"Blame the environmentalists" is several layers down in the other branches of the flowchart.

They're destined for West Texas, where gas companies will pay you to take the natural gas they have to burn off otherwise. They are installing private natural gas turbines to power these things. Amazon is building a huge one as we speak. What's halted is connections to the grid, the off-grid ones are marching along unabated, and there are a lot of them.
Astra correctly answers all 10 questions in the $2000 lightning round!
And now on to the final round. To win $32,000 cash, a brand new Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser, and an all-expense paid vacation for two to Puerto Vallarta, all you have to do is answer this single question to the satisfaction of our judges:
The Riemann Hypothesis: True or False?
"we all know damn well why we limit gambling to one city in one state of the union."
Except we do not. Most states allow social casinos and many have a state lottery.
Google has been slowly fucking Google Earth desktop so they can push you to the less-featured web and mobile versions where you pay to have your dataset hosted online instead of on your device and have AI incorrectly interpret shit you're doing.
Google's investors and C-suite need to get placed in an octagon with a pride of lions.
Tim Waltz is a criminal mastermind. He's been hacking other states' water so that he can keep all 10,000 of his lakes topped off at the expense of hard working Americans.
Changing out running code on the fly probably increases the number of corner cases by an order of magnitude.
What could possibly go wrong?
Crashes are now rare in general. When I was a kid, it seemed like there was a major air crash in the US almost annually. I may be wrong, but I don't remember a full-sized airliner (bigger than a regional jet) having a catastrophic crash in the US since shortly after 9/11 when that Airbus lost its tail and crashed in NYC. (Being a natural pessimist, I find this outcome hard to believe and would have lost a good deal of money if I had bet on it.)
However, there still continue to be a large number of hard landings, runway slideoffs, engine fires, cabin fires and other emergency situations where the passengers still need to evacuate quickly because their lives are at risk. (Not to mention the "Miracle on the Hudson".) The safety briefings are still relevant in all those situations.
Did it grow legs, plug in an Ethernet cable, proceed to leave the building and push the nearest senior citizen in front of a bus? These things don't do things on their own. It's just a bunch of static floating-point numbers memory-mapped into VRAM. What they do is take an input (ver much NOT on their own) and derive instruction context from that input. That input may say to "keep trying" until "something" happens. If no ground rules are provided, the calling harness will loop-and-loop-and-loop looking for a way to make that "something" happen. So to be clear, nothing happened on its own and it certainly didn't set its own goal. Someone prompted it to do “something," and the path it derived to achieve that "something" happened to go through a combination of known exploit vectors that targeted HF. So much nonsense and fearmongering. Know what the ultimate defenses against a harness and model are? Unplug the machine and yank out the network cable. The level of ignorance on the news about how these things are pure black magic is just off the charts.
I stopped using Rust because the compiler is an unmitigated pain in the ass. I'm not a 5-year-old. I know damn well when something is safe. If I have to tag everything unsafe to access memory in an optimal way, then what is Rust bringing to the table other than frustration? I moved over to Zig, which is much C-like, produces faster, smaller, and arguably just as safe binaries, and also happens to support C-FFI and cross-compilation out of the box. There is literally no advantage Rust has over Zig for C programmers.
