I’m not surprised it got a bad answer though. The government was completely dysfunctional by that point (and had been well over a year), I wouldn’t be surprised if it was just some random civil servant who was just told to weave a fig leaf at it.

There’s no way he actually said that. It’s correctly punctuated and there isn’t a single misspelling.

They should have gone the other route and just had the woman from 2 point Museum/Campus so it, complete with sarcastic remarks.

“The train is delayed, but you know that already”

There are probably tons of people who would pay to hear an AI version of their voice coming from the train speakers.

Yeah, but it needs to be clear, and as much as I love Dave from the pub, he tends to mumble.

Is this the weird football but not really game? I saw it advertised a couple of days ago and it didn’t seem to have a really awful camera.

Just by literally any of the other handheld PCS and just stick an emulator on it if you’re that interested in playing the games. The only reason to buy a Switch 2 is for convenience.

The military are actually trained though. There’s no point trying to train these guys they are military rejects.

The US military versus these guys would be more farcical than anything else.

That has to be a market for XXL bulletproof vests. Although it’s the US so that’s probably already a thing.

Vibe coding is an utterly stupid idea that just results in you not knowing how the code works.

I’m sorry but that capitalisation is really off-putting.

You’re Not Writing A Headline You Know

Federation is an overly complicated solution it’s not required. It also wouldn’t actually help, they can still take it off the app store there’d be another one but they would just play whack-a-mole and you can achieve the same thing with open source.

The best bet would be to have the database hosted outside the US and just have apps that pull the data from an API. There’s no need for the app itself to store the data in fact that’s a really stupid way to do it. You could federate it if you wanted but honestly that’s probably unnecessary

There was somebody else who works at the company I work at with the same name as me. I will often see my boss typing a message and it goes on for a very long time and then suddenly stops, that’s when everyone lies that right at the last minute she’s realised she’s messaging the wrong person.

I cannot say I find the experience overly distressing.

I think that might be the most Florida thing anyone has ever said.

Outdoor ones typically get made of material that doesn’t rust. But if it’s going to be inside they might as well make them out of nicer materials.

I’m pretty sure that most outdoor water fountains I’ve ever seen are actually made of concrete.

You get filters? I’m pretty sure ours is just from the main water supply I don’t think it goes to any filtering.

We had one of those at work. Sadly my campaign to have it stocked with vodka failed.

I still maintain it would have had a negligible effect on the quality of work. The boxes wouldn’t have been stacked as straight but other than that

The combat vest is because they really really want someone to take a shot at them because that way they can actually be the victim they envision themselves as.

If she just wandered around on the street not wearing anything no one would know who she was and would totally ignore her. That’s totally unacceptable so out comes the combat vest.

Honestly I think alligators would be less of a threat. Frankly they are easier to run away from and they’re not that big on object permanence.

If you go into a room and close the door they forget about you.

Yeah they won’t even discuss it, we’ll just get the same boilerplate response we got last time.

Surely the opposite should be true. It just shows that countries cannot leave the EU because it is far too damaging to their economy
