they would just say “LOL NICE DIGITAL WINDOWS, THIS SHIT AINT REAL!!!1111ONEONEONE”.
“I’ll just open up this fake airlock door now.”

Besides the Covid vaccine, I also have consumed some dihydrogen monoxide. Shit.
Donald Trump doesn’t know how to operate a website
“Someone told me I need pipes for the website. We need to get the best pipes. Do they come in gold plate?”
“anyone who tried to harm the robot would be identified and arrested.”
But what if you sneak up and dress it like a Dalek, maybe with a speaker that yells out, “IT IS THE DOCTOR! EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!” That cannot possibly be a crime.
Besides the earthquake, there was also a literal rain of fire across the planet, like a blast furnace, that likely killed everything that wasn’t underground or underwater.
Instead of drilling a hole, another way to do it is to slam an asteroid on the other side of the planet.

Maybe all his companies are like this, it’s just the first one that’s been so public and shown his true colours.
I’m not going to look for it now, but there was a Twitter thread from last year that kind of talks about this.
Basically, SpaceX and Tesla are companies that grew up with Elon as an early investor, and have learned early on how to contain him. They institutionally have firewalls in place to keep him from wrecking the real work they’re doing, like dedicated Musk-handlers that slow walk his bad ideas until he changes his mind a few days later.
Twitter basically had none of those institutional firewalls, and could not container him with company culture.
Meanwhile, you have the Elon fanboys still pretending Twitter is doing better than it ever has.

Well, it is, if you’re a Nazi.
Suppose you were a business making, say, voting machines. It’s a good business – there are a lot of elections, they have to be tabulated, and you have a way of making that tabulation easier to do. You’re not going to be Google or Microsoft, but you’re in a comfortable niche.
Then comes a bunch of dumbfuck conspiracy theorists who accuse you of rigging the vote against their favored candidate. You’re not happy about this, but this is just a bunch of nutjobs. To some extent, what can you do? Then this major news organization takes up what those conspiracy theorists are saying, and they’re doing this to enrich themselves by putting out news that these dumbfucks like to hear. This amplification is damaging to your business (because it’s costly to defend yourself and you’re losing business anyway), and you can prove that this major news organization is doing this on purpose, for their own profit.
You sue that major news organization. Discovery is a delight, because these people really did know that there was no evidence for any of these conspiracy theories, but they kept repeating them over and over again, damaging your business.
Does this sound familiar? That’s why we have laws so that victims of libel can recover some of those damages.
Now, I’m not saying Musk is justified. Musk can go threatening to sue, etc., and I’m sure ADL lawyers would be delighted to argue before a judge to tell Musk to fuck off, since he really doesn’t have grounds to stand on.
Making the pee more expensive, yes.
And the BBC.
Frankly, all news organizations should run their own Mastodon servers as authoritative sources for their news articles and their reporters. Right now, with the ever changing badges on Twitter, they’re just Star-bellied Sneetches.
As a former sysadmin who hopped around to different machines to do stuff, I would hate it when I had to type on some developers’ computers, because they had set it up as Dvorak (vi on Dvorak is a special hell). Yes, it’s a more efficient keyboard as long as that’s the only machine you’re on. If you have to use different machines where most of the users are on QWERTY, you just use QWERTY.
Should that not be properly, “Oi, cunt!” ?
We can call everyone “Colonel”, a la Col. Sanders.
Constructive = one after another
I think you mean “consecutive”.
IIRC, the Soviets placed their primary artillery school and tank factories in Ukraine. As a percentage of the USSR’s military base, the Ukrainians were well above average.
On the other hand, the Simpsons did a not-so-funny-now with this:
Remember that the USSR included not just Russians but Ukrainians.
Actually it’s because we have sweat glands all over our bodies, which I think is unique among animals. Dog, for example, can only dump excess heat by heavier panting, whereas humans will just sweat more.
Some of us have more and more puissant sweat glands than others.
Eh, it’s easier for them to say it was mRNA shedding from vaccinated people hanging around his house.
