(recorder clicks on) "It seems the diet consists...mainly of a waxy chunky substance...apparent preference towards bright primary colors."

Well they didn't want people getting the wrong idea.

This is a really cool shot! It has such a haunting vibe the film really lends itself to.

Ahh another sophisticated LetsGameItOut enjoyer. Right on. :D

"Got it, got it, goooot it..." (DrKonqi coredump) "Perfect!" (Fanfare)

self driving cars specifically because they can't strike.

Unless it's pedestrians, the backs of trucks, road signs, irregular barriers, animals....

Man I get paranoid about synchronization programs for this very reason. There's usually some turnkey easy-mode enabled as soon as you first launch that's like:

"Hey you wanna back up your entire NAS to your phone?! That'll be fun, right?!"

And you're like "...No."

And then it wants to obliterate everything so it's all "synchronized", often it's not easy to find a "No, stop, don't do anything at all until I configure this." Option.

iTunes was SO BAD about this.

Syncthing is the least-bad sync software I've ever run. It's got some footguns but it's still brilliant.

I would imagine there's still ways to back up version controlled software right?

Android at least has this neat app named TagSpaces... but yeah I really hate how the entire filesystem is basically Windows' "Documents" folder: Various apps just dump things wherever the heck they please!

Edit: Thanks for mentioning those really cool Linux tools!!

That's brilliant engineering but also...I wonder how common some kind of reverse-dud would be?

"Oh cool it's probably inert because that was MONTHS ag--"

So...it obvs doesn't directly impact / punish China like they're trying to say it would, right?

But is the idea that U.S companies would be incentivized to move manufacturing elsewhere? (Like domestically? HAHAHA YEAH RIGHT anyway...)

Guys should I be using my limited income to upgrade my equipment now before everything is like 30% hiked? :(

(No I'm not an expert in globo-economics)

This is sad, and I can see why they're telling him no.

Because chances of finding it are slim, and chances of finding him if he shovels himself into some kinda garbage-pile-sinkhole void are also probably pretty slim!

I feel this way about 3 binders of mint never-played OG Pokemon cards I collected as a kid. I remember them exactly. Had my name on the cover with stickers and everything. The box just disappeared when I had to move numerous times in a short period.

I often rack my brain and curse the loss, especially because right now I'm your statistical millennial struggling to make money appear. It would've been worth a lot. I kinda hate the idea of trading cards these days because of it lol.

(To be fair, I just hate speculative markets, the hobby that inevitably overtakes every other hobby like a Tyranid swarm)

But at this point, this poor guy seems utterly consumed by his own greed.

In the words of Sean Connery as Dr. Jones Sr. in "The Last Crusade":

"Lehttit goh, Shon."

Money is the root of all evil. Perhaps our mistake is not losing the rest of Bitcoin unrecoverable in a nameless landfill...

I think it also might scream volumes about our society, that someone is driven to obsessive madness over the value of an encased metallic platter full of code nobody can make tangible use of. People must chase after imaginary riches to feel secure.

(TINK!) "Reel it in!!"

"Soooo do you want the good news or the bad news...?"

I was going by the vagueness presented in the article but that's an entirely fair assessment, yeah!
