For this you could have a timer on the thing you set when you start it up and can then walk away from. You don't need the damn net to have a clock in the appliance.

Same. The principal and vice principals at the last high school I attended were also the football coaches. Going to them about how the jocks were kicking the shit out of me for being too nerdy and queer for their tastes got me that same "just keep a lower profile" bullshit from the highest authority figures in that dump.

Rule 1 is "No bigotry," and trying to force rules and speech limitations imposed by your own religion onto those who don't share them seems like a pretty bigoted thing to do.

Me to a bookstore clerk: There's this book I'm looking for about "Star Trek: Enterprise."

Clerk: ISBN?

Me: A LONG ROOOAD getting from there to here...

Séamas O'Reilly: "I hate that writers and artists must suffer the indignity of being pickpocketed by the richest men who’ve ever lived." (www.irishexaminer.com)
 

Excerpt:

I hate all of this in almost every way a thing can be hated. I hate the factless waffle that surrounds Big AI’s every improbable goal. I hate how insipidly stupid, or just plain evil, those goals so often are, and the yawning chasm between them and any form of achievable reality. I hate that Big AI’s successes are inflated and its failures ignored — or are even categorised as hilarious mis-steps, like when AI chatbots tell people to eat poisonous mushrooms, put glue on pizza, or make air diffusers from chlorine gas.

I hate that Big AI consumes so much energy that every time you generate a six-fingered portrait of Anne Frank or a scene from the Vietnam war in the style of Studio Ghibli, you might as well just kill a polar bear with a crossbow. I hate that it can run roughshod over every copyright law and environmental protection on the planet in pursuit of the data it needs to continue failing, with no consequences save for the enrichment of the worst people on Earth, who have managed to make all of this magical bullshit seem sensible to an intellectual class comprised of people I wouldn’t trust to print an email.

Five-panel comic strip made by photographing action figures and plastic props. Panel 1: Geordi La Forge and William Riker from "Star Trek: The Next Generation" at the Transporter Room console. Riker: "Beam up Mr. Brown, Geordi." La Forge: "Aye, Commander." Panel 2: La Forge is operating the console. LaForge: "Something's interfering with the transport. The Heisenberg Compensator is fluctuating. It's too late to cancel." Panel 3: Riker and La Forge at the console. Riker: "Can you correct the problem?" La Forge: "We're about to find out. Materializing now." Panel 4: closeup shot of a smiling Charlie Brown from "Peanuts" on the transporter pad. Charlie Brown: "Is everything okay, Commander La Forge? That felt strange." Panel 5: a wider shot of the transporter revealing an angry-faced Charlie Brown on the pad next to the smiling one. Angry Charlie Brown: "Good grief." Caption in the style of a "Star Trek: The Next Generation" episode title: "It's a Transporter Accident, Charlie Brown" Creator credit: ToyBoxComix.com

A two-panel comic strip. Panel 1: Sluggo and Nancy are swimming, visible above the waterline from the shoulders up. Sluggo's speech bubble says, "This is Labor Day - Let's give the boss an easy strip to draw." Nancy's speech bubble says, "Okay." Panel 2: As before but the characters have dunked themselves further underwater, leaving only the tops of their heads visible in the featureless water. A speech bubble emanating from Ernie Bushmiller's artist signature says, "Thanks, kids."
