That use of Beastie Boys hurts my very soul....

Not to mention in my work, I live and die in presentations delivered over Zoom. One monitor has to show what my customers are seeing as I present to it, and another (not shared) contains the side channel conversations so that the other people in my company involved in these presentations can be...

Would you buy a normal ICE car that would call home to decide if you could put gas in it? Or if you could only put in low grade fuel as opposed to better fuel?

The point would be to reverse engineer not just the base OS but the WHOLE thing so you could access all the cars features. But then control the unruly things in the OS you didn't approve of. There are a lot of android phones you can drop a new base image on and actually have a MORE functional...

I wonder what the over/under on time until someone "jailbreaks" a Tesla and installs their own OS on it..... Pretty sure I've already seen it done at DefCon, but that's rarely an easy to repeat in the field type of hack.

It went sideways.... https://babylonbee.com/news/disaster-on-mandalorian-set-as-lizzo-eats-baby-yoda

Essentially a bunch of ubquitous cold storage wallets. Yes, I see that becoming a thing. In a way we have something approaching that right now with the pre-paid debit cards. You can go to Walmart, get a card, put money on it, then use it as a debit card. Tons of people do this. That's...

I think we've all seen this coming for a while. They need to control the currency to control everything else. Defi and proper crypto directly threaten that because they aren't fungible enough for the desires of a central bank. They give people freedom to do what they want with their money...

This is kinda odd and I still don't understand it but... We have a large LG set in our living room, around 2 years old. We attached an OTA antenna and get a shitton of channels of which only a few are useful (unless you want to watch NCIS 24/7). But then at the end of the OTA channel listing...

Yeah. Doom Patrol Cyborg is definitely the best Cyborg. Aside from that I still don't take him as Blue Beetle. It's like they just NEEDED to recycle a name/concept. But they weren't able to really weave into the existing mythos, so they just decided to make a new character and make his...

.... when things that would have had you stoked beyond belief as as 12 year old are now "well what the hell am I going to do with that?" situation. Case in point, just emptied the bowl where I accumulate change, rolled the quarters, everything else I just dump in a coinstar. And I realized how...

You know you're getting old (on here) when.... https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/502377/jug-life-history-kool-aid-man Makes you nostalgic for the "good ol days"

I'm not saying he's going to turn out a shit movie here. I'm saying he's going down a dark path which probably won't "feel good" to a fanbase who have seemingly gone to these movies for "turn off your brain and feel good about it" entertainment. Serenity for instance was a great movie, but...

So far everything I'm seeing on this one says "Hello, I'm James Gunn and since I realize I'm done with this toy I'm going to burn it down in the way that makes you hurt the most because I really wanna be more like Joss Whedon" Anybody else getting that feeling from the trailers and all the...

Well we can at least tell they aren't Jewish..... Related... Did You Know.... Pillsbury makes a corn dog wrap for use at home? The shocker is, they're actually pretty damn tasty. Great for making morning sausage rolls.

The trick is.... they won't have a choice if enough of the global population goes behind it. And BRICS already represents something like 4x the population of NATO. Western world doesn't want to play ball? That's their problem if you have a stable set of producers and consumers all using it.

Multiple places I've heard "If only they'd cast Gina Carano..." in that role.

China has, for some time, been accumulating and hording up gold, so has Russia to a certain degree. In China you can go into the country to mine gold, they encourage it, but they only allow you to sell your gold to the government, and they aren't spending it anywhere right now.... Wouldn't...

I don't really want to go see this movie. But if any of the local theaters have these I will walk in long enough to buy an overpriced bucket of popcorn... That is a popcorn bucket sized d20 that opens up to store popcorn....

You sir, have not played in the groups I have then....

Don't worry, in the video release extended edition they'll make sure to confirm that when the female druid wildhsapes it's into a MALE owlbear. You're so gonna see Owlbear cock... MASSIVE... OWLBEAR... COCK....

Spoilered thoughts on spoilered thoughts....

I have been seriously considering this for how I have them dispose of my body once I'm done using it. Originally it was going to be a peach tree, as that's my favorite fruit. But my wife likes pecans so I am considering that. Also for the fact that then my headstone can read "As you stand...

As someone who rolled an Investigator in the last Pathfinder campaign I was in, and essentially played him as half Indigo Montoya and half Antonio Banderas Puss in Boots I feel highly targeted here sir. ;) DM and I even set it up so that I was doing his RP in a semi ridiculous Spaniard accent...

You don't get the point here. 9mm is a perfectly functional caliber. Hell, several guns I own are chambered in 9mm, and I have perfectly wonderful defense rounds for use in them. I'm building a PPC chambered in 9mm right now in fact. I'm not talking about functionality. In the John Wick...

Yep, not gonna say it wasn't one sexy ass gun. But if you're targeting maximum gun porn-age why not also chamber it in a sexy caliber? It's like describing a perfect sex kitten and rounding it off with "she has modest B cup breasts"

I kinda have to agree with this in regards to the missing hour. Put it back in. then...

Well....

Oh yeah, this is firmly in "you have to accept they're in a universe where humans are ASTOUNDINGLY more durable" among other things.. But if you can't hit that level of suspension of disbelief then I don't think any of the Wick movies are really right for you. ;)

Saw a new and completely different trailer for this before John Wick where essentially they spent the whole trailer trying to convince you that this is "The most Chris Pine Movie ever!!!!!" I weep for the numbers it's looking like it's going to pull because I really did want it to do well.

Just saw this today. Very solid. Went in wanting Gun Fu, got Gun Fu. Went in wanting to see the good doggo, saw good doggo. Was John Wick in fact John Wicking all over the place? Yes. Was Ian McShane going all Ian McShane? Absolutely! And was Laurence Fishburn massively hamming it up, most...

Yes, but in the mean time between now and then there has to be a transitory period. Just as there was a point in time where places would work in barter or in those fancy new "coin" things. In that case the forces of trading furs are doing everything they can to keep people from adopting coins...

It's all still coming around to what the Spank folks are hitting. So long as to survive it has to turn into dollars , then all you have to do it attack the on and off ramps. That will starve the ecosystem. And any real world thing you might think to buy with crypto is a real world business...

Dude... that's not a hard fix. I've had one go out on a chair. That kit, and around 15 minutes of your time... POOF.. Jimmies unrustled. If you want to REALLY pimp your ride, also check out these bad boy rims... Now for this weekend I have a more interesting tale of Rustled Jimmies...

At this point, If you don't have enough for a "shit has blown up and we're living disconnected from technology" plan you're not doing it right... I have some spare $10,000 paper money bands if people need (they come in "you'll never see this much money in one place" level quantities when...

Funny, I don't remember penning a memoir of my dating life in the 80's.... Unrelated, #notallheroeswearcapes
