Both notions are pretty far out there tbh. There is nothing wrong with ethically produced pornography.

The sky looking better is just one thing. No more blackouts when there’s winds or thunderstorms or just stray branches is the real perk.

Interestingly, underground lines aren’t feasible in my hometown because of how close the water table is to the surface.

I’m 4 meters below sea level. We don’t have basements because the buoyancy of the empty space would cause the houses to literally float on ground water. But we do have buried power lines.

You are being lied to.

Overhead transmission lines are so 1950s.

Invest in your country.

Ngl the juxtaposition between “Pliny” and “Taco Bob” has me in stitches.

You are a pro cat namer.

Pliny is the one that’s supposed to travel, and then send you letters which range from “I saw a mountain just explode, yo” to “did you know aqueducts are like freakishly expensive” depending on whether he’s the older or the younger one.

In a subby gimp plaything kind of way.

He employs scientists. He’s just a billionaire pretending to have skills because he owns the people that do.

Sound familiar?

Egg-posting at its finest.

Don’t worry, you’ll figure it out.

Listen, Intel is fucked. It’s fucked right now, and getting bought out by someone else isn’t magically going to unfuck it. Saving the company is going to take money and effort.

We can also just let it go up in flames. No skin off my back.

Let’s start with what we’re not doing. We’re not handing out money to private investors in the old “socializing losses privatizing profits” bullshit we’ve been doing since the nineties.

So, if there’s a compelling national security reason to keep the company alive, we, the state buy it. Then we, the state, run it. We run it in a way that benefits our interests as owners and customers.

Maybe a few years down the line we can find a way to sell it (or our share in it) in a way that satisfies our national security requirements and makes us a load of money. This is not unheard of, see the acquisition and subsequent sale of ABN AMRO by the kingdom of the Netherlands.

Maybe split it up, write off some parts, sell some others, keep others.

Or we strip maybe it’s IP, and license it out to contractors to get the shit we need.

We can do whatever. We own it.

Maybe so. But keep in mind that part of being a good officer is making sure you are not put in a position where you have to issue orders your men are not going to follow.

Do you feel lucky?

Is this per account or for all accounts?

I actually expect the US Military to step in. Every member is sworn to uphold the constitution. But if the constitution has been discarded, then I’d expect them to step in to restore it.

Have you met the Oathkeepers?

If shit goes down, assume anyone with a uniform is going to throw in with the authoritarian despot.

Now I want to see a Dr House/marvel collab.

Windows is just the micro kernel running the actual operating system: Firefox.

Uhh no? Non-baptized souls go to limbo according to Christian theology.

As someone recently told me, they don’t worry about saving lives, they worry about saving souls.

You need to abide by the quaint rules of the magical sky daddy for that, even if they don’t make sense.

Not to be confused with “secular Christian”, which in popular parlance means “I hang around church for the community but I’m not spiritual”.
