I loved Beakman’s World. It was a more wacky version of Bill Nye.

Yep, I’ll take care of everything - just head down to the lot and pick it up. Best to go after hours.

Well…

The Marchi Mobile eleMMent Palazzo Superior (approx. $3 million) is a 45-foot, two-story mobile mansion with a master bedroom, spa-like bathroom, and over 730 square feet of space.

You’d pay a lot more than 25k for a 750 sq. ft. RV. Quick search suggests RVs typically range from 150-500 sq. ft, so this is 50% bigger than the largest model that range covers.

Maybe we should just use ‘Photoslop’ and combine the two.

I guess I’m suggesting that if you got kids used to using Linux, they’d be more likely to keep using Linux after graduating, on their personal computers. Nobody’s using ChromeOS for anything serious.

Imagine the technological shift we could see if they were similarly powered linux laptops vs. Chromebooks. Get kids used to linux in school and I bet we’d start seeing Windows losing much more significant market share.

And here I expected that link to lead to a certain highly controversial Penny Arcade comic.

It’s great because A) his parents presumably named him that knowing full well what they were doing and B) He could have chosen to go by Will, William, or Bill, but actively chose to use Willie professionally.

Yeah, that’s a lot less fun to imagine. :(

The thing about US exceptionalism is, it was fed to us all throughout grade school and even before. We had to recite the pledge of allegiance every day, for fuck’s sake. It’s something that has to be unlearned now, and a lot of folks just don’t want to, or don’t care to, or don’t even realize that it was a load of bullshit. Honestly the internet is probably the only exposure to other cultures most of us have (that’s certainly true for me), so folks who aren’t active in internet spaces other than, like, Facebook and whatnot might never have talked to anyone from another country in their whole lives.

The ruined alliteration is mildly annoying to me!

Beans, bacon, booze and… blubber?

Now I’m imagining a room full of people swallowing battery after battery to test this product.

I’m “lazy” in that same way and I always bring it up when I’m asked what my strengths are in interviews. I don’t like doing unnecessary work. I will be the one automating tasks and finding more efficient ways to do things while other people are wasting their time doing it the long way, purely because I want to waste less time on it.

Looks like a disembowelment.

Gee, I wonder if that’s got anything to do with the extreme enshittification the industry is seeing. It’s almost as though younger people are less likely to be able to afford increasingly expensive luxuries right now.

Until you open the door and decapitate him.

It’s “not a top priority”.

On the other hand, the platform isn’t large enough to support the body with B so there’s danger of it falling off or hurting people or whathaveyou. With A, you risk the head and neck falling down and hurting someone but the body, at least, is in a stable position.
