Had A beer. One. Within 30 to 45 minutes I was throwing up everything I had eaten since I was 12. Was sick for 3 days.

Turns out, my liver doesn’t have the enzymes to correctly process alcohol.

Wow, I’ve never heard of that before.

It wasn’t “Stab it VR” right?

I think he means it would take six hours of walking to reach his city. I mean I live four miles outside of town (which incidentally I’d need to travel to to reach a railroad) and even though it’s smaller than 3000 people it still calls its self a “city”. Also I’d like to note it’s four miles of hilly terrain, which depending on season may feature hundred degree plus temperatures or foot deep snow.

Sticking your economy in crazy seems like a bad idea China.

At long last we’ve created killer drones from the cautionary short film “Slaughterbots”.

Of course, given how jank what we’ve decided to call “AI” is if you tried to make a real Slaughterbot it’d probably be blowing up random people or patches of the wall that it thought looked like a face.

The groceries in the passenger seat are a nice touch, because of course there’s gonna be no trunk space.

I honestly had to use a Gameshark code to get past it.

Thanks, fixed.

Fun thing about Chagas, the disease Assassin bugs transmit to gain their bodycount. Trypanosoma cruzi (the protozoa that cause the disease) has developed a nasty little trick where it’ll offload snippets of its DNA into the host organism. This will usually cause a auto-immune disease, both weakening the host and diverting some of the efforts of the immune system.

The interesting thing about this is one of the cells it can offload the DNA into are sex cells which means it becomes a heritable trait and becomes a part of the host genome. So there are naturally GMO humans out there with chunks of protozoa DNA in them… usually to their sorrow since the DNA is geared for causing auto-immune disorders.

Edit: Fixed typo.

the only lasting 9/11 memory i have is when the budweiser ad with the kneeling clydesdales came on during the super bowl and i said “those horses are praying to mecca” and my friend’s uncle got so mad that he had to go in the backyard

That’s hilarious.

Also god damn I’m old, 9/11 happened when I was in college.

I’m guessing Trump’s plan to end the war is “Back Russia and help Putin crush Ukraine.” Because (much like Trump’s own sycophants) he doesn’t realize that he’ll the first under the bus when his master no longer needs him.

Sephiroth. His look is basically the most generic bishy anime character you can make, his entire backstory can be boiled down to “mommy issues” and his motivations are the standard villain “destroy world/become god”. He’s just so bland.

Nah, Lincoln was thinner and less… bulbous. This guy looks more like Roger from American Dad roleplaying a used car salesman.

“Country threatens to kill civilians unless terrorists do as they say” Yeah, I’d say that’s not gonna work, but the whole point of this ultimatum is to justify the slaughter of Palestinians.

In the long run it’ll probably work out for Hamas too. Watching friends and family get murdered will probably radicalize a lot of folks and drive up recruitment.

Tesla should seek to oust Elon from the company.

They can’t. The only thing propping up the ludicrous stock price is the myth of “Elon Musk, Super genius” and the legions of Musk fanboys. If they kick Musk out they lose both and the stock will tank. So they’ve got to keep him in place, even as he runs the company into the ground.

Eh, at least this will reduce the amounts of PFAS being produced. I mean, teflon pans at least actually have a useful purpose, rather than things like PFAS coated burger wrappers.

The future is weird.

I dunno… When I go for a walk along the local highway in Spring (like now) I’ll usually see a dead bee around every… ten or twenty feet. And the bees are light enough that they get blown around by semi trucks passing, so they probably get blown off the road in short order.

It’s not so much that their out of ideas, it’s that they don’t want to take a chance on a new idea. Why take a risk on a unknown writer or producing what could be a revolutionary film when you can just regurgitate a movie that you know was already a hit before?
