This is so insulting… to anyone with a knob. I don’t want a JD Vance in my pants, neither literally nor metaphorically.

Because the intelligence sharing network would instantly gain the nickname ‘Speccy’.

Think you’ll find ‘Charleston Heston’ was the dance number performed to, “Don’t it Taste just like your Mammy’s?”, in the musical version of Soylent Green.

1984: Freedom is the freedom to say 2 + 2 = 4.

2024: Freedom is the freedom to say, “Notice me senpai!” to an orange haemorrhoid.

French Tripods? Ulla-la.

Former President Donald J Trump has more important things on his mind when he wakes up. Like saving the economy, securing the borders, and hoping his bladder holds out while playing his daily game of hunt the mushroom.

Whilst that’s a possible explanation, correlation does not imply causation. There are many other potential contributing factors (increased loneliness, economic hardship, acceptability of suicide, changes to how deaths by misadventure vs suicide are recorded, etc) and more research will be needed to identify which, if any, played a role in the observed change.

Realcalc has an excellent RPN mode (enabled through Calculator Type in Settings). I’ve used it for the last six years or so (technically, in the premium version of the app).

I use BetterOpenWith. It lets you set defaults or gives you a selection of apps to choose from for a wide variety of file types / protocols:

After the longest drought in recent memory, some over at deathlist.net see Jimmy Carter as the key log to unleash a torrent of deaths in the latter half of 2024…

Nobody is asking for it, but that’s not the purpose: the purpose is to stir up opposition.

I suspect a significant portion of the population will be indifferent to the proposal. At best, they’ll shrug and say, ‘Sure, makes sense if that’s what’s needed,’ without bothering to think it through fully.

More liberally minded people react with justified opposition to the proposal. At that point, the Conservatives will rally the indifferent against ‘the woke’. They hope to gain support by convincing people they have a common enemy.

Or, AIs who are programmed not to lie will start writing, “Hi, I’m AI,” to avoid detection.

To be fair, the workers were probably used to calling it Twitterylene.

It’s only erased £85b when you consider the £300m we’re saving every week /s

I think the median average temperature is around 2,200°C.

The Earth has a radius of 6,371km, giving a volume of 1.08e13km^3.

A sphere of half this volume would have a radius of 5,057km. Within the Earth, this sphere would sit at a depth of 6,371 - 5,057 = 1,314km.

From this chart, the temperature at that depth is around 2,200°C, so half the volume of the Earth has a temperature above that, and half a temperature below it.
