This is actually kind of hilarious. He could basically be a character in the MaddAddam trilogy...
But what's particularly interesting is what he pulled off without the means that a giant pharma company could do. Like, if someone with those resources tackled this, maybe we really could have Jurassic Park

That only really works in a benevolent dictatorship. In a democracy, the masses can vote for reality-rejection candidates.
It's a pity democracy seems to be better than all the alternatives in practice, cause in principle there should be ways to improve things more. Inevitably though all other forms turn into draconian crap. Well, democracy does sometimes too, but less often.

I'm not sure this comic would be framed like this if created today. But the punchline would still work with a gang initiation backdrop or something.

This seems like a decent suggestion. Also, inexpensive and field repairable.
I have a 750m 0.75mm² wire on a spool that needs a quick disconnect connector of some sort on it so it can take it off in 250m lengths. But it has to handle the tension of being spooled up. Any ideas? In an ideal world it would be a male and female banana plug thing, but that wouldn't hold under tension. So I'm hoping you folks have ideas.

I really hope openAI implodes. I'm vindictive about their about-face on their original mission.

Alas, it seems there are no winners anymore. Just sides. I don't suspect this will end well for Iran in the long term.

Very possible. But wanted to presume bad coding over outright falsification.

Scrolling through the list. The timestamps are too regular, meaning it is interpreting a lot of ambient noise as music.

Yeah, that's a good option perhaps. I grabbed em recent because of a steam sale, but never played them before. Appreciate the rec :)

I've never heard of this, so it is perfect as a recommendation! Because now I have something to look into :)
Hey folks, looking for something that scratches an itch. I love the Tales series, but dislike the active combat system. So I'm looking for something in the vein that is low combat or turn based tactical combat. For comparison, I also enjoy Fire Emblem but wish it was more of an RPG. And have recently replayed Dragon Age: Origins (and wished it was turn based like BG3). In DaO I preferred exploring the Dwarven city over combat by a huge margin. Graphics don't matter. Depth of story matters. Ideas?
So I found this one season (26 episode) extremely campy sci fi TV show -- a low budget 2007 Canadian production -- called Grand Star. Watched a few episodes last night. OMG it's so terrible it is awesome. It's like a B-grade GameCube era JRPG got crossed with Snowpiercer. I can't stop watching it somehow. Anyone else seen this amazing piece of ... something? ;)
Rogers is somehow, impossibly, worse at customer service than Shaw, who were already terrible. Fuck the government for allowing these mergers and acquisitions to happen. Fuck the previous governments too. (This isn't a Liberal versus Conservative issue at all -- they all allowed this to happen.) The hoops they force you through to cancel your account should be illegal. The stores where you sign up for internet in the mall? Nope, sales only. All the local customer service options are gone. They claim I have a secret pin or phrase to access my account (which I never set up with Shaw when I created my account), so I can't deal with anyone over the phone. I basically cannot cancel my Shaw internet post-acquisition. Well, one of the guys at the store at least gave me some info on how to ship the modem back. Rogers only allows you to return your modem using Canada Post, and they don't provide a box -- only an account number. So I have to scrounge a box and go to Canada Post with an account number. I'm contemplating shipping my modem back in a refrigerator box out of spite. I'm thinking of just putting a chargeback on the VISA and forcing them to call me. Well, if it wouldn't affect my credit. Fuckers.
Just wanted to give a shout out to city services. That is all ;)
