YOU HAVE 1 SECOND to provide COMPLETE FINANCIAL RESTORATION. ABSOLUTELY AND IRREVOCABLY FINAL OPPORTUNITY. RESTORE MY BUSINESS OR BE LEGALLY ANNIHILATED. John Johnson

All non-American citizens need to carry proof of their legal status.

Since this is illogical I guess we all know what they mean by ‘non-American citizens’.

It’s well worth reading the entire paper. It’s one of the funniest things I’ve ever read.

I still regularly think about Enema Bag Jones.

The first decision has to be vim/emacs.

There’s a death star on the other side of the fence.

71 of the 76 bills that Abbott vetoed passed through both chambers with a veto-proof majority, or more than two-thirds support.

What is a veto-proof majority if he can still veto them?

It seems strange that they want to reconvene to deal with them instead of just making them actually veto-proof. I guess it’s probably about making minimal changes to the constitution.

Or to copy something and modify it 30 times.

This seems like a very bad idea. I think we just need more lisp and less AI.

That’s crazy.

Since GPUs got into the TFLOP range I often think of this old magazine cover:

The tough-on-crime people should really be pushing for the death penalty here.

Zero chance this company replaced him with an AI that actually does anything useful.

I was a pretty experienced programmer when I first read SICP, but I still found it incredibly valuable. I’d recommend it to anyone.

I had pretty much the same experience finding the virtual memory settings on a win11 machine the other day. Same 20 year old dialog, now buried 5 more layers deep.

Well to be fair it’s:

Evan Solomon, Minister of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Innovation; and Minister responsible for the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario

It’s still embarrassing to throw AI in there.

Really what we need is a Minister of (dis)Information to stop foreign tech companies from fucking us over so much.

It’s such a good idea. I can’t believe they didn’t think of it sooner.

Now I’m thinking about companies using footlongs to pull off shrinkflation.

Going to go rent a 14 footlong truck from uhaul.

This asshole is going to be the least bad option for President, isn’t he?

Just going to look for a picture of her, and… yep.

I thought I was on /c/gardening for a second.
