  • Imagine your the foremost expert in the world on tortoise mating and your settling into the theatre for the new hit movie, Jurassic Park.

  • Trump fires both FTC Democrats in challenge to Supreme Court precedent
  • The laws don't seem to matter. It takes too long to enforce them and then the damage is done. Afterwards, Trump pardons whoever he needs to, or calls it an "official act" and no one pays for it.

    This will be how our government will work for the foreseeable future. There will be a "cold war" on which administrations can weaponize this the most.

    • "How you doing this afternoon!"
    • "YEEAAAH!"
    • "I can't hear you. I said how you doing this afternoon!"
    • "...no..."
  • Do you guys read programming books? How do you make the most out of it?
  • Yes. I find it very difficult to get a complete knowledge of something just reading random articles and playing with it. For me, one of those giant books intended to document every little aspect has always helped fill the gaps, and take my working knowledge up to expert level. It's getting harder to find those kind of quality books though.

  • Is Pliny "The Elder" or "The Younger"?

  • You’ve never heard of the Covid booster with the fewest side effects

  • Justin Baldoni Dropped From WME After Blake Lively Files Complaint Accusing Him of Sexual Harassment
  • WME is his agent company. Dude barely had a career starting and he's seemingly sunk it completely by being an asshole.

  • Any one else have absolutely wild dreams?
  • Usually no, but the last 2 days, yes. They have involved very accurate plays of songs I don't normally listen to (which I can't remember ever dreaming about before). The first was "9 to 5" by Dolly Parton. I was in a bar and it was being played. Heard every note for about 30 seconds. There was a guy in the band whose role was to suck smoke out of a dish with a slab of dry ice in it and blow it into a microphone.

    The second song was "Only the Lonely" by Roy Orbison. I've maybe heard this song 3 times in my life I think. But it seemed note perfect. The situation was I was hanging out with 3 people I called The Performer, The Guy, and The Lonely. The first two guys had to leave and... cue the song.

    EDIT: cue... thanks SpaceNoodle

  • All it takes is money to hire someone who is capable.

  • What is this rule, some kind of Suicide Squad?
  • I suppose if this were real, the charging warriors must all think they can glance the pike off their shield and barrel through. However, they end up glancing it to the left or right, surprising the warrior next to them who gets stabbed. They themselves get stabbed by the pike being glanced by the warrior next to them.

    Assuming an equal number of front line charging warriors to pike soldiers, if charging warriors all glanced left or all glanced right, there would be 1 charging warrior left unharmed.

    However, if every 2nd charging warrior agreed to sacrifice the guy between them and both glance towards him, 2N / 3 warriors could survive to fight on. The middle guy would also have to agree to not attempt to block the pike. He'd have to just run into it. But that is optimal I think.

    I need a new car, and I really want to go full electric. I'm wondering if anyone regrets buying one? What are the downsides?

    What are some fun ways to prank an asshole neighbor I'm moving away from?

    Not really me. A friend of mine is moving out of state. His neighbor has been a total dick the entire time he's lived there. Constantly commenting on how my friend's yard isn't as good as his. Mean to my friend's wife and kids for no reason. Just an asshole of a person.

    What are some ideas for fun pranks my friend can leave behind?

    Anyone else having trouble with videos?

    Most don't load for me. Just get a black screen. The ones I've checked were mp4s from imgur. Not sure if that accounts for all of them though.

    Edit: I think it started after the most recent update. Edit 2: mp4s from catbox.moe also doesn't work. It shows a spinner at the bottom but never loads.

    Madame Web toilet flush

    Since it recently hit Netflix, I decided to see just how bad Madame Web really is.

    45 second in, while showing the ever-present Marvel logo with the flipping comic book pages, I notice the sound effect is different. It vaguely sound like pages flipping, but it's definitely a toilet flushing.

    Did they buy into the bad reviews and literally decide to say: "check out this turd of a movie" with the intro sound?

    www.reuters.com Pfizer is sued by Texas over COVID vaccine claims

    Pfizer has been sued by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who on Thursday accused the drugmaker of misrepresenting the efficacy of its widely-used COVID-19 vaccine.

    Pfizer is sued by Texas over COVID vaccine claims

    This all revolves around conservatives focusing on ARR instead of RRR numbers on vaccine efficacy. Here's a description I found of the difference from another article:

    > Let’s say a study enrolled 20,000 patients into the control group and 20,000 in the vaccine group. In that study, 200 people in the control group got sick and 0 people in the vaccine group got sick. Even though the vaccine efficacy would be a whopping 100%, the ARR would show that vaccines reduce the absolute risk by just 1% (200/20,000= 1%). For the ARR to increase to 20% in our example study with a vaccine with 100% efficacy, 4,000 of the 20,000 people in the control group would have to get sick (4,000/20,000= 20%).
