Fruit Loops!
  • Yeah and everyone who ever ate it was like "oh god, no" and immediately came out with a better cereal.

    Like corn flakes. Itty bitty tortilla chips make a better cereal than fucking grape nuts.

  • Helene flooding in Swannanoa, NC
  • They rarely get hurricane direct hits, but deal with the remnants of major hurricanes a lot. Not many homes are storm proofed like you'd see in Florida though. Clearly their city storm sewer infrastructures are not equipped to deal with the combination of a high annual rainfall followed by a deluge like this.

    Edit: I want to clarify that Eastern NC is more prepared than out west, the eastern half sees stronger hurricane remnants more often than out west, where they still get them but they're weaker from the mountains. Not this time, apparently.

  • I swear they're monitoring NCD for ideas
  • It is public and (relatively) common knowledge that an Abrams tank can fire accurately at speed over rough terrain by postponing the firing of a shell by just a fraction of a second until the gyroscopes and computers determine that tank is "floating" at the apex of a bump.

    That tech has existed since the 1980's.

    The implementation shown in this gif may be noncredible, but the concept most certainly belongs in the other place.

  • Google AI making up recalls that didn’t happen
  • So much this. The whole point is to annihilate entire sectors of decent paying jobs. That's why "AI" is garnering all this investment. Exactly like Theranos. Doesn't matter if their product worked, or made any goddamned sense at all really. Just the very idea of nuking shitloads of salaries is enough to get the investor class to dump billions on the slightest chance of success.

  • You think Linux is living a Renaissance with Gaming and New Non-Technical Users?
  • With every update Windows becomes more annoying.

    With every update Linux Mint (and every distro) becomes more refined.

    There are still gaps; HDR isn't really there yet, never mind Dolby Vision... but if all you want is a PC that acts right and doesn't piss you off with ads and upsells... honestly, a default Linux Mint install is at least as good as Windows at this point.
