We’re living in a cyberpunk dystopia – as predicted by the greatest sci-fi novel of all
  • why has Silicon Valley defied its warnings?

    For the same reason any industrial sector defies warnings - PROFIT. Plus, money has the uncanny side effect of protecting you from the worst consequences of the problems you’ve caused.

  • yikes rule
  • I haven’t read the book. I’ve only read about it… but from what I know, I don’t think I’d go with “love story” either. Ick.

  • It's dessert time, what's your perfect post-dinner treat?
  • I’ll often choose an after-dinner drink, because I usually stuff myself during the main course. Maybe I’ll order an Espresso Martini. Or I’ll go full Dude and order a White Russian. Or whatever else looks good.

    When stumped, I’ll ask the server for a suggestion. I try to give them something to work with, like “sweet”, “creamy” or “citrusy”.

  • Oklahoma Prepares to Kill Another Man Who Says He’s Innocent
  • Meanwhile, fingernail scrapings taken from Cummings revealed an unknown male DNA profile and nothing from Rojem. This was potentially powerful exculpatory evidence. But a third jury, unaware of the DNA testing, resentenced him to die.
