  • “Sure would be a shame if you broke the law and fired people for unionizing and something had to happen to your boiler.”

  • Cool. Directly violating the first amendment is fun.

  • I can make it better by changing it to Heart and Soul by Huey Lewis and the News. Which does contain the lyric, “She’s hot and cold” but also contains the lyric, “hot lovin’ every night,” and so is infinitely better.

  • For what it’s worth, you wouldn’t be on one of these anyway. I don’t believe the MD-11 operates as a passenger plane these days. It’s useful for freight companies who don’t care quite as much about fuel efficiency, but for passenger airlines there are far better options.

    Also this is a McDonnell-Douglas fuckup, one Boeing did warn the operators about.

  • True, you make a good point.

    I did know I was referring to an apocalyptic scenario rather than an emergency one. The giveaway was that I was replying to this comment:

    Yeah... if I am trying to reach people tens of miles away during The Apocalypse, I am already dead.

    🙂

  • What about after surviving the initial disaster? During the rebuilding? Or the ongoing survival?

    Long-distance radios are useful as hell in stuff like The Last of Us.

  • It’s a lectern.

  • At least we still have A1.

  • Apple TV is a great service. It’s like Netflix pre-Enshittification. You don’t need Apple devices to use it.

    Also you can just pirate it.

  • I strongly recommend the podcast Sold a Story about the way reading has been taught in the US. It may help you, believe it or not. It’s also just fascinating. You can find it wherever podcasts are on offer.

  • They really should anyway. The Switch showed almost a decade ago how popular the handheld form factor can be when powerful enough, and the Steam Deck has capitalized on that beautifully. At this point a significant component in my purchasing of games is looking for that “Steam Deck Verified.”

  • Who redacts the redactmen?

  • I have a good friend who is Venezuelan. He said, the political situation in the US aside, most Venezuelans are celebrating (but cautiously).

    Maduro had lost the last election but just decided to stick around anyway.

    I’m not upset about this because Maduro was a good dude or anything. He wasn’t. I’m upset because it’s a blatant violation of the international order and is basically just old-school imperialism.

    Fuck Maduro, fuck Trump.

  • Or maybe they just actually know diversity is a good thing that helps a company make better products.

    Oh absolutely.

  • I’m not surprised by that. Apple does plenty of evil shit, and has straight-up bribed Trump because it’s the wise business move, but they’ve been ostensibly “socially progressive” for most of the company’s history.

  • I mean, how many companies are maintaining their DEI programs these days?

    I’m not gonna say Chick-fil-A are perfect angels, but the article is about a guy who is upset because one of the locations in Utah celebrated a gay marriage and corporate backed them up. That’s a very different Chick-fil-A than in 2012.

  • I went to do this, only to find that I had texted them SQUID back in 2022. I learned then that firefly squid flash lights to attract their prey!

  • I have a personal domain I use for email, with an address set up as firstname@lastname.family

    Most people understand this just fine, but sometimes forms don’t work with .family as a TLD. EVERY NOW AND THEN, though, someone cannot comprehend an email address that doesn’t end in Gmail.com.

    When I arrived to have some work done on my car recently the person on the phone had recorded my email as: firstnameatlastname.family@gmail.com. Like, the actual word “at” was in there. I had never said anything about Gmail. And when I corrected it after arriving at the shop, their form had no issue with the .family TLD.

    I think some people genuinely don’t understand that Gmail and email aren’t synonymous.
