  • I've seen this. You'll get a video recommendation that is technically on two channels at once, and you may be subscribed to only one of them. This may be particularly annoying if you've deliberately not subscribed to the other guy featured in the video.

  • Not only that, but the US Military runs on state-of-the-art logistics. This means that military equipment can, and often is, incredibly high maintenance because you're never far from a base that always has everything you need to keep it operational. In this environment, there's no need to make anything super robust and reliable, so... they don't.

    How state-of-the-art are we talking? Well, let me introduce you to forward-deployed Burger King.

  • Every time.

  • I have left this as an exercise for the reader.

  • Fixed:

  • I'm no fan of this man, but is this the actual moment? If so, I don't think we should be posting snuff content.

  • I try to look at it from the standpoint of critical mass. We're well past the observation that a bunch of people are working overtime battling dissonance, juggling an ever-growing schedule of contradictory information. It's frustrating that the dam doesn't break sooner, but eventually, it will break. If not for this shred of news, then for the next one, or the one after that. Eventually.

  • I'm with you on "slam" and any other pseudo-violent verb to make an otherwise milquetoast headline more attention-grabbing.

    What really gets me is when it is applied to the mildest of vocal objections by some politician. Like, it's not even clever wordplay, just dissent. None of this is worthy of the same vocabulary one would use to describe a WWE match, but here we are.

    Sometimes, the news is kind of dull, and that's okay.

  • I'm on this bandwagon, more or less. 12 months ago I was certainly fearing some kind of gestapo, only in the form of the proud boys and other terrorist groups that were breaking bread with trump the first time around. What I couldn't puzzle together was how those assholes would mange to mimic legit police and military, in order to have the optics to operate freely.

    What I didn't expect was the whitehouse weaponizing the lowest-empathy-with-guns facet of the executive branch, all the while mimicking terrorist thugs in order to operate with maximum friction instead.

  • IMO, some people think that being educated means achieving mountains of rote memorization, and little else. Some of those people also become teachers.

    This may also be why there's a big row every time someone changes what algorithms are taught in basic maths (in the US, anyway).

  • I didn't take into account this nuance. I agree.

  • I feel like there's room for a youtube series about how this is all around us.

    "Good Enough: how engineering works in the real world."

  • Honestly, I kind of needed this. Thanks, OP.

  • If I had one, I’d never leave.

    Between VR and AI, we're getting closer every day. You might wanna re-think grabbing the new Steam Frame.

  • That's one (of many) great things about Stargate. Not only did it perfect the classic Trek formula, it had good chunk of the same cast, and a bunch of actors from other trek-inspired sci-fi shows.

  • To be completely fair, a competent Linux enterprise desktop team would force regular kernel and package updates on the users, too. Keeping up to date is crucial to network security and y'all have all kinds of juicy stuff on your work machines, regardless of the underlying operating system.

  • taking the best parts from other nations.

    To be fair, it's what we do best. There's simply nothing more American.

  • And you teach this story to your children! There's hope for you Humans yet, Doctor.
