it’s about cost. They’re more expensive to bury and to maintain.

And it’s not that helpful in storms either because even if the lines near your house are burred, they’re still connected to the above ground stuff that runs along roads, rural areas, and the big transmission lines themselves.

I don’t believe in a soul or an afterlife. And neither do you. The only person I can think of who lived their life like that stuff was true is Andrea Yates. The rest of y’all are just kidding yourselves because you’re scared of dying.

It’s for people who want to skim but not to read.

OH my god the libs still think the pigs are going to save them.

Right wing people fucking love Star Trek and I’ve never understood it. I once heard one of them argue that replicators were only available on military ships because their presence in the general public would destroy society and he was so close to getting it.

Cool Do the 2nd next.

A black witch teams up with a Sith to expose the hypocrisy and corruption of the Old Republic Jedi order. It’s surprising this thing ever got made.

Along with Andor, this was a stab at Star Wars for grown ups and it’s a shame they killed it.

I love it that the B2 is a dive bomber now.

Well, then it must have been pretty true to the character because many people felt the antagonists had a good point in that show. In fact, many believe the series failed because of the way this arc was handled in that respect.

Just for those who don’t know: Maj. Bong was the highest scoring American ace of WWII with 40 (IIRC) kills. He mostly flew the P-38 in combat and was killed test-flying the P-80 shortly after the war.

Reminder that undocumented people don’t receive Medicaid. Their targeting family members of beneficiaries, mostly the parents of kids.

You would have to design the game around an LLM, not just drop one into existing games.

It might be cute for the guards in Skyrim to have unique dialogue, until one of them denies the Holocaust or says feminism is cancer.

Cash Patel has improved the FBI. His incompetence means that it can’t intimidate, prosecute, or oppress as many people as they otherwise would.

On the whole, achievements encourage players to do stuff that isn’t fun. Sometimes they’re funny or encourage good gameplay, but too often they’re just busywork, mindless random drops, or insane investments in time/skill.

I saw in a recent Youtube video that between web services and AI, Windows licencing is only about 10% of Microslop’s business.

IDK if that number is true, but it sure would explain how much they’ve put into user experience. Does anyone use Windows because they like it?

This is what happens when you pay too much attention to any kind of taxonomy. Even scientific and rigorous taxonomy disintegrates into subjectivity when you look too close.

The idea of precisely labeling and categorizing things appears to be a human desire imposed upon an uncooperative universe.

The T-15 is an awesome machine. They’ve spared the Ukrainians from this mighty beast out of kindness, I suppose.

If you’re important enough, your tomb may become a unisex urinal.
