    What stupid thing did the GOP say or do this time? Episode 3!

    I wouldn't give her that much credit. Show me even one moderate who's had enough spine to stay in the race after getting primaried. Most of them caved after just seeing that extremist challengers existed.

    P&R Funnies!

    That second one isn't funny for the reasons they think it is. Especially since I'm pretty sure McDonald's was one of the companies that hopped on the crypto bandwagon themselves.

    General Question for the artists, about tablets.

    Oh, neat. I remember when OpenCanvas was a thing and people used to post sketchdumps from sessions they did together, but it was never a very good drawing program and also required some kind of virtual-LAN app to actually use online. Nice to know there's still stuff out there people can have...

    I have acquired a fleet of obsolete iPads. What do?

    Update: Dock cable has been acquired, 3rd gen powers up and charges... and unlike the others (except the one that was factory-reset) it's registered to a person instead of "managed by the network". Maybe iOS didn't add that feature until later. At any rate, I'm tempted to try to put some kind of...

    General Question for the artists, about tablets.

    One thing to keep in mind about GIMP, if you dare to even try it (it has some good "photomanipulation" features like filters that you'd be missing out on if you don't want to mess with Photoshop), is that you have to manually turn on tablet support in the options somewhere. Because it's only...

    The blockchain is going to destroy everything

    Sadly, as usual I'm sure actual rich people will still find a way to avoid paying a cent.

    The COVID Vaccination Thread

    Doesn't Canada have actual laws against hate speech? Shouldn't every single person who showed up with a Nazi flag be locked up right now?

    General Question for the artists, about tablets.

    Update: I was reminded that XP-Pen is also a brand that exists and some artists I know use those.

    Harris-Walz / Dems

    Hell, they should really look into whether it'd be feasible to shut them down altogether, considering they have repeatedly and intentionally violated the "fire in a crowded theater" rule at this point with their COVID disinformation.

    The COVID Vaccination Thread

    We should definitely classify whatever makes people capable of listening to that and believing they heard something intelligible as a mental disorder, at minimum. As for the one who said it, I'm pretty sure what she has already has been.

    Harris-Walz / Dems

    It's not what you call people, it's whether they deserve it or not. Killing a random person on the street is being a murderer. Going to Germany in the 1940s and mowing down Nazis by the thousands is being a hero.

    General Question for the artists, about tablets.

    I guess it depends on which of the two definitions of "tablet" you're talking about here. I haven't paid much attention to what's going on in the standalone tablet space because I already have a 2016 iPad for the basic things it was designed to do and a real computer for everything else. I know...

    The US Supreme Court and its decisions

    Wasn't Garland specifically picked to be as uncontroversial a choice as possible?

    I know that brand, but isn't the name wrong? The weird world of international branding

    And meanwhile I'm pretty sure there's some completely different no-name store brand called Best Foods in the eastern US.

    P&R Funnies!

    Frankenstein's creation didn't "work properly" either and if I recall, that was kind of the problem.

    Activision-Blizzard Thread: Just announced the Layoffs of 1900 jobs.

    Wait, EverQuest still exists??? I literally haven't heard anyone refer to it in the present tense in over a decade. Meanwhile WildStar didn't last more than a few years. There's justice for ya.

    I know that brand, but isn't the name wrong? The weird world of international branding

    Oh, and if the Lay's/Walker's situation counts, there are also cases of the same thing happening even within a single country. Hardee's and Carl's Jr. are effectively the same restaurant, and so are Checkers and Rally's. Different names, same logo style and décor, same menu as far as I know...

    The blockchain is going to destroy everything

    That was another thing the video covered. All the claims that because the blockchain is decentralized, you're not reliant on a central authority to keep the records alive, are also bullshit. Because there's not enough room in a block for a whole image file, they just contain the URL of some copy...

    The blockchain is going to destroy everything

    That's actually one of the things he touches on, the myth that the blockchain is in any way suitable for sensitive information. It may be nearly immune to man-in-the-middle attacks, but the old standby of finding someone who has write permissions and tricking them into giving you access through...
