Soldiers already have to learn how to fully disassemble and reassemble their equipment, so it'd just be another day at the office for them.

Also, it's not a good idea to get into a shooting war with anyone, in general. The US military hasn't been a force for good in the world since before my parents were born; I don't see them turning it around on a dime. That said, the more it's looking like Ukraine has a chance to grind Russia...

I can translate: "We got so jealous of Kids Today who never had to live through the Cold War that we're deliberately starting it up again. Have fun!"

Turns out being a nuclear superpower doesn't count for squat when you're stuck relying on conventional weapons. Personally I'd be on board with keeping the sanctions against Russia indefinitely even if they surrender, just on principle. You don't get to do something like this without long-term...

They'd probably just replace him with someone even worse. If there are people even higher up on the ladder than he is, he's probably doing what he's doing because it's exactly what they want.

No I did not. I thought the whole area for miles around the facility was a "No humans anywhere near here or they're going to die" zone.

But... but the unions though. Are they not demanding better pay? Do they not even want better pay???

OK, so my earlier joking aside, what is even the point of "capturing" a giant lump of radioactive rock? Are... are they gonna try to blow it up or something?

You mean there was a time when it was actually possible to cut finding to police departments?

I never played any of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games. Is this how we get giant mutant Russian soldiers?

Trump isn't even a real billionaire. He pissed away his money ages ago, and with it, whatever goodwill he might have had with the Rich People's Club that keeps rich people immune from consequences. Not to mention he should have a reputation for stiffing everyone he offers to pay for things, so...

I think the customary thing to say here is "shots fired" but I feel like that would be easily misinterpreted in this situation.

This comes up a lot in the retro-computing world—naturally—and a few years ago someone hit on the idea of just putting the stuff out in the sun with no chemicals at all. It works, though it takes longer than the peroxide method. Here's the needlessly-long and needlessly-meandering video that...

"Switched" isn't quite the word, as I'd never voted in a primary before that. The only primary where I might conceivably have been invested enough in the outcome was 2004, and I think that was a few months before I was actually registered to vote.

I thought he fled to the Philippines years ago.

Everyone has pronouns except Rufus Xavier Sarsaparilla.

The first movie opened with kid-Sonic being chased by echidnas, so unless they specifically died out in the interim, they're still around.

I wonder how things work in states with true open primaries. Ohio is considered a hybrid because, during the primaries, you have to specifically say which ballot you want to fill out—Democrat, Republican, or neither for just the issues (referendums) that are up for vote that year. And then they...

Stealing stuff is what they do. It's becoming increasingly clear to me that these dudes are the hacker equivalent of Sovereign Citizens, not so much in the sense of genuinely believing that governments and their laws are all invalid, but in the sense that they no longer apply to those clever...

Here's a wild thing that just happened: Someone tried to put together a thing that makes NFTs of Magic: The Gathering cards, apparently with the intention of giving people a way to play it online but still have the artificial scarcity associated with physical card packs. Thing is, they did this...
