And the study was even proven wrong in the 17th century. A finite amount of monkeys already produced Shakespeare in a finite amount of time; it took roughly 55 million years.

Source: Primates show up in the fossil records, dating to roughly 55mill years. And Shakespeare’s complete works were most likely completed by William Shakespeare, a famous decendant of said primates.

Same. Podcasts are also great, and some are even made specially for this purpose, like Nothing Much Happens.

The 1989 Belgian techno anthem Pump Up the Jam.

Tested it on linux mint, and it works just fine for me. 28G of RAM free, no swap in use.

Using Firefox 132, mo plugins/add-ons. Fairly stock Mint install, freshly installed yesterday.

This depends. I’ve found that the cheaper KVM solutions are pretty picky when it comes to supported hardware and standards. While the more expensive/industrial ones are more forgiving.

Well, logically the immunity would also cover the vice president, as the stated argument for immunity was that a president should be able to act without having to clear everything with a lawyer. Logically, a vice president should then also have the same immunity.

So I guess murdering the president to take their job simply has to be done while shouting “This is an official act of the office of the vice president!” as a battle cry.

Not sure honestly. It may have been the year before. Or even earlier. Or maybe I’m just slow at noticing popular media trends. As you can see, I’m doing great at growing old.

I’m soaking wet. My kids wanted to go trick or treating, but there’s a storm at the moment with sideways rain. So I followed them in my car until I decided it was enough. Two of them had already capitulated, but the 3rd and a friend wanted to keep going.

Helping them in/out as well as helping their friend getting the bike out was enough weather exposure for me to get properly soaked - all of my kids were completely drenched, but they had a good time.

They’re currently eating Halloween candy, and I’m looking forward to a hot shower with a cold beer once they’re in bed in not too long.

Oh, and I got a new laptop today, which is pretty nice. Haven’t had much time setting everything up yet, though.

With all the Bowsettes last year, I’m tempted to say no in the name of equality.

Highest to lowest. I edited it into the comment.

Interesting tidbit: from left to right, these are ordered by the efficiency of the oxygen transportation, highest to lowest.

Blue blood may be cool, but red blood is better for you.

Whenever I show up to a “mobilization project” which involves lifting and mounting shipping containers of machinery and IT equipment onboard ships, I check whether the containers have had their grounding wires attached, as well as checking if the deck welds have been spray painted with protective coating.
If not, I need to check if the cable runs are properly done, deck fiberoptics protected from crane operations, antenna mounted without obstructions, etc.

Checking random coax cable connections whether they’ve gotten a proper dose of molycote inside is also a pretty good indicator, but the tech department has gotten really attentive in regards to that. The grounding wire is really the only brown M&M I have left on them.

20 years ago, the right wing propaganda machine was focused on (before they went full out fascist) low taxes for the “job creators” such as corporations and rich people, on the basis of that leading to more lucrative job opportunities for everyone else. The thinking was that the people and corporations in this low-tax environment would have incentives for creating jobs “here” instead of moving them overseas.

Not everyone on that side of the isle have realized that this results in jobs still ending up overseas, along with money that could’ve funded schools, roads, libraries, et al. And many of those who have realized it continue along the same path because it’s too profitable for them to do so.

Remember this next time you hear slogans such as “trickle down economy”, or Glitch McConnells favorite: “What’s good for the goose is good for the gander”.

It’s hard to find more compact correctness than this comment right here.

Only if your definition of “brave” is the same as the one Apple used when they removed the audio jack.

It was mentioned on the Kill James Bond podcast; The James Bond character continuum.

The reason why James Bond looks different over the years is because James Bond is a position and not a person. Multiple agents have held this position. When one is killed or captured, another agent takes over.

So, where did the different agents end up?

Well, JB by Sean Connery was imprisoned in the US for his many crimes, rape included.

Lazenby quit after his wife was murdered.

Roger Moore, I don’t remember. Killed by Dolph Lundgren, probably.

Timothy Dalton, don’t remember.

Pierce Brosnan was captured by North Korea.

And here are the implications: Sean Connerys James Bond was imprisoned on Alcatraz, and his later life is depicted in the movie The Rock.

Pierce Brosnan is still in an NK cell, deprived of any social contact, tortured, 99% PTSD by what little remains of his body weight. As a coping strategy he has escaped into a fantasy world of his own making. And from this we get the movie Mamma Mia.
