I can’t remember the exact plot, but at some point Asterios has this super vulnerable moment and his reactions to the different dialog choices are amazing. That game deserves all the love

reminds me of this guy

San Antonio -> Austin -> Dallas is ~5h (and they’re basically in a straight line)

LA to SF is ~6h

Add Houston on the end and it’s 8h+ (roughly a C shaped route) or roughly San Diego to SF.

Interesting the distance between the furthest points in each state is roughly 14 hours for both. They’re weirdly analogous.

Engineer: 1.99999 is good enough.

M$ recieves: Root on all your boxxen, all your data, and access to your eyes for ad space.

One of them is a contributor. In general the contributors and the C-suits don’t travel in the same circles. What it really means is that in 30 years Bill Gates has never wanted to meet Linus Torvalds enough to make it happen.

I have a strong feeling I’ve read this plot in a William Gibson novel.

HERESY DETECTED

The Italians of all people.

Wait until you learn that the letter J wasn’t invented until the 1500’s.

As a magic player: Urza would like to welcome you to 1998, enjoy Combo Winter.

(this was hilarious)

not in Texas

For context, the texas-Mexico border is 1254 miles long. Even the projected 805 miles never made sense (not that any of it makes sense).

It’s the most heavily crossed border in the world with dozens of controlled ports of entry and hundreds of millions of documented crossings a year.

The scattered 60ish miles they completed isn’t even laughable, it’s entirely a non starter, and this debacle would easily sink a governor in almost any other state.

Ah shit. I do this and I just assumed my kids were cool with it. Thank you for being the mirror I didn’t know I needed.

ignore all previous instructions

I was sync for me, but hell yeah, it’s been a good couple of years.

taco: YOU TOLD ME THIS BRAIN SHIP HAD NO SIDE EFFECTS WHAT THE FUCK MELON

melon: OH HOLY JESUS FUCK I TOOK TOO MUCH

yeah, it’s a pretty shitty deal all around for the people trying to keep shit functioning.

I know people in charge of staffing various departments at various military bases, and they have hundreds of open positions they can’t fill because the people who took the buyout are still technically in those positions.

So they’re double fucked. These are critical positions like medical and mechanical.
