That whole issue sounds incredibly stupid from the outside. Would there be the same outrage if someone named their kid Ghengis? He killed even more people. Or Vlad, as in Vlad the Impaler? Or Joseph as in Joseph Stalin? Looking at this with an outside perspective, it truly sounds as the whole thing is fabricated because people just hate the marriage between a Hindu and a Muslim.

You can say “die in hell” in a shoe store to ask for a different pair of shoes.

I once knew a woman who used cut up punch cards as spacers when rolling joints.

~5 inches thick means the circumference, I assume? Because a ~12cm diameter sounds rather uncomfortable.

Wing Commander

I remember the audio commentary on The Core, where the director acted like the movie was very serious. I loved that.

Uhm, but Hackers is not shitty.

Yeah, but change it how? Maybe it’ll run away with your partner.

Just have your mother sit in the back.

What’s that flag mean? It looks like it says “I’m an asshole”, but I’m not quite sure.

Original copies? WTF? I mean, I had this version too, but I never ever saw the originals my disks were a copy of.

I just read up on it and now I remember the scene. No idea what I thought about it previously, though. I understand what the studio was trying to achieve with the attempted rape. It was just an asinine way to go about it.

Uh, I don’t even remember that. It’s been a while since I watched that movie.

I love me some Patlabor. Really recommended if you want something for adults. Wings of Honneamise should also be on that list.

I used to use Pocket a lot, it was my main way to read long form articles. I somehow stopped doing that years ago as a way to preserve my mental health. Since then I haven’t used Pocket once.

He is one of those people who will make the world better by dying.

Damn, that is some cheap gas.

I saw that my Jetbrains All Product Pack subscription also includes their AI assistant and in Go it’s really able to write and refactor things in a useful manner. But I think a large part is that I’ve been programming for 30 years and I am able to tell the thing exactly what I want and can mention things I do not want and also spot issues. Right now I don’t see how they can manage a complete codebase, which I understand vibe coding to be. There are just so many things than can (subtly) go wrong and AI at the moment is not able to help with that. But they also keep getting better, so who knows where we’ll be in a year or two.

Is that dollars per gallon?

“What are we doing today, Jay?”

“The same thing we’re doing every day, Kate. Trying to take over the social internet!”
