Shooting small Mancunians in the face with an over-powered stapler.

The drone idea is pretty smart, could just have it trying really hard to locate any objects near it, and happen to fly it past every camera in your area

Because Look at it!!! It’s far too cool to have existed so briefly

There needs to be more of this kind of thing

Chinese cars built with LiDAR are supposedly damaging cameras on road networks, and those lasers are extremely low powered compared to, say, a laser pointer.

I’m so used to everything we do being another stride into a dystopian hellscape that it took me a moment to realise that this wasn’t (in any immediately obvious way) the government helping the fuel industry. This treaty is absolute nonsense, and should never have been ratified in the first place, so this is actually good news, unless they’ve somehow thought of something worse to replace it with

Bobby Fingers is the hero we need

Joplin looks pretty damn good, my question is about the diagram function - basically, I take on more than I can manage, and have made my life a bit of a tangled hellscape. I’m looking to visually organise the physical projects I have started, and see which parts are holding up other projects. Essentially, columns of blocks for steps to complete one thing, each block being its own note, and visually showing if there are steps in other columns on which this block depends, or depends on this. Can it do that?

The way you describe these programs, and their websites suggest that they’re actually going to be way more useful than just my intended use case, I’ve never really considered replacing my basic notes with something like this. I used Evernote for a while, but they made more and more features paid, and it got much less useful in comparison to the iOS notes app, so I’ve just stuck with that for ages. What you say about a mature app with continued support really matters. Photobucket are working their absolute hardest to prove that point at the moment.

Is it by smashing stuff together until they break something fundamental, and the universe goes dark?

I would thoroughly recommend the book “Rewilding the sea” for more of this kind of cautiously optimistic sea-based stuff. It also goes into a lot of detail about the details of how and why it’s happening.

And the winner of The Most Scandinavian Sentence of the Year goes to…

Angle grinder and an axe, that man has balls of steel. Fair play to him!

And according to this comic, that’s somehow my mum’s fault

“Gonna manifest me some pork in the shower for my wife”

Well I never knew that! Nice explanation, thanks

Not a book, but one of the Daniels has said that Everything, Everywhere, All At Once is based on his experience of having all 80 of the HDs.

Also, having written that like that reminded me that there’s a character in the Dogman kids graphic novel called 80hd

I really got that impression reading it, you’re right on the money

My life might generally be a train wreck, but god damn am I good at emergencies, especially the “we’ve turned a truck over in a silly place” “The digger’s half sink in the lake” kind. The wheels constantly come off things like keeping my house from being a war zone, but when the actual wheels come off, I’m actually fitting on all cylinders for once. It’s a kind of crap trade off, but I’m not sure how much I’d want to change it!

One of my friends once called me pedantic, and I got to correct his pronunciation of it - he stressed the first syllable. One of the high points of my life.

How about drone strikes then? Like big undeclared man made sources of methane get a drone up the corn hole.
