I’m smelling an awful lot of bullshit here. If the power grid (or any other major infrastructure) had a known single point of failure that would cause the entire system to collapse, there would be more than 2 people who know about it, and they certainly wouldn’t be vague-booking it to Lemmy.
I remember that, and participated as well. IIRC, the response they got was significantly larger than their most optimistic predictions, so they are aware that there is big interest. Hopefully it lands somewhere that will actually complete the project.
Get yourself a Stuka Siren and modify it until the pitch is right.
Ok, ladies: Would you rather out yourself as a woman online, or spend the night in the woods with a bear?

Hands down my favorite band ever (though, Faith No More could claim that spot depending on my mood.). Put their entire library on shuffle and you’d think you’re listening to multiple bands. Extremely talented musicians, quirky songs, fun compositions, and a variety and uniqueness rarely found coming from one band.
All hail the mighty Boognish!
Cable ads aren’t the same across the country, and very soon won’t be the same across the city. Addressable TV will bring personalized ads no matter what you’re watching.
As to why you may see a bunch of ads for similar products all of a sudden, there are a couple causes. When a new company/product comes on the market, they may flood the airwaves with ads to get their name out there, or they may not be familiar with how buying and scheduling TV ads works and will cluster things together so it seems like a barrage instead of spread out over longer periods. Also, when new competition comes to the market, the current leaders get nervous and increase advertising to retain their customers and try to keep them from changing brands. Lastly, it’s the phenomenon about noticing something which causes you to notice it even more (I.e. “there weren’t as many of [my car] on the road before I started driving one.”)
An argument is only as respectable as the person making it.
Tesla is a shit EV. There are other options. I’ve seen more and more Rivian’s in my area lately.
This is the only movie I’ve ever watched twice back-to-back.
I like George Carlin’s version: “If God is all powerful, can he make a rock so big that he himself can’t lift it?”
In my experience, Apple makes computing products for people who don’t like computing products.
I find this difficult to believe since I assume their dogma would be that a Palestinian organ in an Israeli body would be immediate disqualification for heaven. If tattoos are considered self-mutilation, a Hamas heart must be worse.
Oh? I assumed the word “halo” was banned due to its association with the church and their link to pedophilia.
I get what kind of chicks would double-up on a dude with a million dollars, but I’m suddenly VERY curious about the kind of chicks that would do that for a dude with a 1-800 number.
That’s it? If you had a pocket dimension, you’d do two chicks at the same time?
Spoken like someone who lacks vision.
How about going to a foreign country and being able to navigate the streets like a local thanks to the overly guiding you to your destination like Waze? How about being able to read signs and communicate with locals thanks to the instant translation services built in? How about a virtual assistant that can walk you through an oil change specifically for your car? How about a cooking assistant that can warn you if your pot is about to boil over or if you forgot to add the butter? How about taking my shitty dystopian studio apartment and giving me a balcony view of a tropical beach?
There are countless applications for AR ranging from the mundane to the extremely helpful. The tech needs to be developed more before it will be adopted by the masses, but it’s far from useless.
By 2030 we’ll have AR in a sunglasses form factor with integrated AI that will be able to digitally remove the clothing of everyone you see with a good degree of accuracy for what’s underneath.
Chopsticks!
