Believe it or not, these were invited by a certain asshole sitting in the government at the time. I can only assume this is how the friendly visit looked like back in the day. Different time, different customs…

The soft power of the USSR:

The truly strange thing is that nobody has complained about it until now. I can’t imagine buying a phone that can’t be rested on the table evenly.

He would be made out of the snake body and the lion head!

Finally a reason to tell everyone I’ve discovered gnosticism. It’s like normal religion, but for pessimists. On the other hand, so many Therion songs just make sense all of a sudden.

Oh, boy! If you like long podcasts, Behind the Bastards did a 5 parter about the history of the nuclear programs.

spoiler: USA kinda did have a literal program to nuke random cities possibly unrelated to the potential source of the attack.

And now I wish for somebody to include this into their fictional universe. If any proffesional writer reads this, pay attention!

The absolute strangest 6 and a half hours spent in front of the screen.

always ask:

1. How many people would have to be in on it?
2. How likely is it for everybody to keep the secret?

I feel like 3D is a different kind of medium. Directors used to shoot movies that look good on a 2D screen weren’t fully utilizing the possibilities of the new medium. However, shooting movies solely for being presented in 3D would not have been financially viable.

VR suffers from a similar problem. But thanks to lower costs, compared to a Hollywood movie, it’s possible to target the smaller market of VR users.

I think I’ve boycotted sony for one thing or the other for the large part of my adult life. Only backed down in 2021 and bought some shares. Time to return back to normal I guess.

I’ve patiently waited until the flashing guide for the roborock s8 was out, went to buy the s8 pro ultra, just to discover valetudo has dropped the support, because appearently a different version of the same robot was silently released, that would’ve been turned into a brick if I tried the installation procedure.

Now I have a dumb robot. It does like 95% of what I expect it to do, but I might at least solder an ep32 to the top buttons so that scheduling through the home assistant would be possible

Some people stuggle to learn a second language their entire lives. These badasses did it for a gig!

If an opensource project has an author who’s not a jerk, that’s when you get suspicious!

If they are training on historical dubs, just be thankful you’re not Polish.

I once put my homelab rack outside of my apartment, in the hall. Then used it to catch a bastard who kept stealing my bike light, and later tried to snatch the whole bike.
