My thing about guns is...it’s too much power. Too much power and not enough time to consider the consequences. Just one squeeze, a few extra pounds of pressure and you’ve changed lives forever. Frankly it terrifies me to the point that I will never own a gun. Because I know well enough that I don’t want to be near a…
You realize that all having a gun in your home does is make it more likely that you or your family will be shot right? Nothing about having a weapon in the house makes a person safer. The opposite in the vast majority of cases. And it gives volatile people a quick non-personal means to fucking murder people in the…
hot damn this woman could not look any more Texas if she tried.
Your letter should have suggested that the man go on another vision quest, negotiate a license agreement with the Shaman and file the patent application on his behalf. Maybe a spirit animal could operate as the Shaman’s representative. Perhaps a wise owl or tricky coyote?
I’m no math genius but I feel like the slot for a 3.5" floppy needs to be slightly larger than the 1 inch slot portrayed.
I’m pretty sure you win the internet for today for using the word “diskette”.
Patent Examiner/ former Patent Attorney here: One day back at the firm, my managing partner called me into his office to let him know that someone had called him about filing a patent. This person had (sigh) been on a “vision quest” with a shaman, and taken hallucinogens which (sigh) caused him to travel forward in…
Florida man will lose. Coleco inventied it in 1975:
Hell, a 16 MHz 386 processor and 2 MB of RAM? I’d love to have this for some mobile Wolfenstein 3D and STUNTS!
Man, the iPhone would have been so much better with 1/4 inch wide solar cells and a diskette drive.
Glad I wasn’t the only one thinking that...
When I bought my iMac 5 years ago it was very different. The whole “use it exactly how we imagined or fuck off” design philosophy only got really aggressive two years later.
Tabs in all apps seems like a really cool feature. My “killer app” that nobody’s ever really implemented (although BeOS kinda made some nods in that direction) would be the ability to combine windows from multiple, unrelated applications into a single multi-tab window, then save that workspace so that I can recall it…
That would make sense if it was a Japanese movie being made for Japanese audiences. And Japan’s own grappling with race / ethnic identity is a separate issue. Its a Western movie where people do care about having more roles and role models for Asian-Americans.
I feel like this plus his father's letter should be used as textbook examples of rape culture and how it persists.
It sounds like he is surrounded by a bunch of asshole enablers who have always told him he can do no wrong. So shocking that he ended up as a remorseless rapist.
What the hell is wrong with every person in convicted rapist, Brock Turner’s life?
