True. I guess by that point it’s easiest to plan in advance what you’re gonna test and use multiple wings. Like, okay, Wing A is the “bullet” wing, wing B is the “shrapnel” wing, wing C is “missile” wing, etc.

Then march ‘em down to whatever section of the Nevada Desert is currently serving as Skunkwork’s Live Fire…

Bah. With all the money that company has, you’d figure they could afford to get actual military weapons to “simulate” that damage across several wing examples. More fun for the hardware QA team and one more reason to keep asking for money so the hardware QA team can play with guns I mean test.

Why do they all make that face?

That looks like what I’d imagine a xenomorph’s kidney stones would look like.

Which, don’t get me wrong, is still cool, but I dunno if I’d call it “beautiful”. Interesting, maybe? Unique? But, like...Come on, it’s ugly as hell.

When people go over the top there’s a grain of truth to what they say,” although he also added that it’s “normal” for men to be attracted to children.

I guess not; I don’t think I made it terribly clear how unpleasant she is to deal with under the best of circumstances so this isn’t just schadenfreude for its own sake, just my own amusement at her being befuddled that she can’t yell at anyone to have this instantly fixed and is angry/helpless at this and my god has…

Oh god no, I wouldn’t offer her tech support if my life depended on it and never have, you kidding? She has no idea I “am good at computers” and I plan on keeping it that way. I’m pretty sure she thinks she’s better at tech than I am, and I’m absolutely happy to maintain that illusion until one of us dies.

Also, this…

sorry ur mac gets viruses now :(((

Shitheads are gonna be shitheads; the public shaming isn’t going to change this guy’s mind, or that of anyone else that shitty. All it’ll do is make him more fearful of expressing it.

While I get the “hey dogpiling is bad” sentiment, that really only applies towards people who have some rationale besides “I’m awful”…

You misunderstand why I’m amused by this in the first place.

The semantic difference between “virus” and “malware” isn’t terribly important in this scenario.

I have a few family members who still like to tout the whole “Macs don’t get viruses!” thing; one of them has this, as I found out via a Facebook post. She is not dealing with the cognitive dissonance well, and her lack of technical acumen as well as a general sort of luddite approach to technology in general means…

The hottest of hot takes. Scorching, surface-of-the-sun hot. Opposite of the heat death of the universe hot.

Eagerly awaiting the next article about how Paul McCartney is actually kind of a crappy bassist, or how Kubrick’s movies aren’t, like, that good.

The only problem with that flowchart is that for it to be effective, the target audience:

a) is going to have to have misspelled “breibart.com” badly enough to land here in the first place (which, to be fair, seems to happen often enough if the greys are any indication).
b) is going to see the Latin on there, assume…

Oh let’s be clear on the hypocrisy level: The white ladies calling the cops do not have jobs, their husbands do (at best). They have nothing better to do but act entitled to make themselves feel more powerful, supplemented with a healthy dollop of Fox and right-wing talking points to reinforce the fantasy.

Far as I can tell, these things are a bit like building your own battery dischargers. Smok-E Mountain Mech Works seems to be the equivalent of a DIY mod shop? Hard to tell since a lot of their stuff appears to be removed from online stores (surprise!)

I’m guessing this person has never patronized a food truck in the Bay Area, where this would be sufficiently cheap as to sell out instantly every single day.

To be fair, these guys could compose a top-40 hit out of some rotten fish heads, the color yellow, and a bad case of the flu. You put the Roots in front of anything and they’ll get you a catchy song out of it.

I mean, I get it. If you’re a Car Person™, part of that appeal is enjoying the mechanical act of operating the car by physically interacting with it, and inserting a key and turning it is a part of that and there’s a subset of people for whom this is an enjoyable part of the experience and they don’t want to give it…

I lasted ~40 seconds. The cringe on my face may now be stuck like that forever. Just...burned in, like the maze on a really old Pac-Man arcade game screen.

Holy shit, how do you get to be this oblivious while also being this full of yourself and not have accidentally died walking into traffic because you just assume…

Bungie should slap a time decay or (and this would be much harder and time consuming to implement so it won’t happen but WHATEVER) a player progression metric on some of these. Let the early, hardcore, dedicated folks who want figure it out go ahead figure it out, and give them something unique for their time. Like,…
