The future of European procurement?

Can’t believe it’s my first time hearing this!

Grew up in… the place of the preceding polka, ain’t been back since before this album was released. Listening to the whole thing now.

Thanks for this :)

Looking it up, pretty close.

The work done on the film to date was nearly lost in 1998 when one of the animators, while routinely clearing some files, accidentally entered the deletion command code /bin/rm -r -f * on the root folder of the Toy Story 2 assets on Pixar’s internal servers.

TIL I’ve read my last complimentary article.

Let me list all the problems I have with Trump voters being deported:

The engaging story, painstaking animation, and box-office success of “Ne Zha 2” have inspired a great deal of pride among the Chinese movie-going public, not to mention birthing a plethora of memes, trends, and social-media hashtags. But this surge of pride has also resulted in the suppression of critical takes on the film and the buzz around it: some critical articles have been deleted from social media platforms, and Chinese bloggers and reviewers have reported being criticized or attacked online for expressing dissenting views.

“One word describes Trump”: Patrimonialism

ARM is proprietary tech owned by Softbank, whose boss Son Masayoshi was last seen cosying up to Trump with the “Stargate” AI consortium.

Not just by the Japanese but by Softbank and Son Masayoshi, the guy now doing buddy-buddy photo ops & “Stargate AI” with Trump.

Hopefully the next rebrand will be from X to rm -rf /.

I can’t wait until Half-Life 3 finishes loading!

Please don’t mock her personal tragedeigh.

On a bright note, leopards’ CITES conservation status has been upgraded from VU (vulnerable) to LC (Least Concern).

More typical unnecessary gubbmint regulation keeping down the laser pointer industry!

We already saw the cognitive dissonance of people gurgling the last words “COVID’s a liberal hoax” as they drowned to death on their own bodily fluids filling their lungs. Literally no amount of reality can sway people who just won’t accept it.

“Personally, I’da gone with Tabasco, but if they prefer to sprinkle Sriracha on my face before digging in, I have to respect their decision.”

“I can respectfully disagree with their exact method of eating my face and still support all their goals… of eating my face.”

IIRC, Chauvin made the plea deal on federal charges so that he would do his time in the relative safety of a federal prison.

Which would mean that if he gets pardoned on federal charges, then he would have to serve out his remaining state time in a state pen… the very thing he wanted to avoid. He would probably be dead in under a month unless he spent the next decade or more in solitary confinement for 23 hours a day (like he did in his pre-trial detention).

Which would be a crying shame, of course…
