Questions... I have questions

Supply Chain Difficulties have gone away. Why haven't prices come down? 

Electric car owners: was there an increase in your home electric bill from charging the car?

Do you use Twitter/X?  Tweetdeck is about to become a paid service.

What a bunch of total doodyheads [technical term]. Reddit killed most 3rd party access and now X will almost force you to use 3rd party apps (or, heaven forbid, the official app).

In totally unrelated news, millions took off to Lord Zuck's new social app, then promptly left.

Musk is lucky Twitter was so successful (before he purchased it).

In even more totally unrelated news, it was discovered that Twitter was inserting a 5 second delay to get to sites Musk doesn't like.

It's amazing what one discovers during long talks with family.

1. We are in the top 10% in ear wax production. All of us.
2. We also have huge penises (at least the guys do).

Cruise self-driving taxi gets wheels stuck in wet cement

Driverless cars are the future. Unfortunately we're the beta testers, just like Windows. This crap should not be unleashed upon the public until it's ready. It's clearly not ready.

DARPA wants interoperability standard for Moon living

In the spirit of progress, Comcast has announced Moon Business Internet Service. Only $2,000 per byte. No download or upload speeds promised or guaranteed. Comcast is looking into residential service, but will hold off until they figure out what they can get away with what would be fair.

New York city has banned TikTok on city-owned devices

Think about this for a moment: New York City banned Tik Tok after the federal government. New York voters are silly.

 

Oh, the Whining!

Bradley Cooper: Leonard Bernstein's family defend actor over Maestro nose row

This is killing me. Apparently Leonard Bernstein had a large proboscis and Bradley Cooper does not. So the effects people gave him a bigger nose for the movie.  The HUE and CRY was immediate - "reinforcing Jewish stereotypes!"

Dear SJWs

Did Leonard Bernstein have a big nose?  Yes.

Would a movie about Bernstein feature an actor with a big nose for reality's sake?  Yes.

Would a movie about Mohammed Ali feature a black actor, without claims of stereotyping or racism?  Yes. 

Go back home. Nothing to whine about here.

Remember: stereotypes do not appear from a vacuum.

 

A band called the Killers apologized after their front man referred to a Russian as Our Brother.

• Because we're not interested in logic - just KILL KILL KILL. The Russian is their brother. The people of Russia did not insist on invading other countries, any more than the people of America insisted the NSA spy on other countries' data. It's never the people - it's the lunatics running things.

To cure a restless spell. the SJWs got Graham Linehan, writer of IT Crowd and Father Ted, thrown off a live event because of his statements about something or other, most likely transgender issues. I remember when I started going to comedy shows (before I started performing in them)... it never occurred to me to check the performers' statements or likes and dislikes on all topics to see if they needed to be thrown off the show.  Thinking back, I should have insisted all right handed comics be thrown off the show because they're backwards and that offends me.

Graham Linehan writes some hilarious shows. He's also a real asshole on social media. He apparently made some statements that pissed off some SJWs, Everybody... everybody can choose whether or not to see him live. Who the hell believes he should be canceled because of statements?  You no like? Then no see.

If you've never seen IT Crowd or Father Ted, make it your mission to do so. They're absolutely hilarious.

Microsoft may store your conversations with Bing if you're not an enterprise user

This means that anybody who uses Bing will have their conversations stored. Because you're not an enterprise user. Your data will be used to train AI, amongst other things.

 

Nikola recalls electric truck fleet over battery fires

How will I link this back to Elon Musk?

Well, the real Tesla was Nikola Tesla.

Teslas spontaneously burst into flames.

Now Nikolas spontaneously burst into flames.

Tesla is owned by Elon Musk 

Six degrees of Elon Musk.

Neuroscientists decoded a Pink Floyd song using people’s brain activity

This is both the coolest thing I've read in a year and the most frightening. Go to the link and you can hear what the brain produced. Of course this presupposes your brain shows any activity.

I'm holding out for Hendrix.

As of late 2022, Amazon's Alexa had reportedly lost the company $10 billion.

• I'm so sad I can barely laugh my ass off
• Amazon thought they'd make mountains of money from people purchasing from Amazon. Apparently people are more interested in turning their lights off and on.
• The person in charge of this mega-lossy division just resigned.

 

US tourists stay in Eiffel Tower overnight while drunk - prosecutors

I don't understand why other countries hate us and call us Ugly Americans (this was even before Trump).  So we get drunk and sleep in a national treasure. France has a snotty culture that starts drinking wine in infancy. We happen to do it better and faster, like all things American. Bloody frogs.
