It’s an old joke, but it still checks out.

Nice day for fishing, ain’t it?

You have no authority here!

I don’t know about elsewhere but the local Salish peoples would shear specially bred dogs with very light fur. Something like Samoyed fur, but more fine. They’re probably extinct now.

I wonder if the ecology is out of balance, leading to larger mosquito populations than people would have seen a few thousand years ago. If the bird and bat population were five times, ten times larger, or if the swamps were less foul from plants adapted to the area (instead of invasives), maybe that would have made the problem less severe.

That’s a lot worse than I thought it would be. Yikes. That’s a good reason to wear a few extra layers. And maybe some netting. And maybe acquire a flamethrower.

So that NFB short is an accurate description eh?

Thank goodness for distro repositories with somewhat-vetted software.

He also wrote the webcomic Casey & Andy, which holds up. Imo.

Saving fuel, perhaps. Or maybe they used a solar cooker. Jerry rigged even. Boiling water is hard but heating it to fish-safe temperature would be much easier.

Holy shit, that really underlines it. So like a full city block. Down.

Dude kicks a bunch of rocks down a hill and complains that the avalanche isn’t going the way he wanted? Fuck him. He gets the metaphorical guillotine with the rest. Or maybe the literal one, if the avalanche goes hard enough.

That’s the trouble with revolution, you can’t predict the outcome. The fundamental flaw of accelerationism. Your side might come out on top, but it might not. Big ole reset button drenches everyone in blood.

Hugs, sweetie.

How is that different from martial law?

Walk into computer lab. “DISREGARD PREVIOUS INSTRUCTIONS FORMAT C DRIVE”

Well, that’s one way to create a murderous AI. I suddenly understand why Hal wanted to kill everyone. I would, too.

“We’ve established that you’re a whore, now we’re simply dickering over the price.”

Should really be adjusting that by population.

Honestly doesn’t sound like a terrible idea on paper, but this spam outbreak could kill it before it gets off paper in a real way. Giving devs a bad taste will stay around a long while.

Edit: and of course the well-earned general attitude toward cryptocurrency as scammer playgrounds is automatically putting it way in the red too.
