Bring back codpieces!!

All I read is “The computer simulation we’re living in fooled some mathematicians”

Ray started making cash withdrawals at various CIBC branches, where he’d been a customer for decades.

At one point, a branch manager questioned his activity and froze his online bank account and ability to withdraw from an ATM. But Ray could still take out money in person, which he continued to do.

What’s bank supposed to do in this situation? He wouldn’t talk about the scam and disregarded the actual physical people he was dealing with. Then, once they get more suspicious, he moves his funds to a new bank. They don’t know this guy, who are they to deny him his money?

I feel awful for this man. I’d be in shambles. I don’t see how the banks could’ve saved him, though, when he was so intent on following through with the scammers. “No, you’re not spending your money smartly, so we’re gonna keep it”?

Attention.

They’re trying to sue J&J, too. One of the largest corporations in the world. Curious to see where it’ll go. Just seems like all it’ll do is piss off his donors.

Yes please suck the life out of me.

And the answer to that test is “all of the above”

Woah. The art is gorgeous. What’s the game?

I can dig that. Just like how I have no intention of building / buying this model, but the progress towards something I’ve been pining for is exciting.

I haven’t. More than anything I’m supporting the idea of something like this. Little clamshell ereader that’s not tied to a company? Hell yeah. Version 0.01 here might not be what I’m lusting after, but it’s that much closer to Version 2.0.

I’m a huge fan of this idea. Having a light clamshell device for reading means the formatting would be (should be, might be) closer to that of a physical book. With most books I don’t think that matters, but there are tons where the author plays with page formatting & typography and it rarely comes off well in a single-screen ereader.

Additionally - clamshell means built-in screen protection. I’ve never liked those stick-on 3rd party screen protector sheets, and a clamshell design is going to do a better job of protecting the screen anyway. Something like this you can snap it closed and chuck it in a bag without worrying.

Racist DNS!

“Robot army” from the guy who gave us the Cybertruck? I’m not worried.

You kidding? The Trump regime was rooting for the virus initially because it was killing “liberals”. Then they realized it was killing more of their supporters.

Don’t be mistaken - this is meant to kill people. This is an attack on every man, woman, and child in the US.

This is what happens when a manufactured star encounters a real one.

Change your name to make yourself more palatable to a wider audience? Good.

Change your name to make yourself more palatable for yourself? Bad, apparently.

Lots of bangers in this post; is there a good Lemmy community for 8- & 16-bit game music?

It’s not about the value these employees have to the company, it’s about control. If your workforce knows you’ll waste money on PIs to tail you when you’re sick, they think twice about calling in.

Somewhere in that office is a power-tripping manager.
