The ‘printer of fire’ error used to be a legitimate and important concern. Ye olde printers really could light their paper on fire under certain circumstances and they would typically be huge devices in dedicated rooms rather than something right next to your system. Letting people know to check on it when specific things went wrong probably saved a few buildings from burning down with people in them.
They wanted to sell the multidimensional portal device as a shower curtain.
Not really an English thing so much as a math thing that makes too much sense to not use elsewhere. For instance, in math you might have x[3 - 7{3y + (a * b)}]. I haven’t actually seen them go deeper than three sets, though, so I’m not sure what would be next.
Or he could have used brackets.
It’s pretty impressive when you troll so hard and so prolifically that Wikipedia gives you an article.
Like if your computer got a glitch that caused it to burn CDs that, when inserted into another computer, gave it a glitch that caused it to burn CDs that, when inserted into another computer, etc.
Bert as Gus’s dead boyfriend.
What about the pigeon poop?
I wouldn’t be surprised if the poison and the psychoactive part are the same thing in different doses, or just function similarly.
Law 0 is also a derived law rather than a programmed one. Robots with both the three laws and sufficient intelligence that are in a position where Law 1 becomes a catch 22 will tend to derive Law 0.
The New Mexico whiptail is also an F1 hybrid. If they go extinct, you can make more by hybridizing a little striped whiptail and a western whiptail. In case anyone thought that ‘species’ was a solidly defined word.
but they won’t really breed.
Which means no tomacco.
I’d argue that atheism is a feature of a belief system and that the system may or may not be a religion. There are religions that don’t feature a belief in any gods. Similarly, your personal belief system may not be a full blown religion, even if you did happen to be theistic.
Only so long as we ensure we keep a stable humpback whale population. I don’t wanna be the guy that has to figure out how to make a temporal slingshot maneuver work.
I have a coworker who I discovered a few weeks ago had no idea internal monologues were a thing. I had to explain that it’s a real documented phenomena and that it’s actually a minority of people that don’t have one. She’s pretty damn smart, too. I also play D&D with a guy who has aphantasia. He’s also pretty damn smart and you would have no idea he was incapable of visualizing things if he didn’t tell you. Him casually mentioning it in conversation surprised people who had known him for years. So, yeah, absolutely no correlation between intelligence and how your thoughts may or may not produce phantom sensory input.
It feels significantly more omnipresent over here, though.
It’s also part of the ‘wealthy people bad’ circlejerk. I mean, I get it, but fucking hell, people. Does it really have to be every fucking thread in the fediverse?
Bruce actually does know some magic, but he doesn’t trust it to not backfire somehow. Basically, he knows enough about magic to know he shouldn’t fuck with it.
