It’s an old WW2 story. They were trying to improve their bullets thus analysed the returning planes which had collected many. By siphoning the bullets out of the frame they could see which ones had the most luck, and could then manufacture luckier bullets.

Wood Bison looks healthier to me, despite all the negativity of the annotations

…not quite sure where the hostility is coming from.

The question OP asked is what is likely to vanish in 10 years, and I described the already forced-digitization of household appliances and took it one step further to depict Appliances-as-a-Service, based on the model the printer industry is already rolling out.

How his offends anyone, is a little beyond me. Maybe I should have added quotes?

Yup. Worse still, I can see this extending to other appliances. Haven’t paid your monthly washing machine service fee? Our partnership with the only water company in your area authorizes us to shut off your water.

57k a year is a decent salary if you live in the UK.

A seasoned postdoc could expect to make 55K max. A professor a bit more.

Manual appliances. You can open the fridge, but only if you pay your monthly subscription fee to keep it restocked.

We work hand-in-hand in retailers to make online shopping the default, whilst making the UI only accessible to AI bots, so if you want a stocked fridge; pay your fees.

self-inflicted, if they played nice we would all be printing from home.

upside is less paper waste

Thank you so much!

WKUK are always good, and the current guy on their channel is pushing very apt sketches in our current world crisis

Thanks for checking IMDB, I didn’t think to look there! I wonder if they have a wiki of sorts with this info

I wanna taste that blue Cherenkov tang

Somehow when I see them in pictures, I feel fine.

Somehow when I see them in person, I nope out of the room, find the biggest glass cup I can find, turn on all the lights to confuse them into settling on a wall somewhere, and then I sneak up on them without casting a shadow.

You’ll live, motherfucker, but not in my house.

I was thinking the exact same thing. Mud walls are great insulators, and keep really cool during the intense summer heat

Big beautiful brutalistic concrete block with some fucking space!

I think that era is over. GTA 6 is looking to be another visually pretty rendition with limited innovation, and the satirical elements being sidelined for actual americana bs.

We’ve had games with destructible environments, realistic reactions, and decent physics, 15 years ago, and somehow the only envelope R* push are visuals, which are incremental at best, and online play, which are pay-to-win toxic casinos.
