The entire purpose of software is for humans to use it.

The good news is that once AI replaces humans for everything, there will be no need to produce software (or anything else) for humans and AI will be out of work.

And you still can’t afford the down payment.

Bah, that graph needs antimatter.

The only real purpose of the lithium deuteride is that it’s a dry, shelf-stable, room-temperature fuel. The very first hydrogen “bomb” (actually a building-sized device) used supercooled liquid hydrogen as the fusion fuel, but this was obviously not practical for a deliverable bomb.

For that matter, even the Nagasaki bomb (“Fat Man”) didn’t use Uranium at all - its fuel was Plutonium.

I had a manager years ago who viewed his involvement in problem-solving as a variant of the rubber duck solution. I always wanted to tell him to his face that he was accurate, in the sense that he brought about as much to the table as an actual rubber duck.

Which is worse: forcing a programmer to attend daily meetings, or forcing them to work in an “open plan” office? If I had to choose one or the other, I would choose to go work on a garbage truck.

This is why very old houses in Louisiana had no closets - your property tax was assessed on the basis of how many closets you had. Also, they liked spelling “armoire”.

He looks much better in the last photo ever taken of him!

so they largely did just that right up until Pearl Harbor made it so they could not turn away

FWIW we (the United States) could conceivably have gone on turning away from what Germany was doing even after Pearl Harbor (although that was unlikely given Roosevelt’s anti-Germany stance). Hitler declared war on the US on December 11th, not the other way around.

There is a difference: we’re helping to fund it.

Still didn’t try his hands at Nazi sympathy

TBF he died before he had the chance.

This one lol.

You either die a hero or you live long enough to become a nazi.

If Jobs was still alive he probably would have been sitting with the other billionaires at Trump’s inauguration.

Back when I studied Anthropology in college, they would always talk about statuettes like these being evidence of a “cult of fertility”. Years later I realized that’s just fancy academia language for “porn”.

I loved Dennis Miller back in the '80s, before he made his heel turn into a right-wing douche. In retrospect, I realize I actually just liked the SNL writers coupled with his snarky delivery.

“Long distance relationships work great for me because I’m more attractive the farther away I am.”

Istan Bul?

It’s absolutely justified fear. For every one guy who will just take it as a sweet compliment, there are ten guys who will think “she wants the D!”
