Since no one mentioned it: VCR tape eraser.
Basically just an electromagnet that oscillates because it’s running directly from AC current.
With an extension cord you could erase all the hard drives in a computer lab just waving the eraser vaguely where the drives are.
Physical destruction is better though.
I played a little paintball, and the most impressive game was when I had sprinted along the perimeter to get a sniper angle on a path, wait 20 seconds, and have a Marine Recon AD barrel roll from behind a tree 30 feet from me that I never heard and put a single round in my goggles before I knew what was happening. It bounced but I wasn’t about to call that anything but legit AF.
I saw the military haircut and asked him after the round.
I’m great against paper targets…but that’s not the same as combat and I am crystal clear about it.
Someone complained about… Staplers?
I haven’t needed a stapler at work in tech for uh…at least 5 years.
It’s almost as if deregulation of the energy industry was a bad move…
Agreed.
Medical billing is a pachinko game that provides no health benefits. I’ve overseen things and had things like medicaid/medicare billing mapped out and it’s terrifyingly stupid. It makes our tax laws look rather simple.
We can’t even trust cost plus models because of the for profit games like:
Hey we need 1000 bandaids at the hospital. Ok, how about 1000 for $100 bulk? Uh…no we need special ones. Um okay how about 1000 individually packaged bandaids hand prepared atop Mt Olympus by golden haired virgins during intense thunderstorms for 1000 bucks each? Perfect!
Because they have to defend only making cost plus a fixed percentage of profit so better to make 15k than 15 bucks. Jackassery
I’m not against financial rewards for superior products but there’s nothing like that in healthcare here. Financial incentives for better outcomes might be good, but instead every incentive begs for bad things.
Trump promised a plan, teased it constantly, never released one. No plan except getting rid of Obamacare.
Sure, but everyone needs to be reminded that Trump wants to make it exponentially worse
I don’t recall approving my appearance in this comic - I am lodging a complaint to the Internet authorities!
I think hybrids need to be built like EVs with on board range extender generators. I believe the Volt was that way but if you had enough battery to cover 120 miles full EV with plug-in recharge most of the time it would be full EV. Long trip? Generator kicks on at mile 100 and takes you an absurd distance.
The latest Toyota hybrids are pretty great but they need competition. Sadly the Volt died.
Kia/Hyundai/Ford/Audi should make “Range extender” versions trading half the battery pack for generator and fuel weights to up the pressure.
Full EV might not be great for long trips, but full ICE is silly compared to a hybrid.
Make the F-150 standard truck get 40mpg on gasoline on trips, EV around town and you have a winner.
I’m Happy to see more competition for jira. Jira has been around for 20 years but honestly it looks and acts the same as it did 20 years ago, except slower if you had the sense to provision it well on bare metal back then. The jira in the cloud experience at many companies has been less than stellar.
LiFePo batteries are pretty safe and last a long time. The just need a heated blanket for sub freezing to charge. There’s some videos showing puncture resistance/fire resistance between battery types. Neat stuff.
Will Prowse has one I think
Me too. And their revolutionary hydrogen car that everyone will turn to by the year yesterday
The same Toyota that declared that electric vehicles were a non-starter and that hydrogen vehicles were the future?
I think hydrogen will be in the future, but not for a while. Toyota is having to make lots of promises to make up for Kia and Hyundai eating their lunch.
You’re right. As a Tesla owner there’s every reason to want the power, range, and maybe a couple of the features but with tangible controls etc
The Kia/Hyundai offerings are probably your closest bet.
I almost never use the assists. I don’t mind the idea that if the computer sees a looming impact it will brake for me though.
Nah.FBI tricked criminals into using a network they could monitor.
I was wrong. More like 10 seconds

I bet a LLM AI could summarize it down to half a minute of reading
Fuck you and take an upvote for coming here to state what I was going to when I immediately summed 5+1 to 6 and felt clever thinking “well I do know it’s not prime and divisible by 3” Shakes fist
I’ll get you NEXT time logicbomb!
What about chat in games? IRC? Conversation had by making comments on Lenny posts? Jerry, we can’t go with the suggestion Ann just made because we’ll look really stupid.
Delay this until Q1 2024
Refuse to do se their preferred name for starters.
