       @lauren This sounds like passwords only with different steps. :p

       @lauren The quality of info was so much better.  Especially the "Science!" circle I followed, which had a few hundred scientists posting actual science stuff.

       @lauren Though it was kind of weird having a bouncy heroic theme playing over the opening credits as THE BAD GUY'S SHIP flew up to the planet. 😛

       @lauren Why should the software transition be any less of a Mongolian clusterfuck than the business transition?  In a few years this will all go into a textbook under "what NOT to do". 😛

       @lauren Biden had no leverage, really, other than pulling the pin on the grenade and hoping it hurt the GOP more than him.  Me, I'd have taken those odds but that's probably why I'm not president. 😄

       @stux I have yet to hear even one crypto advocate competently explain why I should consider crypto to be money in the first place.

       @stux Our cat Jack would catch chipmunks (and sometimes baby rabbits) live and unharmed then release them in the house.  He'd chase them for a while, get tired and just forget about them.  Leaving us to corral and release the critters.His sister Jill just watched.

       @stux Many Americans are also asking what our government is doing.

       @stux They won't bomb the bank into rubble but if the hostage situation goes on long enough sooner or later they will shoot their way in and accept any casualties to end the situation.

       @Frantasaur @joesabin @lamp I'm an unaffiliated conservative.  I'm voting Democratic because it's the only way to avoid fascism but I have no use for the far left wing.

       @isaac2 @Frantasaur @joesabin @lamp I said I had no use for the FAR left wing.  What counts as "far" is left as an exercise for the reader. ;)

       @Rasp Actually we're fighting the Mirror Universe Borg in Star Trek Online and they're worse than the mainline version. 😎😛

       @JohnBarentine NASA's budget in 2023 was about $25 billion.  The defense budget for 2023 was over $800 billion and the welfare budget was over $1 trillion.  They're not "hiding" anything behind NASA, the idea is ridiculous.  Ditto for private space companies; SpaceX spent about $1 billion, Blue Origin probably about the same.  The space program has been accused of stealing funding from social programs since it started and that's just nonsense.

       @stux @ErikUden We used to say artificial intelligence was no match for natural stupidity. Now it turns out natural stupidity is no match for artificial stupidity. 😎😛

       @stux We're not very happy with ourselves right now.
