You can get a soil moisture meter for $12.99 on Amazon.

The trick with humour is it has to not be as dry as my mother’s cunt.

At least give us a “/s” so there’s no doubt bro.

What I’m hearing is that men in their seventies might be too old and weak to be world leaders…

Weird he hasn’t led his troops into battle without a shirt on yet. It’s almost as if his entire tough guy image is a lie.

I think you went a bit far there…

Check out the Mistborn and Wheel of Time series for books that are waaay better than Harry Potter. Anything by Brandon Sanderson and Neil Gaiman is a good time.

Also highly recommend any comics by Moebius and/or Alejandro Jodorowsky, and Neil Gaiman. Some incredible mind altering works to enjoy there like The Incal and Sandman.

Here are the number of hours I’ve spent on indie games VS AAA titles, according to my Steam library:

• Indie - Valheim - 435 hours
• Indie - Space Haven - 332 hours
• Indie - Satisfactory - 215 hours
• Indie - Dyson Sphere Program - 203 hours
• AAA - Skyrim - 98 hours
• AAA - Control - 47 hours
• AAA - Far Cry 6 - 29 hours
• AAA - Max Payne 3 - 43 minutes

If we’re talking about value - the amount of playtime I’ve gotten out of games with simpler graphics and unique ideas blows the billions spent by the industry out of the water.

My biggest gripe with big tech is how governments of the world encourage their worst behaviours. Governments and businesses have failed to maintain their own level of expertise and understanding of technology.

Today everything relies on tech but all the solutions are outsourced and rely on “guidance” and free hand outs from vendors like Microsoft. This has caused situations where billions are poured into digital transformation efforts with fuck all to show for it but administrative headaches, ballooning costs and security breaches.

I’m so tired of silicon valley frat boys being the leaders of our industry. We need to go back to an engineer and ideas led industry. Focused on solving problems and making lives better. Not making bullshit unsustainable business monopolies with a huge pile of money. Right now big tech is the embodiment of all of capitalisms worst qualities.

P.s. apologies if my comment is a bit simplistic and vague. didn’t want to write a 10 page rant but still wanted to say my 2c about the state of things.

This would be funny if it weren’t incredibly sad how many supposedly grown adults still fear words like “witchcraft” and “satanic”.

Let it happen, Laura Loomer is Trump’s Yoko Ono.

Ah yes, the original unviable silicon valley businesses! I love how they used their VC money to undercut and kill small businesses all over the world.

I think it’s a generational thing. As boomers die off their horrible values are passed on less and less. The few people in younger generations who got absorbed in racist, fascist and misogynist populism may die clinging to those values, but it will be harder to spread to the next generation in a post Trump loss climate. (Hopefully post Putin loss climate by then too!)

All that matters is the sponsorship tier - will you be flying the judge out to a vacation? Buying their mother a house? The outcome is solely dependent on your investment in the court. Justice.

No sane court? So it has a real chance of being decided by The Supreme Court…

Good. Fuck Putin.

I’ve always found it weird how obsessed with gay sex they are. I’m a gay man but I don’t think about gay sex as often as the average conservative. Weird.

You gotta think of it from the POV of a grown adult with the mind of a child…

It’s about coming for whatever she’s doing and being as harsh about it regardless of truth or context. They love a good misogynistic pile on.

One of my ex employers sold a construction company a six figure “building logistics system” which was just a Microsoft Access file. And the construction dudes had to use a CDMA dongle to remote desktop into a mainframe to open their access files. A travesty.

I reckon it’s hard to attach blame to Microsoft because of the culture of corporate governance and how decisions are made (without experts).

Tech has become a bunch of walled gardens with absolute secrecy over minor nothings. After 1-2 decades of that, we have a generation of professionals who have no idea how anything works and need to sign up for $5 a month phone app / cloud services just to do basic stuff they could normally do on their own on a PC - they just don’t know how or how to put the pieces together due to inexperience / lack of exposure.

Whether it’s corporate or government leadership, the lack of understanding of basics in tech is now a liability. It’s allowed corporations like Microsoft to set their own quality standards without any outside regulation while they are entrusted with vital infrastructure and to provide technical advisory, even though they have a clear vested interest there.
