Exactly! I don't care what anyone else does at all with any of their loved ones. And I expect the same. What kind of an asshole stands in between that situation.
Not to mention that we pay for the bandwidth they use to show us ads. Like WTF! Since when did NBC as people to chip in for them to show us McDonald's commercials?
We never buried my Dad's ashes ⚱️. That's dumb. Why go establish a debt to keep someone's ashes in a bottle. We keep them in the living room. It's just ashes. I personally agree with Trump on this. He's still going to loose and am still gonna kick his nuts off when I find him in hell after I pass away. And most Mexicans aren't fucking....not right now at this moment. It's daylight. We're working.
Lead kills at high speed, at low speed and it turns trucks gay....ok got it all written down. Now. Let's talk about why all trucks come with a prolapsed anus and why Elon wants to remove that too
Sounds great 👍😃
No! Not my permanent record! So what does it say? Cuz my permanent record is that part from Micheal Jackson's song .."another one bites the dust..." It just repeats permanently.
Let'm have it!
Also I really hope to win the president choosing lottery! I only need to have chosen exactly what the unelected electoral college chooses! Yey democracy!
It was probably an emergency exit hatch for the magic rocket gas.
They should be required to release drivers such that massive e-waste wasn't generated suddenly. I mean, why does the government allow a software company to own an monopolize the hardware? Hello Google! Good luck 🤞 with the monopoly assholes!
How about just jacking off? I don't want to be buried while jacking off, so you all know.
It's a shit post, not news. If you ignore the details and focus on the headline things looks worse. Now imagine yourself living in a city where a guy shoots another guy just because the other guy is drugging himself. I'm sure nothing would have happened for example if the druggie wasn't bothered....but then why isn't he doing that elsewhere at his home? Because probably he doesn't have one! Or maybe he got kicked out of his because of the drug problem? Or worse, he's got a home but want his family and kids to see his addiction. See. Keep asking why. Why is he addicted? Because he was able to get drugs. Why? ....is it because the Chinese are sending drugs thru Mexico or Canada? Or maybe there's an evil axis of people who want drugs in Seattle such that less people are attracted to the city and maybe they can afford it again? Or maybe they want to buy the entire city so this is just to scare the remaining owners of homes and shops there? That's how it happened in San Diego. It used to be a drug shithole, then suddenly people started buying up property, you know, to help. And that cleaned up the city, for a while. Then now it's a shithole again.
Because I added extrapolated news about revenge that never was.
Clearly he's hurting. Probably passed away in a dark place when the straw got stuck in his esophagus.
As a commentary on the daily "Florida man" level of weird shit that happens in Seattle, shooting a guy for getting drugged at your establishment is getting the the purge line. So here I propose that the level be escalated. Couldn't a well drugged fella find revenge for his compatriot who's been wrongfully ended by a shop keeper? But the sarcasm brings the reader to reality when the drugged guy can't even get revenge by attacking the closest thing to the enemy he could find. Instead, the cat gets a good 8 inches shorter and distributes it's inner contents on the owner's driveway.
One could end the commentary here, but I suppose there is a million other ways the situation could escalate. Like maybe 🤔 migrants who might be homeless start getting tragedies at random. And maybe that shifts over to just normal people who look like homeless migrants...blah blah...this just in! Super model dressed in homeless migrant fashion gets KO'd by gas station owner. It turns out she was just gonna pay for a Twinkie. Just like that, Seattle gets 0.00001% weirder.
Yeah it's just a cat. Probably their 🐈 cat. So it's okay 👍. If they can hide it quickly.
/Sarcasm 🙄.
Tied on a rope made from putin? Yup. I got banned too.
I was surprised at how many bozo candidates ended up on the ballot who no body ever talked about.
Dude! We're gonna be rich 🤑!!!! That's the candidate I didn't pick! Imagine the possibilities if it's also the candidate the actual electors that actually not vote for president pick! Yes!
DEMOCRACY LIVES! 💪!!!
In other news at a gas station near by...
In other news, more and more drugged up SUV drivers seek vengeance by running over innocent gas station bystanders.... most of the time it turns out to be just a cat, so it's okay.
That's such bullshit. Locked phones are like google accounts. At the end of the 2 years of owning it supposedly, you end up with all this shit you accumulated and no way to save it anywhere practically.
Maintaining a level of anonymity.
I figure this would be a good place to ask. Im not paranoid but I say a ton of stupid stuff on the Internet. It's fun having conversations with total strangers after work 😁. Anyway, I was thinking. Could I keep a level of anonymity if I just created new accounts every month for example? Is that a thing people use? Like every month you just abandon your bs account and get a completely new account on google. Google specifically since they are the assholes that keep selling our data.
Seattle is like "come to downtown please"
No thanks, I'm good. You guys go ahead and ticket each other until you all go bankrupt. The rest of us will just stand right here and watch the whole stupidity unfold.
AI is about to steal your date!
We all know it, AI is better than you so just move over and let AI do the job 😉.
Simple parametric python model
Recently I've been planning on designing some optics, nothing fancy just for a projector system that I'm messing around with. Anyway I got this idea that I could basically model the optics in blender using lux core to simulate the light path as it bounces the mirrors and passes through the lenses.
So I am able to create lenses and parts of any kind O can think of but I would love to be able to control the parts after I've created them via parameters like radius of curvature for example for a mirror.
Is that possible using a python script? Like somehow keep the script that created the geometry somehow linked to the geometry in such a way that I can come back to the script and change it later or maybe even change it using the timeline and key frames?
Welcome to the Solid Works 3D experience!
Oh yes! The 3D experience!
Go ahead sign in! Tell us how our shit product is broken. That's valuable information that we SOLIDWORKS can keep to ourselves and make you create a new username and password combo to remember. Ofcourse your data regarding anything is actually ours. We own it! Thanks!
Stop it with the fridge joke!
I keep having to remove all sorts of
Elephants 🐘, penguins 🐧, and giraffes 🦒 and other funny animals from my imaginary joke fridge!
Go get me a funny 🍺 beer!
Surprise! It's another elephant.
10 Things to do after installing Lychee!
1)You get thru downloading the thing since it advertises support for your printer, 2)Click on it to start using it right? 3)Right? 4)X out of the login window because you don't have a login and don't want one thanks. 5) Put the newly downloaded file in the trash bin. 6) Right click on the trash bin and "empty trash" 7-10) Relax for a bit since you don't have yet another data collecting app spying on you. But then post about how shitty the experience was.
I can't believe anyone would actually create a login to use an app like this. Fuck that. I will just use shitty chitubox for now. Fuck^2, but at least I don't live in some shit server with all my 3D models stolen or my credit card or GPS or whatever the fuck they want to get from me. I'm sure chitubox is already doing it, but hey I don't need a password for that.
Nasal flu vaccine speculation.
Would it be awesome if they put some of that vaccine and other vaccines in the bottled water, sodas and swimming pool water? Everyone eventually has to drink water, so why not to it little by little thru a global low dose in the global water supply?
All answers accepted, specially the really wrong ones.
New shower 🚿! All yours for 1 kick!
That's right! Your hearing is perfect! If you allow anyone from our secret staff members who come and offer you a brand new shower to just kick your groin once, you will get it installed absolutely free!
No questions asked! A guy comes in, offers you a new shower, installs it, and if they kick you in the groin and they happen to be one of our secret staff members, you get it all installed for free!!!
Ofcourse you do need to pay for the shower and tax. But the kick is absolutely free once installed right in the groin!

Basically, you run a PBS style fund raising campaign. But it's so effective because you got a gun, you are law enforcement and the donors all need to drive that one highway. Say you need $10,000,000.00 just stop 10million people who happen to have 1 dollar. Or if you stop 100k people who happen to have 100 bucks, or 10k people who have 1000 bucks with them, you're good to go!
So PBS just needs a good cop car donation and a couple of fake badges to get their funding too!

Scam speeding ticket
I searched for the email address and although it's a scam, it's white listed in some random place
Email wowsers continue
Well I set up my email server thru cloudflare and managed to receive emails directly to my basement server. I could live with this and the various security threats incoming thru my unifi. But one thing is for sure, my wife won't have any of it. She's a total backwards thinking give me windows or I'll jump kind of Gal. So I found that I could run a dockerized Thunderbird instance and I thought ... Wow! I can just login to it from my computer or my phone, Surely this is it! I can have emails backed up from Gmail to my server and just access my server! And you know what? It works! I can access my Gmail on my browser! It's beautiful!.... But then I login through my phone and wow! I can access my Gmail! Thru my phone! Except the interface is the same as my desktop. It's literally a VNC to the server. I can login to it on my desktop and watch the mouse move as I move my finger on my phone! Great party trick, but....the text is microscopic. So is there another way to get IMAP and SMTP interface to Gmail, archiving all emails on my own server? I literally don't want any of my emails to live on a Gmail server, but I want to be able to send receive and search emails I previously passed through Gmail but now live on my server.
They almost got me!

One day soon probably.
ruzzia is the only country unaware of the gun problem in the US
"The West does not want to avoid escalation. The West…is asking for it," Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said.
Unless they plan to drop some bombs over our heads I don't see how WW3 with the US involved would result in better accomodations for the ruzzians.
I'm a lazy gunless asshole typing away from my couch. But if some grade a asshole from ruzzia came to bother me, I probably could easily run downstairs and grab any one of many power tools capable of removing ruzzians body parts.
I believe the Ukrainian defense is going to kick ruzzians ass pretty good. Hopefully soon we'll see putin coming out of a smokey hole in the ground on a grainy YouTube video. putin is the real reason for the war. Removing him might bring up a few more people like him, but those can be removed since the public won't be behind them.
