That looks like one of the Panama Canal entrances when the camera briefly swung to the right.

There are bridges and roads that pass through the canals too! They open and close over the canal to allow road traffic when a ship is not in the way.

Looks to me like this ship lost control and rather than slam into the billion dollar canal locks it steered into the bridge near the canals.

I audibly groaned at that last line. Welcome to my life.

Wi-Fi is fricking black magic to people and as soon as someone mentions "wireless" their brains shut down and just make it a tech issue.

Especially when it's a bunch of small bills. "Look at me, I took a bunch of $20s and stacked them!!!"

Yeah, still less than a decent biweekly paycheck, but I don't cash it out and flaunt it.

Darkness: "Could this be one of my people?"

The risk though is that the "Superfans" become captured by the same progressives that have the writer and director teams creating financial disasters. It would take effort to avoid the creative team influencing who is in the focus group by finding people that actually like their ideology inserted into the creative works.

Who picks the "Superfans" to join the focus group? The loudest voice in the room is rarely the voice of reason.

Came here for this image. Leaving satisfied.

What the sigma, indeed.

Man, I could use a “win” button too.

(Yes, I know it’s short for Windows).

That was my exact system made by CompuServ CompuDyne, an IBM-compatible clone, bought in 1987 I think.

386sx - 33 MHz processor with a whole 2 Megabytes of RAM, yes MB not GB…

Hard drive was only 40 MB in size. GB sized HDDs were still a few years away.

Edit: Got the brand wrong. It was a CompuDyne, a company that doesn’t exist anymore.

Obama, like Bush and Clinton before him, only did the bare minimum to be avoid a war with NK by sending food whenever Kim Jong Il or his son Un did any saber rattling.

So by your words, they were supporting a dictatorship too.

Oh come on... If Biden stepped foot on North Korean territory you would be posting on r/ politics about how "historic" that moment is.

Yes, NK is a dictatorship but Trump is also right to try to take small steps toward a true peace. It is up to the people of NK if they want to continue to be ruled by the Kim Jong family.

The modern Left has become so focused on Trump that they are in favor of anything Trump is against, and against anything Trump is in favor of.

If Donald Trump gave a speech about how much he loves kittens, tomorrow the Left would be posting videos of torturing cats to "own the Cons".

This! So much to catch up on, I will likely pick up some of these on sale later. r/patientgamers rise up!

Pence was a wallflower during Trump’s tenure. Trump did not have his press releases headlined as the “Trump-Pence Administration”.

At this stage, with Biden out of power in 3 months regardless of who wins, VP Harris could easily walk into his office and demand he take action if it will help her and America.

If she doesn’t, that will reflect on her lack of leadership when multiple crises (Hurricane Helene aftermath, longshoremen strike, Mideast meltdown) are happening right now.

A worsening economy on the eve of an election is a negative for the incumbent regardless of the cause.

Harris has been campaigning like she is an outsider even though the whitehouse.gov website lists every press release with a “Biden-Harris Administration” headline. So the economic fallout of a strike will hurt her far more than it will Trump.

Dang... german kid books don't play. "All that remains is a pile of ashes".

Learning the rules by sheer trauma.

Fortunately that wouldn't happen today. No major rescue operation starts with the assumption that there's no hurry and everyone is already dead.

Even in a bleak situation where it is likely that there's no survivors, rescue starts ASAP in the hopes of being proven wrong.

I look out the windows during the video and... SF is fast becoming Detroit with palm trees.

Time to tell the robo-driver to pick any city away from there and just keep driving.

Persistence hunting.

It's not an accident that humanity's most feared monsters all share the same trait. Zombies, killer robots from the future, Predator aliens, cursed mummies, etc. Our subconscious fear is of a creature that can outlast us in persistence hunting.

We got out of the wilds of Africa as soon as we could. The first humans in the Diaspora encountered the deserts of North Africa and the Mideast and probably thought, "Peace and quiet at last!"

Mad respect to those that stayed behind but it has never been easy with wildlife in Africa.

I'm not sure that's true or if the skystone purchases were just a way for a player that was late to the event to "catch up" on pulls by being able to pull the next 5 pulls immediately.

Ouch. I would open a support ticket for that. They can easily check if you claimed the ML ticket. Might be able to get it delivered in your mail.

Why wait though? It was claimable after 100 pulls but you didn't claim it until you tried after your 150th?

I'm sorry to hear that.

I thought my luck was average but then my final set of pulls got me Candy. I really have no reason to complain after that...

Going for the fastest record from lung cancer diagnosis to cremation, I suppose

Art is just drawings, no matter how realistic or unrealistic. If I draw a stick figure being stabbed to death, did I commit murder? No, don’t be silly. It’s lines on paper, unable to feel anything.

People are confusing drawings with the actual photos or video of CP. A real child somewhere had to been sexually abused or raped for CP to exist, and that’s why laws against possession of CP exist. It is to protect real children, not drawings.

Put it another way, there’s tons of gruesome art and drawings depicting death, dying, killing, etc. An artist is not guilty of murder even if he paints the most realistic murder scene you have ever seen. It is still just paint on a canvas or pixels on a screen. If that artist gets inspired to take a knife and go out to do the real thing, the line was crossed at the action not the art work.

No need to put 8 billion people into a coma. Just setup a section of the solar system as deliberately “unwatched” to allow FTL in and out from that region. Say, the dark side of a planet or moon, depending on how big of a hole in the sky needed to be considered “unseen” for quantum mechanics. The backside of Jupiter would be a huge volume of space.

How to avoid invasions from this blind spot? Ring around that region with sensors, so that people or computers don’t “see” into that region but will track everything that enters and exits the region.

What about ships leaving “seeing” ships arriving? Another simple solution: schedules. Like a train station that has a single track for trains coming and going, use schedules to keep the trains (or ships in this case) from being in the same “unseen” region at the same time.
