The rich at this rate

Bit of a blind spot there

That last article at the bottom mentioning Osama and Saddam, I believe we call that “dramatic irony”

When Musk gets kicked out of art school, we’d better be ready

Yeah, they make Link Amps

Typically people will prefer the option that gives them a $50 water bill over a $200 one.

We had tried this in SC in expanding one of our sites from one to three. It did not go terribly well.

I’m guessing this is just going to be an on-demand version of NASA TV? Which is still cool, it’s one of the only places I’ve seen that you can actually hear about real science just flipping through channels (looking at you “Science” channel)

Good!

This one is so reposted in my Star Trek groups that they ban you if you post it. Just a heads up if you’re just now getting into Star Trek stuff…

If you’re trying to find work if the remote gig fails, good friggin luck

Oh this worked out really well when you have lemmynsfw posts in your feed …

Gotta have a place to leave lists of their IRC servers

thank Mr. Skeletal

Shut up and take my gold.

Wait.

It’ll never work.

Gravity Falls?

One. One nuke could potentially disrupt it…but it’s not really advised for a few reasons:

• If the conditions are still there that built up the storm, you’ve basically just nuked some wet air - if the pressure gradient remains and the waters are still warm, it very much could simply reform immediately
• Dumping large amounts of energy into an active system might just turn it a different direction, unpredictably; you might steer a storm right into Miami that was just going to hit some empty marshes
• Dumping large amounts of radioactive materials into a storm heading towards you might just end up making a giant somewhat radioactive hurricane, which is not great
• Puerto Rico does not appreciate you dropping nukes just offshore

The nice things about the Federated universe is that, yes, you can bulk create user accounts on your own instance - and that server can then be defederated by other servers when it becomes obvious that it’s going to create problems.

It’s not a perfect fix and as this post demonstrated, is only really effective after a problem has been identified. At least in terms of vote manipulation from across servers, it could act if it, say, detects that 99% of new upvotes are coming from a server created yesterday with 1 post, it could at least flag it for a human to review.
