  1. Get her a PS5...oh wait...
  2. Nightmare fuel is the people who wake up during surgery but can't move or talk.
  3. Even if the movie is good and gets sequels, what about after book 4 or even with book 4. I don't know how many fans there are of the later books, I certainly dropped it after the fourth one.
  4. We did that in 99 with fake mig-29s, the body was made of sheet metal so it would react to radar and the engines would be metal barrels in which they would burn wood to simulate the heat of the engines. Enough to say that the supply couldn't keep up with the demands and almost all of the decoys were destroyed while none of the real planes were hit. We also did that with tanks in Kosovo, it worked so well that NATO claimed 181 tanks, 317 armored transporters, 857 cannons and 600 militray vehicles were destroyed. When they visited the sites of "destruction" with the press it's fair to say they were pretty embarrassed. When the Serbian army was pulling out of Kosovo they had convoys with 250 tanks, 250 armored transporters and 600 cannons, which was pretty much everything that was deployed there. We should have sent the brits a couple of those fake tanks as souvenirs.
  5. An independent report on Srebrenica finds that it's not a genocide. https://incomfis-srebrenica.org/
  6. More on Checkmate. https://www.aviacionline.com/2021/07/sukhoi-checkmate-an-advanced-yet-affordable-match-for-the-f-35-lightning-ii/
  7. Then you raise an issue, and the developer rejects the bug and tells you to clear your cache after which you see that now there is only a circle and the square hole.
  8. The drug doesn't have a patent (big clue), anyone can manufacture it, so one manufacturer speaking for or against it doesn't really tell us a lot.
  9. RUN! Joking aside my project was in Nonstop/Tandem...
  10. Thank you. Yeah around 30% increase in salary, but considering my salary was decreased a bunch in the last few years it's less than a 100 euros more a month than I had at my highest. I could have gone for a lot more money (for me at least), but I really wanted to get out of the company so I applied to a couple of firms I heard were good and took the best offer. There are plenty of fintech companies working with mobile apps nowadays, surprised yours doesn't have it.
  11. Way ahead of you! Signing the new contract soon and starting in a month. Been in the same company for way too long and I wasn't getting anywhere for the last couple of years...
  12. Putin announced a new Sukhoi jet call Checkmate... That is not pretentious at all...
  13. I was not discounting that the study was botched, just saying that there are proponents of the drug in the scientific world. The more interesting thing is what they talked about and that is that any discussion about the drug is being actively censored.
  14. It's easier to ngaf when you are directly employed for a company, it's another story when you are a contractor or worse yet an offshore contractor. There are usually rules for communication that you have to follow that are given by the outsourcing firm. This stops being as important once you work for a couple of years for the same client, but it's sometimes just easier to follow the rules. I usually start off with Hi so and so, and if I get asked "How are you" I just fire one back to them too. What's funny to me is that they really do start small talk by asking about the weather... I always thought it was just movies making fun of the office people, but no that really is the case...
  15. The podcast I linked before is all about Ivermectin. The two scientist on it talk about how there were live trials done with it on doctors on the front lines and the group that was on it had 0 infected while the group that wasn't on it had around 50% infection rate. They also mention that in countries that it was used in (Mexico, India, Zimbabwe...) there was a marked impact on the numbers. Their main point is that Ivermectin is a tried and true medicine that has well know side effect (of which there are none that are serious) and there is no downside to giving it to a patient that is not responding to any other treatment.

  17. If you guys are in to weird anime, give Chainsaw Man a go when it comes out, or else read the manga now (Alternatively for an even weirder story read Fire Punch).
  18. Random fan art I came across. Made me think of you guys.
  19. That is how you get X-Florida Man.
