There are several non-nuclear fixed-wing carriers in service worldwide. France has three other carriers that are not nuclear, though they’re helicopter-only and therefore not considered by some to be in the same category.

“Louis, time to stop playing and come to dinner!”

That painting should be old enough to be in the public domain.

It wouldn’t be Getty’s first time stealing an image.

“Socialism never took root in America because the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat, but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires.”

Actually, it’s *******

All asterisks?

But I was also taught that common decency is a good thing

Funny, I never saw it as a decency thing, more utilitarian. It’s a waste of effort to try to cram myself into an already occupied box (unless there are occupants staying in the box, of course).

We’re talking mostly 1970s, invented by boomers with too much money and free time

As XKCD once said, “An American tradition is anything that happened to a baby boomer twice.”

and a few randomly generated code numbers to just fuck things up in the database

Little Bobby Tables, we call him.

533.070 ⁰R for hipsters.

Sean Connery as Gandalf would have been a joke.

“End? No, the journey doeshn’t end here. Death ish jusht another path. One that we all musht take. The grey rain-curtain of thish world rollsh back, and all turnsh to shilver glassh… then you shee it.”

Now I kind of want to see it, in a hate-watching sort of way.

Marketing opportunity for Kim Dotcom.

It is 2010. It is the year of the Linux desktop.

It is 2018. It is the year of the Linux desktop.

It is 2026. It is the year of the Linux desktop.

Worst chair sauce

What do you want from physical buttons on the phone?

I would like dedicated back/home/recent keys, like on early Android phones. The back button also functioned as a “disconnect” button for phone calls, which was nice. I still miss it.

What I wanted was a nice little ranger style truck - 2 seater, can pick up some lumber, decent sized bed, for in my garage.

The Telo truck looks like it has promise, but it’s far from mass production. I hope it lives up to its promises though, I would love to see small trucks make a comeback.

Nightfire, Everything or Nothing, and From Russia with Love are all amazing spy shooters

I have to disagree on Nightfire–that game was painful (not as painful as Rogue Agent, but still).

EON and FRWL are great though…I’d love to see updated remasters/remakes of them.

The Postal series is essentially the videogame equivalent of Uwe Boll’s filmography*

Easily the best part of the entire article.

Is it licensing fees? I bet it is.

From the article:

the HDMI Forum (which manages the official specifications for HDMI standards) has officially blocked any open source implementation of HDMI 2.1. That means the open source AMD drivers used by SteamOS can’t fully implement certain features that are specific to the updated output standard.

Now make the rest of the keyboard.

Coming soon: 106-drum keyboard with Yamaha’s proprietary percussive switches and impact-triggered RGB lighting. Drumsticks optional.

Technically… technically…
