Concept2 rowing machines. Even if they break, you can still buy spare parts at reasonable rates even for the very first model, which is decades old and only sold a few copies. Fantastic engineering.

Yeah I know. I had a much longer comment all written out, but after reading it, it was just too depressing and I deleted most of it.

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz

He won’t be around for much longer anyway. His chancellorship will effectively end december 16th with a vote of no confidence. The one who will likely succeed him (Friedrich Merz, CDU) will do less then nothing for the environment anyway.

What difference would it even make if they attended this useless greenwashing feel-good event, if that attendence never seems to be followed up by any meaningful action?

Remember not to be black.

Well, a punch in the face is a pretty clear communication, just with a very limited vocabulary.

Another one that I love roasted

Just don’t try that with white asparagus, that really needs to be cooked IMHO.

In 2006, a movie was released in which an evil AI is defeated by Shia LeBouf.

I actually really liked that, too. Fudge the critics!

If only the front would fall off…

Personally, if I was unhappy with your posts, I’d just shrug and then block you. Case closed :)

The company claims that E-Cat technology can charge the battery of an electric vehicle continuously while it is driving. E-Cat Power provides 24/7 continuous, unlimited and sustainable electricity without generating emissions or requiring fuel.

Don’t mix smoking meth and writing what apparently passes as articles these days, folks!

ATI Mach32 EISA. It looked to good on paper, but somehow, it did not make DOS go brrrrrr 😟

Lexx - The Dark Zone.

Pure Canadian-German Madness with a really great cast and the wildest stories ever. And what other show has a certified anti hero as starship captain?

To be honest, I thought that trailer was very weak. I am not sure it would make me pick up the game if it was free - and I loved the original VtM:BL.

no like?

No spooky eyes, no extra limbs, no eery smile? - 100% real, genuine photograph! 👍

Another theory is that people with children want you to have some, too, because they have no other topics available for discussion.

I’m in way over my head as it is. I can’t even imagine what it would be like having to be responsible for some gremlins, as well. We do not even dare get a cat (or two - you should always get two so they’re not lonely) for the same reason. Good thing my SO sees it exactly the same way. We’re both glad we didn’t have children.

Welp, looking at that face, I guess you can never leave again.

(re)Ditched Windows on my PC a while ago, still have to use Windows at work. Just checked my work laptop running Windows 11 (standard laptop, not a “Copilot+PC”) - sure enough, that Recall shit is installed and active. Disabled it, and made a post in our main company Teams channel with screenshots. Will be interesting to see if there are any reactions to this.

To find out if it is active in Windows 11, open up ‘cmd’ and use: (typing this from memory, hope it is correct)

dism /online /get-featureinfo /featurename:Recall

to disable it, you need a ‘cmd’ instance with admin rights:

dism /online /disable-feature /featurename:Recall
