Le Monde caught up with the primary investigating detective as he was enjoying a chocolate croissant and a double espresso at a charming little café. He had the following comment on the case:
“Yeah, we’ll be getting right on that. Everybody wants to find the culprits, and it’s totally not to hand them the nice gift basket we absolutely didn’t put together for them.”
I don’t disagree, but my problem is the ways in which it clearly isn’t Fallout. Specifically, FO has some deep lore that justifies the existence, mannerisms and internecine postures of the various factions, but here it’s apparently just… Waves of nutters take the first opportunity to move into a radiological quarantine zone and set up shop as conveniently thematic gangs for… reasons.
“Just think about it lads! Not only can we live in a place that’ll kill us on the cellular level, but we can wear theatrical facepaint - don’t ask where we’re getting a steady supply of that - like a 24/7 Kiss revival concert! It’ll be awesome! There’ll be matching top hats for everyone. Millinery is a real growth industry in here. Mind the mercury.”
But other than that, it looks fun enough.

Hah, okay. That’s pretty cool. If people are going to be writing farming bots anyway, one might as well make it the formal objective.
I’m fine right here, thanks. Although I’d been using Reddit for some time at that point, I permanently left Digg as part of the Great Exodus. I don’t see any particular appeal to going back to a centralized service, especially in the current climate.
I’m currently using Sayonara, but Rythmbox is perfectly fine too.
You… grinds teeth may… have a point.
I have a confession to make: Unless shell script is absolutely required, I just use Python for all my automation needs.
There’s a lot of things that could be included in such a program that would be useful for the general population to know both in times of war and in peace. Civil defense and emergency response. First aid, evacuation of wounded/incapacitated people from dangerous areas. Basic firefighting, shelter locations and evacuation protocols etc.
That might have made more sense if polygraph testing actually performed better than a dice roll. The US Congress Office of Technology Assessment and the National Academy of Sciences could’ve told DHS that, but I guess they didn’t think to ask.
Or think in general.

The MMR vaccine is the sixth most common global immunization. I’m sure they could find some additional doses if they tried just a little.
