Intel, the Boeing of silicon

This is my surprised face

Don’t forget that every recent Intel CPU contains an extra 486-based system on a chip running a stripped-down version of Minix (a predecessor of Linux), to implement the remote management engine.

He’s Woody Allen with the pseudointellectual posturing replaced with grossout gags

Such a compilation is unlikely to be published. There’s a phenomenon known as the Werther effect, in that as soon as suicide is mentioned in the news or popular culture, the suicide rate goes up (presumably as the awareness of it tips those who have been on the verge). As such, news publications have guidelines to avoid mentioning suicide as a motivation (often, the only tell will be a footnote at the bottom of a story giving the phone number of a suicide hotline). If such a compilation came out, it could be expected to trigger a wave of suicides, if not a small but noticeable permanent increase in the frequency of suicide, so I imagine few publishers ok r booksellers would touch it.

They also declared Biden unfit to run. Which translates as imploring the high-minded liberal centrists they envisage their audience to be to stay home and sit this one out. Meanwhile, the MAGAts will be voting.

It may do the Amish well to start quietly hoarding supercapacitors as soon as Amish-Mormon relations start souring. Or even before: one could make a case for a preprepared EMP bomb being the Amish equivalent of a nuclear deterrent against any potential aggressors.

Unsurprising that this happened in Queensland, the Florida of Australia.

If the Amish can somehow detonate a large enough EMP, they’re in with a chance.

In 10,000 years’ time, archaeologists will speculate on the religious significance of the VW cipher.

Someone did set up a tourist shop selling T-shirts reading “I like Fucking in Austria”, though the locals found it a bit undignified. (Austria can be a somewhat conservative place, especially in rural areas.)

From the media’s point of view, he is now the PM-in-waiting.
