“Today I want Greenland and Venezuela and Cuba and…”

Except Greenland is a part of Denmark, so it should also have pink figures?

“What is this? Fast food for ants? It needs to be at least…three times bigger.”

My personal favorite:

The clockwork man, was built of wire and tin

His eyes shone bright in the night

Bereft of soul and cast without a skin

He shambled, and cried a plaintive plight

Many states already do this. California makes you take a multiple-choice exam, for example.

3.14 acres of enclosed space, and still barely enough to support a crew of eight people. I think OP is going to need a bigger bag of plants.

Remember how Biosphere 2 went so badly that the crew nearly starved to death, but no one bothered doing a Biosphere 3? That might be a good step before attempting long-term Moon or Mars missions.

Ah, the classic “all eggs in one basket” strategy.

Nine day hearing, and now the judge will sit on their ass for five months. Apparently the sixth amendment means nothing now.

In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial

Sixth amendment:

In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial…

Just because it’s routine doesn’t mean we should accept it. The current state of affairs is horrible for defendants (in jeopardy for months or years regardless of outcome, not to mention legal costs) and horrible for the public (justice delayed is justice denied).

Trump’s uncanny ability to stall trials for years is a big part of why he’s not in prison right now.

A lot of open-source software uses copyleft licenses like GPL. If a company uses that code to build its own products, then some or all of their new code may also become open source. This is an important part of how open-source projects stay open. Organizations like FSF have taken big companies to court over this and won.

AI companies trained their slop-generators on that open-source code. In many cases, it will reproduce it line-for-line. But courts currently hold that the generated code is no longer subject to the original copyright restrictions. It’s nearly impossible to publish open-source software without being scraped for AI training.

The after-credits scene in “Four and a half Vulcans” is comedy gold.

Pretty sure I fought one of those in Silksong.

Maybe it’s like Toy Story. Batman figure just found out he’s a toy, drank a bunch of Jäger, and then reverted to the dormant state because someone was looking.

How is this a science meme?
