Good.

The Mars Climate Orbiter crashed because some fuckwit programmer at Lockheed Martin programmed their tiny piece of software in freedom units, instead of metric like they were required.

How [not] nice.

Mauritius will also be able to begin a programme of resettlement on the Chagos Islands,

After 50 years of abandonment, they’re going to have to rebuild everything from scratch. And Wikipedia notes that the islands are “All are low-lying atolls”, so any buildings or infrastructure is going to be underwater sooner rather than later.

This is nothing but a PR move.

There’s already UXO in America. In just the past four years, WWII have been discovered and detonated on three separate occasions - and that was just in New Jersey, I have no idea about what’s gone on in other states.

This was obvious from the moment they built a road cutting Gaza in half.

… dafuq’s a wolf berry?

If we stopped all shipments today, Israel still has enough weapons and ammo to continue their current spree for about 8 months. I say we cut them off and send these munitions to Ukraine instead.

Those are structural couches, providing a basin for more contents.

Those who fail to cope are threatened with dismissal and ‘execution.’

Sounds like motivation for the rail chiefs and their families to hop a train out of the country.

Right from the start, things seemed off. Some contestants said they had originally been told that the competition would have 1,000 participants. (This was also the figure advertised by Prime Video earlier this year.) But upon arrival, contestants received a video message from Mr. Donaldson, reviewed by The Times, informing them that the number of contestants was higher.

“Obviously, there’s 2,000 contestants,” Mr. Donaldson said in the video. “I don’t remember if I said that publicly or not, but there is.” A spokesperson for MrBeast said the intention had always been to have 2,000 competitors during that phase to winnow down to the 1,000 for the Amazon MGM show.

Honestly, it sounds like he decided that he didn’t want to hand everything off to Amazon and decided to double the contestants so he could post some shit on his YouTube. And then, having doubled the number of contestants, didn’t change any of the other preparations. If you work from that assumption, then a lot of the other stuff falls into place: there wasn’t enough food, there wasn’t enough medical attention, staff were pretty overwhelmed, etc. Not saying all of the problems came from there, but it sounds like a bunch of them did.

I’ll also add that there’s a clear lack of diversity on his planning crew. Any woman who spent five minutes thinking about it would’ve been advocating for a hygiene setup and would’ve pointed out that the women would be pushed out in that first scrum for jerseys. Real competition shows account for that shit.

If these are known common problems, shouldn’t Intel have accounted for them in their chip design?

Hunh. Now I’m wondering how many soldiers and security personnel have had loved ones kidnapped from the occupied areas.
