Weekend Bernie’s does not get the recognition it deserves! Such an amazing/stupid movie that I haven’t seen in far too long.

I believe the image is from one of the poles, rather than the side view we usually see.

Same-sies! It’s totally… thought provok… ilarious… timely?

Reminds me of this trailer I came across the other day.

How about 1800SPANKME from the since deleted scene in The Santa Clause?

Ok. It took some research, but I think I have it worked out. You have to either be using the gboard keyboard or go to the emoji kitchen website. From the website, you can just combine, copy, and paste. From Gboard, you need to select the smiley face next to the space bar OR click the 4 squares and then go into “emoji.” From there, you can select 2 emojis (assuming they are compatible) to create a new emoji, or select 1 and choose one of the recommendations. I can’t get it to work from my phone in the Voyager app, but I also can’t guarantee that’s Voyager’s problem vs. mine. It does work on my texting app, however, so I know it works. For further reference.

I’ll be the sacrificial dumb guy here. Are the posts here just copy/paste, or is there a way to force some emojis together? Secondary question, how do I just type in a Unicode value into my phone keyboard to get an emoji?

I think Con Man is available on Prime. I just watched the first couple episodes, myself.

I don’t understand why this one isn’t better known. It’s great.

Definitely a great film worth watching.

Nineteenth century goth girls turned up to 11.

I love where he goes on a bike ride to show relative sizes and distances in the solar system.

But if I had to come up with my favorite obscure Bill Nye reference, it would have to be this spoof of a 90s dating gameshow on Almost Live.

I don’t know anything on this topic, so with a grain of salt, might I suggest Child Welfare Services could get involved to figure out why the 10-year-old is tending towards such delinquent behavior at such an early age?

Computer chips, simplified, consume inputs of 1s and 0s. Given the correct series, it will add two values, or it will multiply two values, or some other basic function. This seemingly basic functionality, done in very specific order, creates your calculator, Minesweeper, Pac-Man, Linux, World of Warcraft, Excel, and every LLM. It is incredible the number of things you can get a computer to do with just simple inputs and outputs. The only difference between these examples, on a basic, physics level, is the order of 0s and 1s and what the resulting output of 0s and 1s should be. Why should I consider an LLM any more sentient than Windows95? They’re the same creature with different inputs, one of which is specifically designed to simulate human communication, just as Flight Simulator is designed to simulate flight.

The Civ 2 advisors were by far my favorite. I would pay extra for a mod that lets me replace all the dull built-in 3d graphics advisors with Eagle Team advisors.

Every new version of Civ, I hope they reintroduce live action advisors like the ones from Civ II.

I read the headline and had one thought: let me guess, his job?

Iirc, the design goes back a few hundred years or so, and they were intended as either lion claws or dragon claws, wrapped around an orb.

Incidentally, you’ll also find pineapples are commonly found carved in older furniture. Pineapples were considered a symbol of hospitality. Again, as I recall, because it’s been a while since I learned about this stuff.

Prat falls, cane twirling, roller skating.
