Oh yeah it’s totally a bullshit argument, it wouldn’t hold water in any court. Hell if nothing else, the ground stations like you said, or the country whose airspace the center exists over, would be in jurisdiction.

But I do believe that Musk believes it’s a get out of jail free card.

Putting them in space also puts them technically outside of the legal jurisdiction of any country. I figure fElon probably assumes that means said servers can never be subpoenaed.

They aren’t defending shit

Chad mod action nuking whatever this exchange was but leaving the bit at the end where the guy was humble and respectable

A weapon to surpass Metal Gear…

My buddy used to keep a traffic cone in his trunk to slap on the roof of the car so we could find it again easily

Yeah well if Sony would have just let em cook and provided me with PC ports of Bloodborne and Demon’s Souls then they would have happily received my money. Instead they get to recieve an extended middle finger.

This is one of the worst things I’ve ever seen, I applaud you wholeheartedly. Very well done. Get the fuck off my forums

Yep.

My mother submitted every single photo of me she has to some AI art service, spent the next six months sending me slopped-up photos of myself, and is somehow unable to understand why I might be upset about the situation.

I quit IT work to be a mechanic. It’s exactly the same problem-solving process, but the problems are almost always way less arcane. I’m very happy with the switch.

If you wanted to make the switch yourself, the skill sets are very interchangeable. You’re just debugging an alternator instead of an Active Directory setup. If you have a willingness to learn you’ll be up to speed in under a year.

Second for sh.itjust.works

I picked this server cause the name was funny and it was large enough that I expected not to run into small-server problems.

I stayed because I have not run into any small-server problems and our admin is a very cool guy.

Very goofy and annoying for modders since if you wanted a useful name you have to first decompile Minecraft, then change all the names, and then when you compile change all references to said names in your code back to their actual obfuscated nonsense.

I expect this is what things like Forge were handling, right?

Constant acceleration at 9.8m/s^2 in a given direction will bring you close to the speed of light eventually, but yeah, I’m also not super sure how this math checks out

“primalmotion, I’m afraid I can’t do that”

It’s 2026 you never know what the fuck is about to happen out here

Stop right there, criminal scum! You’ve violated the law!

I got mine at 24.

My parents flat refused to allow me to get a driver’s license, I assume because it would have given me the freedom to leave their house under my own power. I didn’t end up getting one until after I went to and came back from college.

I learned from a driving school, since my parents seemed uninterested in teaching me.

The experience of trying to hold a job or get to and from class between the ages of 18-24 is one of the primary experiences driving me to the idea that American public transportation sucks absolute asshole and desperately needs improvement. It used to take me two and a half hours to get to work. My work was a 15 minute drive from my house, but since my wonderful father refused to drive me to and from work, I would have to take a bus all the way across town to the central station and then hop another bus to take me all the way back across town to damn near the same place I got picked up at.

Is the single red LED solid, or is it flashing Morse for “please kill me”?

Reminds me of a joke I heard a few years ago.

The “Tech Enthusiast” : My whole home is rigged up with smart systems! I can control my AC and my lights from my phone from 1,000 miles away!

The Tech Engineer : the most recent piece of equipment I own in my home is a printer from 2003 and I keep a loaded gun next to it in case it makes a noise I don’t recognize.
