I’ll have you know I’ve never paid for Windows in my life!

And have to dig up even more earth using even more big machines? If you did a 50ft power line underground, that’s 50 ft of earth that has to be dug up, not to mention what happens whenever something inevitably goes wrong and you have to dig it all up again. Then you also have to bury transformers, which means you need to cool them.

There’s many, many good reasons that we use power lines over burying them. Mostly, power lines are so significantly cheaper and easier that it’s not even comparable. I’ve seen the bill when a buried fiber line gets broken. It is crazy expensive.

“A Head in the Polls”

Nixon becomes president, arguing that no body can be President more than twice, but he doesn’t have a body

Either Benderama where Bender gets billions of clones that almost wreck the world or the free will device episode.

Honestly this one’s incredibly vague

Bend Her

Which is… Certainly an episode of all time

Same!

I definitely think it’s the best of the compilation episodes, though I did quite enjoy the one from the new season. Mostly cause I’m super nostalgic for those old mystery books

Naturama!

It’s the compilation episode where they’re all different animals. They start off as salmon.

Kiff tries to challenge Bender to sleep with Amy. It doesn’t go well for Kiff.

No, but they shouldn’t be driving to the polls.

And this is America, so driving is usually the only option

Luck of the Fryrish I believe.

That or the movie where he loses his lucky pants

Either way, he declares that his luck is changing right before the ladder he’s climbing into the sewer has a bar break off, sending him plunging into either just the water or onto someone slimy

Edit: wait, it’s definitely Luck of the Fryrish. They’re heading to Old New York to find Fry’s clover. Same deal, the ladder breaks after he declares no more bad luck

Can’t for the life of me remember the episode title 😭

Fry makes Leela a weird and terrible comic about saving her.

Then he saves her later in the episode

I would commission… An opera!

Discoloration (especially black or red), extreme flakiness, size (too big or too small), and probably some more things I can’t think of

Yeah, Trump looks like he’s from a polaroid and Diddy seems like a digital camera. It’s definitely some weird lighting conditions

Ah, appreciate it! Love a cool depth of field and lighting effect making things look fake effect, but not when its something actually important!

Honest question - is that second Diddy pic real? The lighting looks really strange to me for some reason. Not like AI, more semi decent at best photoshop

Anthropic’s Claude models performed worse than OpenAI’s, but smaller Claude models more often declined to answer when uncertain (which is good!).

It’s right there, bud

Went back to a TN high school recently for the first time since graduating to do some work.

They had to call local police to check my tool box to make sure it didn’t have a gun hidden anywhere, which took almost an hour.

Every single door is locked constantly. Every classroom is locked with a key, so anyone needing to get inside needs the knock to be let in and disturb class. If the teacher needs to go to the bathroom between periods, all the students not already in the class are locked outside.

At one point, I left a door propped open cause I didn’t want to disturb the people running lines. The principal, who used to be my principal at another school, attempted to give yell at me over it.

They’ve also distributed an iPad to every student to act as a hall pass. Except they have to request the pass, raise their hand, ask to use the bathroom, then the teacher has to pull out their iPad and approve it. All of this takes a ton of time.

Starting this year, they only get 3 passes a day. Period. Anymore and the principal has to approve it personally or it’s detention. They have nothing in place to make it so kids with intestinal issues can have more passes, and this systems been in place for 3 years now. Every student I talked to told me they knew someone who pissed their pants in class because they weren’t allowed to leave under threat of detention or suspension.

TN schools and TN in general is just fucked beyond belief now. And the people who put all these ridiculous policies into place are all currently running unopposed.

The Covenant School shooting and moronic conservative parents having an insane amount of control has straight up regresses TN schools to a worse point of security theatre than post columbine or 9/11. All over a single shooting.

Edit: apologies for my horrendous grammar. However, I’m currently too tired to fix it right now

Fascists co-opt other groups and movements constantly because fascists don’t create, they only take and destroy. But hydro homies is well past it’s incredibly edgy start and is now just the liquids equivalent of Linux users - never shutting up about how superior they are for doing a minor thing.

Fascists definitely love the in group-ness of it, but there’s no “only soda” group that’s fighting them and therefore no one to point to as an “other” to forward fascist ideals. Hydro homies is extremely low on the priority for the fascist pipeline. They are incredibly obnoxious when they leak out though.

Also, I vote the potential only sodas group to be called the “soda jerks”

Wtf do hydro homies have to do with this?
