This should be a fun little detail in a movie or something like that, but booting is just loading data, and doing that from analog media is nothing new.

edit: tbf, the author points that out, too. It’s just a little joke.

If this analysis is right, the chances of democratic political reform in China remain just as dim in the future as they were in the past.

Did anybody think otherwise?

But he already got it, that Venezuelan politician gave it to him! Totally voluntarily of course! (Don’t tell him it’s not the price itself but only the medal)

I listened to a primer about this board on the local news last night; apparently quite a few countries rejected it outright, and most of those that didn’t basically have it lying on their desks like a paper turd, not knowing what to do with it. AFAICS the majority says “not in its present form”, which would amount to a separate UN with a god king.

I’ve never heard any adult saying a dad is fun because they feed their kids fast food. Kids will love it of course (up to a certain point) but they’ll love it from mom, too.

There’d be more to open up here.

This is not an isolated case btw, US American operations have shit the bed all over in Greenland.

You drew this. Thank you!

She’s seen it all, both on TV and in her diner:

I love it when artists add off-plot detail like that.

Acacia gum? I don’t believe that “widely used” and “critical” mean the same in this case. (Gum arabic is used to cover all sorts of processed foods - famously M&Ms - so that they don’t stick)

That said, I wish the Sudanese people all the best.

TBF I have nothing against the hipster look - except for the various beards and 'staches. I tried it: a sculpted beard is a fuckton of work, like a second hairdo basically. It also requires appropriate growth; not all men have it.

the “hipster” look is alive an well with all the guys who opened overpriced barbecue or taco joints that serve whiskey and tequila.

Also dads who took up brewing as a hobby (at least around here)

Yep. And more likely in large cities than the rugged outback.

Does this mean Terminal is installed but one can only use it when one is logged into the store?

Or maybe I don’t understand Windows logic; it’s been over a decade for me.

alien: whelp, I guess it’s this then:

The world then did not perceive it in this context. That was still in 2022 iirc, in any case before Oct 7 2023. It was ragebait pure and simple.

Just one? It’s a start.

THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR 8 DECADES.
