Why is this brodozer asshole blocking the box in #SullivanSquare flipping ME off? You’re the fuckup here!
Why do we allow #NewHampshire plated vehicles into #Boston again? It’s not because they have money. Someone must be hiring non-union ditch diggers again.
If you’re going with Cordura, get yourself some denim needles. Also, time to be picky about your thread. Highly recommend Guterman all-cotton, as sun exposure eventually weakens many polyester blends.
Naw seriously tho, as recently as five years ago I was having to tell people "no, fascist militias with guns and pepe badges are not "anarchists" and I expect that at some point I'll have to repeatedly explain that again the next time nazis try to pass off their bullshit as "the real leftism/punk/rebellion."
Thankfully, they haven't been successful, but once I saw "MAGA Communism" I pretty much gave up on the idea that we could invent words they wouldn't try to steal; successfully or not.
@ai6yr I run technical product for mobility at Amazon Robotics (nee Kiva Systems), so all those orange and blue warehouse bots you see in the videos are my very good bebbehs :)
We see parts end up on eBay sometimes, usually scavenged stuff or pallets that “fell off of a truck”, so I’m always curious who buys them up and what they’ve managed to do with them without a spec sheet.
Remember: I cannot reply while live-posting, so plz use NFL (Not For Laffy.. no hashtag) so I can skip your replies. THANK YOU.
1/… more preamble, via Rupar:
Trump this morning printed out new NYT poll showing him ahead in swing states+ some Fox columns for good measure.
"A legal expense is a legal expense. It's marked down in the book, 'legal expense'" --Trump still pretending he doesn't understand why he was charged w crimes re Stormy payment
On the bros trying to build cities in Solano and elsewhere:
“What seems to be happening is people really want to ‘stay in San Francisco,’ but they want to exit society. … They don’t want to have to deal with the complexity, the differences, the poverty, the needs, the caring for others that was always part of urban culture. They want to escape. They want their own currency, their own culture, their own people. And they wanted it to look like Disneyland.”
In more bizarre Atari news – when has it not been bizarre lately – they’ve just revived Infogrames.
Wait. Isn’t the current Atari just a renaming of Infogrames?
Yes and no. Back in 2003, Infogrames bought Atari Corporation’s assets from Hasbro. They quickly renamed themselves Atari. But this wasn’t just a rebranding, they bought Atari’s decades-old IP as well – which includes Yars Revenge, Missile Command, Lunar Lander and others.
Unfortunately, this re-made Atari squandered this IP and instead tried to become a AAA publisher. They did manage to publish some landmark titles such as Unreal Tournament 2003, Neverwinter Nights, and Rollercoaster Tycoon. However, they were more known for shovelware and critically-panned games.
Eventually, they went bankrupt and had to sell off most of their prized AAA assets. This meant that they were mostly only left with their old Atari IP – which has been languishing for decades.
However, they still own some old Infogrames IP. Blood is one such example, and that game is stellar. Nightdive Studios even did a remake of it, and they did a good job too.
So what is Atari going to do with Infogrames? Use it to publish games that fall outside of the core Atari brand. The first game on the docket is Totally Reliable Delivery Service.
An entire career of applying concepts correctly shouldn’t be wiped out by the fact that you failed to carry the one while performing tricks for an interviewer.
