They voted for the future. Unfortunately, they thought they would be millionaires/billionaires in the future.

We really don't tell Musk to go back to his own country enough.

My key take away from the article beyond the headline:

"Two sources said that the Department of Energy assessed in the intelligence report that it had “low confidence” the Covid-19 virus accidentally escaped from a labe in Wuhan.

Intelligence agencies can make assessments with either low, medium or high confidence. A low confidence assessment generally means that the information obtained is not reliable enough or is too fragmented to make a more definitive analytic judgment or that there is not enough information available to draw a more robust conclusion."

Somewhere in China, circa 2019 (Just kidding, I don't buy into that conspiracy)

Edit: Ah shit, here we go again...

I'm with you about Adam Savage. His philosophies about many aspects of life just resonate a lot with me and he is always so passionate about the things he's discussing or working on.

His view on organization being a continuous process finally clicked with me and got me to start putting my workshop in order.

I wonder if that will hold up in court for existing customers affected prior to the updated TOS.

Not a Lemmy issue. Click bait unfortunately works to drive views through all social media platforms.

The thing I love is being able to click into the comments first to see the auto-generated summary. Prevents the site from getting my traffic.

Fuck yeah, I'd be down for a QuietAfternoon2000. Hell, do they make one for adults? I'm ready for a good nap.

Glad I'm not the only one. Dude has a way with words!

Agreed! He plays the stoic sociopath really well, which is what I always seem to see him playing - Breaking Bad, Fargo Season 2 (less a sociopath here, but made very questionable choices), Black Mirror.

Yeah, that's Jesse Plemons. He's married to Kirsten Dunst of all things. I just finished watching season 2 of Fargo with him and Dunst - both were amazing in it.

I always think of him as "Walmart Matt Damon".

EDIT: Fixed his last name

IRL ad blocker would be something I'd wear a Google Glass-type device for. It does feel a little like an episode of black mirror though, filtering things from life.
