Quite apart from which, the insanity of making laughably trifling attempts to geoengineer or "terraform" the Earth while simultaneously declining to stop DEterraforming it with both hands is hard to even state properly.
"A very courageous decision, Minister."
Pardon in 5... 4... 3...
20% as many factual errors would still prevent a human being from being hired by anyone except a Republican administration or Fox News
What a great sentence. It's an exact cognate for "proactively shutting the gate after the horses have bolted":
"Google Cloud has implemented preventative measures in response to the identified events that precipitated this disruption."
"Preventative measures in response to" the precise conditions that occurred. I have had to work with colleagues who fix bugs this way, the famous "if this one thing happens, don't do the bad thing" clause. It basically just makes for less-maintainable code, often introduces new bugs and is a way of avoiding the difficult question "why is the system innately unprepared for this eventuality and even capable of producing this outcome?"
Let's make sure I've got this right:
Person who proclaims her own innocence of the crime of which she was convicted also proclaims the innocence of someone willing and able to pardon her.
Well. Glad we cleared that up!
I just need advanced filters that let me do things like "hide gif-only replies".
I've got an even better idea: why don't we build a fusion plant on the sun?
I bet a riot van is a lot less fun than it sounds
Typo, "apply" for "Apple":
People are starting to question “why isn’t apply doing things with AI”.

Meanwhile if you'e selling untaxed cigarettes and actually survive your arrest you end up in a real hellhole.
That's what the polls said last time, too, which is why, along with the supposedly non-binding nature of the referendum, is why so many didn't turn up to vote.
@transdiffusion I always thought London Weekend Television was just the box that John Alderton and Pauline Collins came in
Y'know, paper plates are a thing, and didn't I hear somewhere that goats can digest cellulose?

There's a construction worker with a nail gun working about 50 yards away, and he keeps recreating that one drum bit from The Cars' "Let's Go", that comes after "she's a frozen fire". Every time. I've had it stuck in my head all morning, and every time I move it out he puts it back.
