Computer science: 2+2=4 (for integers at least; try this with floating point numbers at your own peril, you absolute fool)

Antarctica

Why am I reminded of one old comic? It went like this:

(Scientists on an Antarctic base)
Scientist 1: (Finishes talking about something normal)
Scientist 2: (Disheveled and visibly unhinged) "Well none of that shit matters. Do you know what happened to my stack of Playboy magazines?"
Scientist 1: (Now also suddenly disheveled and visibly unhinged, whips out a knife) "They're mine now!"
Scientist 2: (Also whips out a knife) "Oh yeah?"
Scientist 1: "Yeah! What are you gonna do about it?"
(Altercation ensues)

Yeah, that company has red flags.

Red flag number 1: the contents of the note

Red flag number 2: using duct tape to attach the note to the wall. Hints at a huge managerial Skill Issue.

I can think of few places that are more uncomfortable to dine on than a car seat.

...actually, car seats are pretty uncomfortable places to do anything, really. You expect to be able to do stuff comfortably there, but you just can't. It's weird. And at the same time it's not so uncomfortable that you stop doing stuff there entirely. And you're like "what's wrong with me?" but then you realise it's not your fault after all - it's the cars that are weird.

Oh yeah, they have a plan all right.

Now, the plan isn't any good and everyone gets screwed, even them.

But it is, technically speaking, a plan!

On the other hand, I think safe-harbour laws are very much necessary if we want the Internet to work for the positive good of the world. We want the companies to take reasonable precautions and act on problematic stuff if it crops up, but that's probably enough.

But on the other hand, jeez, have you seen what kind of discussion shitholes Facebook and Twitter have cultivated? If your company is being described as an accessory to genocide, maybe something has already gone horribly wrong.

A couple of minutes in Dystopika, annnnnd....

Yet another unrealistic music video. It's a relatively short song and Eclipse will not start fast enough.

I'm in the crowdfunding credits for Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning, and that film was made before crowdfunding was cool. Preordered the DVD too, and wasn't disappointed.

See, America? Gun control is not the end of the world! You can safely implement sensible firearms legislation. You can just move to Some Other Thing after that! It's not hard!

Leatherback sea turtles are hella neat! Deepest diving of all of the turtles. Absolutely fearless.

Is that less or more the energy of your average Falcon Punch?
