Just looked up the episode (2015, Ep8). (also some cool U2 stuff)

They’re investigating whether it would be deadly by cutting through your neck. Drone tech has also changed significantly in the last decade. They literally have trouble flying straight and level and hitting the neck of their dummy. But their main problem is the drone hits something and falls away. They put the same smaller prop on a stick and saw into a plucked chicken. Their bigger one did actually slice the neck open before falling away.

Modern drones have much more powerful motors. From personal experience even the folding blades will give you at least surface cuts. Do not randomly assume they will not cut you, especially if you grab them.

In addition to the script you have a configuration file that defines what, when, and how. Each script has it’s own config file instead of a ‘config line’ in /etc/inittab.

Which is itself willful fear-mongering by just having passing familiarity with The Bible and simultaneously claiming it as their defining identity.

The Mark of the Beast is specifically a thing on the forehead or hand. It’s not numbers on a can of beans. And that’s before you get into everything about old numerology and contemporary societies that Revelation was probably talking about.

And the second beast required all people small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their forehead, so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark - the name of the beast or the number of its name.

Somehow I doubt requiring a MAGA hat for purchase would get the same level of push back for example.

I spent a ton of time on LotR II and it’s expansion. I distinctly remember finding the box for 3 a few years later and just being confused that they didn’t seem to know what was good about their game.

Had a complicated time trying to get 2 running a few years ago, I think I ended up setting up a Win95 VM specifically for it. But now it looks like they’re just on GoG and Steam. Might have to grab it there.

I find it so incredibly frustrating that we’ve gotten to the point where the “marketing guys” are not only in charge, but are believed without question, that what they say is true until proven otherwise.

“AI” becoming the colloquial term for LLMs and them being treated as a flawed intelligence instead of interesting generative constructs is purely in service of people selling them as such. And it’s maddening. Because they’re worthless for that purpose.
