The Internet is so fucking weird sometimes. I had literally never heard of the 37% / Secretary Problem until this morning when someone else commented about it in a different thread. Then I immediately noticed it in this comic and saw your comment.
It’s like when you never notice a car until you buy one and then see that same car everywhere.
I’ve noticed that most people are barely computer literate and don’t understand when you try to explain the difference between something like a shortcut and computer virus.
I actually dodged a bullet like that myself once. I used SMTP to send an email with a spoofed “from” address and got accused of hacking into someone’s email account. I lucked out that I got to plead my case with someone who understood networking.
Yeah smoke bombs were the only thing I recall that wouldn’t land you in jail.
Lol that is the exact same thing that happened to him. He said he fucked up the temperature and ignited it.
Somehow, he DIDN’T get in a ton of shit for it. The teachers and fire department didn’t figure out it was an intentional smoke bomb. So they never questioned him about it. He dodged a bullet for sure! That was pre-9/11 and Columbine, so I’m sure kids in a similar situation today would be absolutely fucked.
My friends and I downloaded the Anarchists cookbook off of a BBS (we’re old as shit now) when we were kids. One of the things in there was how to make a smoke bomb, which sounded harmless enough but also contained chemical ingredients that we didn’t have access to.
Then one of my buddies moved away and at his new school, they had a chemistry lab. His dumbass got ahold of these chemicals and made the bomb in class - except he fucked up a step and it started smoking immediately.
It wasn’t just a little bit of smoke, it was a shit load. He said smoke started pouring out at a crazy rate. They ended up evacuating the school thinking the building had caught fire.
This is the dumbest meme I have ever made. My apologies.
The perfect accessory for when your whole family thinks you’re an asshole and you have no friends.
You tried your best, and that’s what’s important.
No you’re thinking of Captain Kirk. Charlie Kirk was an NFL quarterback for the Atlanta Falcons. He played college football for Michigan State and was drafted by the Washington Redskins in 2012.
Hell yeah!
Try not to eat any hamburgers on the way to the parking lot!
Shit that actually makes a lot of sense
Late stage enshitification.
Weird, I’m in Voyager on fast internet and it’s super pixelated for me. Going to the link looks great, but Voyager looks like it’s trying to load a thumbnail as a full size image.
This just made me realize that the first time I heard the term “furry” was from the network guy I used to work with 20 some years ago .
If we really want to reduce the amount suffering for both adults and, most importantly, children then we have to be able to start having actual conversations about this.
I appreciate that calling Trump a child rapist is also good for society.
I’m not even supposed to be here today!
Dammit. Now I’m gonna be noticing shit about Frequency Illusion for the next few weeks.
