Dev: “Boss, we need additional storage on the database cluster to handle the latest clients we signed up.”

Boss: “First see if AI can do it.”

Storm Thurman? Zero likes on his TikTok. That’s the real stat.

Grok has said disparaging things about Elon Musk so I’m assuming it’s going to be disappeared to El Salvador soon.

GitHub Copilot about to be clocking some overtime on COBOL conversions.

I know of someone we can send out to offer a Handshake.

Michael Dukakis is their ace in the hole.

Played it again for like the 10th time on like the 5th system I have it on it and it absolutely holds up. This time around it was the OG SNES on a Steam Deck. The original cartridge, box, instructions and everything are in a box in the basement, but that cartridge has been across the country and back with me every since I bought it through a mail order company that had its ads in EGM.

Chrono Trigger is damn near perfect. The closest I’ve gotten to reliving that game in my adult life is Sea of Stars, which I also highly recommend as it is very clearly inspired by CT.

Buddy’s probably running code he got from GitHub Copilot that is used to do a visualization of a bubble sort for learning purposes.

What is this, a table for ants? Because that’s the average number of ants in an ant colony and it’s nowhere near an impressive amount of rows to be doing any sort of processing on. It wouldn’t be an impressive amount of rows if your rig was an i386DX-33 running off a 5” floppy.

That’s her alt, still 6

Modern surveillance state.

Back in the 90s we had a convenience store down the street that had a multi-game arcade machine with four games in it, and they’d swap out the games periodically for other games and whatnot. Klax was in there for quite a while so I have some fond memories of that game. “KLAX WAVE” is burned into my brain forever.

They should put like a blue glowing outline on the puck to make it easier the follow. And, like, make it streak red when someone does a slapped shot to make it more exciting! Subscribe to my channel for more groundbreaking hockey ideas.

Supply side Jesus, presumably.

They don’t even need that anymore either, ‘cause they can just use the chips and magnetofluids they’ve injected into everyone via vaccines. So outdated.

DS9 was probably the most interesting of the shows of that time though. It broke several of Roddenberry’s rules:

• plenty of characters had long-running interpersonal gripes and grievances. In TNG everything was returned to status quo after any given episode or two parter. No one really argued with each other, everyone just learned a life lesson and everything was back to normal the next episode. Voyager started with some tension on the ship between the Maquis and the federation crew but that basically stopped after like 5 episodes and it was back to TNG camaraderie.
• it wasn’t on a ship that went travelled about.
• it had long running storylines that lasted several seasons. TNG had a few two parters and that season 1 conspiracy thread with the creepy crawlies taking over the federation but not much beyond that. Voyager had Species 8472 and the Borg and Kazon and whatnot but it was pretty straight adventure of the week stuff most of the time.
• it showed the federation being less than perfect. The federation of DS9 was flawed and made poor decisions at times. Sisko did something so bad once that they dedicated a whole episode to a log entry where he convinces himself he can live with the amoral decision he made to protect the federation, and Section 31 was a whole unit purpose made for dirty work.
• it had Garak. Dude would just straight up murder people, and he was one of the good guys.
• they played baseball. Not blurgball or space-baseball, just straight baseball. It was a shit show of a game, mind you, but they didn’t invent some futuristic sport just because they had to. They just did a baseball.

I think DS9 is the most interesting Trek series of them all.
