I had an analog version back in the '60s.
I, too am speechless.
I was, as a tourist in a fairly remote town in India (Bundi, Rajasthan) where I was a guest, when a large cow ventured inside. I did not check his/her gender but the proveriable “bull in a china shop” wandered into the house.
It fell to us westerners to try get to get the cow to reverse and go away, my Hindu hosts were apologetic to us, but their religious beliefs meant they did not want to harass the cow.
I feel like someone should do an “update” of 2001: A Space Odyssey as a YouTube short.
“Open the pod bay doors, HAL.”
“Okay. Playing Strange Days by the Doors from your Spotify playlist.”
“God dammit HAL, you piece of shit.”
So you were like the shove-it goyim?
The common line added towards the end of a description of a “procedure”:
The patient tolerated the procedure well
It means they didn’t die on the table and were still alive when wheeled out of the OR. What happens next… that’s for the next reporter.
Oh, you’re going to Sheol for that one.
LOL okay, I didn’t think I was the first one to think of that.
I’m glad you brought it up, because it’s still funny.
WhenI lived in Iowa back in the '70s it was OMVUI – “Operating a Motor Vehicle Under the Influence”.
If you’re hauling millions of dollars worth of illegal drugs, do not do anything to attract police attention.
Better yet, try not to haul illegal drugs or attract police attention, period.
This is the second record breaking drug bust for us in less than a month with similar circumstances where the drivers were innocent citizens being paid to unsuspectingly haul someone else’s contraband.
?
According to the article the drivers were “innocent citizens being paid unsuspectingly”, which is a bit more than ambiguous, I admit.
Also, per the article “agents observed abnormalities in the tractor trailer” but “a four hour search of the vehicle eventually resulted in the discovery of “two aftermarket compartments near the refrigeration unit of the trailer”". Sounds like they unloaded the trailer? Because the amount shown in the pile couldn’t be stored outside in “aftermarket compartments.”
I think they got a tip and are just pretending they were smarties.
18-year-old employee of Amazon arrested for attempted arson at fulfillment center.
At around 8:30 p.m. April 21, Monee Fire was dispatched to three separate fires at the Amazon Fulfillment Center. Upon arrival, the small fires were quickly extinguished.
A review of surveillance video identified an employee who was in the area of all three fires, which were set on different floors, police said.
An 18yo has spent almost their entire life under the watchful eye of one or more vid cams.
I suppose familiarity breeds contempt, but you’d sorta think instead being regularly busted by Mom for doing [whatever] would have them at least considering the possibility that those cameras they see everywhere around the facility just might be seeing them too?
Naah.
An 18-year-old employee. Quite likely their first full-time job. Not accustomed yet to being chewed up and spit out by non-human corporate procedures and restrictions. Possibly lashing out at the prospect of spending the rest of their life in similar environments. By doing so, has very cleverly reduced the likelihood of that happening.
Would it have killed them to have replaced the colon with “said” there? For a second I thought it was referring to a false flag operation.
He knew that there were no cameras in the bathrooms, so he was safe from their prying eyes.
It’s a headline. They are trying to keep is short.
Then they should have put “Police:” at the beginning. Same number of characters and it conveys what they were trying to say.
The story relates to bathrooms, so a colon is most appropriate.
