the original premise for the matrix was going to be that the machines kept humans around for their spare brainpower which was more efficient than silicon, which makes more sense but wasnt a cool a movie gimmick

what im saying is that im a little shocked we dont yet have a movie where people are trapped in a simulation as slaves to steal their brains' hashing power

maybe even the big reveal can be that people irl are sane and rational even in large groups and everyone in this world is such a god damned idiot because most of our brainpower is mining buttcoins

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

EVER SINCE IT learned about collateral damage, Azrael can’t help noticing its correlation with certain sounds. The sounds biothermals make, for example, following a strike.
The sounds are louder, for one thing, and less complex. Most biothermals – friendly Greens back in Heaven, unengaged Hostiles and Noncombatants throughout the AOR – produce a range of sounds with a mean frequency of 197Hz, full of pauses, clicks, and phonemes. Engaged biothermals – at least, those whose somatic movements suggest “mild-to-moderate incapacitation” according
to the Threat Assessment Table – emit simpler, more intense sounds: keening, high-frequency wails that peak near 3000 Hz. These sounds tend to occur during engagements with significant collateral damage and a diffuse distribution of targets. They occur especially frequently when the commit threshold has been severely violated, mainly during strikes compelled via override.

Broke: smart thermostats will help us reduce demand for peaker plants and power spikes, protecting the grid and saving you money and are good
Woke: smart thermostats will help corporations spy on your habits and are bad
Bespoke: smart thermostats will help one corporation spy on your habits, another corporation avoid modernizing its infrastructure, and a third corporation will pocket the savings and are :capitalism:

People who use Celsius have a pathological compuslion to round to the nearest five degrees.

Fahrenheit enjoyers are happy to tell you about how seventy‐two degrees is too warm and seventy is just right.

tbh that seems more compulsive to me

The noisy rear end sulfur polluting and inefficient diesel standby generators that all the rich people that own the trucks are going to buy kicking on in the evening so that they can safely set the thermostat to 60F during the rolling brownouts while the neighborhood fills with the sound of chugging engines and the stink of diesel fumes waft in for anyone downwind who didn't have the money and is forced to keep their windows open or cook to death, that's rolling coal
