- NY is trying to shoot itself in the foot, no pun intended: boingboing.net/2026/02/05/n...
- Look, here's the thing: I can go to Home Depot right now and get myself anything I need to build a low-quality zip gun, and it's cheaper and requires less skill than 3D printing one. The 3D printed one can be marginally higher quality, but trust me, that's not the make or break.
- And, as the article points out, identifying what is and is not a gun part is not a task a machine can reliably do! It's not something a human can reliably do! The number of both false positives *and* false negatives makes the whole thing untenable.
- Is it reasonable to make it illegal to manufacture firearms without certain regulations? Sure, that's reasonable. Is it reasonable to make the tools which can be used to manufacture firearms enforce your laws? No, it is not. You can't tech your way around something that is not a tech problem.
- Mongolian metal band The Hu has an incredible song for this moment. Going hard as fuck m.youtube.com/watch?v=wQpG...
- Turning this into a #nowplaying thread. In other news, man, when it happens it's going to be great. www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDkh...
- deathblow1.bandcamp.com/track/accele... I wanna see who gets the Deathblow! #nowplaying
- The perfect mob movie is *The Friends of Eddie Coyle* and I will die on that hill. It’s dirty and greasy and everybody is dumb and backstabbing everyone else. Also, every movie is better with Robert Mitchum
- Oh yeah, that's cool, send your warnings to STDERR and your errors to STDOUT. No, I don't mind. //I ABSOLUTELY MIND
- Honestly, I'm usually the critical failure.
- The obviously correct answer is Master and Commander, but that’s unfair to all the other candidates. So I’m gonna throw out a dark horse choice.
- A movie that looks at Walter Matthau and says: “this dude absolutely fucks”
- Only now do I realize that Big Pete could plausibly have been Big Ed and Nadine's secret child.
- I just used the unit "kilomiles" because it was the clearest way to communicate my intent.
- Risky move for a church. Jesus only came back from the dead once.
- Chonker paisleys.
