But that isn't the criteria they're working with in any news report or court case, is it?

If I draw up some plans on a napkin with crayon, make my thing based on that, and "QC" says all the parts are to spec, and it fails and looks like shit in the process... I would say that is FAR more improvised than the guy making a pipe bomb out of hardware store supplies that's set off by a complex electronic custom timer/signal receiver.

I do get your point, I'm just being slightly ridiculous for humor's sake.

It's all entirely "did someone make this in a factory with government approval or not"

Y'know... In this hypothetical news story/court case...

I remember seeing so many comments awhile back about how there wasn't a chance in hell that EON would ever allow someone else to have creative control.

I want to know how much they're being paid for it, and how much the next highest offer has been, because it has to be a shitload of money.

I will happily shake hands with a pineapple-on-pizza-er, if it means we can make sure this evil never hurts anyone ever again.

I'll wash my hands afterward, but it's the gesture that counts, right?

(pls wash your hands anyway, sanitation rulez)

They had an app store?

I am aware of the massive setup costs, and exactly 0 of what you said invalidates anything I said.

This is something that's always boggles my mind as an American.

Why would any other country rely on us for military equipment instead of working on their own? Yeah it costs money to setup, but even in highschool I knew enough to know the US has, to put it lightly, done shady shit to its allies. Hell, it's own people.

Why would anyone trust that they'll always be an ally? Especially when Republicans are in charge and make international cooperation even more of a joke than usual.

I want the EU to be self sufficient not because I think they suck and should be paying out the ass, like the magats do, but because when the US government decides they don't want to play with the other kids anymore, they can't take the proverbial ball home with them.

I genuinely think the author just put those two together because they knew everyone was expecting Harr-mione to happen. Tried to subvert expectations.

don’t lick the platters

No joke, as a teenager I temporarily considered using one as a pizza cutter but ultimately decided to use a pair of scissors just because I didn't want the shiny platter to be greasy.

I really want a thin metal disc to spin now... Maybe see if I can get it to spin with my arduino...

Smort.

I would absolutely be consulting a lawyer before actually putting that out, just to, at the very least, have someone who's a little familiar with the situation beforehand. That way if I DO get arrested, I already know a lawyer who's looked into this and already had some things ready to go.

Yeah, I had been holding on to one last one after selling the rest (I made a whopping $13 yaaaaaaaaay)

Selling that shit the moment I can get to my laptop.

Oh man...

1: RIP to Trevor.

B, I remember every time this would make the rounds, so many people would get super pissed about it and go on huge multi-paragraph rants about how unfunny it was and that it should be deleted before the FBI arrests everyone who shares it.

The jokes write themselves.

That would be great, but unfortunately for me I have too many programs that depend on windows, don't have Linux options, and if I'm being honest with myself I really just don't want to learn an entirely new ecosystem. I will if forced, but the moment this laptop shits itself or they discontinue support for the OS, I'm getting a crash course.

I'd love to turn an old tablet or somethinf into a Linux device in the meantime so I can at least start something. Too bad my parent's old kindles won't work, there's enough of them laying around their house...
