It wasn’t me that said that, I just explained the saying.

So, tier lists.

There’s been something of a fad in the last few years of organizing things into tier lists. As far as I can tell it comes from the gaming community, ranking player characters or items or weapons or whatever. The tiers follow the letter grading scale I think most of the English speaking world will have some understanding of; A through F without E with F being a failing grade. Apparently because Japan, an S tier for Superior is added above A.

A fun implementation of this is TierZoo. One of those Youtubers who is also on Nebula, his whole gimmick is he does educational videos (and lifeforms in general) in a very video game discussion style. As if he’s a veteran player of an MMORPG called “Outside” in which every organism is a player character. If you want to get a good grip on the tier list phenomenon he provides many examples.

You shitpost, but Norm Abram describes his father using a circular saw like this as an improvised table saw.

I saw a short of the guy doing that, the AI voice started to respond and then it cut off and a human said “What can I get for you?”

Pretentious restaurant/10. They’re going to serve you bubbles or pour chocolate sauce on your hands or some dumb shit.

I still want Dirk Pitt’s house: A studio apartment above a large aircraft hangar.

Two door sports cars with back seats especially, the Camaro I was raised in had doors that must have been 5 feet long.

You are an unfit mother. Your children will be remanded into the custody of Carl’s Jr.

Carl’s Jr.: Fuck you, I’m eating!

Okay, so looking it up, it seems that the Beast was/is a prince, which in at least some traditions would mean his wife would be elevated to the rank of princess. I don’t know if that’s how it worked in the original French short story.

Jane: Disney yes, Princess no.

Anastasia: Disney no, Princess yes.

Who here forgot Disney even made Tarzan? ✋

Or Belle or Jane.

Funny thing is, their GPU division is making fine products especially in the bang-for-buck consumer category and their Wi-Fi modules are good. Weirdly enough, because driver and API support for the GTX-10 series cards is starting to age out, I’m considering putting an Intel GPU in a system with an AMD CPU for my HTPC.

The CPU side of the business is totally screwed though; they’ve been doomed since someone at AMD first said the word “Ryzen.”

American components, Russian components, ALL MADE IN TAIWAN!

Are you kidding? Microsoft has always been shit at math. According to Microsoft Excel, 2 + 2 = 12:04 AM Jan 1, 1900.

I’ve had a couple of Burger King’s ‘Impossible’ burgers. They’re not terrible. I’ve had actual beef burgers that were worse.

Fear of the Flipper Zero is fear of people having direct control of consumer grade radio hardware. “You can’t let people have universal TV remotes, what if they push the buttons?!”

I reckon it soon shall be, the way such things are trending.

The point you’re trying to make is, if I willingly carry around a battery powered security hole in my pocket all the time, why should I be concerned about another one installed in my vehicle?

Well, should I decide I wish to travel without being monitored, I can leave my phone behind and still travel rapidly.

My phone does not have access to my vehicle’s CAN bus; my phone cannot disable the vehicle from afar should it detect I performed my own repairs or that I am not christian or that my skin is browner than the dictator will tolerate or whatever else the police will decide to murder me for.

If the car has an RF transmitter of any kind installed, it is a HARD no.

Or Tesla.
