They never were.

People repeating them on the internet used to do it ironically. But conspiracies always were actual belief systems and have always brought groups of people together to reinforce each other idiocies.

I’ve never seen an economist argue is favor of non-safety related building codes. Ever.

But then those miles in the GP would be nautical. So 4 1/2.

In the 80s. If you look at what your examples have in common, you’ll notice you’ve heard it in the 80s.

Too bad 80s nostalgia is all the hype nowadays, but at least this seems to be passing in other subcultures. I really hope it passes in software development too.

Oh, man. Can you tell what the second step is? I’d really like to learn that.

Well, they have a choice of pandering to this one large customer for whom they’ll always be the untrusted underdog, or pandering for the larger, more diverse market.

They never managed to become profitable as the untrusted underdog, so the option of keeping doing the same was obvious, I guess.

To what precision are they going to measure it?

Lol! Be like GitLab instead:

1 - Be the underdog with good reputation in a market completely monopolized;

2 - Have the incumbent self-destruct by vibecoding its product and pushing AI above every other feature to its customers;

3 - Loudly announce that you are leaving your past good behavior behind, and that you are betting everything on vibecoding and pushing AI to your customers!

Is your nozzle becoming full of molten filament on its outside while the printer is heating up?

Movie studios go out of their way to amplify a few outspoken racists when people start trying to criticize movies on reasonable grounds. That’s why when all you can hear about a movie is that it’s “woke shit”, it’s because there’s nothing good about it.

Modern CPUs can manage what interrupts them. Almost nothing actually does.

Computers have a CPU just to get in the way of things interrupting the main CPU.

It’s a HELLO II keyboard. Probably the next model after the original one.

Yes, but some times the popping is just the food unfreezing. If the food is not burning and staying cold at the same time, then do nothing.

Cron is absolutely lawful, not neutral. If there’s any deamon that defines lawfulness it’s sendmail, but after it, it’s cron.

They very clearly had a counter-attack plan. And expected Naboo to attack any time soon.

They consider that “Yankee” means somebody that eats pie for breakfast. What is a completely different thing.

Oh, for sure. For example, those centipede things are cool as hell!

That fact is not fun, go watch episode 4 and forget this one… (Unless you decide to watch everything, then you can remember it.)

The thing you quote is a completely different situation than what the press is pushing around.

WTF! The guy that finishes everybody with no problems is on the wrong and the one that is pushing AI into everybody is right? What kind of conclusion is that?
