  • My college buddy was adopted at the age of 1 from India into a rich white american family. After high school he joined the marines without issue. A bit later, after college, around 2010, he gets picked up for a simple drug possession charge. Booking sent his finger prints to ICE/DHS who decided something was wrong with his adoption papers and he needs to go back to India. They took him from the local jail and stuffed him in a federal black hole for 6 months. His family took the federal government to court and won. He got out and was awarded something like 6 figures every year for a long ass time.

    He still left the country when he got out anyway. I don’t blame him.


  • I used to have a cat I could let out on the back patio with me, and she would stay on whatever concrete pad we had out there. I moved a few times, and each time we would do this routine when we went outside the first time where she would put one paw like this and look at me and wait. Without much change in my tone I could just say ‘yea’ or ‘nope’ and she’d learn where she’s allowed to go. It was always pretty obvious, just a concrete pad, but shed test the boundaries anyway. There was never any friction, shed just accept it and test the next spot. But one time I tried seeing how specific she would go, and I said ‘yea’ to some railroad ties lining a flower bed on one side of the patio. For the rest of my lease, she would not step foot in the flower bed but would do a loop on the railroad ties and come back to the concrete. I’m not sure where I’m going with this, maybe your desk needs railroad ties



  • Just in case anyone is interested in a nice, normal movie, there’s this real neat korean anime named Aachi and Ssipak

    Somewhere in the future, mankind has depleted all energy and fuel sources, however they have somehow engineered a way to use human excrement as fuel. People started to build the new city by making new energy with their excrement. Soon after, the city’s leaders announced two legislations to generate and control the new energy; including installing ID chips in each citizens’ anus to monitor the defecation level; providing an addictive juicybar to citizens in return. Soon enough, defecation amounts have skyrocketed and the city becomes full of addicts, due to juicybar’s strong addictive qualities. An illegal juicybar trade becomes prevalent and its side effects has created dumb pint-sized mutants. The mutants later organize a gang, plundering juicybars, later becoming known as the Diaper Gang.

    BOOK SPOILERS

    The entire story is different. For starters there’s no t-rex loose in LA or whatever. Hammond is dead in the book (he gets eaten by compys at the end of the first book). There’s a few details that are the same, like the fancy research lab on wheels, but in the movie the child that stows away on it is Malcolm’s daughter. She’s not in the book. Instead in the book two research assistants to another character are the stowaways. Small things, lots of them.

    The trex getting loose is probably adapted from the first chapter in the book that predicates the entire adventure - there are reports of raptors on the mainland snatching babies out of open windows at night. I can see why Hollywood might have left that part out







  • To be fair there’s no article, just a video of a guy off camera talking about his Xbox, not exactly engaging.

    I dug through the start of some guide on github, and nothing jumped out at me that the stuff remains configured. Maybe there are pieces stored on the jump drive afterward, but if it does they aren’t saying it very loudly. That’d definitely help convince me to try it.

    Who am I kidding, I’m trying it the first time I come across a 360. I just don’t see myself using it regularly


  • I’ve seen estimates between 30-70% failure rate for the race condition, even on this updated 1.2 version.

    And then ok, the exploit is successful. Now you have to install the custom launcher. Hope you like the default theme otherwise you’re now configuring that each and every time too. I didn’t get this far in the guide but now I imagine you also need to install the ISO manager that launches the games. Whoops, there’s always some weird collection of dependencies that you’ll probably have to tweak. Remember wii ios’s? God, what the heck was that. Then you lose power and have to do all of this over again?

    Have you ever modded a console? The exploit is only step one.
