For bonus points shoot it into deep space. Maybe some alien civilization will run into it trillions of years from now.

Hate to be a spoilsport, but that specific article does seem to be available from Nature without a paywall: https://www.nature.com/articles/356739a0.pdf

1 to Sauron, 3 to the elves, 7 to dwarves, 9 to humans.

3+7 = 9+1

Sauron shipped a himself and a bunch of humans with elves and dwarves.

I used to use one of these in the late 90s. I think it was called Filezilla (Downzilla? I forget; something zilla anyhow) or something, and it made dinosaur sounds when queuing up downloads.

It’s like how the S in IoT stands for “secure”.

I own an ID3 and it’s got the same capacitive bullshit steering wheel. So far I’ve only managed to accidentally fuck with the audio by brushing the right side of the wheel during a turn, but it’s really scary that those cruise control buttons are right there with the potential to be fucked with at random.

Luckily I’ve learned to be pretty well aware of the adaptive cruise control suddenly deciding there’s a different speed limit on the road than what’s actually there, so maybe I can manage to catch any accidental fuckings with the buttons too.

Sauron might have shown up at Morannon personally to faceroll everyone into oblivion before Gollum had time to fall into Mt. Doom, but he was too busy having second breakfast to attend.

A sports club I belong to and whose website I help maintain once had their site made through one of those back in yonder days. It was utter unmaintainable garbage, and had to be torn down and built back up from scratch using vanilla wordpress once we decided we wanted to change a few things with it.

Jfc, can’t we just nuke Russia instead? Would be more humane.

Followed by the VR hit: Portal: Companion Cube

I forget the exact wording, but the Ring essentially showed Sam visions of being some sort of a supreme gardener king. Sam dismissed that as fucking stupid, because he just wants a simple garden.

There was a piped link posted of this earlier, but it was unwatchable because their servers couldn’t handle the load

In some cases it might even be a case of “You actually passed the test, but we want you to pay us more to actually pass.”

disclaimer: I know nothing of Malaysia

This is what it looks like on my mobile browser. You seem to be posting from mastodon, which I guess doesn’t do lemmy images properly

I think your #screenshotsaturday thing is missing a screenshot.
