Here is James Bond. James Bond claims to be a remarkably skilled globetrotting super spy. James bond is wearing scuba gear with a giant plastic seagull on top of his head during an infiltration mission.

James Bond is not a reliable autobiographer.

Wearing a plastic seagull on your head increases your stealth stat by 50 points when paired with scuba gear.

I only recently went back and started actually watching james bond things on Netflix.

He does shit like this all the time, I can't stop laughing. Nobody told me the old james bond stuff was funnier than austin powers.

Reminder that in Moonraker, a pigeon did a double-take as Bond rode by in a hover-gondola
Roger Moore era Bond was the most absurd

Time to bring out the trash pump.  Got probably 3" of rain last night, and the yard has turned into a pond again.

EDIT: I need to re-think my pump setup. Taking 2 hours to prime the thing is annoying.  Probably need to trade in my gas-powered pump for a submersible electric one... I'll take lower flow rate for ease of use any day.

Hey google, how likely do you think that adress that exists since the naughties is to be owned by a minor given kids usually learn to read and write at 6? They ask for a foto of your ID and people give it to them, WHAT THE FUCK PEOPLE.


The correct procedure in this case is to have an AI churn out hundreds of assets flips containing colored imagery and nursery rhymes (check out finger songs) except the lyrics are all the acceptable synonyms for naughty words and the imagery contains peaches and oranges and stuff that look like genitals but gradually zoom out.

Build a sufficient screw pump stack to store water in a giant cistern.  Release water on unsuspecting jehovas witness missionaries.

Getting spam text from emails with no phone number. Apple hasn't figured out that customers might want a way to block all such texts, or doesn't care.

[Frumple]

Think it's more that they care more about whatever money they're getting from the spammer, from what I recall of folks trying to figure that mess out. Apple's well aware most of its customers want nothing to do with that crap, they just have different priorities.

Which is why one should step into a walled garden never.

Book publishers worldwide are forced to stop publishing new books, and stop reprinting existing books.

Why?

Lack of paper. The new order-at-home society has caused a worldwide paper shortage because of all the cardboard boxes needed for delivery.

[dragdeler]

I am not surprised with all the cardboard I see being thrown away in the span of 2-3h hours. People need to get a grip how can a 10k town have a 3m high heap of cardbox to throw away twice a day.

[Frumple]

Do you have a source on that one, mart?

Search found all of one article in a dutch news thing and that was it, and, like. You're talking about something that involves my job and our vendors have said exactly squat about paper shortages being the cause of delays or cancellations -- plague related stuff causing hiccups at other parts of the chain (transportation, direct manufacture, etc.), but not paper shortages -- and I haven't noticed anything unusual in terms of reprints being unavailable or somethin'.

[martinuzz]

If that was a Volkskrant article, that's where I got it from.

Reading it again, I am not sure if it is a global problem, or a more local problem.
Probably global though, or at least semi-global for those countries where the delivery society has skyrocketed.
One of the underlying issues is lack of wood to make white paper.
We don't have a wood industry locally, so that must be global.
