The folks at the top are getting VC money now for genetic research. The eventual goal is to sell the tech for parts. The “dire wolf” “de-extinction” is just their proof of concept that their genetic tech works.
The folks down at the operational level are either just doing a job or really think what they’re doing is cool (I mean, I would certainly think tinkering like that was a blast).
My detailed explanation at my old job is that the dev team was full of idiots who hardcoded ipv4 addresses into their fucking code. Seriously. When we migrated from data center to cloud they had to go patch everything. The CTO wouldn’t do shit about it and the director was just there riding things out until retirement.
I can tell you it’s been pretty great to me. A bit of hard work and a bit of luck and now I’m doing well. I’ve got a long term contract with one company and take short term stuff that looks interesting or pays for my vacations.
I had no idea what that was so I had to look. Unfortunately I’ve never been on the toy collectable train. I have a couple of those vinyl bobblehead things (their name escapes me) that were given to me and a couple of tabletop minis I painted but that’s the closest I ever came.
I hate how plausible this is.
I mean, how long did it take the cops to get there? Because .42 is crazy fucking high. It can absolutely kill you it’s so high. She would have had to have more than 10 drinks in an hour for that. That’s about two thirds of a fifth between the time it was called in and when the cops got there.
I’m not saying it’s not doable. I’m saying if she did that she was trying to die.
I once paid a bar tab with my guitar skills. Does that count?
I get it. I really do. And I hate it because I like cowboy hats. They’re comfy and offer nice sun protection. The smaller brimmed ones look pretty good with most of the things I wear. It’s just that 90% of the people wearing one are scumbags. Worse, the biggest scumbags that wear them always look fucking stupid in them because they have no idea how to shape them for their face.
It’s a good rule of thumb. They ruined my punisher T-shirts. They ruined my cowboy hats. They ruined Norse runes. Next they’ll ruin my rainbow bracelets.
I think the supreme court will release her. She’s asking them to toss the conviction based on the previous plea deal not long after meeting with a known “troubleshooter”.
Is that a thing now? I don’t keep up. I’m ready to cut it clean again. Not because of any coded thing, but because it’s hot as fuck. But I have to keep it a few more days, then I need to find the time to get it cut.
No, it was very serious. Big red flag. He should hit a lawyer, delete a gym, and social media up.
However it was calibrated before I can promise it’s even worse now. I’m a straight dude. I’m a dudely dude. I dress like an extra on My Name is Earl. Other than crocheting and sewing my hobbies are all very “guy” hobbies. I’m currently sporting the worst mullet you’ve ever seen (it was a bet, ok?).
However, I get told with alarming regularity “I thought you were gay”. I think it’s because I’m friendly without trying to get in anyone’s pants.
We’ve already had that
"Ah, but they choose to act on it! You see, my old preacher struggled with gay thoughts all the time because of Satan. He told us so nearly every Sunday. But did he act on them? No! He was straight, just as god intended.
So those people having gay thoughts are CHOOSING to be gay when they could pray and get a wife and have children like the lord said."

To be honest it’s just a guess. But that’s what happens to tech. They start up a company that never becomes profitable but take in VC cash, then sell off to a big guy and go on to do it again.
