And the newsroom article accompany with the ad:
Citybus announced today that it has launched Hong Kong's first double-decker nuclear bus, which will provide 170,000 horsepower to the vehicle. The battery pack at the roof can store the excess electricity be generated and can provide power to the depot after returning.
Citybus pointed out that the manufacturer stated that the development of nuclear energy technologies have been quite mature. In the event of a vehicle collision, a protective barrier powered by the micro-reactor and batteries will be activated to absorb the collision force, so passengers will not feel much. Citybus also introduced the auto-drive capability, describing it as "finally on par with private cars."

@cheong the only part of the trick that they missed is that the device inside the bus should have been looking like this:
Of course, in this case it would have been powered by , not deuterium/tritium, but .

@PleegWat canonically this was attached to a flying DeLorean as a replacement for its original need for plutonium.

I can work well with others, or, I can pass a drug test.
Pick one.

Is that where you have to figure out what various substances are?

Oh lord. Me being curious and already on every watchlist I decided to test it, but I couldn't be arsed to type out the site/document part and just put "not for public release" into google.
And... Welp. Seems Amazon is just following the business standard operating procedure.

Oh please. It couldn't possibly be that bad. So I tried it and . . . .

The most interesting bit was how some confidential documents seem accessible to the google web crawler, but not to browsers.
Of course, UserAgent "hacking" could not possibly circumvent this!I must say that back in the nineties when I may, or may not, have been doing black hat things, getting access to systems was as easy as knowing an IP address and having telnet. I'd say we're swinging back to the easy days of being black hat again through sheer stupidity.

@topspin said in The Official Funny Stuff Thread™:
Then again, I'm almost certain that some administrations must tag everything as "not for public release" unless it was explicitly decided that it was for public release.
So that search must return so much crap that it's basically security by obscurity.
BEST PRACTISE!

I remember reading an article written maybe 20 years ago proposing the theory that Bond was a Time Lord, to the point of finding obscure lines in the films and the series that 'because the Doctor said it and so did Bond... this is proof that Bond is actually a Time Lord'

Some years back I decided that the real Sherlock Holmes must have been a telepathic alien, and that his supposed "deductive reasoning" was just an excuse to explain to Dr Watson how he could know things that no normal earth human could know.
Okay, so "Time Lord" also could explain those as well as "telepathic alien". The original theory also concluded that Lennon and McCartney were aliens as well, and was full of conspiracy-like stuff about whether Ringoo knew and just kept quiet about it.

That's as good an explanation of Yoko as any.

@da-Doctah given that the Doctor is an alien and has been shown to have some limited telepathic skills, you repeat yourself.

@topspin ME having to deal with the utter bullshit that is div-html:
I'm still firm on my unpopular opinion that this bullshit doesn't make any sense anymore. Html is presentation, JSON is data and the backend is the business core. CSS was sold as separating the presentation from the HTML, that in the 90s for a while sounded like it might make sense, but none today
-
@sockpuppet7 I'm oldschool. When trying to minimize the amount of code generating HTML (and not using a library for ) being able to offload formatting-only logic to CSS is quite handy.

If I had two children I would name them Morley and Leslie, so that I could make "More or Less" jokes.
-
@PleegWat Separation of concerns is good (@fbmac: HTML is markup, not presentation; it's in the goddamn name!). It's that CSS is goddamn convoluted, bloated and outright fucking retarded
It doesn't do well any of the things it should (formatting and layouts), and does things it shouldn't (behavior and content).
-
@Applied-Mediocrity they’re both stupid. It’s just that we now build applications on top of it instead of documents.

the literal translation of more less is a cromulent expression in pt-br

It doesn't do well any of the things it should (formatting and layouts), and does things it shouldn't (behavior and content).The problem is that often there is great overlap between what is truly structural (there must be an input for username, an input for password, labels for each input, and a button to submit) and what should be merely presentational (each input on its own line, with labels next to them but nicely aligned themselves, etc.).
IMO CSS has taken great leaps forward, with stuff like
display:flex
,display:grid
(namely withgrid-template
), andx::after { content: '...' }
. But the momentum of backwards compatibility is a bitch.Edit: sigh. I've just gone off-topic in Funny Stuff.

Press Win+Ctrl+Alt+Shift+A or Win+Ctrl+Alt+Shift+N to find out on an Office-installed Windows.
(Yes, those open what you think they open. W also opens Word, X opens Excel, oh, and L opens fucking LinkedIn. Yes, that’s genuinely a thing, a 5-key shortcut to open LinkedIn.)
-
@Arantor said in The Official Funny Stuff Thread™:

It's for keyboards with the "Office" key which sends Shift+Ctrl+Win+Alt. Whether an "Office" key or a shortcut for LinkedIn are needed at all is an exercise for the reader.

@loopback0 TIL about the Office key.
