  1. Well that was an entertaining episode. Malice v Valkyrie made me feel embarrassed for Battlebots and that was before the judges scored the fight.
  2. You get used to it after a while.
  3. The Senate Amendment would open up Immamac to liability for shit posted on surly. Every forum that has members paying a nominal fee or running ads on the site will face the same liability. That's going to chill a lot of speech.
  4. They both have the aim to chill or censor internet speech. The Florida bill seems more Draconian and stupidly focused on political speech directed at a very narrow audience. The Senate bill would actually be more damaging to free speech across the board.
  5. Somewhere, Bill Gates is smiling while he thinks his janky dance has finally been put to rest.
  6. Love and Monsters It's made for a young audience (teens and pre-teens). Has some heart and humor. Decent special effects. It's not a story that is going to offer much to adults but its fine to watch as a family with kids.

  9. The display URL for my links in the previous posts are correct. Surly did some voodoo magic fucking up the link targets when I edited the post above with all the quote blocks.

  17. Do or do not, there is no try? Best wishes Wulaw.
  18. Have whisky dick? Better get a condom.
  19. Yes another case (not SCOTUS) on the topic: https://ij.org/press-release/gloucester-parent-threatened-with-legal-action-for-recording-interaction-with-school-officials-appeals-case-ij-submits-brief/

  23. Gruff doesn't appear to have the stuff. Malice v Valkyrie - don't really care Madcatter should romp Ribbot v Jackpot could be a fun match. Ribbot has disappointed so far this tourney, but I know they can do better. Jackpot is a decent bot. Skorpios v Sawblaze should be a fun match. Similar bots. Ripperoni should have fun with Hijinx End Game v. Hypershock should be fun. I expect neither bot will get stuck in the floor with forks. Should be some weapon on weapon hits. Several good matchups (on paper anyway) tonight.
