God, what did I start?

Ah, drivel then. That makes more sense, and is also sexist.

Lol, Martinuz the Americans were confused because "bollocks" is a very British phrase, basically never used in America, and you also put quotes around what was effectively a paraphrase which suggested you were citing the statement verbatim from the English press. Plus "bullock" is an entirely different word. it was very confusing.

BTW, One of the Google Deep Dream programmers is playing around with adversarial networks trained on human photos that attempts to make novel faces, it's some real pretty stuff:

Hmm. I want that so I can generate new faces for roleplaying characters.

I'd like to note that I'm not American and 'Bollocks' doesn't confuse me.
For simply no other reason than my pride.

Cellphone and internet outages reported in USA. Apparently a fiber line was cut by accident.

On the bright side, with internet outages you're 100% less hackable by Russian operatives now.

I remember when we'd lose parts of the internet (but none of the web, because the web hadn't even been discovered, yet..!) and we'd all talk 'knowledgeably' about the Fat Pipe across the Atlantic having gone down.  Unless it was a problem with JANET.

The biggest threat to transatlantic internet cables are.... whales. Apparently they really enjoy toying with wires at 4km depth on the sea bottom.

So if your internet fails you, just sue Greenpeace.

Clearly, in that case one needs to burn whale tallow candles in front of the Greenpeace headquarters in the Netherlands. Screw whales, I need my amazon.

inb4 a guy who lost his leg due to an internet blackout-related mishap goes on a mad quest to kill a whale.

[Starver]

Better off they don't. Too much of (the wrong kind of) the internet can physically damage a part of one's body.   Make's it go all moby. Nasty injury, that.

Tank meat inches closer to reality.

I heard on the internet once that artificial meat will be to animal husbandry what the tractor was to slavery.
Very interesting stuff.

Something that will become widespread after a great civil war destroy the latter?
