Right, like the guy with the negatronic brain isn’t going to be evil. Come on!
It could just be a difference of the liquor, or color balance in the photo, but I think that first picture might be an Old Fashioned rather than just bourbon. It has that sort of reddish-purple tinge to it that you get from angostura bitters.
There’s a running gag in archaeology that variations on “ritual purposes” actually means “I have no idea what this was for”.
That said, there has historically been a connection between certain divination practices and games of chance, so this could easily be both.
Shit in, shit out. That’s AI.
“On two occasions I have been asked, – “Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?” … I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.”

Well, it is where everybody gets off…
As Norwegian race driver Petter Solberg once said, “it’s not the fart that kills you, it’s the smell”.
“Smell”, of course, being Norwegian for crash.
Depends on the distro. Some have a configuration setting to allow unfree software or not, others have separate repos.
What’s even going on in #19? I see lemon wedges, what looks like okra, maybe, and then…raw ground beef? Surely that can’t be right.
A similar argument is what finally caused the value of the vi family of editors to click in my brain:
They are designed to be fully functional over even the shittiest possible* remote connection. You can’t always count on ctrl, alt, or even the arrow keys being transmitted in a way that is understood by the remote machine.
*Well, I guess the worst possible terminal would be something like an actual teletype, and in that case you’d probably want to fall back to ed or its descendants. To save paper, if nothing else.
The guy from the Dan Brown movie was a ninja turtle?!
