The Boring Company's Not a Flamethrower is a joke compared to actual flamethrowers

Or a tank with a flame thrower.

While I’m able to distinguish between reality and fantasy as much as the next sane video gamer, I always thought the Grand Theft Auto rampages with the flamethrowers always somehow felt more wrong than mowing people down with other weapons or vehicles, like that was just a bridge too far even for the genre.

There are also lots of nuclear bomb victims as a result of using supreme cruelty to induce surrender.

I think the problem of using overwhelming force to solve conflicts is that it just moves your conflicts to a different theater that are sometimes no better.

It’s a great tactical move, but I’m not sure about strategic value.

If you wrap that in simple HTML, you can include blind people on the joke! Like so:

<img src=“webaddressofimage.gif” alt=“cardboard Box of SHAME”>

The text will be invisible to normal browsers, but rendered in text browsers and speech browsers used by people with vision processing issues. More info here. If you want the text to be available not only to blind people, but also the fully abled, you can add a title instead of alt text, like so.

<img src=“webaddressofimage.gif” title=“greasy cardboard Box of SHAME”>

Image titles show up as hovertext, visible when the mouse cursor is over the image, in normal GUI browsers.

You’re absolutely right. Apologies. Change now (belatedly) made.

I thought you’d have the technical chops for that! Thanks for being awesome.
