I guess this crowd has been on its “move fast, break things” bullshit for a while then

My layperson’s understanding is that they’re doing an extremely sparse matrix of bits, but at an absurd rate.

This was clear from the jump, but the Venezuela invasion going as smoothly as it did, from a pure operational perspective, is going to prove catastrophic in the long run.

Ii’m thoo thoorryy

this meme format will never get old

I mean are they going to skip the middleman and just hire furries directly? Because that might save a lot of time on multiple levels.

Nature Report, Killed by Trump, Is Released Independently

"Freshwater ecosystems across the country are in crisis, “overdrawn, polluted, fragmented and invaded.” Marine and terrestrial ecosystems are degraded, with reduced biodiversity. An estimated 34 percent of plant species and 40 percent of animal species are at risk of extinction."

Iran's got $500 drone that does nothing but deliver birthday cakes to the $5000 drones.

there's no alt text here which is unfortunate because we have located the most y2k a car has ever been and everyone needs to know about it.

the entire body is clear. i mean you can see the guts just like a gameboy but with better clarity oh my god it's wonderful

Sounds like it

Seems like a similar result might be possible using a tangzhong / water roux to modify some of the starch in whole wheat bread flour (the article you linked suggests atta also has fairly high gluten content)

Point/Counterpoint This War Will Shut Off 20% of the Global Petroleum Supply for A Month and Send the Economy into a Stagflationary Tailspin vs. No It Won’t Published: March 26, 2003

The thermal mass of some extra water will be an insurance policy vs. warping the tray, and the towels can reduce the consequences of any spill via absorption and dilution

Should be fine imho

Ok so the ester bonds that hold the polymer together can be attacked by strong chemicals, but not that chemical

If it’s vacuum formed, hot water can cause the plastic to anneal and shrink/flatten, not melt per se but a bad outcome

How exothermic is this reaction? Can you put wet towels under it?

As much as I enjoyed Marty Supreme, it does bother me that there is little to know Oscar talk about Ethan Hawke, who really got the contradictory essence of Lorenz Hart just perfectly in this.

It's funny, growing up the Miami Herald was famous for Monkey Business Gary Hart and now they're famous for uncovering a global pedophile ring that included two Presidents and Bill Fucking Gates. I'd say that's an insane CV from a small but mighty paper

Bar graph showing responses to question "Would you support or oppose abolishing ICE?" from The Economist/You Gov from June 2025 and late Feb-early March 2026. Total support for abolishing rose 23 points, among Dems 30 points, among independents 23 points, among Republicans 14 points.

Public opinion is not fixed.

And it's the job of a campaign to move people.

Not much cobalt, but some battery recipes substitute nickel, which Canada does have

Voir dire has a numbers limit: you don’t have to be convincing, just more convincing than the n in the pool that the prosecutor can remove without cause

I was going to ask whether you meant a sleeping bag made of molybdenum or one made of MDMA, but Newsom’s political instincts make a similar amount of sense to either of those, so I guess it doesn’t matter

I miss Oakland sorely but remain mildly horrified by the traffic innovations

Sectarian fractures surfacing just as a totalitarian theocracy begins to consolidate power?

Who could have imagined

A real critique is not a pass/fail gate. It structures the conversation to answer questions about the artifact that the designer has. Is it fit for purpose? What is working about it? What isn't?

Scaffolding the conversation to lead towards those answers are the purpose of the artifact.

The mistake is confusing detail vs fidelity. Vibe prototypes let you add a lot of detail quickly, just like how component libraries do.

But all of that detail is essentially distraction and waste. Showing off your tasteful drop shadow on the card view is not stress-testing the merit of the solution

Costco repoing Noem’s flying fuck palace and garnishing Mullin’s salary

trolley problem diagram, with Sisyhpus pushing his boulder as the trolley car, and text that reads: Sisyphus is rolling a boluder towards the Grand Hilbert Hotel. The hotel has an infinite number of rooms, but they are all full, so they may not be able to accomodate him or his boulder. If you choose to divert him, his boulder will destroy the Ship of Theseus. But the ship has had all of its constituent parts replaced, so it may not actually be the same ship. Is Sisyphus happy?

a question for the ages, really.

I mean, it’s one gallon of gas, Dana. What could it cost, ten dollars?

Purely coincidentally, many US drillers have been sitting idle while prices have been low, but these prices would be enough to put them back online.

Probably purely a coincidence.

“They were just following orders”

Yeah, whatever, they were violating the law and everyone knew it
