I do not like that saddle.

Thanks, Biden!

Truly a superb photo, it jumped out at me even before I clicked through and read the description. Thanks!

Except she does stop, for 3.5 years at a time, only to crawl back out from under her rock to get some attention in her brief period of pseudo-relevance as a potential spoiler. Away with her.

I know that the state is trying to manufacture standing so it can bring the claim, but this is a deeply cynical and unethical argument that I would be embarrassed to make.

Cybercabs are two-seater vehicles

Just two seats why? Has this so-called genius ever taken a cab with friends ever?

Where’s your bike seat?

if Rosalyn engaged in his world

You mean like in Calvinball?

The Ros strips were always some of my favorite. You never stop identifying with Calvin, but you also kinda cheered for her, and when she won (like in Calvinball) you celebrated with her too.

My take on this story: dragging this reactor out of mothballs is expensive and risky, and operating at 50+ year old reactor is risky. The company that owns admits it isn’t even solvent enough to run it, much less ensure the risks of operating it. Microsoft and the 3 Mile Island owner are basically asking for a multi-billion-dollar taxpayer subsidy for an enterprise—so-called AI—that eliminates jobs and is used more for revenge porn and deepfakes than it is for any societal good. This is a bad deal.

So the community guidelines aren’t being enforced? I still think that’s a problem. The federated video sites I’ve used (mostly peertube instances, tbh) all have community guidelines, and if they didn’t enforce them, I wouldn’t use the sites.

I didn’t get a paywall, but sometimes the WaPo does, and if so, here’s a paywall-free link: https://archive.ph/f4tti

Aviation biofuel is mostly a distraction. Any serious effort to decarbonize the transportation industry would focus on a scalable system, presumably high-speed rail.

(And whoever is thinking about being a smartass, don’t you dare come at me with bullshit about trans-ocean flights, they obviously can’t be take by train, but biofuel is still utterly incapable of supplying even only ocean flights. It’s not ever going to be a viable product. We’d be better off trying to scale up carbon capture than try to use all our arable land to grow crops for fuel.)

For the record, while the Supreme Court justices have refused to hold themselves to the same standards as lower court judges, a U.S. District Court judge like Cannon is indeed bound by the Code of Conduct for United States Judges and the policies of the Judicial Conference, which do require disclosure of such gifts and trips.

Thanks for the rec! I also love that you presume that there will be a next time, cuz, uh, that’s accurate. These little boxes are powerhouses, I probably want one for a TV set-top box now that all the TV boxes (Roku, Amazon Fire, even Android TV and soon Apple TV) are riddled with ads.

Beelink and Minisforum are legit

I wish I knew a lot of this when I first started shopping for a mini PC. I ended up with a Beelink model that I’m quite happy with, but it seems almost luck that I didn’t pick another one, and I would have liked a “reputable brand” search function.

Aldi employees do a lot (stocking, cleaning, cashiering, etc.) but are paid relatively well and get solid hours. The stores I have visited seem to retain their workers for long periods, too.
