  1. What if frogs had wings so their ass didn't scrape the ground when they hop? It blew up BECAUSE they are both executives and public figures at a pre-IPO company. It isn't hard to validate that they aren't married to eachother, considering they're both on their public "about us" page lol The internet is going nuts because this is FAFO. Degenerates love seeing some good FAFO play out
  2. More people died in this single flood in one night than died in Hurricane Harvey over a week of continuous flooding in the area in Houston you're ID'ing. I don't think the stakes or the risk is as directly comparable as you are asserting here.
  3. Because Zeus thinks that everyone is as base and transactional as he and trump are. He can't imagine a world where someone would have incriminating evidence and NOT break all the rules and norms to release it
  4. Sounds like sirens would have saved some lives and given them a few critical minutes of warning to get uphill
  5. https://www.newsweek.com/trump-birthday-letter-jeffrey-epstein-wall-street-journal-2100495 Some of the details are pretty wild:
  6. Performative victimhood has been their thing for a couple decades now
  7. The fired SDNY prosecutor who prosecuted Maxwell and Epstein released some sobering words: "Instead of fear, let this moment fuel the fire that already burns at the heart of this place. A fire of righteous indignation at abuses of power."
  8. approximately one bombing run on Iranian nuclear facilities, and then the conversation moved right along
  9. https://apnews.com/article/camp-mystic-floods-state-inspection-ef17d51dc7868fa9cc5c3076c31ed98a (published July 8th) HUNT, Texas (AP) — Texas inspectors signed off on Camp Mystic’s emergency planning just two days before catastrophic flooding killed more than two dozen people at the all-girls Christian summer camp, most of them children. The Department of State Health Services released records Tuesday showing the camp complied with a host of state regulations regarding “procedures to be implemented in case of a disaster.” Among them: instructing campers what to do if they need to evacuate and assigning specific duties to each staff member and counselor.
  10. The "media" writ large just got done paying off several specious SLAPP cases from trump, I don't think they're looking to cash in those goodwill chits just quite yet.
  11. Hits keep coming for intel... https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/cpus/firefox-dev-says-intel-raptor-lake-crashes-are-increasing-with-rising-temperatures-in-record-european-heat-wave-mozilla-staffs-tracking-overwhelmed-by-intel-crash-reports-team-disables-the-function “If you have an Intel Raptor Lake system and you’re in the northern hemisphere, chances are that your machine is crashing more often because of the summer heat,” says Svelto. “I know because I can literally see which EU countries have been affected by heat waves by looking at the locales of Firefox crash reports coming from Raptor Lake systems.” The engineer even added that it has gotten so bad that the team disabled the bot, which filed these crash reports automatically, especially since these events almost exclusively happened to Intel Raptor Lake PCs — specifically, the Intel Core i7-14700K model. The instability issue exploded around the second and third quarters of last year, and it took several months for the company to find its root cause. Since this was a physical degradation problem, no amount of patches can reverse the instability — Intel’s microcode updates only mitigated it and prevent the conditions that triggered the instability from occurring. Just last month, Intel released microcode update 0x12F to address the Vmin shift that’s happening to Raptor Lake CPUs that have been running for several days in a row. However, Svelto says that this version also caused the bugs to “come back in full force”.
  12. Yes, it's easy to argue that inflation has been defeated since January 20, 2025 if you ignore all the reality surrounding your claim. Prices are going up, and tariffs are driving that. https://www.reuters.com/business/us-inflation-expected-rise-june-with-tariff-driven-price-hikes-2025-07-15/ (apologies for using this rag of a publication, next to no factual reporting from them unfortuantely) Further, you didn't bring any data or anything aside from your assertion, so I'm not sure how you'd like me to respond aside from going "ahyup okeydoke". Most tariff regimes take months to show impact, we're only just now seeing the first wave of price pass-throughs. But yes, of course. Anyone who disagrees is mentally ill. Such incredible community building that's not toxic, wow.
  13. No, I'm saying that the stock market is decoupled from reality, so arguing that the "economy is fine because stonks go up" is not really a thorough analysis. Oh, so prices aren't significantly higher than they were five years ago? I must have missed that the house I bought this year was literally half the price in 2019. Or that my same $150 grocery cart is now $250. I'm sure all the attacks on farm workers and invasions of build crews will definitely help with bringing those prices down too.
  14. Related to the protests, abbot has signed into law new speech restrictions on campus between 10P and 8A. So much for campus free speech, huh? https://www.insidehighered.com/news/students/free-speech/2025/06/23/texas-passes-bill-limiting-expressive-activity-campus What starts here changes the world.
  15. Yes, waiter? I'll have what he's having. I too would like to live in the alternative reality you're describing lol
  16. The state of Texas said it was good enough, for starters.
  17. Honestly, that would have probably saved lives. Campers waking up in neck deep water is too late. Waking up to ankle deep means they can probably scramble to higher ground. That was a difference of about 5 minutes in this specific case with the cabins near the headwaters. Sirens would have saved lives. I don't know why this is such an offensive concept to you.
  18. Is the CR post in the room with you right now? Man it must be tough
  19. Lol did you use chatGPT to write this response? The long hyphen gives it away, or at least it's become a characteristic linguistic tick of the chatGPT application And you didn't link the blog so idk what it said, but all the hyperscalers offer bot protection WAF rulesets that aggregate threat intelligence from their platform in the same way that is gestured at in the ad. What is an "AI crawler"? If it's a non-human agent programmatically calling a website, that's just a bot in WAF rule parlance
  20. That's pretty basic table stakes for any WAF worth a damn, tbh
  21. Raydog is 10000000% on the list
  22. no no let him cook - last time one of them did that it ended up with babayaga posting links to neonazis as his source
  23. Immamac and Blacklab as WWE refs is a pretty hilarious mental image, not gonna lie
  24. Man you @Hate to see our nations capacity to predict/forecast devastating storms and hurricanes get completely ruined for no fucking good reason.
  25. My favorite one of these comparisons is that a 90's era Furby holds more computational power than the Apollo guidance computers that landed man on the moon. Heck, the phone in my hands right now is significantly more powerful than the laptop I got my degree with
