  1. Who's "they" in this sentence?
  2. Weirdly I saw an apparently dead bird just lying on the ground walking my dog this morning. Thankfully he wasn't interested in sniffing it, but I haven't seen that before. Kinda spooky
  3. FWIW you should consider ripping that media to a hard drive. Disc rot is real, and a minor manufacturing defect can lead unreadable media after a decade or two
  4. Yeah this is actually a nothingburger IMO - the trump children lost their SS in 2022 or so. So yeah, maybe a little early for Hunter but it seems like "adult" children usually don't get protection
  5. They probably shouldn't name it "autopilot" then, just like they shouldn't name it "full self drive"

    3D Printing

    Aw man I was hoping to see an ARM core for prusaslicer - that would be a game changer and I would think the computational architecture is nicely aligned. Nice bit of functionality if you've got your prusaprinter on the network though Print-wise I just finished a 4 plate 800g ship for my D&D group! I found the model on thingiverse but the project was abandoned and the .obj's were corrupted and wouldn't load into my slicer (neither bambu, cura, nor orcaslicer!). Fortunately I was able to load it in a model viewer and re-export it as an STL that would load, even with a couple thousand non manifold edge errors that it resolved in a minute or two. This is the "medium" boat and I also have repaired the "small" boat model and gotten it to completely fit on 2 plates! Anywho, really looking forward to unveiling it next session! Its in-game scaled to be 90ft by 20ft on the main deck
  7. It's weird, some boomer family friends cracked a Hunter Biden joke over the weekend. Who the fuck cares about that coke head with a big dick?? Holy shit it's wild what people will get decoyed with
  8. Those fabs are gonna lose a ton of the reasons that brought them to America if/when the CHIPS act is killed by Herr Trump
  9. Lmfao what are you talking about? Ian Miles Cheong is a preferred news source in the Daily Texan
  10. Pretty good bit of real world proof on LIDAR vs cameras from YouTuber Mark Rober
  11. Some good time lining of how the Administration actively worked to defy the courts
  12. The executive is now fully ignoring the judicial branch, and it's orders. BBC: US deports hundreds of Venezuelans despite court order Planes carrying more than 200 Venezuelans deported by the US have landed in El Salvador, hours after a US judge ordered the Trump administration not to do so. El Salvador's president, Nayib Bukele, wrote on social media that 238 members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua had arrived, along with 23 members of the international MS-13 gang, on Sunday morning. Their arrival in the central American nation came after a federal judge blocked US President Donald Trump from invoking a centuries-old wartime law to justify the deportations - something Bukele made fun of in a later post. "Oopsie... Too late," he said. The move by the US to send alleged criminals from other countries to El Salvador was an arrangement US Secretary of State Marco Rubio previously called "the most unprecedented and extraordinary migratory agreement anywhere in the world". Bukele wrote that the detainees were immediately transferred to El Salvador's Terrorism Confinement Center (Cecot) "for a period of one year", something that was "renewable" - suggesting they could be held there for longer. "The United States will pay a very low fee for them, but a high one for us," he added. Rubio confirmed the alleged gang members arrival in El Salvador and thanked Bukele, calling him "the strongest security leader in our region". Hours before, on Saturday evening, US District Judge James Boasberg ordered a halt to deportations covered by Trump's proclamation, which invoked the Alien Enemies Act of 1798. The law allows the government to detain and deport people threatening the country's safety without due process.
  13. It's terribly frustrating how the most cancerous world leaders always manage to cling to life and power. It takes social chemotherapy to get over a bad run with one Yep. We're in line next for our turn
  14. Drawing a bullseye after throwing the dart is not "long term planning" lol. Further, forcing regressive consumption taxes like tarrifs and sales tax (to replace income taxes) is going to reduce consumer spending. Tovarich, this IS trickle down economics at work.
  15. Rather in line with what was said above... The ongoing tax cuts for the ultra wealthy holding all the money have induced the extreme levels of debt. If the markets have to take a beating and harm all the people who have been getting their taxes cut (as well as everyone else along for the ride) just so things get back into equilibrium. And it also remains to be seen what happens with the Party favored businesses and if they get bailed out as the power of the purse is consolidated into the executive
  16. Exactly - the human was at fault, not the perfect FSD. /guadaloopy
  17. It's more just the shibboleth that they can use to test for cultural purity and alignment. If you don't like the 10 commandments, then you're an outsider
  18. An electrical substation exploded https://www.lubbockonline.com/story/news/2025/03/12/texas-tech-shares-alerts-on-engineering-key-evacuations-eoc-activation/82344359007/ It was some serious shit - manhole covers were blown off and dancing on the fire plume. That's some serious pressure and flow to lift a manhole cover
  19. jeeze that fuckin sucks - she really made a choice to buy one of those things though lol
  20. FWIW those "3rd party drivers" are basically AMZN employees. Dispatch Service Partners are a bespoke busines that exist exclusively to service AMZN deliveries and avoid paying benefits out to workers. Jesus and that section of 35 has been a chute for years now. Nowhere for the stopped traffic to go to avoid the 18-wheeler. What a nightmare.
  21. It's literally his career to play dumb except for when he can cynically find a technical reason to disagree and deny. He's not better than this. It's all that he can muster.
  22. New book about zuck is unsurprising and is mostly stuff we already knew, but a few new anecdotes https://www.sfgate.com/tech/article/ex-facebook-director-book-brutal-image-zuckerberg-20220239.php Lol he even gets butthurt when he loses at Catan or Ticket to Ride. What a bitch ass
