  1. my go-to upset dog tummy meal is an instant pot with 2 or 3 cups of rice, carrot and green bean chunks, and a few frozen chicken breasts on a steamer rack up out of the liquid. By the time the rice is done cooking and you do a 10 minute natural pressure release the frozen chicken is past 165F and everything is good to go. Shred or chop the chicken and store in big ass tupperwares. That'll make two or three days of food that my dog would run through a wall for
  2. a "Pentagon official" per Reuters https://www.reuters.com/world/us/pentagon-deploy-700-marines-los-angeles-official-says-2025-06-09/ The official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said a battalion would be sent, but for now, the Insurrection Act is not expected to be invoked.
  3. RFK Jr is effectively disbanding the ACIP, which could result in recommendations for immunizations changing drastically. https://www.cnbc.com/2025/06/09/rfk-jr-cdc-panel-vaccines.html Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Monday said he is "retiring" all 17 members of a crucial government panel of vaccine advisors, a shocking step that could help to sow doubts about immunizations in the U.S. "A clean sweep is needed to re-establish public confidence in vaccine science," Kennedy said in an opinion piece in the Wall Street Journal on Monday. Kennedy is removing all members of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, or ACIP, which advises the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The group reviews vaccine data and makes recommendations that determine who is eligible for shots and whether insurers should cover them, among other efforts. ACIP members are independent medical and public experts who make recommendations based on rigorous scientific review and evidence. The CDC director has to sign off on those recommendations for them to become official policy. It is unclear who Kennedy will appoint to the new group. In a release, HHS said ACIP will still hold a planned meeting from June 25 to 27 to make recommendations. The advisor overhaul is the latest move by Kennedy – a prominent vaccine skeptic – to change and potentially undermine vaccinations in the U.S. since he took the helm at HHS. Under Kennedy, HHS stopped recommending routine Covid-19 vaccines for healthy children and healthy pregnant women and canceled programs intended to discover new vaccines to prevent future pandemics, among other changes.
  4. The President has also called for the arrest of Governor Newsome and said it would be a "great thing". While deploying 2000 Army and 700 Marine servicemembers into the state without the consent of the governor.
  5. 700 US Marines to be deployed to LA https://abcnews.go.com/US/live-updates/la-immigration-protests-live-updates-trump-deploys-2000/?id=122621279&entryId=122667907 Seven-hundred Marines in California have been ordered to assist in Los Angeles and they’re expected to arrive over the next 24 hours, a U.S. official confirmed. The Marines are from the 2nd Battalion, 7th Marines at Twentynine Palms, California, whom U.S. Northern Command had said Sunday were on a "prepared to deploy status" if the Defense Department needed them. Minutes before the Marines' deployment was confirmed, President Donald Trump was asked by ABC News if he planned on sending Marines to LA, and he said, "We’ll see what happens." "I mean, I think we have it very well under control," Trump said. "I think it would have been a very bad situation. It was heading in the wrong direction. It's now heading in the right direction." -ABC News' Luis Martinez and Karen Travers The president has also issued statements on Truth Social saying that he will not tolerate disrespect of National Guard troops (they're in the linked ABC reporting) - while he's ordering them to sleep on the floor because they didn't secure accomodations for the soldiers before deploying them credit to /r/Army for the picture
  6. TBH, raw "coding" is like 10% of the time spent in a developer role. You spend SO MUCH TIME just working on requirements and alignment with the business and stakeholders, and even then once the code is written you have to go through integration with the existing system and framework. That's just not something that a dataset exists to train an LLM to do. If your job is just rawdog-ass coding, and you just throw it over a wall and don't own it after you push it... Then yeah that's pretty low-value to an organization. Put on your big boy devops pants and start owning the delivery of business value from the code you've written, and baby you've got a career goin'
  7. Channel 5 News doing some good boots on the ground reporting out of LA, this came across my feed. Crazy that they found the police blotter audio of them being watched
  8. yeah dude, and if you call it out they get BIG MAD. Pronghorn out front shoulda told ya.
  9. https://github.com/cline/cline check it out - it's a VScode plugin too. It's configurable to point to damn near any LLM provider - Bedrock, Gemini, OpenAI, local with ollama - and I've been able to have it just set up and run entire github repos on its own by saying "read the readme.md and follow the steps to set it up". Friggin thing makes the venv, installs the dependencies, and will even error-correct along the way if it hits unexpected problems. for being free and open source it's really sped up my own home hacking projects. I don't code much for my day job anymore, but it's been super helpful when I've had to author workshop content or bugfix a problem
  10. Andor really did come out at the right time. It's really REALLY fucking unfortunate how topical it's been. Ghorman has a ton of similarities with LA, right down to the demonization by the State and guns and goons getting brought in by the truckload with the intent to instigate a fight
  11. Have you tried using Cline + ollama at all for locally hosted coding assistants? In my experimentation it's been incredibly helpful for both code development and local system interactions like CLI commands and file manipulation. I've been suuuuuuper impressed with what a relatively small 12B parameter model has been capable of
  12. the trailer is fucking crazy, Mark Hamill as a bad guy is haunting
  13. Not saying it's the wrong thing to do - protect yourself! But that's 100000% what trumpco is hoping for. If shots are fired, the army is going to roll the fuck in there and who knows what is gonna happen then.
  14. @Your Mom care to comment?
  15. *their
  16. He completely bumblefucked a ton of media properties that were producing revenue, just so that he could get some extra tax breaks. He's the consummate finance asshole that finally got the nod to lead, and then fucked up all their long-term value chasing get-richer-quicker schemes. It's pretty impressive
  17. You seem like the kind of person that's more devoted to "order" than to "justice". Law and order exist for the purpose of justice. If the law stops working for justice, it becomes a dam that blocks the flow of social progress. You are actively part of the problem for as long as you just want everyone to behave and know their place. If you think what I'm saying is stupid, you should read the whole letter for yourself.
  18. well it's all the democracts fault, or something amirite @BurntOrange&White? They should be out there propagandizing and lying just as hard as the right!
  19. It's more that you're accepting the rules of engagement as the fascsists set them. You're surrendering the high ground of what is "correct", and ceding objective reality to accept their lies and propaganda. And yeah, doing shit like that is exactly what the fascists NEED to succeed in their goals. So, maybe try NOT mindlessly repeating their lies? Present hard facts and let them cry about about how reality is biased against them. Stop babying these fucking fascists. Stop doing their work for them.
  20. So like, when you watch a show like Andor, do you just cheer for the Empire because pErCePtIoN iS rEaLiTy? lmfao yeah there was no hardcore cop repression of the neonazi marches and protests about how "JEWS WILL NOT REPLACE US", because the fucking cops are IN those protests
  21. This is literally just the plot of the back half of Westworld
  22. Those damn Ghorman Front assholes are gonna ruin it for the rest of us!!! If they would just be peaceful the empire would just move on!!!! As already covered, what happens on the ground doesn't matter with respect to how the feds will act. That die is already cast. They've been moving in weapons and soldiers. You do the math.
  23. One step further, the police chief was literally giving a press conference about how the cops are there to help, as that criminal assault by the horse cops happened ku12mxgert5f1DASH_480.mp4
  24. Check out LA if you want another rewatch. It's still in the build up, not quite to the big massacre yet
