You simply forgot to set up an AI agent that sends the cats an email AND slack if the Jira hasn’t been commented on, or resolved, in the past 72 hours. Because according to some unnamed folks that boosts productivity <nods wanly>

Am I out of touch, or is it weird that “the holiday to mourn our war dead” is viewed by retailers as a “WAITLL YOU SEE THESE DISCOUNTS ON KHAKIS AND CARS AND TVS” weekend

If you had to vote, would you say the delta between a good pistachio and bad pistachio is more or less than that between a good pear and a bad pear

I like the concept academically, but have to say hard pass on any sort of in-game monetization mechanic (/s)

the way Republicans brag about being the party of dismantling racism in the 1800s is like me bragging about how Yankees have 27 rings. OK if you knew how to do that 100 years ago isn't it even more embarrassing that you don't do it anymore

My hunch is each constituent buildable part had a volume attribute and they just summed those. But your voxel approach would work as well, if a more complex/accurate approach was needed

By a 6-3 vote, SCOTUS lets Trump fire the Dem members of the Consumer Product Safety Commission, who are protected against removal by statute. Dissenting, Kagan says the majority is undertaking a “permanent transfer of authority” from Congress to the president. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...
The result—an increase of executive power at the expense of legislative authority-does not stand alone. Just last week, this Court granted another stay allowing the President to ignore a federal statute. That decision permitted the President to push forward in dismantling the Department of Education, even though Congress created that agency and tasked it with performing vital functions. See McMahon v. New York, 606 U.S.
(2025)
(SOTOMAYOR, J., dissenting) (slip op., at 1). If the majority had any valid basis for taking that action (relating, say, to the breadth of the District Court's preliminary injunction) it did not appear on the face of the Court's unreasoned or-der. See id., at _ (order) (slip op., at 1); id., at (SOTOMAYOR, J., dissenting) (slip op., at 18). That order simply signaled that the President could carry on, even in the face of a conflicting statute. So too does this order, and with the same lack of care. The majority has acted on the emergency docket—with "little time, scant briefing, and no argument" —to override Congress's decisions about how to structure administrative agencies so that they can perform their prescribed duties. Wilcox, 605 U.S., at
_ (KAGAN,
J., dissenting) (slip op., at 5). By means of such actions, this Court may facilitate the permanent transfer of authority, piece by piece by piece, from one branch of Government to another. Respectfully, I dissent.

They’re not on BSky, but if you like guitar & vocals driven folk, check out the Teskey Brothers. First heard them in AUS, saw them in SF, & they’re coming to SD later this year. Pure emotion. I preordered their newest vinyl & they included a signed card, BS w fans after the show, just sheer class

Definitely one of those “I had no idea until I/my family member/partner was in the ER” impacts of T1D. I think maybe because it’s on the more complex end of the “ways T1D kills you” spectrum? But definitely needs to be more well known

Disappeared games are definitely weird. That was one of the saddest parts transitioning from AAA console/PC to mobile. So many games never to be seen/played again In any case, purchased a copy and will dive into it this weekend. Cheers to a well-shipped game may it rest in peace 🍻

Yupppp. Plus wealthy, retired folks have far more time & resources to spend advocating than working folks with long commutes. So their “grassroots groups” are over-represented on street corner signfests and council meetings (ofc you do a great job rallying more of us to show up! 🙌)

I also like this in the Warrant Canary sense, albeit without the “you can’t disclose due to national security” reasoning, as if they become more popular, _not_ having this statement at the end can subtly imply the usage of AI at some level, even if the presenter is not in support of that usage

Amen. And IIRC they are relatively cheap compared to the other resultant costs (Ambulance, ER, etc)

Just adding to a popular thread, learning basics of using an AED is as effective, if not moreso, than basic CPR (when an AED is available, as is the case in airports, transit centers, hospitals etc) Learn basic AED, always call 911, and administer AED, and you can save a life
