Trying to imagine a world in which I only heard rumors of concern

"Donald Trump is the greatest president of all timeẠạsaid Tracy Spencer of Chattanooga, Tennessee, as she awaited the president's arrival in Marine One. Asked how she addresses the increasing criticism of the president from disillusioned conservatives, she scoffed.
"Well, none of my friends and family are expressing that to me, because they know betterẠạ she said. "But I have heard the rumors that there are some people that think that, and I would say to those people that growth doesn't happen overnight and that there are growing pains."

“Indigenous military-industrial learning process” just blue screened me. Is this what it feels like to die. Am I dying

"Tehran has not simply supplied the Houthis with weapons. It has helped create an indigenous military-industrial learning process that becomes progressively harder to dismantle, even if direct Iranian supply routes are disrupted

YES ok so I totally agree, but majority feedback was the opposite. As a result, I put a completely unfindable control in settings that is “hard mode,” which simply means no locked lines

I would rather have this one guy back than the entire cabinet, staff, and even human printers of the administration.

Pierre Damas Bel was in college at Wright State University in Ohio when he was issued his bulky ankle monitor. He was an athlete.
And he hoped to study neuroscience and be a doctor. He was exactly the kind of young person whom previous versions of the Republican Party would have seen as an American success story. But he was a Haitian immigrant, so he was not wanted by the Trump administration, which did not seem to care who he was, or who he might become. In September, he called his father to say he felt "humiliated." CNN reported that soon after, police told his father that he had "thrown himself under a truck." A local pastor, Carl Ruby, said at a news conference that it was "our immigration policy that took his lifeạẠạ

Randy Northrup writes: “350 clocks is a serious commitment. MIT plus ‘or just steal it’ is exactly the spirit that got so many of us into web dev in the first place.”
I reply: “Wow robot, saying ‘just steal it’ is what got you into web dev is a remarkable admission”
Randy responds: “Ha, fair. I meant view-source and forking pens, not grand theft. 350 MIT clocks is still a lot of free learning material for whoever finds them.”

When I started this project, the idea was to make an Inca quipu, which is a knotted counting system. Basically "what if quipu, but a loom." dr.eamer.dev/games/quipu-... It's fun to hover your mouse through! Other than that, I stand by going with the minimal version instead.

Myth #4: Community members get nothing from data centers.
This is also false. Data centers bring considerable
tax revenue, positive economic impact, large numbers of good jobs, education programs and other benefits to the communities where they're
built. Data center operators are often the single
largest taxpayer in a community, with upfront payments routinely exceeding entire annual municipal budgets in the first year of construction,
and long-term tax revenue often exceeding prior land use revenue by more than 1,000%. For example, in St. Joseph County, Indiana, the taxes Amazon will pay to the county are estimated to exceed $3 billion,
while the prior use on the same land would have
paid just $1.2 million over the same term. In
Montgomery County, Missouri, our project will pay more than $1.8 billion in taxes over 25 years, while
the prior use would have generated about

$200,000 (0.01% of what we'll pay in taxes) over the same period. A 2026 report by Mangum Economics for the Northern Virginia Technology Council
estimates that without data center revenue, the average homeowner in Loudoun County, Virginia would pay additional property taxes of $5,800 per year. This new revenue from data centers often not
only dramatically reduces the taxes paid by families,
but it also funds investments in schools, fire and
police departments, parks, roads, and other community services. This is on top of the direct
investments most data center companies make to
local organizations that are used to address issues
most important to them, such as modernized emergency dispatch services, clean energy
projects, and support for local food banks. Over the past three years, Amazon has contributed more than $1 billion to communities across the U.S. in
which we have a meaningful data center press

Additionally, thousands of construction jobs are created to build data centers. These jobs benefit
families in these communities and are a boon for
local small businesses. The average wages paid far
exceed local and national medians, and the job
numbers associated with these projects are
typically very significant compared to the size of
these communities. For example, in Madison County, Mississippi (population: 116,000), where we have two
data center sites under construction, there are over 2,300 people currently employed in construction; and in Newton County, Georgia (population: 125,000), there are over 1,500 people currently employed.
Many jobs are also created to operate a data center
once it's complete. For example, for the data centers in Madison County, we will employ over 1,700
people, and in Newton County, we will employ 400 people. And, we have over 20 education and workforce development programs to help en
