Maybe don’t use such a biblically resonant word like “strangers” when pushing an anti-immigrant agenda that directly contradicts every passage you’re unwittingly alluding to.

The yard (since it's untreated by chemical application etc) sprouted a bunch of yellow rocket (Barbarea vulgaris, aka wintercress). @geekers.bsky.social spent 30 minutes digging up about 4L volume of the stuff and I trimmed it down to flowers and leaves. Blanched in salted/lemoned water. Delicious.

About seven years ago, Nick and I wrote a Black Mirror spec where people had a personal AI device called ChooseU that helped you make the best decisions for yourself, gradually transforming you into a complete narcissistic sociopath who’d do anything to get what you want. Anyway, they’ve made that.

This will keep happening, again, every time Republicans get a shred of power, for decades. The precedent is set, and they will not stop for a couple of generations.

There's current IBM hardware out there still running code that was last *compiled* in the 1990s. After generations of operating system and platform architecture changes. Through dozens of layers of abstraction and compatibility shells. MS does a GOOD job of this, but IBM is better.

Keep in mind always the two constant Laws of Frisbee: 1. The most powerful force in the world is that of a disc straining to land under a car, just out of reach (this force is technically termed "car suck"). 2. Never precede any maneuver by a comment more predictive than "Watch this!"

The starting premise of a democracy based on the rule of law is that the same illegal actions should meet with the same legal consequences, regardless of who the actor is. This is why Democrats cheered when Bob Menendez was convicted & will not defend what Hunter Biden did. MAGA is built different.

In summary, trade wars & threatening to withhold your bulk export goods is a terrible way to get what you want from the world. All US farmers are doing with this trade war is make openings for other countries. Because bulk exports can be replaced a lot faster than you'd think. And so can we.

The odds of an LLM finding "2+2" associated with "4" is quite high. The odds of it finding "450 / 1.15" associated with "391.30" is not much higher than "450 / 1.15" associated with "250". And that's why LLMs make shitty calculators.

"Tariff" or whatever else, from a practical and pragmatic standpoint, the best way to calculate is "compare what it costs now to what it cost twenty years ago". Because almost every increase since then is a downstream outcome of "rich people fucking with you" at some layer of abstraction or another.

It doesn't matter how much range an EV comes with. On any model-specific forum, there will be some new owner popping up with a "great idea" for wiring in more battery and asking how feasible it would be to do in his garage. Usually multiple times per year.

Do not adjust your screen. Viewing this tree does not require special 3-D glasses. That's just what the 'Rising Sun' redbud (Cercis canadensis) looks like. Native to North America, it was found growing wild & propagated. The trippy 3-D movie effect is a consequence of two factors:

A small tree has a dense green core of foliage, but at the ends of each branch, those leaves shade to pink and yellow in a continuous color gradient that corresponds with proximity to the trunk and leaf size. A grey house with composite roof is nearby, and some other garden plants and shrubs.
