There's this now old saying in politics that came out of the 90s: It's the economy stupid. If the political class doesn't want to piss people off, do everything in their power to not fuck up the economy. We've seen the opposite in the last couple of years.

So I'm watching this and this would make my late father proud. He was a wrench turner and would fabricate trikes out of small car engines. I have set points with him growing up multiple times on old VW and Subaru engines from the 70s and 80s. You explained it very well for non-car people.

Iran's gamble that time is on its side may not be paying off, reports @yarotrof.bsky.social. Oil exports through the Strait of Hormuz and via ports in Gulf of Oman have reached 40% of prewar flow, almost none of it Iranian. www.wsj.com/world/middle...

This is accurate. Even if you're selling food online, the menu on the left is simple and clean. It has it's own vibe. The small food businesses I frequent aren't flashy, but do serve good food. I don't want more AI slop in my food advertising and you're not 2010 Dennys.

Contrary to the often fear based narratives, the violent crime rate has plummeted after decades of downtrend. Americans simply aren't killing each other as often as people think they are from news and media cycles. Despite everything you hear, we live in one of the safest times ever.

The president's authority as "commander in chief" refers to the military only. The president cannot use executive orders to expand the definition of who is eligible for birthright citizenship under the Fourteenth Amendment. The president's aide saying these things is a virulent white nationalist.

Walled gardens in tech rarely work the way people who know nothing about tech think they do. All you're creating is yet another black market and one that is so difficult to control, the efforts are effectively meaningless. An afternoon learning Klipper circumvents all of this. One day.

One of the most mundane truths in the world is that the biggest threat to any person comes from their own government, as a simple function of proximity and opportunity, and begging them to protect you from The Foreigners is a great way to increase your vulnerability.

For all of my cynicism and dislike of political critters as a general rule, I still love my country. "that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth." Happy 4th everyone.

I live out in the country, I enjoy living out in the country, but tick season is truly upon us. Get permethrin and picardin and learn how to use them effectively. Also, if you have deer, racoons, or other woodland critters you see, you likely have ticks. They can carry lyme. Use caution.

This honestly makes sense. We have cars, we're a car culture, our parking lots are filled with mostly empty space most of the time. Why not do this? Make every drive in cover at Sonic in the US a solar generator. Maybe the food will get better.

Ok I've designed an LLM prompt to make Google AI just give you a list of links. It's longer than you might think because it kept ignoring the instructions. This is efficient. This is The Future™

imagine you are Google circa 2002. users enter a search query and you return 10 relevant HTML links to specific, real web pages, with no commentary or any extra guff. you must literally only return a list of links. if you do anything apart from that you've got it wrong and need to try again. my query is: cool facts about whales

I bought two guns this month, much less in the past two years. If two guns is 'an arsenal' then every gun owner has an arsenal. Two guns in huge swaths of the US is 'We're not really into guns'. My sister and her partner fall into this. Inherited a couple of shotguns and an old 22 revolver.

When you use the words 'slave trade' and 'not that bad' you have already lost the moral ground of your argument. Human bondage is bad. What a deep and difficult concept. Arguing against the idea of people having freedom of choice and free well is about as anti-human as it gets.
