So, every year we wait til our pumpkins start rotting and then throw them in the back yard for our pigs to eat. Apparently there’s been enough rain in Arizona this year that we now have an actual pumpkin patch growing in the backyard

Sam Altman finding a monkey’s paw:

Four panels arranged vertically, each with the same man and woman in them.

First panel shows man explaining something. Second panel shows woman asking “well, did it work for them?”. Third panel shows man responding “no, it never does”. Fourth panel shows man continuing “but it might work for us”

All other terrible things acknowledged and aside… conservatively, 200$ million dollars just poof for no reason

The F-15EX Eagle Il has a reported flyaway cost of approximately $90 million to $97 million per unit as of late 2023, based on production lots
2-4. When fully equipped with advanced systems like the EPAWSS electronic warfare suite, the total cost for a combat-ready aircraft can reach up to $117 million.

Does anyone have this -80 freezer and/or have the manual and/or know how to turn it on and set the temperature? Does it go through an automatic burn in period before setting temp? (Never mind the cracking panel…that was from me breaking it open)

Just need to share that J bred an awesome horse that she is going to own/ride forever, and when he was born it was a rule on the farm that year that the horses were named after NASCAR drivers… And it’s kicking the a$$ of many other fancy horses… And his name is “Ricky Bobby” and that’s perfect
