What @emilymbender.bsky.social said. And also f/the journalists in the back: when reps of big powerful organizations tell themselves fictional fantasy stories they not only insist are true, but also insist everyone must believe them, follow them, or give them $$$...that sounds like a religious cult.

In any case, it's a disgrace for US foreign policy. Sanctions on Russia should be strengthened, not weakened.

This is a deal between two men who are desperate to look like they have cards on their hands: 1. Putin had to lift an export ban after Ukrainian drone strikes to deliver a symbolic amount of diesel. 2. Trump pretends that it will make a difference for diesel prices in America.

Far too many people simply hate children for existing
Neighbor blasts an ultrasonic device audible and painful only to children whenever they pass on the public sidewalk.

Was riding bikes with my daughter and a friend to school this morning. We passed a house and they both started yelling, "Ow! It hurts my ears." Really strange, right? Then I hear a voice play through a speaker who says, "If it hurts your ears, ride your bikes somewhere else!"

Now I'm angry. Literally doing nothing but riding bikes to school, probably one of the most wholesome activities a person could imagine, and...I can't even get my brain around it. 

It's apparently not loud, but it is tuned to a frequency higher than I can hear. If it's low enough for my children to hear it, it's going to be almost useless as an animal deterrent. It is specifically designed to cause pain to humans and serves no other purpose.

How is this legal?

It's highly unlikely that Russia has diesel fuel it can spare since it doesn't have enough for its own needs.

Re: Trump's diesel deal with Putin Conversion factor is 7.5 barrels of diesel per metric ton. Daily global diesel consumption is around 25 million bpd. So, the initial 300,000 tons, or 2.2 million barrels, would meet global demand for about two hours.

I support the Pentagon’s decision to livestream the execution of mass-murderer Nidal Hassan.  

Capital punishment is commanded by God in Genesis 9:6 to remind people of the sanctity of human life. The more people that can see that truth illustrated through a public execution, the better.

"What makes the case for SpaceX, Tesla and X more difficult in some markets is concern about Musk’s relative proximity to power in Washington, as well as his penchant for speaking out about sensitive topics — both at home and abroad." "sensitive topics" is one hell of a euphemism.

GPT-6 *still* can't produce reliable output on whether Halifax or Charlottetown is further east when I challenge it even the tiniest little bit
Screenshot from a session with ChatGPT:

Q: How do you justify the ordering of Charlottetown and Halifax?

R: There is no justification for that ordering. Halifax is farther east than Charlottetown, so Charlottetown should come before Halifax in a strict west-to-east ordering.

Charlottetown, PEI: approximately 63.1° W longitude
Halifax, Nova Scotia: approximately 63.6° W longitude

Because Halifax's longitude is farther west (a larger number of degrees west), Halifax actually lies west of Charlottetown.

I made a mistake in my explanation. The correct order is Halifax, then Charlottetown, when ordering strictly from west to east.

The reason why this won't happen is because there are a bunch of structural choices in software design that are about the company's business model. The companies will never create a system where software is infinitely customizable because the companies won't make as much money.

This is an excellent point. When pro-democracy, anti-corruption forces get power, they won't need elaborate new laws to start getting Elon Musk, Palmer Luckey, Peter Thiel, and other tech oligarchs out of government. They've almost certainly committed fraud and other already existing crimes.
