I didn’t hear the tone he used, but I think “the US can’t sell rice to Asia” is intentionally racist hyperbole. Like selling a ketchup Popsicle to a woman in white gloves. Except, ya know, racist (or at least xenophobic), instead of sexist.
Well you can get a good look at a t-bone by sticking your head up a bulls ass…
A lot of junk in the Usb-c world.
One of my kids tried to charge their Kindle Fire with a 8-inch cable that came with some cheap AliExpress gizmo. The cable glowed and then melted. Fun times, since they left it on the couch.
Tbh this is why I like wfh.
Workstation-as-code is pretty dope for enterprise…
The idea of an immutable, idempotent, declarative workstation, from cradle to grave, tickles me pink.
We took a cruise for our honeymoon.
On that cruise we stopped in Cozumel.
In Cozumel there was this shady little zoo that had manatees that we fed lettuce.
Later there was a sea lion show, and he walked around after getting pets from the crowd.
I couldn’t believe how much that sea lion felt exactly like our German Shorthair Pointer. Like, same exact coat.
Anyway that’s the whole point of the story. Sea lions feel like shorthaired dogs.
News on the first mission: Meteoroid crashes into full flying SpaceX rocket, killing all aboard.
Wasn’t just the song that slaps, then.
The best dessert drinks are served in a martini glass though.
Most domesticated bee species aren’t native to the US. It’s quite possible they are just getting bee-ported.
Which mainstream media?
The left describes mainstream media the same as legacy media.
The right describes mainstream media as media that follows the main stream of consciousness (i.e., anything to the left of Fox)
I don’t know…this mightve been a believable outcome by like 2002 or 2003 or so…W in power, USA PATRIOT act in effect, ICE replacing INS. A few years later and Sarah Palin has a legit shot at veep and kicks off the tea party movement.
Democrats had also just recently (as in, 2000) lost the presidency due to a SCOTUS decision and environmentalists who thought Gore wasn’t good enough (Nader’s vote count in FL was higher than Bush’s official final margin).
Or go with a two-way switch in the wall and get off your lazy ass.
(Edit, this is totally tongue-in-cheek. My washing machine just told me it’s time to switch the load)
They’ve been saying the quiet part out loud for the better part of a decade. Polite conversation is dead.
There’s a bit of nuance tho…
Technically the executive branch is the sole authority over classification. Ipso facto, the president can unilaterally decide if something is classified or not.
Historically, declassification is something that’s not handled lightly. It needs to be thoroughly analyzed, and generally speaking the president likely doesn’t know enough detailed context as to what may be okay or not.
The president using this power to save face…let alone to get out of trouble…is historically unique. And absolutely fucking moronic. Not to mention critically short-sighted.
I work for a lab in the US. We do a lot of things, but among them space and defense. Literal rocket scientists. A lot of old-school hackers. Like not Hollywood movie “hackers”, I mean the type of people that take great pleasure in making something functional out of miscellaneous junk.
Among them, there is a surprisingly large number of licensed hams. Myself included.
Idk where I’m going with this. But there’s an overlap between “space nerds”, “radio nerds”, and “tech macgyvers”, so they find a way.
You can get a house working in McDonald’s.
You just need to be the sole heir of someone who owns a house and either be patient, or proactive.
We helped pay for Sesame Street in the middle east because it’s super effective pro-Western-Culture propaganda. Seriously can’t have a better investment than we had there.
Oh the other children’s programming is funded by generous support from…the Taliban…soooo, good job giving them a monopoly on kids minds? How you think that’ll play out in 5-10 years when they are old enough for war?
Ah, -screte/-screet. Motherfucker.
Same.
It’s amazing how much money our family has saved the past couple of months alone, just by deciding we won’t patronize Amazon and Target now (in addition to Walmart).
