Because it is strategically important for Europe to be buying LNG from the US instead of Russia.

Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

Couple of hundred people at least at the Albany #nokings getting lots of supporting honks at the corner of Solano and San Pablo.

People crowding all corners of San Pablo and Solano in Albany for the 10/18 No Kings protest. Not pictured: many more lining the blocks in all directions.

SF No Kings seemed big? Hard to tell from inside the crowd. But it took ~45 minutes for us to start moving, and we weren’t all the way at the back.

A big crowd of people gathered for the 10/18 No Kings protest at the end of Market St in San Francisco.

The lesson Trump seems to have taken from “it’s not the crime it’s the coverup” is that he should just do the crimes openly, and….it seems to be working? WTF?

@dieworkwear.bsky.social really burying the lede here which is that Matt Walsh commissioned a painting of himself meeting aliens and hung it over his fireplace? WTAF

For a while, it was believed that women and gay men are born with a natural sense for aesthetics. In reality, straight men, particularly American male Protestants, have simply barred themselves from taking an interest in aesthetics because they think this makes them noble.

A tweet from Matt Walsh reads: "Dudes like this were already gay. I’ve been married for 14 years and have never been home decor shopping, or even had an opinion on the subject, except for the one time when I had a painting custom made depicting me meeting a group of space aliens. It’s now hanging above a fireplace in our home." He is reacting to a video, where a man and a woman are shopping for home decor. The original poster writes: "when will people finally acknowledge the epidemic of men marrying women and being turned gay"

You won’t for Zohran Mamdani because he’s a socialist. I won’t vote for Zohran Mamdani because he couldn’t manage to steal even one moderately large piece of furniture in college without getting caught. A real mayor would have stolen a womb chair from the library and gotten away clean.

In areas hit by Texas floods, officials were sent over $5 million in federal ARPA funds in 2021.

They didn't want to spend it on flood warning systems due to their disdain for Biden - and didn't send it BACK because it might go to a blue state, and "values that we in Kerr county don't agree with."

I voted for him once for SF Mayor because I was stupid, once for Governor because the alternative was Cox and I was too lazy to write anyone else in, and I will be extremely frustrated if I end up voting for him a 3rd time for anything. But (ENORMOUS SIGH) I <grits teeth> stand with my governor.

If you really can’t live with more than 5 minutes of downtime a year from your DB, it’s not that crazy? But for almost everyone you are going to have way more downtime than that because devops fat-fingers something or the intern pushes bad code anyhow, so….

According to their FAQ, 100K “DPU” gets you 700K TPC-C r/w transactions and it’s $8 / M DPU. A 4 core CockroachDB cluster is ~$500 / month, so for the same price you get ~60M DPU which turns into something like 150 txn/sec?

what’s the publicly searchable name of the AWS Data Transfer Facility? Wrong answers only.

Corey “🎃Managed NAT Gateway👻” Quinn @quinnypig.com · May 14

The bar is high, but this might be the most batshit insane thing I’ve ever seen in the AWS documentation. “To find the address of the facility, google it.”

Text screenshot:

Terminal facility physical address

The physical address for the Data Transfer Terminal facility will not be provided. Instead, the Process owner and Data transfer specialists specified in the reservation will receive an email with the searchable public name of the Data Transfer Terminal facility. AWS Data Transfer Terminal uses the same location identification system as AWS Direct Connect so you can search for the public name on the internet to locate the Data Transfer Terminal facility. If you do not have an email with this information, confirm with your AWS Data Transfer Terminal account manager that you are included in the Transfer team and that your email information is correct.

I’m sure there is some scheduling reason for it but the transfer station being different depending on which direction you are going is confusing for riders and sounds like maybe for train operators as well?
