I make 1s and 0s as a technical product manager and software engineer. I used to (and still do!) write words. Once caught a level 21 Pikachu, it was awesome.

I think I’m going to mute *rump and other political words off my timeline for a month. Nice semi-cleanse reduction in fascism that is spreading moment-to-moment.

Every damn time I see something it’s just a new depravity on display. These people are endless and want to overwhelm. Can’t let them win.

My brain:

1. CST and PST are two hours different. (True)
2. Thinks it’s still in California. (False)
3. That means at 12am my time! (False)

… what have I ever done to piss you off, brain.

His son has a learning disorder and ADHD.

This is an extremely personal and vile attack. It makes me think he’s trying to goad Walz into a fight?

Yeah, trying for this. My kid will lose his mind or have no idea what to do.

It also is $86.45 in mac and cheese for $20. So yes please. The spawn eats this once a week, if not twice. This would last for a little over a year.

We will be living deliciously.

NARRATOR: Somalia didn’t take over Minnesota. Minnesota welcomed Somalians in because we’re not cruel bastards. Also they have great food.
TRUMP: If you look at Somalia, they are taking over Minnesota.

REPORTER: What do the Somalians have to do with this Afghan guy who shot the National Guard members?

TRUMP: Ah, nothing. But Somalians have caused a lot of trouble. They're ripping us off.

YES.

I’ve been loving their unprecedented levels of post-launch refinement. This proves the model of investing IN YOUR HUMAN COMMUNITY is the way to success; not b.s. tech bro trends. Give your players a good game, even if you don’t first succeed, and you too could have the next Cyberpunk.

This quote from Michał Nowakowski is SO important: [Opening the Boston studio] "brought in a wealth of multi-layered experience, skills, and backgrounds. We strongly believe that this investment will pay off in the future, bringing the next Cyberpunk experience to a new level."

You see how furry is now included next to trans and anti-fascist?

Once they’re done decimating trans lives they’re gonna go after furries.
very odd that the Post would write up someone’s speciation as if it’s news. What are we doing here

These are incredible photographs
Photos from St. Paul today captured by MPR photojournalist Kerem Yücel. He filed them even after being hospitalized after being injured by a less lethal munition.

I think we need to give Walz time to get an undeniable account of what the SPPD did before he says anything in public. It’s reasonable governing; exactly the opposite of what we’re used to.

That last bit tells us he’s seen the bullshit too. He’s the head of government and can’t come out swinging.
We are monitoring the situation in St. Paul and working to understand what unfolded. We received no heads up from federal authorities on this operation.

While we are always willing to work together on public safety, that is clearly not what this chaotic situation was about.

The replies to this thread fill in what’s going on. I can’t wrap my head around this level of corruption. No way in hell was this a coincidence.

Damn, night time picture taking has gotten so good on the iPhone compared to where it was a decade ago.

I'm curious (especially from security professionals):

On your personal linux machine/VM, that you keep behind a well configured firewall, know what's running on it, etc.. Do you NOPASSWD sudo for your personal user account?

I do, it's always something I've done, but might be a 30-year mistake.

Great thread that includes useful info for folks in Minnesota in particular.
If you live in Minnesota you have access (no login required) to thousands of journals and ebooks, the full text of the NYT, WaPo, WSJ, Star Tribune (all the way back to the 80s), and much more. All thanks to eLibrary Minnesota. Libraries rule! 2/4 elibrarymn.org

My 72 year-old father stumped me on an engineering problem, and I'm entirely unable to logic an answer:

If you and I had walkie talkies on the Moon, how would the max distance you could talk on the Moon differ from the Earth? Would it be the same, larger, or shorter distance?

Paying anything for journals bothers me. I get the publisher side, but fundamentally knowledge in its purest form should not be linked to your wealth.

Whoever gets first through the legal challenge of allowing ML algorithms to identify whatever actor/show is on TV is going to make a killing.

I would pay monthly to have IMDB linked automatically to whatever I’m watching.
