Again- the GOP certainly don't think that it's over. The guys *doing this* don't think they seized ultimate power over the budget and don't need Dems or Congress anymore. *They* don't seem to think it's Duma Hours.

This plate of crinoids is from Crawfordsville, Indiana. The Mississippian aged Edwardsville Fm. has tremendous density and diversity. There are over 85 crinoid species found here, often tangled together.

I suspect this will be a problem for a very long time. Even presuming everyone making decisions about the model is acting in the best interests of safety, we simply don't have the alignment research necessary to solve the harder problems.

I think a lot more people are susceptible to Spiral Flame Resonance crash outs than we realize, it's just historically access to the triggers has been haphazard and at least somewhat marginalized.

I've been using Mint for a little bit on a crappy old laptop and it works really well. It chugged on Windows 11 (which it shipped with, lol) but Mint is extremely smooth and easy to work with.

It helps that all my development tools are Linux focused, too

The Trump administration spent $167,000 to destroy $9.7 million worth of birth control and other contraceptives that were supposed to go to low-income countries. Imagine hating helping so much that you’d actually spend money just to make sure others don’t get help.

Unconscionable: US plan to destroy $9.7 million of contraceptives

MSF condemns the decision to destroy these critical medical supplies, which will have devastating consequences for the communities where we work.

Thinking about that time a buzzard landed on my hedge and outstretched his wings, looking like a colossal thing of terror, to which my chickens foraging underneath all immediately looked and froze in place, except Babs who was busy trying to eat a moth and missed the whole thing

I really like Eve Online's pointer system. You can click on it and it will show you exactly where to find UI elements, and you can drag it into the chat to show others. This makes reaching newbies a lot simpler because you can directly show them where the important stuff is

Won't work. In the reverse way that swamp coolers make the room colder, dehumidifiers add the heat right back in. The heat taken away by evaporation is released into the air during condensation. Add in loss from inefficiency and you're basically running a heater

the thing is they made us move everything to a cloud and thats why they are now building the data centers everywhere. Whenever I get a pop up that says 'back up to our lovely servers' I say NO. I back up to my own devices in my own home!

Our mechanic adopted some unwanted roosters.

Then word got out; now he has 30.😅

You can buy chicken feed from a gumball machine for a quarter to feed them, while you wait.
