Ah, the good old Hydraulic Press Channel never disappoints. As one YouTube commenter put it: "If I owned one of these, I would eventually own nothing else."
It's crazy that something that builds up so much pressure is kind of calming to watch:

Didn't you also say that the US is the richest country in the world? Take off that cross you hypocrite.

This is such a cool project that really deserves your attention - if you are even slightly interested in Optimization Benchmarking especially in the energy sector. Very well made app that makes it a joy to browse and discover!
New tool for modelers&solver devs! The Open Energy Benchmark lets you compare 5 OSS & commercial LP/MILP solvers across more model framework, enhancing speed, scale, transparency of the energy transition.

The German 1930s called: they want their propaganda minister back.

You cannot teach love or patriotism - this is brainwashing or indoctrination.
Stephen Miller: "Children will be taught to love America. Children will be taught to be patriots. Children will be taught civic values for schools that want federal taxpayer funding ... we're gonna make sure these funds are not being used to promote communist ideology."

WTF - or "what the fun"

The ignorance and stupidity of this administration is mind boggling.

We'll do a deep dive on what it means to test .... optimization code (surprised pikachu face :) ). And there will be cake :)

Ukraine is not alone.

Germany together with our European allies stands united alongside #Ukraine - and against the Russian aggression. Ukraine can build on unwavering support from Germany, Europe and beyond. Their defence of democracy & their quest for peace & security is ours.

WTF. The audacity to ask such a question.
GLENN: Why don't you wear a suit? You're at the highest level in this country's office & you refuse to wear a suit. A lot of Americans have problems with you not respecting the office.
