Don’t forget that starship launch last year. The dumbass blew up a rocket and launched giant chunks of concrete onto people’s property because he’s a impatient child.

Which is hilarious, as the eponymous Culture is the epitome of luxury gay space anarchism. Pan-sexual, non-monogamous space hippies that can (and do) change their biological sex just by thinking about it. People so past the idea of “gender” that they consider giving any serious weight to the concept barbaric.
I know it’s a rhetorical question: but is Elon stupid or something?
Age and activity level absolutely effect how “tough” meat is. I’ve raised and cooked both heritage breed chickens and modern broilers. The former take 2-3 times as long to reach maturity, are far more active, and as a result are “tougher”. You can cook them just as fast a broiler, but the end result is going to be tough/chewy meat. The longer cooking time is needed to achieve equally tender meat.
It’s the difference between cooking a rib-eye and a brisket.
If only there were extensive images and videos of what happened.
It’s not about getting the day off: the goal is getting people to vote. Tying an extra day off to actually voting is more likely to get people to the polls
Modern bright lighting is great for daytime but one of the worst things we can do to ourselves in the evening or night. We absolutely did not evolve to be exposed to bright (particularly blue/white) light after the sun starts setting.
The best thing I did for my circadian rhythm was eliminate light in the bedroom and set up my lights to slowly shift to soft amber and dim in the evening. The trick is having it transition slowly so your eyes adjust and you don’t notice it.
To add to what you’ve said: if you’ve ever hit a bug (or anything else) at those speeds you notice it. A junebug will leave a fairly decent bruise on exposed skin, and for comparison a paintball out of a marker travels about 190 mph.
Imagine the random far more substantial debris flying around during a hurricane near those speeds.
One theory about how the whole Roswell UFO/aliens thing as government gaslighting.
This stuff happened during the height of the cold war when the Soviet Union was 100% looking for anything they could get on the USA’s secret programs. It’s easy to poison a source of actual intel if you send a few guys in suits and sunglasses to ask vague, leading questions to steer them towards “little green men.”

I remember when we had forums, it was ok to be upset sometimes.
I remember mods and admins that would ban you because you gently disagreed with something they said.
There wasn’t a moderation team – it was one weird guy that got off on power.
I just use my kindle as intended: using Calibre’s “email” button to load 100% legally obtained books via it’s _______@kindle.com address.
IDGAF. If they start yanking books off my device I’ll put it in airplane mode.
My car had USB for Android Auto and it barely provides enough enough power to maintain my phone’s charge while in use.
Thankfully wireless charging makes that an easy problem to bypass.
Do you really need fast charging in public outlets?
I always bring my own charger or power pack with me for security and speed, but “yes”.
If I’m using a public outlet my device is nearly dead and I probably only have limited time to hang out and charge it.
“Hey, should we use any of the ready to go setups the right-to-die people have put considerable thought in to?”
“No, let’s just wing it with shit we already have. What could go wrong?”
“Tricky” means “ethical issues of someone who took an oath to heal and save lives doing the opposite.”
There are jobs where it’s not feasible or practical to pay an actual human to do.
Human translators exist and are far superior to machine translators. Do you hire one every time you need something translated in a casual setting, or do you use something Google translate? LLMs are the reason modern machine translation is is infinitely better than it was a few years ago.
One of the major problems with LLMs is it’s a “boom”. People are rightfully soured on them as a concept because jackasses trying to make money lie about their capabilities and utility – never mind the ethics of obtaining the datasets used to train them.
They’re absolutely limited, flawed, and there are better solutions for most problems … but beyond the bullshit LLMs are a useful tool for some problems and they’re not going away.
I somehow got on the Trump campaign’s email list and periodically get garbage from them. I received the following email less than 4 hours after it happened.
ALERT FROM TRUMP My resolve is only stronger after another attempt on my life! I will never slow down. I will never give up. I WILL NEVER SURRENDER! I thank God every day for having supporters like you on my side. On November 5th, WE WILL MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! MAGA

I remember reading FEMA conspiracies on the internet 20 years ago. The bit I remember is that FEMA is going to use a diaster to round up anyone not a milquetoast “sheeple” and put them in concentration camps as part of ushering in the New World Order. Wikipedia has an article on it that covers the basics – it dates back to 1982.
The website I saw had pictures of the backs of street signs, claiming the stickers and blemishes from the factory were “semaphores” that FEMA could use as route markers to said concentration camps. It was wild.
