Is putting small companies out of business better for the country? No. Is putting this guy out of business better for the country? Maybe. 🤷🏻

Flagship. The flagship is the ship that leads the fleet, but people use it to describe quality. When Nothing launched their first phone, it was a flagship because it was their only ship, but people argued it wasn’t a flagship because it didn’t use Qualcomm’s flagship chipset. People continue to refer to all of Apple’s newest numbered iPhone models as flagships, and recently looped the 16e into that group, but the Pro line is obviously the flagship line. The other models are other ships in the fleet.

Not an employee, but I was part of an accounting project for a firearms manufacturer at their local shipping and repair facility, and the repair guys would use the hallway for sight alignment, so we’d sometimes step into the hall and see a rifle pointed our way. No ammo was allowed on-site, so it was safe, but it was still unnerving for the first few weeks. Now I fear my response to seeing a rifle pointed my way will be to politely step aside and wait.

Translated to English, probably “Name-of-Star” 3, as in 3rd planet from our star, same system as Star Trek. The key difference is Columbus had no idea where he was going, and aliens have to know exactly where they’re going. Can’t shoot into space and find a planet by accident.

Analog audio is analogous.

Came here for this. Was not disappointed.

Don’t break it. Switch to kombucha. Synergy raw kombucha is 60 calories per ~450mL. Fizz is from fermentation, which gives it a little bit of alcohol but with a lot of probiotics that are good for your gut biome. I keep that and flavored carbonated water in rotation, along with plenty of filtered water.

“…viewed by many evangelicals as a “heretic” who exploits faith for profit.” — They are so close to figuring this out, yet so far.

Join the US Navy. They’ll pay you to cross an ocean on a ship and pay for your college tuition.

Yeah, it’s weird to call this a “warning” after he already sent a mob after Pence, and then pardoned the entire mob. Seems like we’re well past warnings at this point.

“Earlier this week, DeepSeek unveiled its R1 model, which, the startup claims, meets, if not exceeds, performance from OpenAI’s o1 model released last year. (o1 is designed to tackle reasoning and math problems.)” — Oh, so China built their for math and we built ours for garbage. Interesting approach.

I don’t see nothing wrong with a little bump and grind.

Will the space be oval?

From small mushroom to large extra pepperoni, we got what you want at Pizza Dick.

It’s a farce: “a light dramatic composition marked by broadly satirical comedy and improbable plot”. It’s played straight. The stakes are serious. It should be a tragedy. But then there’s a literal turning point when they turn around to rescue Watney, and it’s ridiculous.

It’s been a rough couple of decades for everyone. Buddy needs something to take the edge off.

We literally had Impossible Whoppers today because they’re good, can be veganized (reasonably), and we lost our local BKs. There’s one near a store we visit every few months. Puts a hard limit on the amount we can eat.

It wouldn’t have stopped him from winning the election. Trump escaped accountability when the Senate failed to convict him in his second impeachment. That, and the first impeachment, were the only convictions that would have barred him from running. Two impeachments, one coup attempt, one felony conviction, and we still elected him. Pretty sure that’s on us.

Yes, he calls wind turbines “windmills,” but in this case, he’s reading windfall as windmill.

They misspelled “we”.
