I did work at a Pepsi factory installing product for their warehouse; this is close to a truth lol.
One of my coworkers brought a coke product in their lunch and was drinking it in the break room. Someone from upper management came in and saw and it became a whole issue.
They probably would have been less angry if he had been doing lines in there.
Jesus Christ, the man was well liked by his country. Its not the time or the place for that. Ffs, its not even been 6 hours
In the past 25 years ive been an avid coffee drinker, its rare I’ll be at a diner and look at the price of coffee. It should be between 2 and 4 bucks (for a good cup, like local roasted).
Now if they go and get the same cup again tomorrow, thats on them.
Not defending the price of a cup of coffee at all, but as someone who roasts their own coffee (both cause I love the process and am a cheap bastard), its only fair to point out the price of green beans is almost exactly double the price it was 3 years ago.
Again, plenty of ways to slice the astronomic price, but at the end of the day I would only half blame the restaurant here on the mark up

I make it in a food processor once every 2 weeks or so. Thats it. I buy salted peanuts, so literally just dump the bag of peanuts into the thing, hit the button and watch for about 5 minutes
I work in robotics, but not humanoid. What is driving demand for humanoid robots? It feels like a gimmick to me.
China’s humanoid robot makers commanded more than 97% of global shipments in the first half of 2026, according to new industry data affirming the country’s early lead against US rivals in the burgeoning field.
Global humanoid robot shipments totaled roughly 19,100 units in the first half of 2026, more than triple the 5,100 units shipped in the same period last year, according to data from Smart Analytics Global. The California-based research firm expects shipments to rise to around 60,000 units this year and reach half a million by 2030
This is a summary. It was the only way I could find to bypass the paywall
Newly disclosed records reveal the US government extensively spied on prominent leftwing organizations and on protesters as part of a vast operation into groups opposing the immigration crackdown in Minnesota earlier this year.
Internal investigative reports show the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) sent undercover agents to community meetings in the Twin Cities and New York City, infiltrated Signal chats and obtained financial records of mainstream unions and left-leaning non-profit groups.
Nearly 30 internal law enforcement reports were released on Thursday as part of a criminal case the Department of Justice (DoJ) has filed against 15 Minneapolis protesters. The defendants are accused of a “conspiracy” to “impede” US immigration officers during the Trump administration’s surge in the region.
The DHS investigative reports were disclosed by the government and submitted to the court by an attorney for one of the defendants. The records show that in January, DHS launched an inquiry called “Operation Puppet Master” to identify a “network of conspirators” organizing against US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The operation came as community organizing against ICE was swelling in the region in response to the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti.
A DHS report from February said the agency was looking into people who were “providing material support to violent opportunists and agitators”. The records suggest agents launched elaborate spying efforts targeting activists, protesters and mainstream progressive organizations opposing the Trump administration’s immigration policies.
“I was shocked at the scope and the apparent lack of investigative discipline involved, but not totally surprised,” said Kevin Riach, an attorney for one of the indicted protesters, who filed the tranche of records in federal court.
DHS spokespeople did not respond to inquiries and the DoJ declined to comment.
There’s more there, but the formatting is stopping me from copying it all and it’s late…
People get pretty elitist when it comes to companies in this space. Proton has it’s faults, but it is light years better than google and is offering precisely what you want.
Its easy to sit high and criticize when your hosting everything yourself (I’m guilty of this too), but if you just need to move away from google, proton is vastly better and under one Eco system.
NextCloud was already called out. Its a viable option, but the photos from my self hosting experience suck. Once you get past a certain size, the library chokes on itself.
Idk if I had a nice GPU that wouldn’t be the case, so maybe a paid sub will work out just fine.
Same…like read the title and instantly was confused he’s not dead…
I thought like a modern day Andre dubus
I recently did this. It was very easy if you already use beets

Is this some sort of colorblind test, or can you normies barely read that text too?
