It still most likely is the lowest grade stuff, just with bits of leftover Wagyu tossed in just so they can call it Wagyu chili.

Remember a few years ago when people died after a snow storm in Texas because lawmakers largely ignored recommendations to winterize their shitty private power grid? Hold these people accountable.

“This is why the criticism doesn’t matter to us when you call us Nazis. ‘Nazi this and Nazi that.’ You know, I’m beginning to think they don’t like us. You know what? I’ve said this before. We need to learn from the Blacks, the way they were able to remove the power from the n-word by using it. So, from now on, it’s, ‘What up, my Nazi? Hey, what up, my Nazi? Hey, what’s hanging, my Nazi?’”

Some incredible self-awareness there.

When we were looking a few years ago, the only thing under $250k was a house built in 1897 that shared the property line with a hoarder shed that had a family of raccoons going in and out while we were looking at it in the middle of the day.

It’s either that, the $500 fixer-upper, or the $800k new construction. And I’m in the Midwest, not even in a high COL area.

If he’s active duty Army, try firstnamelastname@usa.army.mil firstname.lastname@usa.army.mil. if it’s a somewhat common name try adding .1 after the name and incrementing up if necessary.

As a General, he’s likely in charge of some really big organization, like a whole military base or CCMD (combatant command). Try looking through the emails you get to see if you can find some context for where he might work, then search for an about page or contact page on the public web. You won’t get him directly but someone who knows how to route the information up to him.

That’s got to be it. Cloud compute is expensive when you’re not being funded in Azure credits. One the dust settles from the AI bubble bursting, most of the AI we’ll see will probably be specialized agents running small models locally.

More like, how did they go that long without finding out?

Just call it raw and they’ll be into it

This meme predates Facebook by at least a decade.

Mine said I was 0.2% Mongolian so now I endearingly tell stories of my Grandpa Khan.

Don’t forget Kid Rock was there for some reason

It gave us a little peace of mind when our autistic child was a toddler. He had just started eloping and he was very fast and very sneaky. Holding his hand wasn’t always feasible and we wanted to encourage some freedom and independence so a backpack with a tether was a good option, especially in crowded areas. He was free to explore something if it interested him but the gentle tug gave him enough physical feedback to understand that he needed to stay close to us. Now that he’s older we can just verbally remind him to stay close if he starts wandering off.

I’ve heard something along the lines of, “it’s not when computers can pass the Turing Test, it’s when they start failing it on purpose that’s the real problem.”

If only LAPD would pull a Rodney King on ICE.

Even goods that aren’t directly tariffed are still affected by tariffs. If you planned to buy a new washing machine, but now they’re too expensive because of a tarrif, then maybe you buy a microwave instead.

What? If I need a new washing machine, I’m either buying a new washing machine or doing laundry in the bathtub. I’m not going to decide to buy a second microwave for clothes when the microwave i already have is perfectly functional…for food.

The type of market you’re describing, where the buyer and the seller both have a say in determining prices, only happens in small, locally focused markets. The type of market that’s being undercut and eventually replaced outright by Wal-Mart and other big box corporate stores (with our tax dollars,by the way!) that absolutely don’t give a fuck what the buyer wants to pay, because they have enough people that are complacent, desperate, fatigued, or out-of-touch enough to pay whatever they charge. If they can point to something tangible as an external cause of higher prices, they’ll absolutely do it. We saw it happen with COVID, wage increases, tax proposals, and all sorts of other shit.

A “free market” that doesn’t include freedom for the consumer isn’t a free market at all.

Right wing crunchy fash

Oh no

The point of the jungle is that it sticks around after you leave, lingering in your subconscious, always on standby for the next time you need some landscaping tools at a fraction of the price of those other guys.

Sports is used as a revenue generator at all levels of government. Look how much taxpayer money is spent to build stadiums/arenas/etc. for the sake of the “local economy.” Not to mention all the money spent on advertising and sponsorship.

All of which, of course, has nothing to do with lawmakers’ arbitrary decisions on whether or not trans athletes should exist. Just wanted to point out how much the government is already involved in sports.
