The line “Disney regrets that it has come to this” may be the single most terrifying line ever committed to a press release.

Retro Electro here we come😎

1948 Chrysler New Yorker barn find, complete with suicide doors, in (nearly) immaculate shape.

We’re gutting the straight-8, swapping in a dual-motor electric drivetrain and lithium battery bank, upgrading the steering and suspension, and restoring all the details.

Losing Tucker Carlson is a huge loss for the nation. And by "the nation," I mean Putin's Russia.

Read an article today about why Americans think alcohol has health benefits and it's apparently another "well the French are healthy and they do X so it's healthy to do X."

So here's your periodic reminder that France (and Italy, and Sweden, and Japan, and basically every country you've seen in a "this country is so healthy, what's their secret?" headline) has universal health care.

The secret is access to health care. It's always access to health care.

DO NOT TAKE HOME THE FREE 1U SERVER, YOU DO NOT WANT THAT ANYWHERE. A CLOSET DOOR WILL NOT STOP ITS BANSHEE WAIL TO THE DREAD KING, AN UNHOLY CONDUIT TO DEPTHS OF INSOMNIA BINDING DARKNESS TO EVEN THE DAY

THE EMBRACE OF SLEEP WILL NEVER AGAIN VISIT YOUR MIND; SANITY WILL BE FORGOTTEN LIKE THE FROSTY WHISPS OF AIR ESCAPING A FREEZER DOOR AT NIGHT, ILLUMINATED BY ONLY A FAILING LIGHT INSIDE. THEIR ETHEREAL SCREAMS SUBLIMATING INTO AND DISPLACING THE CLIMATE OF TOES.

AT THE END, I COULD NO LONGER DISTINGUISH BETWEEN SCREAMS OF THE 1U SERVER AND MY OWN. SOON IT WOULD NOT MATTER, FOR WE BECAME THE SAME. A MINDLESS COLLECTION OF MATTER ABANDONED IN THE HOWLING DARK.

@Teri_Kanefield The only problem with them coming here is that I’m not sure there are people here who would shout at them thinking they are the actual Supreme Court and that was my favorite part.

Serious Trouble episode (with a re-recorded section after settlement) about Dominion dropping today. We didn’t talk about:
* No trial result would have had the judge ordering Fox to apologize on air
*No trial result would have resulted in Fox being punished for damage to democracy
*. No trial result could have ”established facts” as true or false for all purposes in America
If your expectations for the legal system are not reality-based you’re going to be consistently disappointed.

I keep thinking about how we programmers tend to mistake arrogance for confidence.

Arrogance leads to poor decision-making due to a lack of curiosity. Not exploring a technical space.

Confidence is leveraging curiosity, knowing you’ll weigh tradeoffs appropriately.

Who do you want to be invaded, conquered, and ruled by:

I mean I've gotten more confident in the course of my career but I am not as confident as some of these attorneys who appear in court by video dressed like they're working on a shrimp boat or waking up from a three-day binge

Some password advice from an infosec professional:

Good password hygiene means choosing a password that is hard to guess.

One that's hard to type. Hard to remember. Hard to think about. Hard to LOOK at.

A password that makes you feel disoriented, uncomfortable.

In short, your password should be a Cthulhu.

Every pro-AI example on Twitter is like:

Still not convinced on AI? I spent less than an hour knocking together this rube Goldberg contraption that produces lies and terrible inaccurate results. Jobs that can be replaced by garbage generators are consigned to the dustbin of history!
