The super expensive #Apple Watch I bought was still in the return window so I packed it up. I’m not going to make payments on it for a year thinking about how they donated to destroy the White House every time I look at it.
I’ve had enough.

Welp, time to start buying #Apple products used, and look to alternatives for the next phone. I didn't ask them to use my money to trash the White House.

Watching ICE cosplay as military has got to be embarrassing for veterans. It looks like we provide zero training and the leadership is completely made of boobs. No wonder we lost Vietnam and couldn't find bin Laden.

🍃 🪂 🧪 Parachute Design Using the Art of Kirigami
"Unlike conventional parachutes that require a gliding angle for vertical stability and fall at random far from a target, our kirigami-inspired parachutes always fall near the target"
"Unlike conventional parachutes that require a gliding angle for vertical stability and fall at random far from a target, our kirigami-inspired parachutes always fall near the target"
A paper in Nature shows that parachute designs inspired by kirigami — the Japanese art of paper cutting to produce 3D designs — are stable and fall close to their target. These findings could simplify parachute manufacturing, reduce costs, and improve accuracy. go.nature.com/473OMmK 🧪
