One of the sequelae to covid is MCAS, and one of the big symptoms of that is acquiring exciting new allergic reactions to random things.
You can suddenly behave allergic to deodorant, soap, wheat, chocolate, garlic, milk, cheese (and anything what contains histamines, such as leftovers), etc.

When the bubble bursts, the world will quickly move away from USD as a reserve currency.
When USD is no longer the reserve currency, all that 'quantitative easing' the fed was able to leverage to soften the impact of the 2k8 mortgage-securities-fraud-that-no-one-was-punished-for won't be possible.

Trump, continued: "What the Somalian people have done to Minnesota is not even believable. It’s not even believable. And a lot of it starts with the governor. A lot of it starts with Barack HUSSEIN Obama, because that’s when people started coming in... They want to kiss our country good night."

Pushing back on the idea that the point is to feel smug.
It's to feel pride in the active stewardship of your neighborhood.
Minnesotans may have toxic traits. Some may even act smugly about doing this, which I don't condone.
But these kinda things are good acts of preparedness & community care. 💛

If you wanna be a good neighbor and get extra Minnesota Nice points*, it is a fantastic time to check the storm drains on your street to make sure they’re not clogged with leaves before The backed-up water freezes.

DOGE is ending 8 months early. It will have cost us $135B to rehire workers, $21.7B in waste, a potential loss of more than $500B billion in tax revenue over 10 years & a loss of $10B in economic activity with the loss of programs that previously returned billions to taxpayers.

For years devs have carefully maintained license info for all OSS code we’ve incorporated into our apps so we can follow requirements and provide necessary attribution, but sure just puree all of GitHub into an AI slurry and shovel it in unlabeled.

It's amazing that any programmer would look at the "take an icepick to the parts of your brain that you use to program" machine and think this is a good idea.
It indicates they are already utterly fucking up at being programmers, even before they touch the bullshit machine.
