This is wholesome AF. Worth the watch. 😊
In 2023 I became obsessed with videos of dads in cargo shortswaiting in parking lots during Taylor Swift's Eras Tour. So when she came to town, I grabbed a camera and headed down to talk to them. I thought it'd be funny. It turned out to be something else entirely.

Do we have a shot of the Gerald Ford plaque from the White House? Wonder what it says about this. 😂
"a president that maybe wasn't watching" would have been Gerald Ford, because Venezuela's nationalization of its oil industry happened in 1976
Trump on Venezuela: "Getting land, oil rights, whatever we had -- they took it away because we had a president that maybe wasn't watching. But they're not gonna do that. We want it back. They took our oil rights. We had a lot of oil there. They threw our companies out. And we want it back."

Welp. Saw @ed3d.net roasting people for their skills issues regarding the Jira MCP server and my very first pretty basic ask quickly showed how powerful that can be!

Similarly. Was looking for an appliance repair company. Came across one that referred the region the service as ‘the Valley’ when it very much isn’t and their about page uses VERY obvious genAI. Hard pass on that for sure.
I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.

There was a few months post iOS update where AirPrint refused to work and I wanted to Office Space the thing, but it’s been fine for a while now.
Soooo much less annoying than going to print and finding out your barely used ink cartridge is all dried up causing it to refuse to print. 😡

Was going to go with the brother but scanning was a nice feature and got a Canon instead. It’s been decent and the fact that some of its software feels like it’s just pared down enterprise stuff, usually means you can tweak all sorts of stuff if you’re insane like me. Otherwise it mostly just works!

It would have been significantly larger had my paternal grandmother not similarly disowned my mother and father.

My family was teeny tiny before my parents disowned me. My kids know all of my good friends as their aunts and uncles.
And, to your point, growing up there was always a couple at family parties who were aunt and uncle. Wasn’t until I was an adult when I learned they were just friends of the family.

I once did literal magic (card) for a bartender and ended up hanging out drinking for free with a small group of people for an hour after they closed.
Came up organically, I wasn’t trying to be sneaky. 😂

You know how you could trick me, a bartender, into giving you a free drink? Not being a sociopath. I gave free drinks to nice people every shift, man.
Cool how one of the most prevalent tech stories now is “here’s how to be a creep and/or convincing fraud.”

Really reminds me of the time I dipped my toe into some audiophile sub-Reddit’s when researching turn tables. Learned what I needed and had to get the hell out of there. 😂
Ooof. No lies detected here, though. They also picked up on the crossover with home automation as well.
Two absolutely nuts sub-reddits and yet I have two mini-pcs running Proxmox and a Pi on a shelf bridging together my ‘smart’ devices.
Amazing! No notes. 😂 😭

Same, Coach. I’m less aware on the highway but as a cyclist with an elevated vantage point, it’s quite easy to see what drivers are and are not paying attention to as they whiz by.
So much lost city revenue not spent just sending out bike patrols to ticket as they travel the bike lanes.

This is my personal leafblowers hate. When I'm on the freeway in Los Angeles, which often has 8 fucking lanes, at least 75% of the other drivers are texting away and not even looking at the road at all. Fucking insanity.
A bit ago, I passed 7 cars on the freeway. Every single one was on their phone.

BREAKING: Son of the most powerful man on the planet who's name is on dozens of golf courses and buildings and shakes down every institution for payoffs and bribes is rich. HOW DID HE DO IT
Trump’s youngest son taught his dad a thing or two about crypto. Now the NYU sophomore is making a fortune before he even turns 20.

Something he's never going to do again.
John Fetterman still favors a clean CR: “I refuse to shut our government down, and that’s not gonna change.”
“I would absolutely like to extend the ACA credits,” he says, but not at risk of a gov’t shutdown.
His advice to Democrats who want to change policy: “Win elections.”

Had this happen outside a Taco Bell. With a child strapped to my chest. The chicken bone didn’t come from the Taco Bell, of course, but they offered some napkins when I walked up to the drive through window with a dripping wet hand. 😊
Have you ever found yourself lamenting, "Wow, I wish I could just be wresting away control of a half-eaten fried chicken bone that was just on the sidewalk!"? If so, then dog ownership is for you!

Live in a city/state with free pre-k. With breakfast/lunch/snack provided. Hard not to view people who oppose both as pretty monstrous.
There’s no need to fret over who can afford it, just feed all the kids so they can focus on learning and being decent humans. 😊

I don't know even what to say about the beauty of a simple free breakfast in lunch for all.
My kid gets to kindergarten, and the teacher says, "OK, who's hungry?"
Great for every kid in the room, especially those whose parents could afford it anyway. Every kid has fuel. Who wouldn't want that?

Free school lunches help kids succeed and families save money, but Matt Hall and his far-right caucus want to end the program. Gretchen Whitmer and Democrats are fighting for our kids and families. wwmt.com/news/local/g...

This. Remember going to donate blood that week and I’m not sure you could have felt more solidarity with complete strangers that day.
Thing is NYC was at its best that day real ass people on the same team trying to survive everyone was so proud to be American that day and then Congress and Bush used that sense of togetherness to wage war on people who weren't responsible for it and it led to this stuff today and, well, shit.

Up there ‘trauma’ wise with being dropped off at CCD when there wasn’t even class and then having to wait around until mom could round trip, pre cell phone, and come back.
I hated CCD generally but being left on a day I wasn’t even supposed to be there‽ 😑

Grew up not far from there as well. Vividly remember being in line at a grocery store and a friend’s mom telling my mom about some day long thing at Great Lakes for school kids.
I remember learning how to march and got to see an inside a ship?
It wasn’t fun. Just a way to push the Navy on kids. 🤷

Yes, sort of -- or a not-update. The British do not capitalize acronyms (initialisms that can be pronounced). Ergo, e.g., they refer to US Immigration and Customs Enforcement as Ice, not ICE, but Customs and Border Patrol would still be CBP.

I voted for Kamala, obvi. 😂
I suspect my parents don’t think they cut me off, they just told me they couldn’t celebrate my wedding because I was planning on taking my wife’s name.
They voted for, and still fully support, politicians that are detrimental to my kids wellbeing. I definitely cut them off.

Didn’t know him in the Jade Helm days, but an in law recently claimed that it’s great DC is occupied and, given the recent streak of no deaths, it’s statistically likely a few people are alive as a result.
Not a fucking chance this dude would be all about Obama or Biden occupying cities like this.

In 2015, Alex Jones spent a year spinning paranoid stories of US troops planning to enact martial law, assist a Chinese invasion, and execute dissenters in "death domes."
In 2025, troops are in the streets, and Alex Jones couldn't be happier.

Jade Helm 15, Ten Years Later

Libs don’t want to admit it but US cities genuinely are scary places these days. Recently I was walking along minding my own business when a gang of youths roasted me by yelling hey Mr. Clean! Fortunately I escaped.

I made the mistake of reading a bit of this thread and I regret it; too many flashbacks of struggling through college Calc 1 and 2 (the latter twice…). 🤢
i'm also working on teaching myself calculus via textbooks right now and am always interested in further suggestions
is Khan Academy the best place for a grown up (me) to start learning calculus (and probably having to back track to dependencies because oh god my math education kinda stopped with algebra)
