since randoms are stalking my feed, I'll go ahead and say it:
trans rights are human rights, as are the rest of the LGBQ population. Gavin Newsom can eat a dick if he continues to throw trans kids under the bus. As can JK Rowling and any other transphobe. idgaf
When I'm making big tables and #lazysusans I have my #cncmachine making games and puzzles.

you can order any of these in time from #Christmas www.twooaksdesign.com or from my Etsy.

Cuban getting totally cooked in the replies for this one. Proving once again, billionaires aren't actually smarter than everyone else, just lucky. Right place, right time. Or had amazing connections.
For all Universal HC/Single Payer/M4A advocates.

What do the biggest, expensive hospital chains do. Do they opt out and only serve the rich ?

Who in the USA gov runs the program?

R U ok with having to see a primary care doc before you can see a specialist ?

Seen a lot of replies like I would love to quit tech and do X, but it pays so little. And I have to ask what does that say about us that, physical, tangible things made with skills in the real world are so devalued compared to making 1s and 0s in the digital world that pays very well?
Double aside: which trade would you align with if you didn't have a cushy tech job is a great question!

Electrician/networking is too obvious so I disallow that.

I'd either do drywall or framing.

Roofing is out. Not because of fall risk, but because it is so hot up there! Did once. Never again.🙅🏿‍♂️

This is the result of what happens when developers have never heard the phrase "were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should"
And its also the result when senior leadership has no ethics.
Instacart got caught running real-time price experiments on shoppers — same groceries, different prices.

Workers know this game well: Instacart’s algorithm does the same thing to their pay.

Oh I have all the smoke for racist ass white people.

Nice job turning off replies so I cant respond directly to you.
If only white folks had this kind of energy for other white people.

But here we are.
You shut the fuck up. I've been hearing texas was going to turn blue any year now.

I live here, its not turning blue. All those "Californians moving to Texas" aren't democrats, they're Republicans.

Nevermind the voter disenfranchisement that Texas does. And on top of that, she's a Black Woman.

Exhibit A on people completely missing blatantly obvious themes in Movies and TV shows.
Like police officers with the Punisher symbol.
Or missing how Xmen was allegory for minorities and LGBQT+ people.
If you are providing me with an education that is low utility in the world then it’s a disservice. My composition class spent four weeks on poetry. I’m sorry, but that only would’ve been useful if I wanted to be a poet. I don’t need to know iambic pentameter in order to be a victim advocate.

That one side holds themselves to a higher standard. And the other doesn't give a shit. And they'll continue to not give a shit until there are actual repercussions like jail time or physical threat to their persons.

Who said #lazysusans had to be round?

On the left is Bolviian Rosewood, made from off cuts of larger lazy susan orders I've had.
On the right is Pecan wood with epoxy river through it.

So, your problem is that you assume "voters" means exactly that.

One side doesn't just have voters, they have members of a cult, that vote. And they frankly dont give a fuck about anything other than themselves.
We keep hearing how many GOP electeds don’t approve of a lot of what felon is doing but that they’re too scared to say anything. Voters have got to start electing people with a proven record of having a spine. Across the board. No spine, no vote.

I am thrilled at how this one turned out. I need to take some product shots, but wanted to show it off as is.

If you like this, I have more beautiful slabs from this log and im doing 20% off this week on dining tables.

All totally worth it so some people could feel morally superior about not voting cause reasons.
Between tearing babies from their parents' arms and traumatizing countless children, abandoning climate action and environmental protection, and loosing RFK on public health, the Trump Administration is engaging in quite a bit of child sacrifice. To their right-mania goals.
Vance loves to deploy fabricated racist fearmongering. First Haitians are eating the pets, now Indigenous people sacrificed children?! Sheesh.

Wow a complete and totally moronic post. Creating some technology, does not make an expert in some other technology.
Wow 80% bad-faith responses, and people lecturing the creator of Flask here and the creator of Django/datasette in the comments on why AI is useless for software engineering...
Is this platform still massively against AI or has it moved more towards acceptance?

Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

Seeing #WeAintBuyingIt all over my timeline. More often than not I see people are more talk than act with #ShopSmall

But I am running 20% off dinning sets this week. I also make #LazySusans and #Phase10 scorecard and boxes, both make excellent gifts. Www.twooaksdesign.com

why are you still on facebook, if this is how you respond to a small business ad that facebook targeted at you?

I'm sure the HIPAA violation fines will be more than offset by how awesome AI is.
Physician who was no longer at the hospital but was on the email list had Otter ai installed and his bot “attended” the meeting, generated a transcript, and sent it to all 65 people on the email list, 12 of whom also no longer worked at the hospital.
AI bot recorded doctors’ meeting, sent patient info to current and former hospital staff, watchdog says
The transcription tool recorded the meeting on behalf of a physician who no longer worked at the hospital

You'll never guess where this 3 layers of quote posts drill down to.
In Steubenville, fresh snow on the ground would turn gray after a few hours. The nuns who wore black and white had to launder their white habits twice as often or they turned gray as well.
Literally just lectured about this!

In the late 1960s, air quality was so bad in several cities they had to turn on the street lights during the day so drivers could see. And yeah, the Cuyahoga River was so polluted it literally caught on fire.

I would really like someone to pinpoint the exact time when journalists went from " im going to take down the goddamn president of the USA" to "I will carry water for every conservative politician and be their PR department."
These articles always depend on a bizarre Schroedinger's Seattle: The city is falling apart due to progressive overreach but we should have re-elected the conservative non-socialist who has been in charge for the last four years.
