Home Alone is the Kidz Bop version of Die Hard.

I used to have a desktop espresso machine.

It made 4 shots at a time.

4 shots fit perfectly in one coffee cup.

For years, that was how I made my coffee.
How are you still alive!

“A 2017 study from the Journal of Food and Chemical Toxicology determined that up to 400 mg of caffeine per day was safe for most people. […] a single one-ounce shot of espresso contains 63 mg of caffeine. That means if you have much more than 6 shots, which total 378 mg”

A single one-ounce shot of espresso contains 63 mg of caffeine. That means if you have more than six shots, totaling 378 mg, you'll be over your 400 mg limit.

The Trump admin wants to embolden Patent Trolls. Why do they always back grifters instead of people who do actual work?

I am waiting for a case (the Miguel Martinez case Greg references up thread may be one) that establishes people have a right to flee illegal stops BECAUSE they know qualified immunity means no recompense in court. Fleeing is the only way to protect yourself when police act above the law.
Nominally yes, but the Supreme Court has created this bastard doctrine called qualified immunity, which makes it nearly impossible to sue police for violating your rights until an appeals court in the jurisdiction finds that the right was "clearly established" to exist

Weirdo foreigner question out of curiosity: If it's 1st Amendment protected in one state (NC), is it not in all states?

I had a high school AP teacher tell me that no one would ever pay me to write about video games. So I got a job (in high school) writing about video games and went from there. Spite can be a great motivator!

Was testing out some eSIMs and set up a brand new Google account on a formatted phone. With no history of any sort, the YouTube app home screen was blank. When I hit the search bar these were the default recommendations.

KPop Demon Hunters is more popular than Mr Beast according to this chart.

Plagiarism, AI, or just really poor reporting?

A @yahoofinance.com writer wrote an inaccurate news story because she didn't actually do any reporting work. Instead she rehashed the work of others. Journalists covering the story reported on the returned bees hours before Yahoo published this.

Chatted with some @digitaleclipse.bsky.social devs this week. "Mike's office" came up without prompting.

I think @borman.bsky.social is going to need to make an official trip to DE at some point just to index the office and treat it as a partner museum. 😁

Now I'm envisioning the GamePro 5.0 graphic, but instead of a 5.0 at the bottom it's the super excited face on the red background with the words HOLY SHIT! at the bottom. 😁

Spent an hour checking out Sektori tonight. As a twin stick fan and Geometry Wars lover, I think @gimblll.com might have designed this game just for me. Also, the soundtrack gives your subwoofer a nice workout. 😁

A reckoning is coming. The wheels of justice may turn slowly, but they do turn.
"He's gonna pay for those shots," Parente added re: Exum, noting the agent bragged about the shooting.

"They were not good shots. You will see, eventually, that that was a bad shoot, it was a violation of CBP's use of force policy, and he is going to pay for those shots" the attorney told press.
