Whatever happened to "move fast and break things" being about "don't be afraid that things will break on your way to the goal."
Now it appears to be "break things on purpose, maybe the answer will come to us while we're trying to fix it."
Or "who cares if we broke it, we're still getting money."

This is the most amazingly terrible song I have ever heard.
People, don't make anything with AI, but especially don't make music with AI. Holy fuck.

Oh my GOD. The song that Rudy Giuliani used in his anti-Zohran post is fucking AI-generated.
It's a song called "September 11, 2001" and it's from some AI slop factory called The Experience. You need to hear how bad this song is.

Trying to put together a food box for 2 people for a few weeks that also includes stuff to make Thanksgiving dinner (neither of them can handle the chaos that goes with big family dinners). I'm also trying to not spend TOO much because I have to feed us, too.
Any suggestions?

Looks like I need to box up some food for my large adult son. He and his girlfriend are both disabled (he's working as much as possible).
Still no SNAP.
At least he has relatives that can step in for him. What about the people who don't?

Waiting for a very delayed flight to Atlanta & the pilot (Scott!) has become everyone's best friend, hanging out amongst the people. He's let us know that Atlanta is only allowing 30 flights an hour, when it's usually 120.
Obviously frustrating but also enjoying how much Scott is relishing this.

Reading this post and the quoted post and the replies, and wondering to myself, "Are neurodivergent people over represented on social media, or is that just the circle of people I follow?"
Because seriously, you are my people. 🤭
Also great thread if you haven't read it yet.

God, a thousand times this.
That's the thing with dopamine being tied to task initiation - there's a set of gears that won't - CAN'T - engage in my brain, but none of my problems are with analysis.
I can be fully aware of all the necessary steps, and stressing about starting, and just... not.

Well, I got one of these. Apparently buying a cat feeder (that does what I want) that's not internet connected is a bit of a challenge.
The other ones I found were just a variation of the one I already have. /sigh

I have a question for anyone who can help:
I have an automatic cat feeder I got on Amazon about 5 years ago. It takes a PhD to be able to set feeding times. It's also become unreliable.
I'm looking for a feeder that's easy to set up and doesn't require an internet connection.
Any suggestions?

Never mind the hilarity of printing out paper with "The Oval Office" in gold so Trump knows where he is.
What I want to know is how many of those damn ugly-ass medallions did they buy from Home Depot? All of them?

Yes, this is a great way to make the troops happy. I'm sure they won't mind at all.
NEW: The US Army website for its bases in Bavaria, Germany told its soldiers and employees that it might need to obtain free food from the German government during the US government shutdown.
The Army later altered publication to remove a list of food banks, but we have the original text here:

Oh no, someone might just be strolling by and not realize it's the Oval Office. Better label it in big gold letters.

Good news from my super conservative area... we flipped two of the three seats on the school board. They won by significant margins, too.
Local politics matter a lot, and this is HUGE in my area.

My local City Market will regularly have pork loin on sale for $1.99 a pound. I stock up on these when they're on sale, one time I had 7 of them in my freezer.
Put one in the crockpot and pour a jar of salsa over them. Add your preferred spices (my basic is at least salt/pepper/garlic powder)
