You have to be credulous and in a news bubble that tells you he's only doing good things. Either that or you need to be completely disconnected from the news; I think many are.

It's kind of funny until you think about what happens when they bite into it. That will become a very spicy clam. I hope someone notified the staff while everyone else watched.

He's got plenty of cronies who can cause chaos while he golfs.

What would make me want to switch to this from GitHub Actions or GitLab-CI? Both are far from perfect. If given a good solution that requires less work to build and maintain, I'd switch. So far all CI/CD solutions that I've used are painful. They're critical for my work but I always dread wirting/fixing my pipelines/workflows.

I wonder, how many countries rely on the recommendations of the FDA to determine which vaccine strains to put in their vaccines for the year. Does Canada?

That's interesting. The vast majority, about 83%, of their shareholders are large institutional shareholders like Vanguard and JP Morgan Chase. Would those be who voted in this?

I'd guess it is an actual tattoo given that the hair is shaved in the region and there is longer hair on the right side of the photo.

What makes you think the source image was AI generated? The lack of symmetry?

He also probably thinks that he is going to get a cushy job for his sacrifice. Hopefully Trump refuses to pay in the end, like normal, and this guy speaks out after getting screwed.

What is the point in censoring the word "rapist" here? The word is intended to have an impact. It is supposed to point out that this man should be nowhere near power.

What part of the plate has lead? The plate itself or the paint?

I can't imagine this is a legal way to get rid of federal employees. Hell, I doubt this is a legal way to get rid of ANY employees.

My little guy can't say "blueberries". They're "boobies"! It's amazing.

I'm a white guy from a fairly non-diverse city. I was at a grocery store today where a cashier opened up their line to serve me and, I thought, the person behind me. As they were serving me, though, they put up their lane closed sign right in front of the black man behind me. The buy was just trying to purchase some tuna, bread, and peanut butter.

The cashier basically decided to serve me, a middle class white man, but refused to serve the black man behind me. I was so shocked that I didn't say anything. It is possible that I misunderstood the situation but it seemed so blatant.

What should I have done in this situation? Should I have spoken up? Would that have just been more embarrassing for the man who was being discriminated against?

Honestly, I'm still just in shock to see someone treated so poorly when they were simply trying to buy food for themselves. I recognize that means that I'm sheltered but I also feel like I should be able to use my unearned privilege to help others who are being discriminated against.

 

 

 

I keep running into issues where I'm unsure of which account I'm currently using. It would be nice if it were more obvious at all times. Two things that would help me are:

  • always display the current user somewhere, regardless of what content is being viewed.
  • allow setting different color themes for different users.
 
 

I use Podcast Addict and have recently noticed location-based ads in my podcasts. Adds that are local to my large town / small city. The app doesn't have location permissions, so how are the podcasts embedding localized ads?

 

They decided to give a show today. Six of them were hanging out on the dock, but when I stopped to take pictures, they all decided to take off and do circles over the lake.

I got lucky and this guy posed for me for about five minutes. I tried to get some in flight, but they're simply too fast for me!

This beautiful bird has been hanging out at our local lake for the last several weeks. I've been trying to get some pictures of him and he finally got close enough for my lenses.

Three or four of these guys have been hanging out in the lake near my house.
