Ugh, this breaks my heart. How can can someone be so evil?

Neat! An animal picture from Santa Cruz that isn't a butterfly, giant slug, or... You know... vampires.

And my mechanic is less pushy than any dentist I've ever visited. They always seem to pull up some image and point to it and say see that out of focus area? Your particular insurance covers that, so your teeth will fall out next week if we don't address it right now, and youll never get laid again, you'll fail out of school and get fired from your job and be homeless. Oh - wait. You're insurance doesn't cover that? Then they wipe the grease stain from the screen and say you'll be just fine.

It was those witches again. They cursed the national Mall to remain green until the unredacted Epstein files are released and the child rapists finally face justice.

I never knew they used municipal water in the past, I always thought it was always the Victorian style of tapping natural sources.

Was Jeremy Irons not available?

These are the words of a very weak and desperate man. Can you imagine Theodore Roosevelt ever saying something as humiliating as that?

IIRC it pulls from natural surface waters and may even be a flow through design. It’s not a closed system like a pool. So it will always be getting water from the Potomac or other local sources which are already heavily polluted, and algae and algae like life such as dinoflagellates will instantly bloom with very minor pollution, especially when competing biofilms on the bottom and sides were just removed. Also, I know marine algae is notoriously difficult to filter out by mechanical means, so I assume similar for aquatic. I think that unless it get turned into a closed loop chlorinated swimming pool, the “best” it will ever be is a natural looking reflecting pond for the ducks and geese - and I’m okay with that, I’ll bet the ducks and geese prefer it too.

Didn’t trump make himself the director of the Kennedy center board (by some strange magic that makes no sense to me). So I assume he’s directing the lawyers and not scheduling any shows that might bring attention to the fact that his name was removed and the usual K-Center artists still refuse to perform there because of him? If he can’t have his way is he ruining it for everyone? Maybe I’m wrong on a couple of points there.

I’ve been struggling with this shift too. Tech used to game changing ideas for people, now it’s sole purpose is a vehicle for corporate profits. Tech used to be an exciting Wild West of crazy new ideas and new ways to be creative or play or communicate and share with friends or do less work. Now consumer focused tech is just minor evolutions of current tech launched with billion dollar marketing campaigns, corporate traps to lock you into app addictions or various subscriptions to see stock price increase 0.1%. And I don’t see any light at the end of the tunnel.

Thank you for putting in the work. If your ever in my area I’ll buy you a coffee

Seems like Cotton knows the winds changing, and is trying to legislate that the weather vane be welded in place before it does.

And I once thought “who could be so unintelligent as to bankrupt a casino”, and it’s the same person who agreed to embarrass his nation by signing a reparations treaty in Versailles France. It’s as if his secretary of education doesn't have a thorough understanding of history, and the balls to speak up? At least it wasn’t in a train car I guess.

Jesus, you’re making a grown man cry over here. I’m so sorry for both of you.

Hypothetically, how much does AI cost per equivalent work by human? Lots of ways to calculate it I suppose if you include capital expenditures and bribing local officials and paying billionaires to market it.

Whoa! They look like a very long line of obviously bad decisions. Unwearable. Not even ironically ugly. Like a CEO designed it himself surrounded by a vacuum of yes men.

Hoping the same thing. But at the moment it seems sloppy and amateurish

Wait, the band singled out some dude in the crowd of Canadians for wearing a costume as wanting attention? The same band on an elevated stage being very loud and under spotlights? Did they feel threatened that they weren't the complete center of attention anymore?

Thank you for the comments letting me know the band was dropped from their tour. Live music is amazing and dying at the same time. It doesn't need wankers like these acts killing it faster.

American families are struggling, the millennial generation may never get to participate in the American dream, and THIS is what their President feels needs his attention?

University general chemistry introduced all these wonderful rules the universe followed and everything suddenly made sense and all was right with the world. Then organic chemistry spent class after class explaining how it was all BS and how every rule had so many exceptions that they weren't actually rules anymore, and the walks back from class were gloomy and sullen.
