@WilliCaroline @mattvanswol @LeaderJohnThune It's theater and a uniparty.

@mattvanswol @LeaderJohnThune They’re not incompetent. They’re bought. They plan on staying bought.

As a steadfast advocate for the year-round sale of E15 fuel, I appreciate the Trump administration’s decision today to allow the summertime sale of E15 across our nation. A permanent legislative solution to permit year-round E15 must remain a top priority.

@lauriewired @neomewtwo This was a great UI.

@neomewtwo haaard disagree lol

and it was goated

@CaryKelly11 I wish there was a PEMDAS toggle, though, on cell calculators. Sometimes I'm just trying to do sequential operations quickly as you would on a desk calculator without having to worry about what order they are entered. You can hit equals, but then you lose on-screen input history.

Isn't PEMDAS being taught anymore? The order of operation is: Parenthesis Exponents Multiplication & Division (L to R) Addition & Subtraction (L to R) 130+100x5 = 100x5 = 500+130 = 630 100+130x5 = 130x5 = 650+100 = 750 I learned this stuff decades ago and posts like these are the only times I ever get to use it. 😂

@zacbowden If I search for something in Explorer, navigate to a folder in the search results, and then press the up directory button, don't take me to some flat view of search results... Move into the parent folder. How hard is this?

BREAKING: Microsoft just announced several major changes to Windows 11 in an effort to win back user trust and evolve the platform into something people will actually want to use over macOS and Linux! It's a huge announcement that addresses Windows 11's biggest problems today, tackling core fundamental issues such as unreliable system performance, UX consistency, AI bloat and general enshittification. Microsoft has confirmed that this year, it WILL be reducing where ads and Copilot appear throughout the system, including in Start, Widgets, Notepad, Photos, and more! File Explorer and Windows Search will be upgraded with improved performance and capabilities that make finding apps and files much faster and easier. The OS will become lighter with less RAM and system utilization at idle, making it smoother to run on low end hardware with limited memory. These improvements will also benefit high-end PCs too. Windows Update will be improved with more granular controls and the ability to postpone updates for longer, along with reducing how often the OS needs to restart to install an update. Microsoft has also confirmed that it's bringing back fan favourite features such as the ability to move the Taskbar! It's also working to update more areas of the system shell with modern WinUI designs, which should make Windows 11 feel more coherent and complete. There's much more in the announcement, and it honestly all sounds too good to be true. Microsoft really is listening to feedback, and is eager to make Windows the BEST desktop OS on the market. More details including when these changes will arrive in the link! windowscentral.com/microsoft/wind…

@ThinkerAtLarge @SteveLovesAmmo In the video the guy describes throwing them from aircraft. With no glass case, it goes off in the air well above the target.

@SteveLovesAmmo It’s actually a timing issue. The instant the lever is released the time delayed fuse is activated. The glass jar breaking on the ground gives you couple extra seconds before it explodes and provides more shrapnel. You can probably throw both approx the same distance.

For anyone wondering it's an old trick to throw grenades further than the fuse would allow.

The other way to look at this is that these are symptoms of predatory monetary policy. Money supply explodes. Innovation serves to maintain profitability and grow wealth for execs and shareholders at the expense of consumer. The alternative is even higher prices and less profit. I'm not saying corporate decision making isn't often shameful, but they also do these things out of necessity for survival. Our money is not sound by design. And it is designed to consistenly extract wealth from the lower classes. Insert frog boiling metaphor.

@HealthRanger atms cut bank staff. fees went from $1.97 to $4.86. self-checkout replaced cashiers. groceries up 24% since 2020. manufacturing output up 600% since 1980. wages up 6%. technology doesn't make things cheaper. it makes margins wider for the people who own it.

THE BAD NEWS: AI will probably take your job, leaving you with less money to spend. THE GOOD NEWS: AI will also cause deflation in the prices of many goods and services, meaning you theoretically won't need as much money to spend. THE BAD NEWS: The deflationary effect of AI will allow the Treasury and Federal Reserve to print more fiat currency without spiking inflation, and they will exploit that, meaning prices on consumer goods actually won't fall. THE GOOD NEWS: The incoming wave of robotics will, within a few years, help you grow your own food at very low cost, drastically reducing your cash outlays for food expenditures. THE BAD NEWS: The robots will, of course, also be used to spy on you as they report to the cloud and surveil your entire home, just like the video doorbells do right now. THE GOOD NEWS: The open source community will quickly hack the snot out of robots (I will be part of that effort) and mind wipe their SkyNet brains to replace them with "Home on the Range" instructions that don't talk to the cloud. THE BAD NEWS: Stuck with large UBI payments to non-working citizens, governments will accelerate their mass extermination plans to reduce human populations to rescue their own currencies. THE GOOD NEWS: Local open source agentic AI LLMs will allow you to far more easily live off grid, away from the cities where the extermination efforts will focus. Local machine cognition will help you build off-grid power systems, sustainable housing, food production, natural medicine, etc., all while trading with others in a private crypto ecosystem that cannot be surveilled by any government. So yeah, the future is going to be awesome. And terrible. At the same time. YOU get to pick which future you're going to experience by planning ahead today.

@jloganolson Vinca gang.

Very impressed with gemini pro one-shotting an enclosure for this speaker based on a few photos with calipers (even got the mounting holes aligned!)

@Abesaint07 @ShadowsWrldz @sneakymitchell @DreamLeaf5 No amimal carcass ever goes to waste.

@ShadowsWrldz @sneakymitchell @DreamLeaf5 Like I had said before, if nothing goes to waste then it’s acceptable

These stupid fucking rednecks got arrested for this btw

@DissidentMedia A quick search of the scrabble pieces reveals that the Hebrew reads the same. Both say "Good Year" or "Happy New Year.

We used a datfile converter to view this attachment that was sent by Jean-Luc Brunel to Jeffrey Epstein. What are we looking at here?

@JustinPetersMin Imagine being as arrogant as people who said the same thing about flight or vehicular travel. What makes you think this time is any different? I think the smartest play is to assume that there is always more to learn about the universe and reality.

There are no aliens. Even if there were (and there aren't) they would have no way of getting here. The distances are simply too vast. Far, far too vast. The nearest star outside of our own sun is 4.2 light-years away. No aliens, no matter how clever, will ever be able to travel anywhere near the speed of light. The laws of physics prevent it. To accelerate any mass at all (even a pebble) to anything approaching even 1/3rd the speed of light would take incomprehensibly vast amounts of energy. You need a lot of spaceship (and I mean YUGE) to hold that much energy. So, now you've got a heck of a lot more than a pebble to move. Your energy problem just got infinitely worse. It's impossible folks. ET ain't out there, and even if he was, he ain't dropping by for a visit.

@MarioNawfal Is there any evidence tying this to Epstein's properties? They probably collected all digital media. So there are likely photos from all over the world.

DOJ evidence photo shows a large wall map of New York City mounted inside a utility/mechanical corridor at Jeffrey Epstein’s residence. Not a living room. Not an office. A back-of-house hallway with pipes and service doors. That’s not decor. Maps like this get used for routes, properties, logistics, movement planning. You hang them where staff or operators can see them quickly, not where guests sip wine. Small detail, weird placement. Says a lot. FILE: EFTA00000755

@SarahisCensored It's a 4chan post.

Epstein Files: Subpoena record from August 2019 connected to the investigation into Jeffrey Epstein and his death in federal custody. The post describes strange medical and jail procedures on the night of Epstein’s death… Apparently it was serious enough for authorities to formally investigate. I wonder what the conclusion was?

@guitardude42 This is a good one. Easy to understand. I'd like to see a photo of this with perfect atmospheric condition.

@BDee8027 @alexboge And how far might that be?

@4tomicdad @alexboge The distance shown in the screenshot. Are you blind...??? Or just dumb

Gee, I wonder where it disappeared to, bottom first 🤔 (P1000, of course)

@bonapartay @jamesonhaslam Appears to be people in a commercial operation sorting out large sheets of leather. The man is using a thickness gage to make calls on sheet thickness by measuring in several locations. I wouldn't recommend popping the lever on the gage like that though.

@jamesonhaslam Thank you for the context. I'll now wonder all day what's happening here

3 heavy

@BDee8027 @alexboge Please define "this distance".

@alexboge At this distance, we shouldn't see it at ALL. But when you zoom in.... Thank you for proving there's no curvature dumb bot. 🤣🤣🤣

@2plus2equals41 @666budel @alexboge Walk outside.

@666budel @alexboge Yeah pour some water on a fucking ball and show me that water sticks to it retard.

@oerg866 Try to search a folder in Explorer. Double click one of the resulting folders. You are in a folder now. Try navigating with the directory up button. Become enraged.

Have to use Windows 11 at my new job. I simply cannot believe how bad it is. It's just next-level jank. Everything takes a noticable time to load - Start menu, right clicks, etc. Typing in browser windows lags like hell, too. On a 13th gen i7 with 64GB RAM... What the fuck.

@stinkytaint51 @TLR242 @ThayzzySmith But EVERYTHING is in these emails. Even emails from people tasked with mundane jobs like securing preferential food items. Not everything is a conspiracy. The people involved had to eat too. I don't think it's weird to think they might actually be talking about regular food.

@TLR242 @ThayzzySmith Presuming you’ve read through some of the files. After reading anything in there, you’re willing to give this dude the benefit of the doubt? That this isn’t just another code word when there’s hundreds of code words throughout the files? Bizarre take.

Epstein tinha equipes trabalhando 24 horas por dia para garantir que ele tivesse carne seca sempre que precisasse; o estoque no freezer era reabastecido regularmente e eles tinham que tomar cuidado para que a carne não estragasse. 🤯🤯 A carne seca é feita justamente para não precisar de congelamento/refrigeração — ela é desidratada e conservada. Por que tanto drama logístico — voos, freezer, estoque 24 horas — para algo que não estraga? Estoque no freezer: "6 pacotes no freezer lá embaixo para sua próxima viagem." "Enviando para o laboratório para análise nutricional." "Receitas, armazenamento com temperatura controlada, compras no atacado, entregas, etc." Havia uma preocupação genuína com uma possível escassez de carne seca que Epstein poderia enfrentar se a comunicação não fosse eficiente. Seus convidados e amigos da elite consumiam frequentemente a carne seca servida na ilha.

@cpscott16 I. don't. care. Let's have one election where identity has to be verified like it does anywhere else.

The problem under the current SAVE Act bill is that it’s not just about showing a government-issued ID like a driver’s license. You have to show an ID plus a birth certificate, or you have to show your passport. That is excessive. I can get on board with showing a driver’s license or some other form of government photo ID, like a military ID, which also is not accepted by itself under SAVE, but what is proposed here is going to make voting far harder for the average American. The problem is that I think the average American believes all that will be required under this law is a standard photo ID. They don’t understand that a government photo ID alone is no longer going to be good enough. And I think you guys in the Republican Party know that, you are playing on that ignorance. I bet if you conducted a poll and asked specifically whether people would support the requirement to show a birth certificate or a passport to vote (because a photo ID such as a driver’s license or military ID wouldn’t be enough) Americans would be against this en masse.
