You buy those practical joke "snake in a can" gags, but do you ever consider the effort that goes into making them?

@Seanfucious A big part of building anything is getting your manufacturing process dialed in. Without the original templates, molds, jigs, test fixtures, etc it's a giant expensive pain to build anything.
They could, but unless they're building a lot of them it just wouldn't pencil out.

@Seanfucious My local plumber quoted my $400 to do a job and some random stuff went wrong she he had to step out to get some parts. I asked him what the final total was with the extra trip and he looked at me like I was crazy. $400.
Super good guy.

Has a visit from a plumber ever been the price quoted? Or is it always double?

@four4thefire Initially I was worried when I saw a bunch of people outsource "is this true?" to grok.
Then I realized most of them are terrible consumers of information and grok probably does a better job than they would anyway.

@Philip_DT @four4thefire Perfect shape for washing your u-shaped cutting board.

@eigenrobot Just wait until they add nukes and some additional range to the toolbox. They can just kick back and concentrate all their resources on managing their proxy wars.

@DistractedAnna We've proved now that we will elect horrible felonious administrations and that they're particularly fond of their special unchecked police force (and the feeling seems mutual!).
Given that, we should start designing our system to be more robust.

@DistractedAnna Border checkpoints with limited authority at the border make perfect sense! A definition of "the border" that includes most Americans most of the time isn't that.
That's just unlimited internal checkpoint authority that past presidents have been courteous enough not to abuse.
English
Border patrol checkpoints, near international borders and staffed by uniformed, identifiable and trained officers are miles apart from the ICE shenanigans that people have been legitimately outraged about

US Customs and Border Protection steps onto Greyhound bus and checks citizenship status of all riders, Sarita TX

@DistractedAnna I mean, they were just arguing that you could be handed over to a foreign dictator for disposal with no review or recourse.
Allowing the same people to set arbitrary internal checkpoints on most citizens for "national security" seems unwise.
English
@DistractedAnna We've created a very odd constitutional hole around border protection and we now have an administration that is looking for useful tools. These weird unchecked powers that they *probably* won't abuse are very concerning to leave sitting around.
English
@DistractedAnna That would suggest that nobody in San Diego has the right to go about their business without showing their ID at checkpoints.
Which is legally true and also completely insane.
English
@TroublesomeF Strongly disagree! Sarita checkpoint is only like 80 or 90 miles from the official border and very much part of the border region. There has traditionally been much more casual treatment of the border itself vs the surrounding region (on both sides).

Looking forward to the lawsuit Costco files against him over this one.
They'll probably want to set an example to protect their customer experience.
SNAPtok@EBTtok
We need a federal crackdown on nuisance streamers. This little asshole yanked the fire alarm @Costco, then proceeded to cause even more chaos spraying a fire extinguisher, just for clicks. This won’t stop until they’re more scared of punishment than they want clicks.

So far my AI killer app is debugging--specifically hypothesis testing.
I work on hardware projects that have long build/test cycle times. I can now offload tasks like, "try these 3 patches and summarize the results." It's a team of interns that never sleep or get bored.

The reaction to this on the right is half blaming TSA for not being able to tell robbers from ICE and half pointing to ICE posting about a legitimate arrest.
Things are going great.
Jesus Freakin Congress@TheJFreakinC
🚨This video is terrifying. And it’s another example of how ICE is making everyone less safe. At Las Vegas International Airport, two people, in plain clothes, are seen trying to handcuff a man. The man is screaming for help. When the person filming asks a TSA agent what is happening, the agent replies, “It’s law enforcement.” But when the person filming walks over and starts recording the people claiming to be law enforcement, one of them tries to swat the phone away. Then, as more people begin watching, they get up and leave. The man is left with a handcuff still attached to one of his wrists. He is visibly shaken and says they stole his belongings. Think about how dangerous this is. The government is normalizing armed agents, in plain clothes, grabbing people in public, without immediately identifying themselves in a way bystanders can verify. That creates confusion, panic, and makes it impossible for ordinary people to know whether they’re witnessing a lawful arrest, or a kidnapping. In this case, people intervened… They started asking questions, and filming. If no one had stepped in, who knows what would have happened to that man. A government that expects people to simply accept unidentified agents, taking someone away without question, is making every person in this country less safe.

My signals and systems class exam was "open book, open whatever notes you want, stay as long as you like" and the average was in the 40% range.
Great class, too.

seeing discourse on cheat sheets bc of this is so funny. at my school it was common knowledge that if you have a class that lets you have a cheat sheet in the exam you’re fucked. they let you bring the sheet because it won’t help unless you actually understand

@constans His whole life seems built around climbing to power but he also doesn't seem to have any durable beliefs about what to do with it.
Is he just monomaniacal about high office for its own sake?

Because Vance has no core and knew that the only means of escape from his childhood was by latching on to others, he will say and do and agree with anything and anyone if he thinks it can give him an advantage

Rogan: Most people think Epstein was Mossad. Vance: "Ya. Mossad or CIA or some other deep state, whether in America or Israel…He clearly had connections to the highest levels of American intelligence. He clearly had connections to the highest level of Israeli intelligence."
