@TinaKotek Meanwhile Metro collected nearly a billion dollars with the SHS tax and the number of homeless doubled. Excessive taxation has forced many to leave the state.

Oregon families are paying the price of President Trump’s recklessness. His tariff taxes added $845 to Oregon households’ costs for basic essentials.

I got scammed in Austin After paying with Apple Pay for a drink, I saw the staff member add a $10 tip, sign as me and decline the receipt I confronted them in the moment but they denied it I am trying to get @Wise to investigate it, but they're asking for evidence, which I don't have What exactly can I do here? I don't care about the tip, and would've left one, I just cannot stand the dishonesty

@thenewarea51 At Burning Man I was gifting a scenic flight to a couple. He had clued me in that he was going to propose. Of course she said yes. Then over the tears she said OMG I’m so glad you asked because I peed on a stick this morning and it was positive

@MarkCoffin14 @EastCarolina My mother in law taught high school in Pennsylvania in 1985 she failed a student who skipped every exam and had turned in zero homework. Principal reversed the grade. She retired. I guess nothing has changed

The main reason I quit academia and gave up a tenured faculty position at @EastCarolina was because I caught a student red-handed plagiarism a term paper. Failed them. But administration forced me to change their grade and I was threatened with a lawsuit by the parents 1/2
Wendy@teachthemx3

I have a senior on my roster who hasn’t attended my class a single day this semester. She showed up today for the first time. We have 7 days left before grades are finalized for seniors. My administrator just asked me to see what I can do to help her graduate. In case anyone here is a new follower, this is why I’m leaving public education.

one C function took down 10% of the entire internet in 1988 gets() it reads user input into a buffer with no size limit. whatever the user types, it writes. past the buffer, past the stack, into the return address. a grad student named Robert Morris used it to overflow fingerd and inject shellcode. the worm spread to 6,000 machines in hours.

CPUs tend to get slower with time. Probably not for the reason you’d expect. Unfortunately, many microcode updates are security related, which almost universally cause performance regressions…or even complete feature loss! Haswell might be the worst performing processor family of all time, in terms of features removed. TSX - concurrency instruction literally removed due to security concerns DX12 - removed / broken due to priv escalation Meltdown, Spectre, Foreshadow, MDS - all lead to perf regressions…for MDS specifically Red Hat and Microsoft still suggest disabling HyperThreading on Haswell! Over the life of a CPU, I’d expect the typical performance curve (from microcode) to look like: Initial Launch to +1 year, slight upward trend, platform maturing 1-2 years, mostly flat 2+ years, likely downward trend. Enough time has passed where security people are starting to poke/write papers indirectly leading to vendor microcode regressions 6+ years / EOL -> old CPUs start to have major regressions! I genuinely wonder if extremely performance-sensitive industries sometimes purposefully delay or otherwise remain on “stale” microcode…and just accept the additional risk.

GOP Congressman: Pearl Harbor was bombed on December 7th, 1941. Do you know how long it took for the US to have its first major victory of WWII in the Pacific? Hegseth: A number of years. GOP Congressman: No. It was actually 6 months.

RK JR: One of the Democrats was ridiculing President Trump for his math, and she was saying it's in mathematically impossible to have any drug drop by 600% cost. And I said, well, if the drug was $100 and it raised the price of $600. That would be a 600% rise. If it drops from 600 to 100, that's a 600% savings.  Trump: That’s right. RFK JR: The president used that mathematical device to illustrate the magnitude of the theft.

@lyssasphere The tetanus vaccine is derived from the tetanus bacterium. No viruses are harmed in the manufacture of the vaccine

Lyssavirus ✨@lyssasphere·
"Can you explain to me what tetanus is?" "Tetanus is a toxin produced by bacteria that causes your muscles to completely contract." "And you want me to get a vaccine for it?" "Yes." "I thought a vaccine protects against viruses?" "Yes." "So if it's a toxin from bacteria why are you offering me a vaccine? What's in the vaccine?" "It's just a small amount of the virus and it allows your body to practice its defense against it." "But you just said it's not a virus, it's a toxin. So the 'vaccine' has a bit of the toxin in it?" "Only a small amount." "Okay but why do I need any amount? Isn't that what the antibiotics are for?" "Tetanus is scary to get so you should take the vaccine." "But it's not isolated on its own, right? It's mixed with other viruses. So I can't just get a tetanus shot. I also have to have diptheria and pertussis. I don't make fear based decisions and this is illogical. No thank you. Telling me 'its just a small amount' is the Fallacy of Relative Privation and it's for a toxin that 1 in 150,000 will get when I'm already on antibiotics." -me, every time they offer me a tetanus shot

@StephenFleming @TJ_Cooney I have a 7 year old @subaru_usa with a touch screen. Apparently the screen delaminates and now it is shorted and is going crazy like a ghost is hitting all the buttons.

Victor Glover explains why physical controls are better than touchscreens: “If I’m doing something where I’m so busy that I cannot stop and look down at my hands to fly, this is the biggest difference. I have to touch the screen, which means I have to look, because if I touch right next to that arrow, it doesn’t work. In Orion, I have a feel. I don’t have to look. I can focus on precision because I can look out the window the whole time.”
Eric Berger@SciGuySpace

On Orion’s reentry: “And then there was a point—there’s something that I feel that I am not ready to say to the public yet.” arstechnica.com/space/2026/04/…
