New York already came for your real guns. Now they’re coming for your BB gun. And that should bother people more than they think. Because for a lot of us, that’s where it started. Not politics. Not hashtags. Not some argument online. Just being a kid in the backyard, learning what it meant to handle something with respect. That’s why this isn’t really about BB guns. It’s about cutting off the beginning of the connection before it ever has a chance to exist. A lot of people in this community didn’t grow up around guns because of some law or debate. They grew up around them because somebody handed them something simple early on and taught them how to respect it. That’s what they’re trying to erase. Curious how many of y’all had that experience. Did a BB gun mean anything in your life growing up, or not really? Full video: youtu.be/pkEaddXTDPE

@hardwarecanucks If he, or his associates, bought those stocks before he wrote those letters, they are all guilty of insider trading and should be prosecuted.

Turns out Sam Altman "buying up" 40% of DRAM wafers was actually him writing Letters of Intent. Letters he supposedly had / has no intention of converting to actual purchases now. And memory manufacturers are just getting DUMPED on today.🍿🍿

Two weeks ago I was hitch-hiking at Donner Summit after a failed backcountry ski trip. Nathan’s CHP cruiser rolled up and I thought, here we go, I’m about to get harassed by the cops. Nathan rolled down the window and asked if I was all right. I leaned in and told him I was ok, and gave him my story. He asked if I wanted a ride, and I gladly accepted. In the next 45 minutes we talked, laughed and shared stories. He told me about his wife and kids, his time working in San Jose, and how he loved working up in the mountains away from the city. When he dropped me off, he gave me his personal phone number and told me to call him at 6:30 if I hadn’t gotten a ride - he would pick me up after he got off work and drive me to family in Sacramento. I texted him later in the day to tell him that I had been picked up and thank him. He texted back: All's well that ends well. Glad you made it. I have found myself thinking about how I could repay his kindness in the last couple of weeks. About bringing him a 6 pack of beer, or writing the CHP to commend him. I thought about looking him up when I was in the area and offering to buy him dinner. I thought about becoming his friend. And then I read in the newspaper today that he had been killed on duty this weekend - hit by a car while investigating another accident. And I was, I am, crushed. Buying him a 6 pack or dinner seems so small in scope now. I am sharing this in an effort to broaden that scope. To repay him by inspiring others to be good. Be a good person. Be kind to strangers. Go out of your way to help them when you can. The time for this is now, not later. Later may never come. The measure of your life is your impact on other people. Make it count. Nathan Taylor was a good man. He was kind, and giving, and he wanted to help. He challenged my prejudice against the police. He inspired me to be a better man. You made a difference, Nathan. Thank you. Credit : Paxton Brewer edited for clarity

@Itsfoss That'd have been great 30 years ago. Today I sit 40 inches away from 48 inches of display, yet still have to zoom everything by 150%. :/

🚨 The company that literally invented Silicon Valley just packed up and LEFT California for good. Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) — born in a tiny Palo Alto garage in 1939 with just $538 — has officially relocated its global headquarters to the Houston area in Texas. This isn’t just any tech company. It’s the iconic firm that defined American innovation, created the blueprint for Silicon Valley, and powered the modern digital world. Now its top executives are gone from San Jose. Governor Greg Abbott welcomed them with open arms, calling Texas the best place to do business. Meanwhile, Gavin Newsom’s office responded with a cold shrug: “Companies come and go.” No press conference. No plan. Just three dismissive words. Over 350 companies have fled California in recent years, citing sky-high taxes (13.3% top rate), crushing regulations, and insane costs. Texas has zero state income tax — saving top executives hundreds of thousands annually. The symbolism is brutal: the birthplace of Silicon Valley just rejected its own home. If even the company that started it all can’t justify staying, what does that say about the future of every business still in California?

I was told my discount code had reached its usage limit. Now I'm pissed and don't want to reorder anything from you ever again. I was a happy customer with a NPS score of probably 9 or 10, and now I'm ready to tell everyone to avoid @dbrand.

During the reorder, I applied the 10% discount I received after my first order and clicked checkout. While trying to clear my screen of a stupid upsell for a flat-earther Rubik's Cube, it was added to my order! I quickly cancelled and tried to reorder and

@dbrand So I bought your Ghost Case and Prism screen protector for my Pixel 10 Pro XL. The Prism saved my phone from a pretty bad accident. I tried to apply the 2nd one and there were bubbles I could not get rid of. I peeled it off and decided to order a new one.

@sizzle_sarah The worst thing about a plane landing on a road is that it's usually an engine failure or out-of-fuel situation, which means the plane is largely silent. If it's coming down behind you, you may never know.
