@CJHandmer The actual way to get rid of them is to *create* artificial standing water and poison it with bacillus thuringiensis israelensis. Hang a rainwater bucket from every tree and toss one of these in there monthly and 90% of them will die

SoCal has the best climate on Earth and for the last 15 years invasive mosquitos have been spreading, making it very difficult to actually be outside, risking disease. Official guidance is "err, eliminate standing water". It's 2026. We have crispr, gene drive, and a local pest control budget that's high though to run a space program. Who do I have to fuck to get these mosquitoes extincted? They aren't native, they're displacing local species, they spread disease, they don't have rights. Kill them all!

@mil0theminer Beeper tried this and Apple eventually dropped the hammer. Wouldn’t recommend basing your entire company on an iMessage ToS violation

iMessage API’s aren’t just basic aws instances, they use jailbroken iPhones as a way to use the iMessage protocol with a real phone number, they have racks and racks of iPhones in warehouses.

@Nexuist @justalexoki @nikitabier Yes developer.apple.com/documentation/…

@foooorsyth @justalexoki @nikitabier Oh wtf, I stand corrected Is there a way to tie a key signing operation to a Face ID scan?

@justalexoki @nikitabier 3rd party apps can’t access the Secure Enclave, you can store privkeys in Keychain but users can still read them. There’s no way to send something to the Secure Enclave to be signed as an app (altho would be great if there was)

@P_M_Cu You almost perfectly match both the horsepower and cabin volume of a Lamborghini Gallardo 😀. Just get a second set of wheels with all-seasons and save the knobbies for snow

Got the Rivian! But the k03 AT tires seem really loud. I measured the DB at about 76 when going 65 mph. I got them balanced which helped a little but any Rivian owners have advice? I am thinking I might sell the k03s on Facebook and get some Michelin all seasons if I can't figure out another solution.

In a recent pod, @DougDeMuro said that people just got mad and honked when he broke down in his Countach. The sight of a mechanically broken down car is increasingly alien

x.com/douglassmackey… Or, modern cars are just incredibly reliable and durable. Drivers don’t replace perfectly functional vehicles. Car longevity has been increasing steadily for decades and the only obvious spike in average vehicle age was caused by Cash for Clunkers

@Seishie_red @horsepower @90s_Honda He's already done ~everything. It's just tiresome owning one. My '01 330ci needs something fixed every other month. Justified rage-sell.

@horsepower @90s_Honda Bro probably has to do the big 3 and is regretting his decision to buy the car

I mean at least they’re honest

@Rosstradamus @johnarnold They’re the numbers from the article. They’re damning even if they’re off by an order of magnitude. When we send our IMO winners to work on Wall St we can lie to ourselves and say their market making provides liquidity and pricing info. These betting platforms only deal despair

@foooorsyth @johnarnold Congrats on making up numbers

The Atlantic has a sobering, first-person look at the ramifications of legalized online sports betting. Here are a few of the more telling passages. 1/5

When I’m in the UK or any country with betting shops, I’m taken aback by how much visible despair they cause. You’re just used to it because it’s all you know. I grew up in a place without desperate men throwing their lives away on every corner. Forgive me for being against that morbidity being propagated in every pocket.

@foooorsyth @johnarnold The maths is way too high, look at the U.K. We’ve had betting apps for years and excluding the 0.1% then people just use them as a bit of fun

single greatest llm use case is CMakeLists.txt

@oettinguin Guy on my men’s league team is named Mathieu Orr

you ever see a hockey player’s name and think yeah there was no other path for you other than being an nhl player

@Adriksh char** img_buffer; void median_filter(char*** img_buffer); median_filter(&img_buffer);

declaring a triple pointer in C is just admitting you have completely lost control of the software architecture

@CWNazarian Did the SFO to CLT red eye monthly for 5 years. Stopped when I got a Whoop. Sleep hit lasted until Tuesday of the following week…

i simply cannot justify eating up four daylight hours, regardless of the sleep toll it takes

it's really unfortunate the most time-effective way to travel from the west coast to the east coast is via red-eye.

I am currently dealing with both golfer’s and tennis elbow. Also a hockey player like you. Had to drop all gym exercises with prolonged or intense holds (any deadlift variant). For pull ups and rows I wear straps to take grip out of it as much as possible. On other exercises where elbow lateral forces come into play (bench, lateral raises, rear delt fly) I wear elbow sleeves of varying thicknesses (from SPD and Inzer). 2-3 times I day I do Theraband twists (both directions), wrist pronation and supination with a heavy hammer, and ulnar and radial deviation with a heavy mallet. Then I hit my forearm with the Hyperice followed by 30 min of electric heating pad. In my men’s league games I stopped taking big slap shots. At night I try to keep my elbow extended — I noticed that I had the most morning pain when I slept with it bent. I’m probably 80% recovered and can still skate and lift. Couldn’t drive with my injured arm a month ago. Not yet willing to accept the “just don’t use your dominant arm for a year” prescriptions.

Any of my gym guys dealt with tennis elbow? Anything that worked that doesnt involve me not working out (that’s not an option).

@catawampless @pronounced_kyle @ctjlewis SpektreWorks won a $30m contract from APFIT

@pronounced_kyle @ctjlewis Which VCs funded them?

It is pretty remarkable — and incredibly American — that the new LUCAS drones are being built by 13 dudes in Arizona. Unveiled last July. In combat by February, 227 days later.

@_robyn_smith Please don’t give them ideas. Cool naming is the only thing the US resorts have over European ones now. I want to take the Promised Land Express and hit “Why Not” on the way down. I refuse to take Lift #6 to the Mountain Dew™ Moguls

If private equity owned ski resorts really cared about profits they would let rich people and companies sponsor runs and lifts imagine having a ski run named after you for the low low price of $250,000

@BowTiedHomeBake Nothing satisfied my boyhood desire for simulated violence better than lacrosse. Hockey doesn’t have checking until Bantam (age 13-14) — might be worth letting him learn to skate then assess if you want to keep him in it when the danger increases

I don’t want to put my kid in football or ice hockey what are my other options for an extremely physical likes to play rough child Like he laughs in the face of danger type of boy

@sdamico Wouldn’t work with Bluetooth RPA. No chance you’re gonna passively sniff enough to guess a device class

How does this work? 1) scan for Bluetooth MAC address 2) guess device off of that, load microphone profile 3) output specific adversarial ultrasound for the specific MEMS microphone Or am I getting this wrong?
