Terry Pratchett was born on this day in 1948.
A favorite, from The Wee Free Men:

@GenWRX6 @IndyEleven To each his own. I'd prefer a coach who doesn't aspire to 30% possession. If my team isn't going to win, I'd at least like to see evidence they know how to control the ball.

@polk104 @IndyEleven You're joking, right? Avg age is 26 (10 players <25). Starting CB & right FB out for season w/injury. Rendon was all-league defender now FW. O'Brien was CB now MF. Guys making league min salary.
McAuley is trying to put a team on the field w/what is available.

Different Cup competition, same opponent, same result as @indyeleven fall once again 2-1 to Union Omaha.

Maybe not “every home” but by 1985, everyone in my circle had either a:
Commodore 64 (me)
TRS80 (Trash80)
an Apple II (the rich kids 🤣)

Yes! But in 1982, my high school didn't teach boys typing because it was for secretaries Schools didn’t anticipate computers in every home just 4 years later 🤓 In 2024, only 14% of US public K-12 schools taught appropriate AI use. History is repeating

Okay so I've been informed he's Indonesian.
That makes things simpler; deport.

I can't believe that this is real and yet it is...
I say that as someone who generally likes Japanese people, but this guy shouldn't be in British politics.
Obviously.
Orm@orm0nde
This is real btw

@AuroraBlodyz19 @geemoney31666 @mass_ave I sail there all the time. Me and the otters better enjoy it while we can!

@polk104 @geemoney31666 @mass_ave Your hyperbolic talking points make you look even dumber.
The concentration of minerals will affect the life balance of the reservoir. We just fucking got otters back in eagle creek and this shit will kill them. It will kill several bird and fish species.

@polk104 @AuroraBlodyz19 @geemoney31666 @grok 🤣🤣🤣 You’re literally asking a data center if data centers are a good thing!
English
@AuroraBlodyz19 @mass_ave @geemoney31666 @grok Well I’ve been properly schooled. This is clearly a grave danger. The risks of some extra calcium flowing into Eagle Creek (somehow evading all the mandated environmental risk mitigations) outweigh any positives that could come from this or any other technology.

@mass_ave @polk104 @geemoney31666 @grok It's like they've never boiled water before and saw the residue left behind. Or taken a basic fuckin science class to know there is ALWAYS loss during chemical reactions (yes boiling water is a reaction) and even in a closed loop they will need to flush and restart.

@AuroraBlodyz19 @geemoney31666 @mass_ave Ok, so some concentrated sludge that was already in the water is being characterized as the next Three Mile Island. Fair enough, carry on. We all need our boogeymen.

@mass_ave @AuroraBlodyz19 @geemoney31666 @grok Good point, it’s like asking academia for a factual response.

@PeterDiamandis Just did and couldn’t be happier. There are a lot of things in life you miss out on chasing whatever it is you’re chasing.

There is NO retirement during the Singularity.

@DJSnM Can anyone explain why they can’t simply buy or build another drone ship?
English
Also, with only one drone ship SpaceX loses the ability to recover Falcon heavy side cores on the ocean. It’s RTLS or sacrificing the whole stack to the dark gods of delta V.
English
Fun fact, this is the second landing barge named Just Read The Instructions, the first was retired after two failed landing attempts a decade ago.
SpaceX@SpaceX
After 156 successful Falcon 9 landings, Just Read the Instructions will be fully dedicated to support Starship operations going forward

Good afternoon from Alaska 👋
