@YourAnonOne Won’t get far if you panic. Blowing air out your mouth or “swimming” will do the trick. Being calm under pressure and using your brain usually wins

@Ph1l1pN0rth @CNviolations Not the point. I agree it isn’t safe to do this in any capacity unless you have the right protection, but it is definitely not illegal to own/use responsibility. Luckily for them, the cost of these is prohibitively expensive for most idiots who would treat it as a toy.

@LowKickLuke @CNviolations I work in the steel manufacturing industry and we operate a range of different lasers, I wouldn't play with that ''toy''.

@Ph1l1pN0rth @CNviolations You can 100% own this and operate it. You just can’t shine it at people or anything that has people in it or flies. These strengths are used for laser etching/engraving

@CNviolations At that strength 100% not legal to operate in public CAN/US, you would need special glasses to operate which explains his gloves protecting him from indirect IR rays. China has a history of bypassing safety standards and this is one of them.

@SenSchumer @SecRubio Doesn’t matter. The president doesn’t have to act when they want us to, and there are other, more controversial ways to exit NATO.

Chuck Schumer@SenSchumer·
I can promise this: The Senate will not vote to leave NATO and abandon our allies just because Trump is upset they wouldn’t go along with his reckless war of choice.   Thank you to @SecRubio for sponsoring the bill in 2023 requiring a two thirds vote of the Senate to make sure clueless presidents couldn’t act on a whim.
Senator Marco Rubio: Archived@SenMarcoRubio

No U.S. President should be able to withdraw from NATO without Senate approval. Thankful my colleagues in Congress passed this bipartisan measure.

@loftwah I’ve been using OpenAI’s codex (pro) for a while now and will say that it seems to legitimately get worse with each update

So given Claude Code is just a bunch of prompt spaghetti do you think AI is actually getting better or taking over real jobs consistently? Can anyone say Potemkin village?

I’ve decided to abandon my advocacy for chemistry. It’s clear to me now, thanks to the timely intervention of an anonymous X user who was well versed in popular science articles and books, that chemicals are inherently toxic and should be avoided wherever possible. After all, everything “natural” is safe, and anything synthesized in a lab must be harmful. Furthermore, the mere presence of a substance - no matter how small the dose - precludes any possibility of it being safe. I apologise for having wasted everyone’s time.

Viruses don't exist. PCR is fraudulent and can detect anything if you run it to enough cycles. Iverm3ctin cures all known ailments. mRNA vaccines cause turbocancer.

From the flight line of VFA-103 Jolly Rogers to commanding humanity's return to the Moon. Huge pride today knowing NASA Astronaut and former VFA-103 pilot Reid Wiseman is leading Artemis II, the first crewed lunar mission in over 50 years, as it lifts off today. I served as an aircraft mechanic in the same squadron (VFA-103 at NAS Oceana) where Reid was flying F/A-18F Super Hornets when NASA selected him in 2009. We kept those birds mission-ready so legends like him could reach for the stars. Now, as founder of GearOS, I'm watching one of our own take the next giant leap. Fair winds and following seas, Commander Wiseman and the Artemis II crew. #ArtemisII #NASA #VFA103 #jollyrogers @Gear_OS
