Had a hankering to eat The Maltese Falcon but it doesn't appear to be available on any of the services I pay for.

Yes. Stop being weak!

Learned tonight that you can do a decent steak in an air fryer.

You want to convince the rank and file not to follow illegal orders? Throw an admiral under the bus for following the Secdef's orders. If an admiral isn't safe, no one below him is.

Our friends know a guy who owns a resort in Bali and have arranged a really good price for a week there. They, two other couples, my wife and I sand or daughter and her friend are all going for a week next September. Now we are trying to decide what else to do while over that way.

I have a Suunto sports watch that I really love, but it infuriatingly changes the watchface to an unreadable "default" face when it updates. This time, I couldn't even change it back without resetting the watch.

Two 7,000-year-old mummified women from a rock shelter in southern Libya, discovered with strange DNA profiles, are pushing scientists to rethink how ancient North Africa was populated.

Glad the Seahawks won, but it should have been way more of a blowout. They allowed way too much pressure on Darnold and way you many of those points were field goals. Not going to beat LA playing like that.

They did an MRI of his brain and found nothing.

It's really amazing how thoroughly a lot of sites have made it impossible to read an article they post. Ads fly in, pop up, play videos, and in general totally obscure what you're trying to read.

People say this will go to the Supremes, but I don't see why they'd take it up.

Maybe, just maybe, if the FBI counterterrorism desk hadn't been retasked to chasing abuelitas, somebody might've followed up on the tips...

I fully expect that we will eventually find out that people are paying folks around Trump to get him to sign off on pardons without him having a clue what he's doing

19 year old college student. Such a threat to our safety that they transported her in wrist, ankle and waist chains.

We are not at war with Venezuelan drug runners, so the boat strikes are murder. Second strikes to kill the survivors are murder. Everyone from the SecDef to the commanding officers, to the ones who pulled the trigger have committed murder. Period.

Wile E. Coyote wouldn't have tried to pull this one

So if Trump manages to depose Maduro for being a narco, does that mean he'll pardon him because he's an ex world leader!

If sorry if feels like someone has told Trump that the killing in the Caribbean might be a bad thing for him. He's starting to prep to throw Drunken Pete under the bus.

Her Michigan, great job going for Trump last time.

I'm not really a math person, but how, exactly, do you lower prices by 800%?

I hope Pete likes the underside of a bus.

This. The second strike is important bc AFTER that one, they started leaving survivors (plus, why the fuck can't Whiskey Pete's DOD manage to destroy a boat in uncontested waters the first strike?). But all these are murder. Murder murder murder murder.

COVID booster and second Hep A+B in the arm. Fuck RFK Jr.

Tried watching Stranger Things when it first came out but just couldn't handle the 1980s homage stuff. I'm wondering if I should revisit.

Follow these simple tips.

Keep in mind: Trump put tariffs on Ukraine and exempted Russia

If Microsoft wanted to make OneDrive more obnoxious I'm not sure they could pull it off. All I want to do is back the whole thing up to an external drive. There is no easy way to do so unless I have hundreds of GB of free space on my internal drive.

Build a house with a strong floor and no checking, and pretty soon, that floor is going to be rotting and buried in dirt and debris and will eventually fall in on itself

AI companies are spending obscene money to build out their tech, and companies like MSFT are stuffing LLMs into every product, which costs them in terms of compute spend. None of this scales. None of it makes business sense.

How do you decrease a price by more than 100%?

My sister's deck in northern Illinois and our walk in the dog park in Redmond, WA.

Team into an old work buddy at the dog park today after my seeing him for probably ten years. Amazed he recognized me, but good to catch up

1/2 A gilded husk, loud as a trumpet, yet hollow as a drum.” - “A swollen bladder of wind, puffed with self-love, and leaking wisdom like a sieve.” - “A jester crowned, who struts upon the stage with borrowed plumes, mistaking applause for honor.”

When the MF dies, you know that the GOP will propose a monument to him on the Mall.

LLM based "AI" is starting to feel like the 3D TV of tech.

Her parents owe their lives to the United States accepting them as asylum seekers fleeing religious persecution in Iraq in the 1980s. She wouldn't be here if we had not offered her family safe haven. The hypocrisy is stunning.

Habba'sv family came to America as immigrants to escape persecution. Follow up question should have been, "How and why did your family come to America?"

Meaning that they will follow all orders that they feel like following and none that they don't.

My sister in Illinois woke up to over 9" of snow. Ido NOT miss that. It's chilly here this morning, but the sun's out for the first time in ages.

It was clear enough last night to get it the scope, but it was also cold and I'm lazy.

How much did the felon pay the felon for clemency?

Peter says happy Sunday morning!

When you've lost Andy McCarthy...

Jesus. This is simple torture because Trump hates Biden.

RE-reading The Maltese Falcon and once again being amazed by the effect writing. Hammett is underrated.

So tired of everything today.

My only question on the heart murder orders is how far down the chain we go with prosecutions.
