being from delaware is so annoying it's like man yeah i know

Happy National Cheese Day to all who celebrate, which is pretty much everyone*, the Grand Unification Day of holidays! *Remember to raise an extra slice in the honor of those with restrictions.

**slaps roof** you can fit so many National and State Park stickers on this bad boy, and legally seat up to 5 lesbians!

I feel like a #$MM business model is: 1. Mail sample containers to customers or accept commercial lab results 1A. Throw them out 2. Mail back a glossy, professionally typeset letter with a compelling graph that shows e.g. "perfect midichlorians" 3. Market it to everyone who follows Bryan Johnson

Business is bad? Fuck you, pay me.

I'll do this and a few days later they'll switch it back

cool, so don’t fund his agency

Same-same with military history folks. "I'm really into military history!" "Oh, yeah, what periods?" "American civil war, European theater WW2. Oh, and Rome!" "..."

Can't believe I have to put up with this Erasure on my timeline during Pride month

But, I’m funny, how? Funny like a clown?

Deploying agents locally is great, but weirdly chops off the low end of the "everyone will need Grillions of Dollars of tokens" plan, which tanks the need for data centers, which in turn torpedoes NVDA arch-rival... NVDA?

I always try to start subscriptions on the 31st of the month. Occasionally companies skip the bill every other month.

You basically want to buy used, late in the model generation so the reliability warts are fixed, as close to pre-COVID as you can find, and hold it for a decade. Higher sticker price is extra hit points for cosmetic oopsies.

Discord's extremely granular permissions model is some of the most user-hostile design I have ever seen

Sometimes you get nostalgic for the early days of Bluesky, and you just gotta post hog.

I hope this email finds you [1st surfer], or failing that, at least [2nd surfer].

Maryland crabs are pretty okay. Cracking 'em open is not worth the meat you get, but it's a nice social event. Crabcakes are really hit-or-miss based on the filler and seasonings, and because they're such a tourist draw it's hard to find really good ones, when mediocre ones do great numbers.

Ugh, really, they call him "jirt" because his initials are JRRT? What a goofy-ass way to create a nickname for someone. Completely implausible.

I'll be conducting an infosec class for activists soon. Apps & the SDKs used to assemble them will be on the syllabus. 4th Amendment searches of mobile devices will be on the curriculum. Gagged subpoenas of app stores and other commercial providers will be on the curriculum.

I understand that HDMI can carry an audio signal. I do not understand why monitors that don't have integrated sound bars / speakers, and the PCs they plug into, conspire, on connection, to move audio output from an existing working sound device (speakers) to a non-existent audio output (a monitor).

I dropped everything to draw this friend

I SHALL RIDE INTO BATTLE WITH MY ARMY OF JEFFS

Each of the 124 people in Delaware who aren't from Wilmington dislike Wilmington, but there are so few Delawarean that, as in all things, the actual measurables are too small for Delaware to even move the needle.

fun fact is that dogs possess some mutations that help with starch digestion that wolves don't have so they can benefit from opportunities like these

Horseshit. It was a reaction to fear. Its purpose was to show strength in the face of that fear, and convince us that by ceding liberty we could defeat a threat. The historical record is full of people saying “homeland” sounds exactly like Hitler’s “fatherland” and serves the same rhetorical duty.

I sure wish people would stop trying to shoot the President

YOU’RE LISTENING TO SISYPHUS FM, THE HOME OF NON-STOP ROCK

DPRK's "Manbang" device is a set-top box that DPRK workers abroad are encouraged to carry with them, so they can watch their daily dose of propaganda. In the US, we're just going to push it straight to the mandatory app on all gov't phones.

If someone wants to leak me a copy of this app (either .apk or .ipa), please reach out on Signal — my username is zackwhittaker.1337 — and I would be keen to run this app through Burp Suite to see how it works. Happy to grant anonymity.

Neighborhood ravens losing their shit … pursuing a fox carrying something limp and black in its jaws. They’re up in the tree next door staring down into the den and I don’t think it’s safe for her kits to go exploring today
