I do like how the catholic church's insurance that explicitly does not cover stuff which the church disagrees with still coveres quackery based on a different religion that I'm pretty sure the church disagrees with too.

Nothing is more frustrating then watching a 4 year old play Mario kart

look man I think the president should be allowed to catch a dick whenever they want in total peace but that’s just not the world republicans are willing to build with me

DIFFERENT PLACES!

The reason that the prequel trilogy remains absolute rage bait is that they are good movies executed poorly There is a version in the like platonic idea space but then you have to sit thru the minute by minute of like Hayden Christensen's accent (which he his not to blame for) &it just falls apart

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death. Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written." Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating. 🧪🧬🧫

The prequels are some of the best and worst movies, often in the same movies. The Phantom Menace and Tenet are basically the only two movies where the best part about then is thinking about them afterwards, but that's only a complimentary about tenet.

i hope this is how you find out about dick cheney

Wahoo!

Defense is now questioning Lairmore on cross-examination. They show a video still of the sandwich and wrapper on the ground, post-throw. "Do you recognize that sandwich?" the attorney asks. Lairmore won't confirm. "I did not go back to collect it," he says.

Conference organizers, I'm begging you, double sided name badges.

My son is far more interested in trying to explore strangers houses then taking the candy offered to him.

You Should Attend FOSS4G North America Once again, FOSS4G North America is bringing together the people shaping the future of open-source geospatial technology. This year, it takes place November 3–5 at the Hyatt Regency in Reston, Virginia, just a few miles from the centers of federal…

I assumed this was a joke making fun of British people but apparently it's real

Range requests seem broken in @firefox.com, it sends a "Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate, br, zstd, identity" header, the server (for instance githup pages) dutifully sends back a chunk of a gzipped file and firefox proceeds to be unable to open it because gzip doesn't work that way

and another thing: he’s not mad. please don’t put it in the newspaper that he got mad.

Do you want to see me discus the stupidest possible geospatial format? Because this is the place to do it.

It's really cooking my 4 year old's brain that his older brother is his big brother but also littler than him. He really wants words to just have just one meaning.

"I don't need to bring the diaper bag to the park" he thought ominously

Registering for everwinter had finally prodded me into finally painting this bad boy who's been sitting in my pole of shame for 20 months

Seeing how Zach Snyder poked fun at himself in Rick and Morty really reminds me how little of Snyder's reputation has anything to do with the man himself as opposed to the version of him in the minds of his most toxic fans.

These two just know how to chill

October is Dwarfism awareness month, so be aware my son has dwarfism. Furthermore he is far cooler than I will ever be.

version 6.2.0 of shpjs is out, now able to perfectly valid but weird shapes, like a multi-polygon of a shape within the hole of another shape but also pathological shapes like a free floating inner ring, or an outer ring inside of an inner ring. github.com/calvinmetcal...

In honor of Eric Adams dropping out, I'm now resharing my all-time favorite bit of Eric Adams content for years, this thing was like my video from The Ring, where I had to get other people to watch it in order for me to stay alive enjoy www.youtube.com/watch?v=sk2W...

I think some of this is financial incentives, I think a lot about Auspex Tactics channel, which basically posts narrated power points about 40k. In another age these would be blog posts, but you can't monitize those.

just guess

Always amusing to see the other things going on at the hotel (funniest was the time there was a bee keeping convention and specific dog breed meet up)

When she see's your history on YouTube

Favorite modern TV theme songs I. E. Ones I never skip Doom Patrol Monarch legacy of monsters Peacemaker

Man the MCU has totally wiffed on Wyatt Russell, watching Thunderbolt or Falcon and Winter solder I'm like eh. Watching monarch and I'm like OH this is Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn's son.

Trying to spy on my dog without her noticing so I can figure out how she escaped the yard.

OK new thread, best flag designs from the short list which you can find here www.mass.gov/doc/seal-fla...

a lot of people on here acting tough about the subway but what if you were in a movie theater and it was coming directly at you on screen

I’m afraid to say this is very attractive. Got to love a passionate nerd. He knows his shit.

This is the reason I love reading the comments to physics posts on hacker news, the comments are always tech bros championing crack pot alternative physicist theories like MOND. (an alt physics theory that does away with dark matter) 1/3

Today I learned certain Colorado streets that name themselves in fractional miles from some road while also using grid based street numbering so addresses differing only by the presence '1/8' in a road name are literally 600 feet apart.

Assuming Washington D.C. still exists and only if it is safe for you to come to America to spend your business dollars without being arbitrarily detained, please attend my talk where I discuss being nerd sniped by @pwramsey.bsky.social into writing the stupidest geospatial format possible. #foss4g

Going back and watching the Transformers movies and the good early ones (1 & 3) feel like autor cinima compared to modern blockbusters. 1/?

Finally figured out how my dog was escaping my yard

One member of road trip without diahria doesn't see issue with taking scenic route home.

Just remembered this flowchart I made many years ago for Twitter. Still very relevant to BlueSky.

When your dad starts asking lots of python questions you know he's upto something
