it is really fucking insane that NATO went ahead and decided to more than double the military budget target from 2% of GDP in 2014 to 5% this year. Russia's is ~6-7% in the middle of a war and China's is under 2%

theres something really special about the bsky user. like have you ever played the game of responding to someone with the most uncharitable reading of what they said? "you're asking me to take out the trash? you don't think women like yourself are capable of doing that? internalised misogyny..."

95% sure I just saw a fox strolling through the middle of campus and unfortunately spooked a poor woman walking towards me by saying "I think that was a fox!?" before I noticed she had headphones on

it’s hard to talk politics anymore because the natural response to everything is “oh they should be killed” but you’re not allowed to say it. it’s more illegal than open pedophilia

optical clocks are so cool. hey yeah we're accounting for the change in gravitational redshift due to post-glacial rebound in our error budget iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1...

there should have been a movie in the "honey, I shrunk the ____" franchise called "honey, I shrunk thee"

it would only be appropriate for aliens to do the equivalent of this to us all. or at least the people who are okay with this kind of thing

if computers are going to try to talk to me, they need to be able to react appropriately when i respond like this

do you think the author came up for the topic of this article, "Why your booze-free drink costs just as much as the alcoholic kind", before or after finding this guy www.cbc.ca/radio/costof...

story in the internal university magazine thing bragging about every grad student in an AI lab getting some sort of funding pissed me off so bad lol

i apologise in advance for reskeeting this ad nauseam in the foreseeable future. i have needed help for awhile now. the white executives @ my FN org have been illegally withholding my pay for 18 months so far. check replies for (paul harvey voice) "the REST, of the story" ko-fi.com/depanneur

imagine something even worse: they stopped making it 20 or 30 years ago yet people still wouldn't shut the fuck up about it

just remembered competing over who was better at stopping their stopwatch at exactly 1.00 seconds as a kid. it really was a different world before phones

got shown dodgers reddit and now i want them to lose almost as much as i want the jays to win. highly doubt any of these people watched a game before 2024

Wow that's incredible, they're making so much progress using AI to develop AI that they need 600 fewer people involved

people say "enshittification" too much when they just mean everything is cheap (not inexpensive or affordable) now. getting nickel and dimed for every component of a plane ticket? cheap. colour banding in the sky on a photo i uploaded to social media? cheap as fuck

All the stops on the bus are pointless except for the one I’m getting off at

whenever I break off some chocolate and it goes beyond the line I'm like hehe yay extra chocolate. but then when I go to break the next bit off I'm like aw I wanted more chocolate. and somehow the government is still silent on this

@cheatlines.co has anyone done something along the lines of Otto Billet (auto belay)

GOOD NEWS: Just found a QC PASSED sticker stuck to me. I've been waiting for this moment.

lol they cut the funding of one of the greatest living mathematicians. but also mr. tao with that reputation i think you could probably stick your neck out further than saying "one can debate whether these grounds were justified"

fixed a 3d printer at work that had seized by just... pushing on the seized part until it started moving again, then relubricating it all. had already filed a support ticket and the response when i told them what i did was basically "that's fucked up but ok i guess?"

lets fucking GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

did you know that "one unit" of botox is the LD50 for mice, i.e. the amount that has a 50% chance of killing a mouse

If bluesky wants some free traffic, might I recommend implementing a group chat feature?

Toronto maple leafs

this is a video posted by the Toronto police association. if you set aside the fact that this is a march for a cop that crashed his car choking on a hot dog, which is very funny on its own, this is the worst marching discipline I've ever seen in my life. I'm fucking crying

absolutely top tier "fuck you" at the end

remembering the time a fairly young therapist tried this on me and i had to go "no fr i have nothing else to say about that question, can we move on"

really, i'm the first person to post this to bluesky? www.1997toyotatacomawaterpumpgasket.com

We drain bogs as wastelands. Our language scorns them. But they have both warmed and cooled global climate. They can tame massive wildfires or keep them burning all winter long. This month, a bog took several military lives and swallowed a powerful armored vehicle. Boglands will have their say.

congratulations to all celebrating either or, perhaps more likely(?), both

the incredible thing is they dont even need to be taught by their parents. they have an innate knowledge of when to suit up and connect hoses to the naturally formed hydrants in the area

@sarahcrgr.bsky.social is it just me or is this graph all messed up? Starting point somewhere between $0.10 and $1 for some reason, labelled numbers on the right are all smaller values than the axis labels on the left
