When they go low we go in at Angels 10 & 525 KiAS.

surprised to see Virginia voters give a broad, bipartisan mandate for two bullets to the head of former Republican Speaker Todd Gilbert. but that’s the clear message voters have sent

"I became a Nazi in prison to avoid something worse" is both completely understandable and an indictment of the US prison system, where certain types of violence are not only considered "normal", but openly joked about (even by those who consider themselves enlightened / reform minded). Not great!

Very happy to have jumped on the “never us-east-1 if possible” train; nothing like waking up late on a Monday and finding out that a) the AWS/the internet has been on fire for the last 10 hours and b) we are totally unaffected Now if only Datadog was in the same boat…

It’s really funny because of course “surely the prior engineers solved this in a systematic and generalizable way” [opens box] *a RATATOUILLE rat is frantically puppeteerting worse spaghetti code than you have ever seen, it briefly pauses to flip you the bird* is the archetypal engineer experience.

and vice versa. researcher code is a dumpster fire that makes me want to gouge my eyes out

I don't think dating apps would use the traditional metal/gem ranking systems. Maybe flowers? "My friend lost some weight and went from Lily to Carnation, but I'm hardstuck Dandelion"

What is the worst highway onramp in Dallas, and why is it the one from the DNT to I-35? www.dmagazine.com/micropost/le...

Car insurance going up 57% in 2 years feels unsustainable - no accidents, claims, or tickets, bought new, less than 7000 miles driven (not per year - total!) I know driving an expensive foreign car doesn’t help but holy shit.

Remove all flair. Black uniforms for everyone in every service. Center mass rank. Slieve years in service. Nametapes. Collar devices right collar branch. Left collar job. High 3 medals. That's all. That's max dress silliness. Every work uniform is less.

*moneyball.gif* what the fuck are you talkin' about, man? www.nytimes.com/2025/10/11/h...

Guard units cannot deploy this rapidly. These are not active duty units with full-time soldiers. These are people with jobs, students and even elected officials. They all have outside obligations. Thay's why there's a ton of coordination that goes into deploying a Guard unit outside of state lines.

Finished Lycoris Recoil. Maki now added to the pantheon with Gendo Ikari as Problematic Dad But Actually….

I'm glad the right is starting to lose culturally but go look at what these guys were saying after Jan 6 and to a lesser extent, after Roe was overturned These guys will support Vance, DeSantis, or even Trump again in 2028, or at the very least will prefer them over supporting any Dem in 2028

getting back on my bullshit (drinking and playing ranked de_train on counterstrike 2)

What is wrong with North Texas? A Cybertruck “powered by prayer” Can you guess where this is parked? Just kidding! It’s a Cybertruck in North Texas, you already knew it’s directly outside a bar.

My new toxic work trait is that I will mute you for everyone without warning in meetings if you aren’t talking and there’s background noise. I do this whether I am leading the meeting or just listening. I’m so tired of the “hey someone has noise coming in, could you mute yourself?”

Ulbricht’s network may not have distributed lots of fentanyl (due mostly just to it not being as commonly intentionally dealt back then), but he’s definitely responsible for supporting and fostering the habits of tens of thousands of drug users that ended up falling prey to fentanyl later.

Can’t believe I slept on the benefits of having color paired socks for so long. Know when you’re missing a sock! Have an easily defined search object! It’s like CRC for your laundry.

Doubling prescription medicine costs.... man I can't wait to see how this impacts VA care, I'm gonna become the Joker on behalf of my mom.

I dunno - what does a space marine navy look like? I mean for oceans, not space.

im too tired to open pocket procreate, fill in the details with your imagination

Idk what to say about the Army because it'd be disastrous if only fascists signed up, but how can you ask someone to build a career where the dumbest majors in the National Guard, third rate 40k lore YouTubers, and a 14 year-old Bolivian named "The Cock Mangler" have veto power over your promotion?

CHOTINER: This game you like to play, what's it called? ME: Slay the Spire. CHOTINER: And you play it on the computer? ME: Yeah. Well, I also have it on my phone. I played another 300 hours. CHOTINER: And these other games in your Steam library. Have you finished them? ME: Now hold on a second,

everyone comes for oatmeal when the real issue is the raisins. put some chocolate or cinnamon or what have you instead and it's good but raisins are not a cookie ingredient

We're +570%.

Love to find out about the latest mass shooting via Counterstrike because the other team needed to take a timeout since they got emergency alerts to shelter in place.

This is insane celeb lore I've just learned. Still doesn't make up for the scientology bullshit, but damn.

I have been told the anti-Trump coalition needs to embrace Hanania, because he actually has the pull with right wingers due to being such a dirtbag right winger himself. My answer is twofold: First, no, he's a Nazi, I will never embrace that Second, his credibility is actually hurt if we embrace him

Kathy Hochul has the opportunity to cook so hard Paul Hollywood owes her a handshake

Please enjoy this history of the Vicksburg campaign in the American Civil War in meme format:

I've been on the internet since the AOL days of 1996-1997, when I wasn't even a teenager yet, so I have Seen Some Things. But what we're seeing in recent years with meme shooters is still a gut punch, and I hate that it requires being stepped in The Internet to even kind of get it.

The shooter did drop out of UVU, but is a third year student in the electrical apprenticeship program at Dixie Technical College according to NBC. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

internal report was probably real but is actually kind of normal. cop internal reports are frequently bugfuck insane for no reason

Coworker pic this morning, TX DMV system down statewide, apparently also impacting police ticketing system.

This is as they say "developing..." but a list of the currently known to be affected packages can be found here: www.aikido.dev/blog/npm-deb...

@sodrock.bsky.social yo have you heard of this game before? Systemic War by a dev I've never heard of. Apparently there's a demo out on Oct 13. Also lol they have George Friedman helping with marketing? www.youtube.com/watch?v=yegb...

stfu we’re not calling him that

Never ask SEAL Team 6 what happened to Staff Sgt. Logan Melgar, the Green Beret murdered in Mali by SEALs and Marine Raiders during a botched attempt to knock him out, tie him up, and sexually assault him in retaliation for his discovery of their corruption when he refused to join in the scheme

it's the same problem. we can solve tech problems by just Having An Insight, it is one of the core valued skills of the job. the fact that things that are not computers do not work like that, almost ever, is often hard to see

Btw, I worked at VA for three years during Obama's first term and know how to navigate the healthcare system as well as anyone. The tricks that used to work no longer do. Just not enough clinicians and staff to deal with everyone effectively.* *At least in Dallas (can't speak for other hospitals)

Baylor Scott & White handled my appendicitis Christmas of 2023, so big fan even if the surgeon was a *colossal* asshole (not in the moment, only during followups - to his staff as well) The VA system is getting absolutely overwhelmed though. My mom is trying to get care now and it's a nightmare.
