Judy Woodruff was forced to publicly apologize because Trump and Bibi said they didn’t talk about delaying it, but I still think she was right:

I mean, I’d trust unnamed sources over these two guys any day.

The fun fact about Methylene Blue that always is a hit with students is it also turns your pee a green/blue-green color.

I wish this AI generated image would go megaviral

I’m still convinced the turning point was when Microsoft deprecated Skype for Business and merged the devs from that team with the ones working on Teams. My tinfoil hat theory is they brought their garbage Lync code with them and pulled seniority to somehow jam it into the new codebase.

This got me curious whether the milk would be any different and, if I’m reading this study correctly, there’s practically no difference in content

Said study: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/7462406/

Don’t forget, from 2014 to 2021, they had George W Bush’s Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on their board of directors.

I’m not entirely sure you’d want someone smoking around a large supply of oxygen, either.

To be serious, though, I’ve seen some places where they seal the entryway to a dedicated smoking room a bit better and vent the smoke outside. I feel like that would be safer/more practical than smoking booths.

It’s possible I just haven’t come across those types of comments you’re making fun of, but I usually just see people making the case that we don’t need new, possibly overreaching, legislation to handle these situations. They want to avoid a disingenuous “think of the children” kind of situation.

a youth court in the city of Badajoz said it had convicted the minors of 20 counts of creating child abuse images and 20 counts of offences against their victims’ moral integrity

I’m not familiar with their legal system but I would be willing to bet the crimes they’ve committed were already illegal under existing laws.

This and the Send Me to Heaven app (throw your phone as high as you can, higher height means higher score) were two of my favorite early apps clearly designed to mess with people buying expensive devices as status symbols.

I ran across software once that wouldn’t compile properly and the only documentation available was an archive.org hosted backup of an Intel help page that no longer exists. There is no alternative, Intel just removed it entirely.

My dad had the rare chance to name his position whatever he wanted, but the higher ups still rejected his choice of Grand Poobah.

I can’t access the research article “craic in a box: commodifying and exporting the irish pub” anymore, but there’s a decent enough Vice article that goes over it: https://www.vice.com/en/article/a3d8gb/why-irish-pubs-became-the-biggest-food-and-drink-export-since-mcdonalds

Basically corporations packaged up and sold the theme and decorations that made Irish pubs feel authentic.

I wonder if using AI/ML is just the natural evolution of that kinda thing.

Even better, infant body armor

This just reminded me of getting super cheap/nearly free ad-supported Kindle fires from Amazon, obtaining root access and installing a different ROM. They weren’t half bad spare Android tablets once you removed the adware.

I wonder how much impact there might have been on code quality when Elon forced lead devs from their projects at Tesla to work on Twitter. I’ve never seen a situation like that turn out well for either party.
