Ronald is indescribably more important than any tech billionaire could ever hope to be. So let's raise a glass and give out a hardy thank you to all the Ronalds of the world!

I guess they read the silmarillion, but understood not the words they read.

Not to mention the first flight of Operation Babylift was a complete disaster, the second accident and first fatal accident of a C-5 Galaxy. Caused by explosive decompression from poor maintenance of the rear cargo door, 78 children were killed in the ensuing crash. It remains the third deadliest accident involving a US military aircraft.

Of course. It's a Subaru Impreza WRX. Heck, looks to be a bugeye if my eyes don't deceive me. I probably did that when I got my first WRX...

Hello Chinese state-actors, I hope this message finds you well: Free Tibet! Free the Uyghurs! Taiwan is a sovereign state! The nine dashed line is bullshit! China is a capitalist fascist state!

I will legitimately go esc, :w, i on Google Docs to try and save the document...

Similar experience for my first time having they/them pronouns used IRL... I was mountain biking in full body armor, full face helmet, and goggles. Someone said to their kid, "let them go ahead, they'll be really fast," or something. I proceeded to hit 48km/h on singletrack, a speed I haven't replicated since. So I guess I was given a speed boost by the comment?

LMFAO! The whole thing is some doublethink BS, but this line really got me!

The court noted that the Commission had failed to take into account that ⁠private ​jets could be flown ​on sustainable fuel.

Send word to the elves! the time has come. The sword of your forefathers must be reforged! You have my bow. Err the break of dawn, we ride!

I use it with Niri, please know, the community likes AI at least a few of the plugins are LLMs, doesn't default to giving you AI features, and it's fair to say a lot of commits are AI assisted. Whether or not that's a problem for you is your choice, but it is a problem for me and plan to not use it in the future. Regardless, it gets a tentative recommend from me. Its convenience factor of you just run one program to provide widgets, bar, notification daemon, clipboard manager, and such is really hard to pass up. Moreover, the common design language between all the components is quite nice with the color scheme system they provide working rather well.

Also worth noting, most Christian doctrines don't even believe in the Rapture, and it didn't come into theology until the 1830s.

Direction navigation in vim is hjkl.

When I first heard the term, I expected some real Nile Blue turning cardboard into estrogen type shit.

This isn't exactly new. And it didn't end well in the past either. After the completion of the Manhattan Project, a number of private entities begun building plutonium weapons. Notably, Rockwell International (yes, that Rockwell), ran a site outside of Denver called Rocky Flats. Ended up being one of the worst ecological disasters in American history. Plutonium will catch on fire, so there were a number of plutonium fires at the plant, but that wasn't the worst of it. Their disposal and treatment techniques were woefully inadequacy, and untold amounts of plutonium leaked into the environment. The EPA, CDPH, and DOE all knew about the process and did nothing. The FBI had to step in and raid the plant, and even still, it ran for years during court proceedings. Rather conveniently, those court documents were sealed, and later lost.

What is new here is the fact that the Trump administration already plays fast and lose with the rules. Moreover, random tech billionaires have no right so much as looking at the most dangerous substance in the world, weapons grade plutonium. So to say this will end poorly would be the understatement of the century.

P.S. Highly recommend reading up on the history of the DOE. The story of Rocky Flats, the national labs, and nuclear weapons program is so much longer and wilder than what I could put here.

As posts over in Piefed are saying, it was about the state's rights to have slavery. Very specifically, it was about the right for new states to have slavery. Till that point, the political divide was along slave states VS not slave states, a divide which partially exists to this day. As such, to maintain the balance of political power, each new territory added as a state would alternate between being a slave state and free state. However, with expansion into the west, a representation of progress and freedom, the federal government proposed a ban, not on slavery, but the enacting of new slave states. All existing Southern states would still have slavery.

Anyone have a link to download Control Tower Simulator X? Asking for a friend.

Even better, it was "hostage negotiation tactics."

If I had a nickle for every cold-war era strategic bomber that crashed yesterday... I would have two nickles. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

Nah, I saw salsa at first too.

I'm not a lawyer, but I'm pretty sure this would at a the very least be gross negligence on the part of the "AI" companies.
