I get more people saying to me “wow you’re very tall” to which I respond with “yes and you are very observant” which I feel is funny in the moment but is just condescending enough to make them realize it later on.

Artemis vs. SpaceX
Ok I’m going to be that guy who sounds like a musk fanboy but rest assured I fucking hate that Nazi. That said, people don’t care about spacex launches because they have become so routine as to be boring.in a historical context there came a point where people stopped caring about airplanes because they stopped crashing. This is good. Rockets becoming reliable enough to become boring and routine is a net gain for humanity. I just wish spacex weren’t owned by that goose stepping fascist

Taking it slow
So yes there is unfortunately a small number of people in the corporate world who need that specific training but what it mostly is is plausible deniability for the company. In case you do get your password stolen or some such the company can then turn around and say that you had the mandated security training which makes it easier to let you go. It’s all so they can cover their asses

What's the coolest thing you found while metal detecting?
I have an actual answer. I bought a metal detector and naturally I set to work in the backyard to see if I could find anything cool. Well I don’t know if you think rusty nails and bottle caps are cool but I sure found a lot of those. I did find a lot of good time to practice though.
Fast forward a few months, I had branched out to local parks and such and hadn’t revisited the backyard. We were having some landscaping done which included digging up some tree stumps. For a lark I ran the detector over one of the holes a stump had come out of and I got a hit. Not just a hit but a hit that registered the same as a pre-1964 quarter. Silver.
After a little digging I pulled up a pair of vintage ww2 aerial gunnery wings! (Note: these aren’t the ones I found but they are very similar)
Not sure how I had missed them or what they were doing there but best I can figure is that since the house dated to the late 1950’s some kid grabbed his dads wings from the war and managed to lose them in the backyard and was never able to find them. Sad for dad but cool for me I guess

Anyone know what this skillet is?
This is a nickel plated griswold. Nickel plating is something they did at the factory on some skillets because there was some section of the population back then who were obsessed with nickel plating.
As far as the center logo being gone, there was a time when natural gas piped to the home wasn’t as refined and still had sulfur in it and during combustion it produced a minute amount of sulfuric acid which over time caused pitting in the bottom of skillets

Iran is 'confident' it could counter a U.S. ground invasion, foreign minister says
I think this war is as dumb and pointless as the next person but obviously Iran would say this. It’s not like they’re going to publicly broadcast to the world how weak they are and that they absolutely could not hold off an American ground invasion
