This homeless character, who doesn't go to the gym and survives on junk food, somehow weights 300lbs of pure muscle
Maybe he just has good genes.

Astronauts attached hundreds of material samples to the outside of the International Space Station and left them exposed to space for years
The paper says 41 samples, not "hundreds".

Your email is almost full...
I hosted my own mailserver for many years. The biggest problem was dealing with spam. There was so much and no open-source tool really solved it. Eventually I gave up and switched everything to a fastmail account.

What helped you stick with an instrument as a kid?
Get a tune stuck in your head so the only way to get it out is to play it. The trick is to listen to the tune right before you fall asleep or while you are sleeping. Once that tune is rattling around in the noggin, you have no choice but to run to an instrument to release it.

Walmart fires 6'4" cisgender woman threatened by man who thought she was trans
Why was the man who was threatened by her in the women's room?

actually serious
I think the media coverage drop off is due to her getting older (and thus more "ordinary" - less newsworthy), and due to her not changing her issues or opinions much (and thus there is nothing "new," to report). Our newstainment system wants new and fresh and cute. Not serious and persistent.

Isn't he a big drug user? Does he really mean "war on poor people?"

What opinions about the tech industry do you feel comfortable expressing here, but not in public/at work?
Most of the high visibility "tech bros" aren't technical. They are finance bros who invest in tech.

House Republicans exploring ways to prevent Mamdani from being sworn in as NYC mayor if he wins on Election Day
Congress has to meet, and they already said it won't until sometime in January. Within minutes of opening the session Johnson will be challenged for the speaker position and the house will devolve into chaos for another few weeks. It won't be until February before they are able to take any action about anything.

Perfect
I was in a computer store a few years ago watching a young guy trying to sell a tablet to an older woman. He said "the good news about this is that it can't get viruses because it runs apps".

Such a stable mind...
When you surround yourself with yes men who only tell you what you want to hear, this happens.

What’s With All the Trumpy VCs? The tech industry is still mostly blue. But things are definitely changing.
White. Male. And Yale. These bros have never actually worked for a living. They don't really know anything about tech. They just jumped into that market to grift because they were born rich and that is what they do. In years past they'd have been trading tea, or loaning money to poor farmers then taking their land

Anon is 33
It sounds like you'd be comfortable in prison. There is probably a Luigi to-do list somewhere you could pick a name from and then arrange to join him in a neighboring cell.

Dammit!
That has happened to me before. Also: we did a reorg and the team you were interviewing with no longer exists. Also: the manager who made you an offer was fired, so we are rescinding your offer.
