The bill has a poison pill -- it allows Trump to shift funding. So yes, judges on vacation bad, but the bill effectively authorizes the behavior of the meme department.

I read this recently and was surprised how much I loved it.

Not in the US, but that LLM didn't know that.

I thankfully walked out of the room, but overheard part of a press conference where Trump was ladeling the blame on the FAA's DEI policies; how the FAA was hiring disabled people and that lead to this crash.

I need to find an alternate radio station for my dog to listen to. No one should have to hear that bullshit.

Cannon can because there are two non-dismissed cases that are referenced in the report.

The federal government is still pursuing those cases... Which is interesting, because if Trump did nothing wrong, there's no case to pursue.

So, of course Cannon has blocked the release. At this point, Republicans win if they stall enough.

Yeah, but Zachary Levi has also gone outspoken anti-vax and conservative-to-the-point-of-crazy.

Which is sad, because I loved him as Chuck but apparently failing to break out after Shazam went to his head.

My spouse and I opted not to tell our kid last year, with me not wanting to be the one to spoil it and her wanting to keep the magic "just one more year."

This year was already too late. The kid got into an argument at school about whether or not Santa was real.

My spouse and I planned it all out, planned on going out to get a hot cocoa, etc., etc. Instead my kid sat ME down and said they wanted to ask me something. So I got stuck telling answering that Santa wasn't real, but spun it that it was about learning to give without getting, and ended up pulling out Death's SPEECH from Hogsfather about believing in big lies.

The kid mostly cared that they'd still get presents, so it was a bust.

I still think about the episode where John walked into his stock trader and randomly bought rights to some kind of seafood (shrimp, I think), explains why, then sells it -- at a huge profit. It was this little moment that explained why John could just "do stuff" and didn't need a job.

Also, it made my hate working forever, but I don't know enough to not have to. Yet.

My universe has just expanded.

I gave my at-the-time eight-year-old my older Ticwatch. They had no interest in the step tracking or even what time it was -- they used sleep tracking as an excuse to wear the watch to bed and play games on it.

If the Syncup has some sort of parental controls, or if your child has some sort of impulse control, you might not suffer the same fate. BUT the question I'd ask is why a watch, smart or otherwise. Will the kid actually set and listen to alarms, do you want to be able to send them messages, have they benefitted from knowing what time it is? (parenting hard, I am not a professional, do what works for you and yours)

Hate the idea of the former in a private setting, would like in a business setting. Absolutely adore the idea of directions (drove a car with a "heads up" display but it only integrated with the dreadful in-car navigation system and yet it was still awesome)... But player stats dangling over people's heads? That maybe my kid without AR glasses wouldn't be able to see and I could be the cool parent again? Awesome.

 

I just received an unexpected SLA printer from what I had assumed was a failed Kickstarter for the "Coolsiga FinderOne" or C1 or Classic. The manual is clearly intended for someone who has some context, but my past experience has been entirely FDM based.

I'm not claiming it's a good manual by any stretch of the imagination, nor am I confident that it will work -- but is there an "Dummies Guide to SLA Printers" I can read through to at least know what it's talking about?
