They could, of course, also have been smuggling spectacles and failed explosively. 🤓

And 😙 is more like:

Apparently in algae bloom regions ships leave wakes that “can be seen in satellite radar images as long bright strips of enhanced backscatter with characteristic length of up to several hundred kilometres lasting more than 5 hours” according to this Russian Space Research Institute article.

I wish there was a “deliver ONLY during the weekend” option so you don’t have to have things delivered to your workplace because no-one’s home.

It was more like: “sure, I invited Epstein to my house, but you should see all the other rapists I’ve been inviting to my house. [Lists off a few names.] Raping children is widespread in New York.” I’m not even paraphrasing that much.

There were 200? I understand that is exactly the lowest genetic pool limit for avoiding unsustainable inbreeding. They are likely dying off, if not already gone.

What are these screenshots of?

The Kherson episode is distinct from an earlier report of an incident that purportedly occurred that same September, involving Crimea just to the south, and raised concerns about Musk’s ability to influence the conflict in Ukraine.

Pshaw. Wake me up when we get to The Telescope of Devastation.

Apparently thinking about “the shrews” or “rooster’s balls” or “the maternity of giraffes” or “pregnant birds” are also used.

Somebody claims it’s from Greek mythology where a crab is talking to Zeus and claiming he’s immortal because he doesn’t just walk forward but in any direction (time-travel like). I couldn’t find that myth, but there is one in which he gets… killed by Heracles for pinching his foot in a battle with the Hydra and gets placed among the stars by Zeus’s wife as a reward for loyalty.

If there is an origin to the saying I don’t think anyone knows it or thinks of it anymore. It’s just a ridiculous/inexistent thing to think about, like those other examples above.

Nobody cares. Not even MAGAts truly care about this anymore, judging by reactions on what became of thedonald.

“Who’s signal is this?”

“Oh, it’s that guy with the metal strips. His address is on a post-it note somewhere around here.”

“The American tech stack should be the global standard, just as the American dollar is the standard by which every country builds on,” Mr. Huang said during a podcast recorded last week in Washington with the Special Competitive Studies Project, a think tank.

Mr. Huang delivered that same message to Mr. Trump last week in the Oval Office, two people familiar with the meeting said. Mr. Sacks was seated nearby, lending his support. By the end of the nearly hourlong meeting, Mr. Trump said Nvidia’s chips could return to China.

Mr. Lutnick said on CNBC that the approval was linked to ongoing trade talks with China, which recently agreed to supply rare earth magnets to American companies. The idea was to sell Chinese businesses Nvidia’s fourth-best chip, he said, so that “they get addicted to the American technology stack.”

Ok, I see. I don’t like that approach, myself. It feels like a short term gain that would turn negative in the long term, when nothing has credibility anymore.

First time I heard of that and it would be strange for a buyer to become a supplier. “Everyone is saying it.” Are you trying to muddy the waters with fake rumors?

Kind of an aside, but I had no idea that concrete ships were a thing. Not ships carrying concrete, but ships made of actual reinforced concrete, like a building: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLYLBPg56TA

Symptoms of [nitrite] poisoning can vary depending on the amount and duration of the exposure. Those with very mild methemoglobinemia might not have any symptoms at all, or might appear a little pale and feel tired. Moderate-to-severe poisoning is associated with cyanosis (blueness of the skin), confusion, loss of consciousness, seizures, abnormal heart rhythms, and death.

It’s it supposed to be special in some way?

Europe will probably respond, but it doesn’t have to use the exact same coin.

No need to do anything to Putin, everyone. Trump will punish him. Just two more weeks, you’ll see. /s

Bible: “Jesus says to love your neighbor.”

MAGA: “Why do you have to make it political?!”
