I was using a 2012 “vintage” minitower PC that originally came with Win7 as a crappy little plex/local FTP/Minecraft server, and I had been wanting to try MacOS after not seeing it for a while, so I got a Mac Mini with an M2 in it, and while I’ve hardly stressed it, it seems really nice. It’s small and completely silent, and if I did want to use it more, Apple has certainly tried to keep their walled garden pretty and well-organized.
“Tower, can we get a speed check?” another user joked, referencing a frequently posted meme referencing the SR-71 spy jet. (For the curious, the ISS orbits the Earth at a ground speed of 17,100 mph, while an average passenger jet travels at around 500 to 700 mph
, depending on conditions.)
It’s the “whoosh” of providing the additional context as though it were getting to the real heart of the joke that makes it look bad, and simply linking to that copypasta comment like they did to the one above it would have helped.
Some highlights:
“They seek nothing more than some modicum of due process and the rule of law,” wrote Biery.
He said the case of Conejo Arias and his son “has its genesis in the ill-conceived and incompetently-implemented government pursuit of daily deportation quotas, apparently even if it requires traumatizing children."
“Civics lesson to the government: Administrative warrants issued by the executive branch to itself do not pass probable cause muster. That is called the fox guarding the henhouse. The Constitution requires an independent judicial officer.”
“If you have nothing to hide…” always assumes some modicum of goodwill, or at least restraint, from those doing to the looking.
Naaah, fill it up with weird saber-tooth deer meat. We already know that shit’s irresistible to Wookiees.
I’ve never had a BC, but I have had a sheltie, and Aussi, and a couple of Heelers. The Heelers in particular just treat you like a cow and boop and nip as necessary to make you do what they want. They are brilliant too, but not subtle and don’t seem to view challenges as amusing for their own sake.
If a BC is the master thief carefully working the treasure chest with a lock-pick, the Heeler is the tank who just bashes the thing open, traps be damned, but they’re smart enough to remember to chug a bunch of potions first.
Excellent! And just so I don’t send you off on a wild goose chase, “Electron” is not the app’s name, just the platform (a browser wrapper, basically) that VIA uses for its desktop app. It’ll be on VIA’s github page, if not their main page. Glad you got it all squared away though. That’s a truly silly default keymap for what I understand is a super nice keyboard.
Herding dogs assume they’re smarter than humans. Border Collies are probably right.
Should’ve been with prejudice, as they were so clearly malicious prosecutions.
I believe those motions are still pending.
Dirty NFL secret? Dak is very easy to root for.
Jags fall ass-backwards into a win. They aren’t great, but maybe they’re good?
Free football in Arizona. Coen overthought himself and turned down a FG to potentially go up 6 with 98 seconds left.
Jags @ Cards
Continuing a running theme, we’ve already had good Trevor and bad Trevor for the Jaguars this game, and it’s still the first quarter.
Yup. I’m sure Truth Social will go nuclear on Mamdani about two minutes after his next meeting with Steven Miller.
Just in case you’re still looking…
Somebody should remind Trump of how many Nobel Peace Prizes Neville Chamberlain has.
For a while it was four, but then Nazi Spanish Inquisition pope died.
Very cool, but is anything as cool as that Space Wars Computer Space cabinet in the same scene?
some of them taking home north of $250,000 for office-based shiftwork
Sucking up resources and not actually shooting and teargassing innocent people? These are the least-awful people there!
Deep cut here, but the old Rocky and Bullwinkle had a “Fractured Fairy Tales” that was often pretty fun.
