I’ve seen that, plus a couple bumper stickers saying “FUCK Joe and the Hoe” where FUCK is spelled out jn the silhouette of rifles and handguns.

TIL about a PNW problem!

You want FEWER blackberries?

The heck is wrong with you?

More like “I am obsessed with GenZ doing this”

Did the shooter have a criminal history to screen for? I haven’t heard that if there was.

I think it would be infeasible to physically search the luggage of potentially thousands of people staying at the hotel. And they can’t tell all the hotel guests they can’t go into the hotel they paid for.

Did it get breached? I’m reading some places that the shooter was stopped far from the event, on a different floor of the hotel, outside of a security check he would have had to get through to get to the event.

I work in a USA manufacturing plant that has nine figures worth of EV motor manufacturing lines cancelled, sitting around collecting dust since the new administration changed all the regulations and incentives.

Large News orgs like the NY Times and kind of indie news like The Intercept have official encrypted channels for sending tips. I would send to 2-3 large news orgs, maybe a half dozen small ones. Tell all of them the whole thing will be dumped on Twitter in some time period so they should rush to get ahead of it.

And this is when they are not on a holiday, which are myriad.

TIL that song is by Queen. I had no idea. So definitely an appropriate song for this discussion!

So the solution then, is to convince other people not to crave money power or resources.

Why do we need a new calculus book every 3 years? Calculus isn’t fucking changing!

There should be one public domain calculus book used by every college and if teachers want new homework problems there should be FOSS software to randomize the numbers and email out fresh problems.

The bullet could have hit the podium, which caused a bunch of bits to blow off, one of which cut his ear.

Edit: I read this theory in the reporting when it happened, and it was never really addressed or officially denied or dismissed later on.

Unconfusable:

Ready, Set, Go!

We should explore space with semiautonomous robots. We can do space exploration at maybe a quarter of the cost of sending humans to do it.

Flood Mars with exploratory rovers for years. Then mining robots. Then manufacturing robots. Have them build facilities that build more robots to expand the process exponentially .

Then, if we decide it’s even worth it at that point, have them build a city and send people.

I went to Paris once, and despite everything I had heard my whole life, if you start off with a Bonjour and end with a Merci, in between, the locals are almost all perfectly happy to speak English with you.

I’m sure I say these things with a thick American accent so they all know not to continue too much further in French.

When the rules do not apply to you, you have to keep on publicly demonstrating this or else you lose it.

I preferred Minesweeper

I vote for the side that doesn’t raise an army of lawless unaccountable masked gunmen raiding homes without warrants and executing people in the streets.

But the two parties are just the same!
