What a coincidence. Our ginger went to the vet yesterday also. Here's a pic of a 16.5 pound orange guy in a normal sized cat tower.
This isn't my real picture. I'm a tortoiseshell.

But at the margin, isn't this *still* power that could be put on the grid? Tell me more about these fringe supply areas. Because if I ran a power generation company and could produce lots of cheap power, I'd want to put it on the grid and sell it at market rates.

This is colossal mess up. But it'll just get added to the pile.
I read this when I was in my 20s. When I had kids, I bought them a copy of the young people's version. I'm happy to say they read it, and it's still on their bookshelf.
Scrotum head. And his eyes are like testicles that don't hang evenly.
I'll say one thing, this moment has made it abundantly clear that what's needed are leaders who aren't afraid to articulate a fighting spirit. Local and State leaders who would be hardly known outside their areas are getting national attention as long as they stand up and fight.
I learned from the video that Mr. Big Balls doesn't know the difference between "adverse" and "averse". Minor pedantic point, I know. But it just makes me despise him even more.
Collard greens and black eyed peas on New Year's Day. What a coincidence that two vastly separate cultures both thought this up independently.
I run ollama locally for proof-of-concept stuff with LangChain. For my purposes, it's good enough that I don't really need state-of-the-art paid models.
I'm honestly surprised that people are surprised by this. In the related domain of data science, there's an often quoted study from Gartner years ago that found 85% of data science projects fail.
I don't blame his mom. If I had a son like him, I'd be on drugs also.
but but but Mawmaw said if I grow a beard, nod my head, and talk with my hands I'll look smart.
This needs to stop being framed as wind, but rather just as power. The relevant thing here is the president decided to pull so many megawatts offline.
It's just branding meant to obscure their radical shift from voters who might have had some legitimate affinity for the GOP 25 years ago. They're counting on said voters not paying attention to anything but self-applied labels. This works for the same reason as shrinkflation in the grocery store.
I'm just an engineer but can still tell this is bad writing. It's that bad.
So WTF was god thinking when he was chosen to run the casinos, or the steak company, or Trump University? Because he sure AF wasn't perfect at those jobs.
Folks, stay tuned for the Pentium Gold edition.
The phrase "paleoconservative" was coined to describe the strain of right wing thought that's bent on deconstruction rather than preservation of institutions. Pat Buchanan was the first politician I remember being described this way, during his quixotic 90s presidential campaigns.
This key. People take Federal employment because they believe in the mission, and they swap higher pay in the public sector for stability. Now that the mission has been kneecapped, and stability is gone, recruiting is going to be difficult even if we shake off this administration.
This is 100% like saying I was talking to my wife and didn't take the call from my mistress...because it would have been disrespectful to my mistress
Why is Trump so deferential to this gadfly? Is it just the size of the audience she commands, or does she have something on him he's afraid she'll reveal?
I think JD's beard has its own account .
interesting that it takes someone outside the Federal apparatus to present a credible threat. Thank you for your transition to this platter.
Given that this is the easiest and correct answer, you'd think this would be straightforward. But Trump's stupid, corrupt and transactional. So his first instinct is to keep everything open to negotiation, even things that should never be negotiable.
Interesting read, especially since I'm in Michigan. Haley Stevens is my US Representative, and Mallory McMorrow is my Michigan Senator. I'm 100% behind McMorrow. I'm still disappointed that Haley Stevens won the primary against Andy Levin in 2022.
Just an honest labor statistician collecting the data, crunching the numbers, and reporting them fairly, and definitely not an extremist ideologue with an axe to grind, unshackled from respect for the law or political norms.
This concept should be familiar to anyone in a business setting, so I'm not surprised it's a foreign concept to Republicans. Businesses make rolling forecasts through the year. Under Trump's management, a business would discard the 3/12, 6/12, etc. forecasts and fumble along until year end.
What kind of Ouija board black Sharpie analysis is that? Smh.
PT Cruiser owners have given a collective sigh of relief.
Wait until the cartels figure out they can pay Trump 15% of their take and continue business as usual.
You've heard of William the Conqueror. Now we have Vladimir the Divide and Conqueror.
Ironically JD Vance has famously changed his name several times.
Sounds like something the Taliban would promote. Next step would be to require men to grow beards.
After all these were the guys who brought us the expression "eat your own dog food"
Bro needs to travel back in time and take it up with Ben Franklin when he designed the Connecticut Compromise.
These tariff and peace deals are always bilateral. It's unclear what Ukraine's position is. Looks like a US/Russia deal will be followed by a US/Ukraine deal? Kind of like I make a deal with the used car lot for them to buy my neighbors car. Only my neighbor has no say in the matter.
Wait, i thought it was the radical leftists that itching to nationalize private property?
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER
Just one step away from full-on "say hello to my little friend" cringe.
He knows the economy is in trouble, and is already advancing the story that the inevitable downturn is the fault of woke libruls.
I'm just glad they're not going back to whale oil.
I'm getting Dred Scott vibes, and we have a bunch of Roger Taneys on the Supreme Court right now.
For a minute I thought he was going to go Arnold Palmer on him.
ikr, the guy's a real life Gollum.
nice marmot
As another Republican said back in 2002: absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. And then there's Maxwell's historical problems with truth telling, so there's that minor point also.
there's a reason GoFundMe originated in the US.
Either a WalMart greeter or ICE agent. Either way I'm covered once Republicans do away with Social Security.
Dingle on the shingles
Is there anything slimy that hasn't been embraced by Peter Thiel?
❤️ this, and what's even more encouraging is the reaction of the crowd behind her.
Dealmaking is inherently bilateral, vague, unenforceable, and comes a couple of steps before the transaction is completed. There's a reason when you buy a house, you don't "make a deal", but you sign a contract instead.
Anyone else old enough to remember Jimmy the Greek?
If I ever own a boat, I'm going to name it "China Rider".
I honestly think he's adding percentages. If 3 separate polls show he has 20% approval, he pulls out his calculator and figures 3 * 20% = 60% Same with drug prices. If 100 medications decrease by 5%, that's 500% in his mind.
move fast and break things, amirite?
Even the code completion is not very good, whether it's on Databricks or Copilot or whatever. 80% of the time it just gets in my way. Sometimes it finds a missing bracket or comma. But I've found it can't consistently tell if I'm writing Pandas, PySpark or Polars because the syntax is so similar.
That's a single sentence, folks.
Higher education is one of the US's most successful exports. This is asinine.
Even a broken squirrel finds nuts twice a day. Or something.
This is the 224 pound guy who sells gas for $1.99/gallon. He thinks numbers are something he can make up depending on how he feels.
huh, now there's a strange coincidence.
ok, then why are you beating up Jay Powell over interest rates?
The 224 pound President, ladies and gentlemen.
It's going to be much harder to eventually dig ourselves out of this mess if the data collection infrastructure is gone when the grownups take the lead.
I'm convinced Trump thinks he has a superpower and can bend reality. We already saw this with his attitude toward collecting covid statistics. It's from his past connection to Norman Vincent Peale, who officiated at his marriage to Ivana.
Is this the "help" that Reagan was talking about in his asinine quip "I'm from the government and I'm here to help"?
My take is GenX stopped paying attention in the '90s because crime rates were too depressing. Now people in that age cohort extrapolate that crime rate trend to the present.
Here's my GenX take: People in the GenX cohort largely made decisions about where to live between the mid-90s and mid-00s. To the extent that crime was a factor in the decision about where to live, the crime stats at that time would have been skewed based on '80s and '90s trends.
Hey now, he only says he's Christian because he liked the sound of Palm Sunday. For some reason.
Finally something I can answer definitively. It did not work and the United States slid further into the Great Depression.
Someone needs to show me the isoquant curve for beef and bullshit. Because apparently, thanks to Trump, bullshit is a free good and beef has never been more expensive. My economic model is clearly broken.
Instead of being haunted by Banquo's ghost, he's gonna be haunted by Epstein's ghost.
learn it, know it, live it.
The art of...pulling numbers out of your 🍑
Great snakes!
if by "greatest" he means longest, then I agree. Otherwise not so much.
Covering a few points: * Hunter's neither an actor or a brand * He's never won an election * He's never even been a lowly speech writer * He has, however, traded on his last name * And Jake Tapper has a bigger audience than Hunter
when Vance talks about people whose ancestors fought in the Civil War, does he mean these guys?
> various pro-Trump actors filtering into Trump’s inner circle. Is this a typo? Suspect it should be pro-Russia. Thanks for the timeline and the reminder of the Trump administration's proclivity for disingenuous hair-splitting.
This is your brain; this is your brain on Tik Tok.
Anyone still on the fence about narcissistic tendencies?
he wasn't kidding, pretty soon we'll *all* be eating cats and dogs.
you can tell he's cracking, he left off the "THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER"
The difference is that MAGA supporters themselves have internalized that there's a conspiracy around the Epstein case. The Access Hollywood tape was about *Trump*. Epstein is about *them personally*.
Just think, the Republican party used to be known as the party of the busines-savvy.
Is this the same DoJ that had its investigative arm (FBI) working around the clock to find documents that mentioned Trump in the Epstein evidence?
TACO, in yet another context.
You left out: thank you for your attention to this matter In all caps.
Polars syntax is simpler than Pandas and a lot closer to PySpark.
I'm sure that, given enough time, this clown would eventually come around to inventing homeopath all over again.
I'm starting to think these Trump guys don't know that much about business.
The combination of extreme narcissism and LLMs make Dunning and Kruger look like optimists.
As a non-physicist, it's clearly batshit crazy to me also. We are in the age of the ignorant amateur, where the Dunning-Kruger effect is turbocharged by large language models and the results are broadcast over social media.
Person, woman, man, camera, TV. Now ask me about the nuclear and economics.
...and the Republican enablers in Congress were counting on the effects not manifesting until after midterms. Turns out businesses make plans based on forecasts.
If Vance wanted to live around people with whom he shares a common heritage, he should have moved back to his ancestral home in Kentucky. The fact that he didn't, and sought greener pastures at Yale and in Silicon Valley, proves the paucity of his argument.
Same approach as he took to covid. If you don't measure it, it doesn't exist.
Also the Zeffirelli Romeo and Juliet. Go 80s!
