Same. It can be a real mix of factors especially when a patron expects that providing material support gives them a say, but that say is via influence, not any explicit structure, legal or otherwise.
The Poles have created a drone called the "Combat Duck," which looks like a swan — it is intended for use in surprise strikes and reconnaissance. It can travel up to 5 kilometers and carry a payload of 10 kilograms. defence-ua.com/news/poljaki...
MOTHERFUCKERS DOING HANDWRINGING POSTS ABOUT HOW BLUESKY LACKS TWITTER'S SECRET SAUCE. WHAT, THE CRYPTO SCAMS AND NAZI CHATBOTS? YEAH SURE HOMIE THAT'S WHAT THIS PLACE NEEDS.
Doesn't mean he'll get away with any of that, given his status as a bizarre negative-juice entity, but he'll likely try.
You can bet like hell that he's also been paying attention to all the things Trump is getting away with *fully illegally* so far; probably taking very careful notes of where the current de facto boundaries lie.
This is not a serious criticism, so *waves hands*, but what d'you think the odds would have been of it ending the way Yugoslavia did?
If we were talking about an ethnic minority who'd changed their name for whatever reason, using their birth name would obviously be recognised as clear-cut racism.
Ooooooh oh yes. Even the reverse ("offline while playing game x or y") would be acceptable!
Are there Daisy Canons though?

Man, like I said. Starting that graph at January 2025 is more or less the same as lying.
Boy, nobody better tell that guy about spaghetti and meatballs.
This take from someone else clarified things for me: Americans think US is a melting pot of previously homogeneous cultures. Lib Americans think this makes America great and right-wing Americans pine for the imagined homogeneity of the old country. Useful for both to deny multiculturalism elsewhere.
Much like "crab", industrial music is constantly re-evolving from first principles basically anywhere where there's a bunch of metal and plastic laying about
Your elective procedure theory was solid, but I feel like if it was truly trivial, they would have said something. That leaves us with a potential scenario of a moderate procedure with non-zero risk, with an unknown planning lead time, but probably not unplanned. What that could BE, no idea.
Hm, so we still don't have any actual confirmation outside hearsay but we DO have at least one flimsy attempt to stave off the rumour mill. I do still think that if anything serious happened to him it would leak faster than any leak in US history, but maybe something lower-key IS going on?
What was the result on people claiming the video of him at golf was a repost of something from two months ago?
I'd say "So, the deaf leading the deaf?" except that wouldn't be remotely fair to deaf people, who typically still have things like "morals" and "taste".
I'm more interested in seeing how the DoJ functions without him, since he appears to be their only lawyer.
If anything happens to Ensign does the DoJ just collapse entirely?
Oh my gosh, getting in touch with the BBB WORKED. PayPal is restoring my account and I should have access to my money again. If you are in the US or deal with the US PayPal and your account is randomly, without warning, and without explanation closed down, file a complaint with the BBB!
my strong feeling is that any particular community norm around communication is abusable. if you bar outright insults you just allow the gish gallop and the just-asking-questions as forms of aggression. all moderation requires judgement, and people saying they are just enforcing rules are lying
here’s a version where the POV is blacked out whenever the driver takes their eyes off the road
Both are good, but the one on the right is FIRE 🔥 dat scrollwork!
Dirt bike dirtbags!
replacing Batman fight onomatopoeiae with old midwestern brewery names
It had this setting at false already, for example.
Waterfox still not a dumpster fire for now!
The "BSKY IS DYYYYING!" crowd are, well, lol... but I do have some sympathy for people who want to log into this place and not have their feed cluttered up with so much DISCOURSE.
People saying Trump is dying or possibly dead, but I for one would urge caution, because it is quite possible a second healtbar will appear as he enters his second phase and a gargantuan centipede will burst forth from his torso, so be careful of his new sweep attacks and toxic buildup from bites.
TBH, I think it would leak almost immediately. This admin is the loosest ship the US has ever tried to float.
RFK is the first to know, and everyone else finds out when they find him tying Trump's body to the roof of his car.
What about his love for vacations?
What I learned from the USAID dismantling: speed is the most important thing in fighting back. Public heath dorks (myself included) have a tendency to want to be 100% accurate w citations blah blah blah. This is not the time. Call them what they are: fucking psychopaths who are going to kill people.
I've seen some of the guts of it and I still don't know why!
Menswear Guy, on the other hand, never shoots blanks.
It's like they've never heard of a catastrophic failure vs a progressive failure.
This isn't the first time lately that Zuck's company has embraced shit bordering on corporate-endorsed pedophilia either.
Panel 4 is a treasure.
On the utility of remembering history: Knowing what we did in, say, high school might not usefully inform our decisions most of the time in adulthood, but it's a damn sight more useful to have memories of those experiences than for the first twenty years of our lives to be a blank white fog.
(as others have pointed out, this *particular* article is suspect and the Cornell study seems more in good faith, but I think it'll be years before we get a decent answer on this anyway because the exposure history just isn't there yet)
The, uh, "irony" of a visibly inflammatory anti-LLM article using an AI-generated splash illustration is not lost on me.
Shit, half the time '-ai' doesn't even remove the summary garbage, at least in my experience.
This was true of Reagan. More recently, it was also true in the UK due to the 13-straight years of Tory rule. Average height among affected populations of kids dropped by over 2cm or 1".
I grow tired of people who still cling to the delusion that they can make skittish white rural MAGAs nibble grain out of the outstretched palm of their hand
Guitarwolf (while Bass Wolf was still alive too). I will not be answering questions on this.
That’s because conservatives tell each other it’s not cutting you off to say you can’t bring your same-sex partner to Christmas
"Pat, why do you carry that ridiculous 600mm lens on long hikes?" Buddy, I can see mountains reflected in the eyes of a trailside pika.
Kelpies.
Well, damn!
Sure. Okay. That. That's remarkably simple
RFKjr is personally responsible for more suicide than SSRIs. SSRIs are a net preventative. RFKjr hounded his wife to her death.
My first thought too, lol
I am a broken record about this, but the American intelligentsia convinced itself that a debating salon was the model of how the free marketplace of ideas was supposed to work, and they are about as wrong as you can possibly be about something, and the consequences have been catastrophic.
Based on casual search results, that seems to be the common understanding of that acronym (especially given ongoing current events). While there might be some other more obscure and horrible meaning, the average person is likely just going to take it at face value.
Really curious what the U-curve looks like for divorce over time, which years show more divorces than others. Anecdotally it seems like 5-15 years of marriage, and to a lesser extent 5-25 YoM would be the main period of elevated divorce numbers?
YES, FFS. Hobby horse of mine - that time DID SUCK for western Europeans compared to what they had before. It's valid to say that sometimes shit does in fact get steadily worse when we fuck up badly enough, long enough! History is not some magical candyland of perpetual forward progress!
More like Heaven's Gate... 😬
Main screen turn on.
Wife and I saw this just now and our response was saying "Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh" at length, in perfect, unprompted harmony.
Get in, loser, we're laughing at the NYPD!
A progressive Democrat flipped a staunchly Republican seat in *Iowa*— won it by 10 points, in fact— by running *As A Progressive* focusing on issues of education, and making housing, child care, and health care affordable. Stop running to the right. Stay left, and fight.
So did Mario Lemeiux

In case you missed it in the comments:
The affected class here is LORGE. Take a look to see if you qualify for ripping a strip off these dickwads!
"the makers of AI aren’t damned by their failures, they’re damned by their goals. [...] They want to create a new kind of mind, so they can force it into mindless servitude. Their dream is to invent new forms of life to enslave."
I tried to come up with a good lachsschinken pun and failed. Alas, I am butt a ham.
I find this essay compelling and one big takeaway is all LLM production is a hallucination and understanding the risk of error is essentially impossible because the set of errors is unbounded.
This incident is much the same. A lot of effort is being spent on convincing the LLM not to push things to prod when you could instead make it technically impossible for the LLM to push things to prod and set that up from the jump.
LLMs are unbounded, but weighted string generators. The universe of possible strings is infinite and thus the number of *possible* errors is also infinite, and adjusting weights or pre-prompting the model simply make some errors more or less likely.
When you're doing transfer pricing audits versus when you stop doing those because they're expensive and time consuming and instead focus on EITC and easy to catch shit because that's what you have money for in enforcement
Because some people haven't heard it yet: PAYPAL IS NOT A BANK, DO NOT LEAVE MORE THAN A COUPLE HUNDRED DOLLARS SITTING IN YOUR ACCOUNT AT ANY TIME. MOVE IT TO YOUR BANK ACCOUNT IMMEDIATELY. Paypal can and will close your account and steal all your money without warning. And have done MANY times.
The three modes of political theory: "Would you look at this shit" "I've got a fix for this shit" "Do you have any idea how far back this shit goes"
I am happy to share living space with centipedes and spiders for their solid service in pest control, but yeah, playing host to them with my hair (or any other part of my body!) would be about a hundred yards too far.
I really hate the term "sideloading". I preferred the original term, which was "installing software on a computer that you own"
Dave Walker nails the 'migrant crisis' coverage perfectly
Oh man, please do threaten me with a good time!
They gonna paint a line down the middle of every factory, with the left half representing the ownership portion Trump's stolen by decree.
ATTENTION AI USERS. I HAVE DRAWN A SAD FACE ON A ROCK. PLEASE GIVE ME 8 BILLION DOLLARS SO I CAN RESEARCH DRAWING A HAPPY FACE ON A ROCK. THIS IS THE ONLY WAY TO KEEP THE ROCKS FROM RISING UP AND KILLING US ALL PROBABLY.
RIP to end zone dances.
Oh hell yeah.
Yeah, the hours are ludicrous, but I don't know if that's the guy thinking he could run a restaurant on an 8-hour day (lol) or if Shoprite constrains the hours. Though you can easily argue that he should have checked that before picking that location!
Yeah, like, he doesn't even need to be particularly stupid - restauranting is HARD!
An incidental benefit of bikes being standard-issue from the event (and out of the hands of the cyclist teams) would be that they couldn't engineer bikes with cheaty shit! (yes, this is a real problem - secret electric motors hidden in the frame have already happened a couple times now!)
Jesus, beer's been destroyed!
I'm old enough that, while I do remember Trolls, Furbys, etc., Labubus most remind me of Monchichis.
This panel comes to mind... frequently. (you might even say it keeps happening)
This is nine years after the destruction of Tenochtitlan. However, while Spain’s colonies were illegitimate, the territory Ivan conquered is now an integral part of Russia and its irresponsible war mongering to suggest otherwise
Walz: "It boggles my damn mind that in the midst of a military takeover of our cities, the flaunting of the rule of law, that the press finds the need to talk about, 'Oh, there's a division in the Dem Party.' There's a division in my damn house & we're still married and things are good. That's life"
Called it guard.io/labs/scamlex...
Pretty sure that already ran a risk of that! 😬
The time he pit two haters against each other for an IRL punch-up was a hell of a high water mark for shitpoasters anywhere and everywhere, but I feel like it's not *impossible* to top.
