  • His cancer was absolutely terrible. I wish it on no one. Dude's bones were growing daggers into his flesh and tearing him up from the inside and there's little anyone can give to ease that kind of pain.

    I mean, he's no saint and I'm sure he's got a nice place in hell waiting for him. But damn, that kind of cancer is the stuff nightmares are made from.

  • Former New York City Mayor Rug Pulls Community? Eric Adams' NYC Token Plunges 81%

    Jump

  • Why are all these politicians so interested in Crypto?

    One can only wonder.

    Analysis shows that a wallet linked to the token’s deployer removed approximately $2.43 million in USDC liquidity shortly after the peak.

    Yeah so this is classic rug pull. Hype, get it into retail, have automated buy in, pull liquidity. Maybe put it back a bit and pocket the fees for retail going crazy.

    I read somewhere on here someone say "people wouldn't have enough time to get scammed." A lot of this is all bots buying, including small time players who are just using something like Freqtrade python scripts for buying and selling. No one is doing actual research, they're just a program watching microtransactions. Thirty minutes is eternity.

    But yeah, this is exactly why you see so many bros so strong on this and why politicians and Governments are getting into it. The early days are like the early days of completely unregulated stock markets. It's cash grabs everywhere. Down the road, there's going to be this moment of ladder pulling to "keep everyone safe".

  • The Soviet Union isn't actively moving a part of it's nuclear arsenal to the island.

    The entire aspect of the crisis was weapons that could actually reach mainland US.

    At the moment, no one who borders the Gulf of Mexico has weaponry that could reach say Miami or say Texas City a more strategic point.

    So there's a sense of security by distance in the United States. Now the thing is, this whole thing changes the second any one of these nations procure a medium range weapon. That was the missile crisis. The US found out the USSR was trying to send long range missiles that could strike deep inside US territory.

    The same would be true here. The second any of these nations obtain a missile that can hit the US the whole calculus changes.

    Can you imagine? "Oh yeah, we invaded Venezuela but they have the ability to start blowing up condos from their own nation." People would be a whole lot more upset than they are currently.

  • Developers remain willing but reluctant to use AI: The 2025 Developer Survey results are here

  • It's still very meh. Like does anyone remember those visual studio wizards for doing something? AI tools are about that good, roughly. But the difference is, you still have to review everything with the AI tool because it'll still make mistakes.

    I use AI maybe once or twice a month, but it's far from, replaced my snippets with Ctrl+H replacing keywords.

    Man sues Tennessee county after he was jailed over meme related to Charlie Kirk killing

    Jump

  • This is a few counties over from where I'm at, but the biggest thing was Channel 5 News did an interview with the Sheriff and he basically admitted on air that the guy wasn't guilty.

    Like I can not stress how much the State's county DA and Sheriff have fumbled this case and basically handed this guy a blank check.

    And the thing is, while a majority of folks were okay at one point for punishing guy over his meme, the county has all but replaced all that with disgust how how terrible the cops have handled this.

    Like they're still upset about the meme, but nowhere near as upset with how self destructive the Sheriff's department has been.

  • this seems specifically designed to break mail-in voting

    This is specifically for doing that. Processing centers will be understaffed in heavily Democratic areas, Republican strongholds will have mail that magically gets a stamp fifteen nanoseconds later. Republicans can literally not win without resorting to cheating.

  • Clay figurine of a rooster, Greece, 5th century BCE

    Jump

  • Just think some person did that clay figurine thinking, "I can't believe people buy my shit." And now two millennia later, there's a whole team of curators trying to ensure this thing doesn't just fall apart while they put it on display for millions to look at historic art.

  • And this is why it's popular for children to swing in the corpse of the guilty. To serve reminder to those who may harbor similar ill intent. We are a society kept in balance by the reminders of our most gruesome displays to each other.

  • Bluesky suspending antifascist researchers for sharing publicly available information about literal nazis.

    Jump

  • Your example is people randomly sharing information. That is not the same as a Government entity after following the process outlined in the law, releasing information related to that Government action. We know who is awarded contracts, we know where tax payer money is going to, and so on because of disclosure requirements by Government entities.

    When an elected entity has acted in a manner accordance to law, that action ought to reasonably disclose the subject of that action. That's not to say 100% it always must be this way, but this is why we allow the public to comment on changes to those disclosure requirements.

    I would like for you to understand, there's a very fundamental difference between "random people" and "people via a method given power to rule over other people." That fundamental difference between the two is key to the point here.

  • Bluesky suspending antifascist researchers for sharing publicly available information about literal nazis.

    Jump

  • That doesn't change the aspect of it being censorship. It just means that a risk adverse company is risk adverse to the degree that they will employ censorship to maintain that aversion to risk. At the end of the day, it's censorship. The rationale for why they've employed it is notwithstanding.

  • Publicly available police reports.

    I'm completely against doxxing. But there were public reports. That's censorship.

  • Pentagon fails financial audit for 8th year in a row

    Jump

  • This is like a ton of things with the Government Accountability Office (GAO). The GAO is required to conduits audits and report failures to Congress. It's then up to Congress to hand out punishment. The problem is that the US Congress routinely lacks a spine to do anything.

    But this is also why DOGE is seemingly redundant here. Everything that DOGE did is basically the same thing the GAO does. The difference is the GAO reports to Congress and DOGE reported to the President. That said, the President cannot unilaterally cut spending to anything as the Constitution indicates that power belongs to Congress. This is where a lot of challenges to DOGE come from.

    However, those challenges mostly ended when Congress passed public law 119-28 which basically said all the cuts DOGE made were cool. However, there's still challenges about those order of operations there, in that DOGE can't have made the cuts until Congress said they were cool. And only on the date that Congress said they were cool with the cuts can they actually be cut. So money has to be spent for the in between time from when DOGE made a cut and when Congress said it was cool.

  • I stuck my camera up the ass end of an ICBM

    Jump

  • Liquid is good if the entire purpose of the rocket is to do something other than go up only and have no care about the down.

    Like SpaceX's Merlin engine is liquid. That's because it matters for that whole boosters landing thing. So the whole coming back down matters so liquid is really worth the complexity.

    Compare to say the Space Shuttle's SRBs. They went up, got jettisoned, and then just basically fell back down into the ocean to be recovered later. The whole down part wasn't that important.

    So you can see why things like ICBMs went solid. The whole down part isn't a big concern, well it is but for a different reason than what you would use liquid for.

    EDIT: And to be sure, there's more to it then this. Reasons to go solid vs liquid. But for the whole ICBM discussion, solid is better for many reasons, being less complex and cheaper factors into thing requiring going boom later on.

  • I stuck my camera up the ass end of an ICBM

    Jump

  • Yeah the injector plate is a bit of distance up the ass end of a Titan II. We're seeing the walls of the ablative skirt of the engine on the side and it gets fuzzy as it comes closer to the camera, I would assume.

    You can see what I mean better from a side view from Wikipedia.

    . The injector is roughly where the skirt meets the metal tub looking thing.
