  • US president says 'probably' when asked if he might pull US troops out of Italy and Spain

  • Don't tempt me with a good time...

    As long as Europe militarizes in response to fill the gap (read some stories about the decades of reliance on US suppliers for arms. Technology, etc. last week that shows lots of work to be done before EU is back in fighting shape).

  • Frank Sinatra, Janet Leigh and Laurence Harvey in 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑴𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒉𝒖𝒓𝒊𝒂𝒏 𝑪𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒊𝒅𝒂𝒕𝒆 (1962)

    Jump

  • Such a great film. My 2nd favorite after Strangelove for the genre and time, but rare is anyone who's seen this one by comparison!

  • Knicks 72 Hawks 22 in 1st half with 4 minutes to go

    Jump

  • I saw that score and then heard there was fighting. I'm sure the second half was even better...yikes Hawks

  • What book would you recommend to a person in their final days?

    Jump

  • HHGTTG, Les Miserables or Don Quixote.

  • Boils down to "we're so smart we don't need to think or evaluate our thinking anymore". Anyone who can look around the world and try to push that line aping an oligarch's fantasy of going back to serfdom.

  • Gambling ads on social media reach more than twice as many men as women

    Jump

  • There it is. Had been wondering who the creator of this solution to a problem with many better solutions was and why this was the answer and outcome, it's so much more base and low than I suspected.

  • The gold standard of optimization: A look under the hood of RollerCoaster Tycoon

    Jump

  • Interesting article! You should cross-post to some retro gaming communities, I'm sure they'd love it. I still never okayed this game as it came out when there was too much heat in Sims in the 90s, but probably would have enjoyed it more than some of the sim games I did play.

  • U.S. Mint Buys Drug Cartel Gold and Sells It as ‘American’ | As prices for the precious metal soar, the industry’s guardrails have broken down.

    Jump

  • Broken down implies they were effective to begin with and as prices soar that this is recent, which it's unlikely to have been.

  • Turing Test 2.0

    Jump

  • Is that the Half-Life G man representing humanity? Glad he came around.

  • GitHub Copilot is moving to usage-based billing

    Jump

  • Which brings the model back to AI. All businesses have accomplished was basically add an extra step in actually forcing themselves to pay for what they actually need every so often. Instead of Sr>jr>offshore>sr. they now just added in AI to the loop.

    Not that charlatans care, as long as they get theirs in the interim.

  • What was your "we have to leave now" moment?

    Jump

  • "no offense but", classic Seattle. I was on a different continent but heard your Seattle condescension sound and clear.

    You kind of seem desperate to brag about how cool you think you play situations; different countries and cultures and everyone's risk tolerance is different. You should start a thread about how cool you are and share with a Seattle community, they probably are cooler and did it first.

  • What was your "we have to leave now" moment?

    Jump

  • You're trying to correct something and are uninformed, not adding a ton to the convo.

    "A spoon is frequently used in the preparation of certain drugs, primarily heroin and crack cocaine. For heroin, a spoon serves as a heating vessel to dissolve the powdered or tar form of the drug. Heroin is often mixed with water in the spoon, and heat is applied from underneath with a lighter to facilitate dissolution, to create a liquid for injection. A small piece of cotton or a cigarette filter is sometimes placed in the spoon to act as a filter, drawing the liquid into a syringe while leaving behind impurities.

    Crack cocaine, a rock-like form of cocaine, can also be prepared using a spoon. Powdered cocaine is mixed with baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) and a small amount of water in the spoon. This mixture is then heated, causing a chemical reaction that separates the cocaine base, forming an oily mass that solidifies into crack cocaine “rocks” upon cooling. While crack is primarily smoked, the spoon is used in this “cooking” process to transform the powder into its smokable crack form."

  • 2am subway station in Vienna. Had been drinking all night, really had to pee. Walked in to the bathroom, saw dude with a spoon and a lighter doing his crack thing and did a sweet 180 Michael Jackson spin on my rear heel and was out the door before it even closed from my opening it.

    Had never seen anything like that in real life but didn't need to look twice.

    Jump

  • "the arm patch, disposal of and disdain for law, security and privacy, alignment with fascists...all of that seems pretty innocuous and normal but when we bored into FDAs data, wow, that really opened my eyes"

  • Does reading do us any good?

    Jump

  • A weird title for a piece talking about two writers who both extolled and advocated reading, just with different reason and expectation behind the outcome.

    Reading the summary here they both seem like unoverlapping takes that can both be true.
