Also the UN: this “Star Wars” picture looks like a bit of a hit!

The K Hive?

There are many stories of people being confronted with the fact that their beloved grandfather or uncle or whoever had been a nazi who killed hundreds of people in the holocaust. Should we soften the discussion of that evil to protect the feeling of their descendants? This man’s children should live with the fact that every comfort they have in life was purchased with the blood and tears of people their father considered worthless.

I know this is more of a meme community but in all seriousness that is the absolute ideal attitude for a president to have. “I’m here to do something and once I’m done I’m out.”

Whether he or anyone else holds to that is a different matter, of course.

“Don’t need to use that kind of language? Be glad I’m using my words at all you miserable sack of shit!”

I’m really glad to hear someone confirm that. I see that ask and it seems utterly ridiculous.

Well, except REAGAN of all people, who told them to settle the fuck down on Lebanon, called it a genocide, and got the IOF to back off.

Ronald “AIDS is no concern, fuck the working class” Reagan was better on Israel than Joe Biden.

A couple years back I saw a tweet from a therapist saying that something like 90% of their patients would not need therapy if they made more money.

And Dodd-Frank was passed as a weak facsimile of the previously-repealed Glass-Stegall act that was written after the Great Depression and effectively prevented any major financial collapses for 70 years.

It’s literally titled Slaughterhouse-Five, Or the Children’s Crusade. /s

In seriousness, I started reading Vonnegut at 11-12 years old. It’s not Dr Seuss but preteens can definitely read it.

There’s an Australian company basically reconditioning old canon powershots with new batteries and memory card connections: https://lola.camera/

I worked for Apple for 12 years, most of that as a liaison between front line hardware service locations and AppleCare engineering. Battery swelling is a normal Li-ion failure mode that is not related to leaving a device connected to its charger. If Apple had any evidence of that they would decline warranty service on swollen batteries based on the system report of how long it was connected to external power.

The Magic Mouse has the charging port on the bottom because the first gen model used AA batteries and not a built in rechargeable battery. When they moved to the rechargeable battery model, they didn’t want to redesign the whole thing so they put the port on the bottom. It’s bad enough design that Tim Cook uses a Logitech.

Battery swelling in lithium ion batteries occurs due to age, not leaving batteries charging. The battery is designed to stop charging between 95-100% and it has a built in processor to do that.

Regarding the power button and leaving the computer turned on, there are multiple reasons someone might want to turn a computer off when they are not actively using it.

Man, if only a candidate being a moron who kept embarrassing themselves was disqualifying in the USA.

I’m sure she’s far from perfect but so far I really like this new Mexican president.

Candace Owens and Dan Bilzerian as well.

To be fair I’m pretty sure Candace Owens is an antisemite first and a critic of Israel only because of that. Same with Dan Bilzerian, he apparently blames the Jews for the holodomor (the Soviet genocide against Ukraine.)

I’m all for people who experience attraction to children and realize there is no moral or ethical way to fulfill that attraction getting the help they need. I’m also all for people like the ones in these Facebook groups getting the brick to the face they need.

It also just functions to launder their money. If you can name a philanthropic organization it’s probably structured as a tax shelter for one or several billionaires.

There is a link between tariffs and food prices, the vast majority of American agriculture is mechanized and the machines and their parts are mostly manufactured overseas. As are the trucks that account for a huge percentage of the distribution network.
