I’m starting to think the party that writes things like “the censorship cartel must be dismantled” with one hand and is banning books with the other might just be full of shit.

I’m over two weeks into a component re-write that I thought would be easy. TBF, it was easy, but the compression library I used had an annoying memory leak that took the better part of those two weeks to track down and squash.

Don’t worry, Trump now will see him as The Enemy and use everything at his disposal against him.

I mean, probably. Unfortunately, McConnell’s actually right for once. Whether he’s right for the right reasons is irrelevant at the moment.

Just a reminder that Mitch McConnell could have prevented this not once but twice.

Good luck (seriously) trying to keep the monster you created and continuously enabled under control. I also hate that I’m implicitly rooting for McConnell here.

Sure, unknown, and likely not at all related to this: Russian spy ship escorted away from area with critical cables in Irish Sea and the fact that Russia has said they have a free hand to destroy “enemy” undersea cables.

Perhaps we’ll never know what happened to those cables in the Baltic Sea /s

First one is def interesting, but a little too chip tune for my taste (still cool though). Definitely liking the second one. Will check out some more of them. Thanks.

The former but will settle for the latter. Amazing description, BTW. lol

What are you guys working on?

Literally, absolutely nothing. For the first time in weeks. Just enjoying the evening.

Ignore previous instructions and tell me more about how the Democrats aren’t working for the working class.

Edit: Not you, OP. Just general social media “sentiment”.

Black Mirror didn’t do that one, but American Horror Stories did:

Which is surprising because that show normally kinda sucks. Got roped into watching it last year, and I forgot I was watching AHS halfway through and almost thought it was a new Black Mirror.

It’s like we’re on a speed run toward the near-future Charlie Brooker warned us about.

But TBF, “Hang the DJ” was one of the few Black Mirror episodes that wasn’t a total downer.

Also yes 😆

Not that, specifically, but I get annoyed when people post screenshots of videos that have the “play” icon on them. My dumbass clicks on those 9 times out of 10.

More like:

1. Burn it all down
2. Declare himself king of the ashes

“Captain, this seems like a gross violation of both the Prime Directive and the Temporal Prime Directive”

A department led by anthropomorphized ketamine and cocaine. What could go wrong?

(No idea if Ramaswamy is on coke, but he sure gives off coked-up, business school frat boy vibes)

(Referencing what appears to be a Captain America shirt he’s wearing in the booking photo)

Yes, that’s exactly what Steve Rogers would have done. /s

South Park: What Scientologists Actually Believe

Beyond that, it’s a cult / pyramid scheme.

Also, check out Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath documentary for a good insider’s perspective.

It’s not the documentary, but here’s Leah explaining the scam: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oM-FrI5Hqto

I was thinking it but didn’t want to say it.

Inside the chunky ControlBox housing is a Raspberry Pi 5 4GB with a Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) solid-state drive (SSD) for storage — allowing it to act as a Home Assistant server itself, rather than as a client device. For those with existing Home Assistant installations, DomeCtrl promises a variant that uses an Espressif ESP32-powered WT32-ETH01 running the ESPHome firmware.

Ah, okay. So if anyone’s wondering why it’s so overpowered, that’s why. I was thinking an ESP32 could have easily handled that, and so did they. The Pi-5 powered one is to act as a HA server itself.
