Given recent events, some gun manufacturer should make a gun with a built in engraving printer. You just sync it to your phone, and you can type in whatever messages you need on your shells before you fire them.
Nothing screams strength and character than having a mild inconvenience blown into a national spectacle.

Charlie Kirk went out the way he wanted for all Americans: in service of the Second Amendment. I will mourn in the same way he mourned victims of school shootings.
TRUMP & EPSTEIN ARE SEX TRAFFICKERS!!! I’m gonna post this every day so nobody forgets exactly who Pedophile Trump is and why the Epstein files have suddenly disappeared.
I lost IQ points watching War of the Worlds 2025 edition.
28 years later continue the franchise's tradition of being utterly stupid. The ppl depicted deserve everything they get.
IF, IF, getting infected blood in your eye is a death sentence, maybe, MAYBE, wear swimming goggles or something.
The stupidity is more horrifying than the zombies.
God Microsoft why do you suck so much? I am trying to pay with a new, non-expired, credit card. Please accept it, and if not, tell me what you don't like instead of highlighting all input fields in red and saying "please check all details are correct". I HAVE AND THEY ARE FUCK TAKE MY MONEY

Not starting on book 4-6 of a series because I thought book 3 ended things just fine and no need to drag it out.
A mesmerizing time-lapse of the Sun in ultraviolet light, captured by the Solar Dynamics Observatory spacecraft over the course of a month.
very difficult to come out of this thinking “more freedom of personal choice can fix this.” the media chose this. so did the people. maybe people are too fucking stupid for their own good, is the thing
Federal agents violently detained a food delivery driver as he emerged from a D.C. coffee shop Saturday morning.
The incident captured on video showed the officers throwing him to the ground and beating him before sweeping him away in an unmarked vehicle. wapo.st/45Egtkc
Screenshot of ChatGPT session containing: Sure! Here’s a summary of the game so far: ### **Moves:** 1. **g4** (White advances the g-pawn two squares) 1... **d5** (Black counters in the center) 2. **Kh3** (White moves the king to h3—an extremely rare idea!) 2... **h5** (Black pushes the h-pawn, putting pressure on the kingside) --- Would you like to continue the game? It's your move!
Billions of dollars, thousands of our brightest minds, tons and tons of CO2, and LLMs still doesn't understand the rules of chess.

I love compiler options like `-funroll-loops`: fun roll loops!

Took 5 tries but finally got a workable cap for my Staedtler Mars Lumograph digital jumbo.
Turns out the profile is build entirely out of circles.

Turns out you can't use reverse image search on images in Google Drive without doing something like importing them all into Google Photos first.
Kinda shit for a product from a "search" company.
Alan Kay had some bangers. This one really resonates with why I make things:
“We make, not to have, but to know.”
― Alan Kay
Some times it is not to "know how to do it" but to "know that I can".
My #steamdeck contributing 0.05 DNG/s to my DNG conversion cluster's throughput. Every bit helps - I have 50,000 65MP DNGs to convert to JPEGs >.<
table with 6 rows showing computers in a cluster, one of which has hostname of steamdeck
When you need every bit of compute in the house... the steamdeck runs linux - it can be in the cluster!
(side-quest: built a static version of screen using musl, netbsd-ncurses)
Shout out to @system76.bsky.social for making a great live image of Pop!_OS with excellent NVIDIA support. Was able to turn a windows computer into another node in my ad-hoc cluster running @darktablefr.bsky.social [darktable] with full opencl support.
Turns out the trick to make your home cluster to run 2x faster is to spend $7AUD for a cat6 cable so data distribution isn't bottlenecked by a 100Mbps network segment.

This was an interesting read on reproducibility in the face of float point errors.
I imagine using arbitrary precision numbers will fix it, though I imagine it will also be very very slow.
The Emperor has no clothes. The absurdity of this vain and emotionally fragile person in charge of the most powerful country in the world continues to beggar belief.
After a few aborted attempts, finally beat The Kilobyte's Gambit [1], so I am not completely hopeless.

Dear the rest of the world: You should absolutely not see the US as reliable for anything at this point, shit, none of us on the inside think we're reliable for anything right now either, you're definitely not alone
The US it turns out, is full of cowards.
Not a single person has tried to physically prevent DOGE employees from abusing their powers.
It is such a clear and present danger from with-in that one would expect at least one patriot to step up, but everyone just rolls over.

Lucky for the tractor drivers they weren't objecting to the continued burning of fossil fuels leading to environmental degradation, natural disasters, weather extremes, food insecurity, economic disruption, conflict, and terrorism.
Still can't quite see how an ambulance would get through though.
It is now impossible to watch any US media about heroes in the CIA or FBI or other TLA agencies "saving the day". They can't even stop Elon and his 6 undergraduates criming in the open, and you expect me to believe they can find and neutralise actual bad actors like terrorists with nerve gas? lol
