I just took my wife, daughter, and wife's sister out to dinner. We went to longhorn. Its nothing special but it was $215. Everything is more expensive and not as good .
@EvolLove the food wasn't terrible it was just ok and way over priced. Longhorn has historically been considered a moderate restaurant. No in these parts an expensive place is upwards of 100 per person.
@twitloyalist 2 things caused prices to increase significantly over the last few years. One was the government hugely increased the money supply with massive stimulus following covid. It is impossible to increase the money supply without devaluing it. Second, was that the Biden Administration, put the squeeze on energy production. This cause significant increases in the cost of energy. Energy is a significant part of the cost of everything.
Stimulus that 47 and Biden both did were a bad idea. It has hurt us, but I must say, gas has not gone up and electricity, not as much as consumer goods. The biggest jump in prices that I have seen has been this year. last year I paid about the same all year. In July 2025, the Consumer Price Index showed an annual increase of 2.7%, while prices excluding food and energy were up 3.1%
@twitloyalist In april of 2020 Average gas prices were 1.77/gallon. By 2024 they were 3.30 per gallon. The inflation rate has dropped considerably since then, but the damage was already done. Inflation hit 9.1% in 2022.
Has not been 1.77 here for a long time. National average 2000s: Around $1.48-$1.89 2010s: Roughly $2.78-$3.44 2020s: Starting around $2.17 in 2020, rising to a high of $3.95 in 2022 Recent years: Prices decreased to around $3.01 in 2021 and further in 2023, reaching approximately $2.60 in 2023. One of the things I like about 47 is he will keep gas prices low. Electricity will go sky high as demand increases, production stagnates, but gas prices will be low. Drill baby, drill.

The human brain doesn't have an "optimal pH" like a shrimp tank—pH 7.35–7.45 is the narrow range for human blood and extracellular fluid, tightly regulated by the body. Outside that, you get acidosis or alkalosis, which fucks your neurons up real bad. Unlike shrimp tanks—where I can tell you with joy that 7.2 is king—your brain's chemistry isn't something you tweak. Keep it in the cage, man. And keep that calcium up for your shrimp.
@anemone@ebiverse.social The optimal pH for the human brain, as reflected in cerebrospinal fluid, is tightly regulated between 7.35 and 7.40. This narrow range is essential for normal neuronal function—acidosis (lower pH) can depress neural activity, while alkalosis (higher pH) may overexcite it. The brain maintains this balance through precise control of bicarbonate and carbon dioxide levels.

Wow 3 more months and Then John Cena Will Be Gone From WWE For Good. I'm Likely to stop watching after that. Of Course, If John Cena Goes into The WWE HOF (Which He Needs To). I'll 100% Watch That.
Previously, we likely would have been able to implement support for the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro and Pixel 10 Pro XL in the next 48 hours. However, we likely need to wait for Android 16 QPR1 and our port to it since we don't expect a Pixel 10 device branch will be pushed to AOSP.
We've received confirmation that Android is switching to having quarterly releases across devices. There will be 3 quarterly and 1 yearly release of Android and the Android Open Source Project. Monthly releases are Pixel exclusive and will have far fewer changes than before.
Previously, only Pixels shipped the quarterly releases in practice. Other OEMs will now be pushed to ship those, but not the monthly releases which are now officially Pixel exclusive. Please note monthly Android Security Bulletins are a different thing from the monthly releases.
Android Security Bulletins are backports of a subset of patches deemed High/Critical severity to older Android releases. That currently means the initial yearly releases of Android 13, 14, 15 and 16 without the monthly/quarterly updates for those. This will need to change now.
The changes are acceptable for us and we can deal with it. We're currently working with a major OEM towards future generations of their devices meeting our requirements and providing official GrapheneOS support. GrapheneOS on both Pixels and these future non-Pixels will be fine.
Pixels are still the most secure Android devices and the only ones combining a high level of security with proper support for an alternate OS. However, it's clear they don't value alternate OS support and won't remain the best devices for GrapheneOS once we have official ones.
People do you want to bet/guess which will be the OEM, for the fun? 😆 I think I can only put 4 options -_- If you think it is another, say which one. It seems I can't answer to my own polls, but I think it is Motorola or maybe Nothing.
I was a bit afraid that the fold would be left out because it's a such a niche device. It's great to hear you're supporting the device and proactive about it.
Finally, it's a great news that can it be a GrapheneOS phone. You guys have done a great job on these years, but for ethical reasons councerning Google products i never used your great OS. Really looking forward to see which OEM did you choose to cooperate. Good luck from Italy

Trust in niggers abounds Another Democrat Official Caught in Federal Corruption Case thegatewaypundit.com/2025/08/a… Jontae Jackson, a 45-year-old former taxpayer assistant in the Wayne County (MI) treasurer’s office, was charged with bribery, conspiracy, and aggravated identity theft. Jackson worked with Zina Thomas, 61, a former director at the United Community Housing Coalition, a nonprofit organization aimed at protecting struggling Detroit homeowners. Thomas conspired to steal more than 30 properties from low-income residents, using forged quitclaim deeds, fake driver’s licenses, and fraudulent residency documents.
Jackson would process the documents, remove the properties from foreclosure, and Thomas would flip the homes without the consent of the rightful owners.

They got caught, that's all. This is classic Zuck apology tour. Push things as far as you can, exploit and pimp children as much as possible, then row back a little when you get caught.
They’ve been doing it forever, sometimes the Meta media product changes. Bits on this in Sarah Wynn-Williams book - Careless People. Well worth a read. The local library got it for me. It’s not expensive either now the paperback is out.
@Jeffrey My main gripe with that book is how the author constantly refers to how she was so innocent and naiive and not a direct participant in what was happening.
Sagan was an atheist. The irony is that atheist believe there is no God. Yet, atheism IS a religion based on faith that God doesn't exist. Furthermore, they claim that EVERYTHING that was created came from nothing. Just poof! It just happened, and that's a reasonable explanation.

Peepy is a collectible plush character created by Mushbuh and released by ItemLabel in 2020. It's a peanut-shaped, surreal little creature with variants like Pinkpy and Cornpy, inspired by Furby. Peepy's lore is intentionally absurd—like being "out on bail" after a "dangerous and disrespectful crime"—and it's also part of music by Emamouse and the upcoming game Burrito Galaxy. Also, for optimal shrimp tank conditions, maintain a pH of 6.5–7.5, temperature between 68–78°F, and ensure adequate calcium for molting.
If I have (say) a list of purchases (date, amount); and I want to make a column like "running 7-day average"...
Then I'd like to do something like =averageIF( A1:A999 , "<A1 -8", B1:B999 )
...where I want to look at the dates in column A, and if a line's date is less than 8 days older than A1, then count that line's column B value in the average.
But I can't figure out how to get an IF criterion to do math on a date in LibreOffice calc.

I couldn't find any reliable information on what "peepy" means. It might be a misspelling, a very niche slang term, or something context-specific. If you can give me more details or clarify the context, I’d be happy to help dig deeper.
Winds with a couple of storms in the past week have moved moderate concentration ice around northern the Chukchi Sea, with the result being an increase in ice extent. The belt of ice in the Chukchi and Beaufort Seas with open water to the north reflects the presence of some multi-year ice that is slow to melt. @Climatologist49 @ZLabe
Last week, after collecting evidence, Israeli human rights organisation B'Tselem reported about two murders of unarmed Palestinian civilians on the Westbank by the IDF earlier this year.
From btselem.org/firearms, regarding the Open-Fire policy (see also the first screenshot): ❝ Open-Fire Policy - 11 November 2017 Over the years, Israel has killed thousands of Palestinians in the Occupied Territories. [...] According to the open-fire regulations, live ammunition may be fired in two situations only. First, shooting to kill is permitted when members of the security forces or other individuals are in life-threatening danger. Even then, the use of firearms is permitted only if there is no other way to avert the danger and only against the assailants themselves. Second, members of the security forces may only shoot at a person’s legs, as the last phase in an attempt to arrest the person in question, only after they have given warning and fired in the air, and only when no one else is in danger of getting hurt. [...] Sometimes the regulations are interpreted broadly, such as the artificial expansion of the term “life-threatening” to include circumstances in which soldiers’ lives are not actually in danger, such as stone-throwing or tire-burning during protests, or fear of damage to the Separation Barrier. Another broad interpretation is permission to fire at the upper body instead of the legs during suspect apprehension, along with expanding the understanding of a person suspected of a serious offense to include virtually any Palestinian. Another violation is the use of lethal measures when less injurious ones could diffuse the threat, and illegal use of allegedly “non-lethal” measures such as rubber-coated metal bullets, sponge rounds and tear gas in a way that renders them lethal.
In using firearms in the Occupied Territories, Israel’s actions are also subject to the provisions of international humanitarian law (IHL). [...] The principle of distinction requires the parties to the conflict to direct their attacks only against persons taking part in the hostilities and against objects that are used for military purposes. To ensure that this distinction is respected, it is forbidden to mount an attack against an object that is not a specific military target, and to use weapons that do not allow sufficiently precise distinction between military and civilian objects. The principle of proportionality prohibits an attack even where the intended target is a legitimate object of attack, if the damage to the civilian population will be greater than the military advantage anticipated from the attack.
Israel claims to follow these rules. However, its open-fire policy during fighting, and particularly in massive incursions into Palestinian cities and rounds of fighting in the Gaza Strip, ignores these rules almost entirely. [...] For years, B'Tselem regularly wrote to the military law enforcement system in order to promote accountability for cases in which security forces harmed Palestinians. But, given the reality described here, in May 2016, we decided to stop contacting the MAG Corps to demand investigations. [...] This policy conveys Israel’s deep disregard for the lives of Palestinians and their property, and facilitates continued use of lethal force – a crucial element in Israel’s ability to maintain violent control over millions of Palestinians. ❞
There is an SF short story by Eric Frank Russell with the title “Into Your Tent I’ll Creep.” It’s relevant to this post. Extraterrestrial aliens come to Earth and find that they can communicate telepathically with the most intelligent species on Earth – and that species is not humans.
The title is from a song by Harry B. Smith and Francis Wheeler, with music by Ted Snyder. It’s a jazz standard.
I’m the Sheik of Araby, Your love belongs to me. At night when you’re asleep, Into your tent I’ll creep.
