Il y a une personne qui poste un graphique pour remettre un peu les choses au clair sur quand on est dans les classes moyennes ou aisées, et y en a plein qui viennent pinailler, parler de revenu net ou brut, avant ou après impôt, tout ça parce que ça veut pas accepter le fait qu'ils ont du fric.

C'est franchement indécent, vous foutez la gerbe, et vous feriez mieux de la fermer !

About five minutes later, the arresting officer approached him again. “He said: ‘I’ve got good news and I’ve got bad news.’ I said: ‘What’s the good news?’ He said: ‘I’m de-arresting you.’

“And I said: ‘What’s the bad news?’ He said: ‘It’s going to be really embarrassing for me.’ And then I walked free, while all the real heroes are the people that are actually getting arrested.”

A screenshot of a news article with the headline: "Protester arrested over 'Plasticine Action' T-shirt: 'How ridiculous is this?'" The image in the article shows a middle-aged man with long grey hair and a goatee, standing outdoors with his hands on his hips. He is wearing a white T-shirt with the text "PLASTICINE ACTION" and "WE OPPOSE AI GENERATED ANIMATION" printed on it in a black box. The sub-headline of the article reads: "Miles Pickering says crowd at protest over Palestine Action ban was laughing at 'silliness' of scene as he was detained".

seriously bummed out... I had been planning my Ontario trip for months and just my luck my flight is cancelled and the cost to rebook on a later date is significantly higher now. I already requested paid vacation days off from work and its too late now to cancel it so I feel like I should still go somewhere. Plus, I honestly need to deload from working out, fencing and dancing because I'm starting to feel burn out creep up on me. I may book a flight somewhere else on a whim if I can find a good travel deal on such short notice

I updated Airstatus to accommodate Bleak 1.1.0 and the removal of Discover.

Today I went to check the battery status of my Airpods Max and found that 'discover' had been fully removed from Bleak. I had been getting warnings for years that it was deprecated and would eventually be axed. Today was the day. After updating Arch I was hit with discover being an unknown import from Bleak. I've tried every other trick in the book to get my Airpods battery to show on Linux, but Airstatus was the only one. I did some diving and saw that BleakScanner had replaced Discover.

I decided I might as well at some QoL things that I had wanted during my use of Airstatus. The new script accounts for Airpods Max and only shows a single battery level for them, as well as a keyboard interrupt exit script if you're like me and just check your battery in the terminal from time to time.

This is my first github fork. I don't know if I followed all the fork etiquette, but I did add delphiki in the readme markdown to credit them, as well as placed a notice at the end that it was a fork mostly for my own use. The only reason I decided to post it here is to help out anyone else that might be running into the same problem. Feel free to point out anything I should add to the readme or any problems with the script itself.

I will be spending a lot more time actually learning Python. I started learning a while back, but it had to be put on the backburner due to life in general. I'll be completely transparent in that I needed some help from AI. I know the Python basics, and I'd love to be able to fix problems like these without having to consult AI at all, but I'm just not at the level to do this on my own yet. To be fair, I used it mostly as an assistant to check and troubleshoot each block and traceback error rather than having it spit the whole script out for me. That way I at least learned a bit. I did pull up the BleakScanner page, fullstack, and Python guides at first, but I was still struggling.

Striking blue fruit of the Clintonia andrewsiana along the trail in Redwood National and State Parks yesterday. Experts note that the colors of the fruit include green, white, and shades of blue, and that the fruit is eaten by birds, elk, deer, and others. In this image, four blue fruit and two green fruit stand out against a background that includes a small section of the park trail and a large tree trunk anchoring the left-hand side of the view.

Part three of our VexTrio full monty is now available. This one is for the geeks but also a pretty short read... especially given the previous two parts!

Major takeaways are:
* these networks receive a ton of traffic. The primary image server for VexTrio TDS has long been in the top 10k popular domains globally -- we've been pushing hard and it is down around 11k now.
* they use a few different cloakers / trackers. we talk about IMKLO, binom, and Keitaro.
* they run a pretty modern devops stack with all the tech you would expect.

as someone who struggles with auditory processing issues i really dislike the thing people do in short form video content where they attempt to lip sync with whatever meme sound/song they're using but then put whatever joke they're trying to make in captions

the wombo combo of what's usually a really bad lip sync with mismatched subtitles throws me every time

In addition to revealing phone numbers of several admin officials, the papers left at the hotel’s public printer “disclosed the sequence of meetings for Aug 15, incl. the specific names of the (Alaska military base) rooms where they would take place. It also revealed that #Trump intended to give #Putin a ceremonial (bald eagle desk statue) present.” (🤮)

Also: The “luncheon was to be held ‘in honor of his excellency Vladimir Putin.’”

Two documents related to the Trump-Putin meeting in Alaska on August 15, 2025. The left document is a luncheon menu in honor of Vladimir Putin, featuring items like green salad and halibut. The right document outlines the meeting's sequence of events, including meeting times and specific meeting rooms. It also talks about how US President Trump (“POTUS”) would have a press meeting with Sean Hannity and give Russian President Putin a present (an “American Bald Eagle Desk Statue”). https://www.npr.org/2025/08/16/nx-s1-5504196/trump-putin-summit-documents-left-behind Accessed: 18 August 2025 at 1246 MST

Literally rolling out the red carpet for #Putin (who would be arrested in Europe for war crimes), riding together in the car, walking side-by-side… letting him speak first at the press conference (when typically the hosting country’s president would speak first)….

No wonder Arnold Schwarzenegger called #trump a “wet noodle” and a “little fanboy” ~

I’ll add that it was infuriating as well as Scwarzenegger’s “embarrassing”~

Much more interesting than that.

To wit: Inertia is the effect of imbalance of Unruh radiation caused by the fact that some of that radiation cannot reach you when you are accelerating because acceleration causes a Rindler horizon.

Interesting because Unruh waves can be blocked, which means you can have reactionless thrusters. The famous EmDrive is explained by QI, but there have also been a number of experimental reproductions of QI reactionless thrust using capacitors.

In another post, I demonstrated that reactionless thrusters are equivalent to free energy machines because they generate a fixed amount of force/torque for a given input, without consideration for speed/RPM that they are moving.
