Do you ever drink "strategically"?


Just bought box wine the other day cuz I knew I had to have a super uncomfortable conversation that could not be avoided and I needed to be anaesthetized for it

It worked and I know in retrospect I really needed it to be that way

Edit/Update: person I had convo with just texted me and apologized for combativeness and I mutually apologized for not dealing with it sooner and we're along and on to solution mode. The system works, please dont drink if you dont have too but dont forbid yourself from using a tool to improve your situation and try to always be honest. The less you lie or hide, the less influence you will have to unnecessarily drink

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth gathered some of the leaders of America’s largest military contractors for a closed-door meeting at the Pentagon last week, urging them to ramp up the production of critically needed munitions amidst depleted weapons stocks and a growing threat from China, Just the News has learned.

The Supreme Court has never made a determination on the legal merits of the argument that noncitizens should not be counted in the United States census, but may soon be forced to do so.

You're just firing off the spider questions today.

My brother had had some till a while ago, but they don't live that long. He had two of the American species ones and a redback. They are really chill spiders and don't handle differently than any other local Theridiid spider. They are quite boring, really.

You don't really interact with them, they setup their web and then they'll just stay there till they die of old age (around 2 years).

In an explosive sit-down interview with The Gateway Pundit’s Jim Hoft back in March, European researcher Bernadette Conrads delivered a chilling exposé on the sprawling influence of USAID and its deep state-funded allies operating across the European continent.

Unidentified computer hackers associated with the Sinaloa drug cartel were able to garner phone records from the FBI, then used Mexico City surveillance cameras to compromise key informants and witnesses so they could murder them back in 2018, a new report showed.

Thinking about a wood gas generator which can handle large pieces of wood.

Two fireboxes, left side and right side.
No grate, flat surface at the bottom of each firebox.
Small transfer-slot between the two fireboxes at the bottom.
Below each firebox is an ash box, a small exhaust transfer slot is at the outside edge between the firebox and the ash box below it.
Intake air enters at the top of one of the two fireboxes, exhaust exits via one of the two ash boxes.
A set of valves selects which firebox gets intake air and which ash box gets exhaust vacuum.

Intake left, exhaust right makes the left firebox downdraft and the right firebox cross-draft. Green arrow shows this. Obviously inverting the intake and exhaust side swaps the roles.

Freshly added wood goes on the downdraft side, where pre-heated intake air bakes the moisture out of the wood. Steam from the fresh wood transfers to the cross-draft side where hot coals pull oxygen from the air and steam, creating flammable carbon monoxide and hydrogen gasses.

When the cross-draft side burns down to a small bed of coals, the direction of flow is reversed, the cross-draft side becomes the down-draft side, and it can be re-filled with fresh wood.

#SomeOrdinaryGamers' latest video about #PewDiePie #degoogling brought up the usual #privacy-denialist normie quote "they already have my information." This is absolute nonsense: there is "static" information that #BigTech would already have like your full name, date of birth, home address, etc., but there is more volatile info that they cannot have already gotten and that should be protected, like your circles of friends and colleagues, the places you visit, your beliefs and interests, etc.

@GM7077@masto.ai We also need to launch a #boycott against all #UTA artists in retaliation for defending #genocide. Time to start boycotting anything that defends and supports #Israel #apartheid!


#BobVylan has been dropped by its agency UTA for protesting #genocide.

Time to support them by buying their as #art, or streaming if you can't afford to directly buy.

@Max_Imum @Richard I helped with the tourney, a little, last year and it's a chaotic, thankless job.

While I'm disappointed with the outcome, can't fault the organizer because he was pretty much aboveboard and transparent for the whole thing.

With that being said, the important question I have on my mind is — has @eriner ceremoniously booted SRK from the instance yet?

Cuban Americans and Venezuelan Americans overwhelmingly voted for Trump. Now they are being deported by him.

Tumblr’s move to WordPress and fediverse integration is ‘on hold’


in reply to misk

Fuck Tumblr. Fuck WordPress. Fuck Automattic. And fuck Matt.

Tumblr has some interesting content from users, but the platform is awful and it's even worse since Automattic bought it. Also, the trend to put the entire contents of the post in hashtags is flat-out stupid and infuriating.

Automatic is a tremendously terrible company, and Matt is an egotistical pile of garbage.

Europe's AI #gigafactory push attracts 76 bids, EU tech chief says

"Seventy-six companies have bid to develop Europe's artificial intelligence gigafactories, the EU's tech chief said on Monday, hailing a bigger than expected response to the bloc's push to catch up with the U.S. and China in this key #technology.

The #European Commission made the announcement four months after it allocated 20 billion euros ($23 billion) in EU funding for the construction of four AI gigafactories across the bloc.

Such facilities, in essence large-scale AI computing and data storage hubs, will be equipped with about 100,000 state-of-the-art AI chips.

"We got 76 submissions proposing to set up #AI gigafactories in 16 member states and across 60 different sites," EU tech chief Henna Virkkunen told a press conference.

"And this exceeds far beyond our expectations and this showcases Europe's growing momentum and enthusiasm for innovating in AI in Europe," she said, declining to name the companies because of business confidentiality information."

"When I first wrote of my personal side effects of Lipitor, my words were focused purely on transient global amnesia (TGA). This is because in 1999, shortly after this drug was started by my doctors at Johnson Space Center as part of my annual astronaut physical, this is what I experienced. ..."

That Drug Expiration Date May Be More Myth Than Fact

In his lab, Gerona ran tests on the decades-old drugs, including some now defunct brands such as the diet pills Obocell (once pitched to doctors with a portly figurine called "Mr. Obocell") and Bamadex. Overall, the bottles contained 14 different compounds, including antihistamines, pain relievers and stimulants. All the drugs tested were in their original sealed containers.
