Why aren’t there volume marks on the graduated cylinder? That’s what makes it graduated, not the bottom stand piece.

What illegal orders? This is a genuine question.

I’m an Army veteran and my wife is active duty. I do not believe any of the orders that have been issued thus far are illegal. The deployment to DC is potentially on some shaky legal ground, but that rests with the president and needs to be sorted out in court. Individual troops have no reason to refuse deployment to DC and the actions they’ve performed there, as far am I’m aware, are within the bounds for legal orders.

If one state deployed NG troops to another state, without the consent of the occupied state’s governor, that would be illegal. DC is a different situation because it can be under direct federal control and they have no national guard, as they do not have statehood.

That’s because two of the C ports are 40Gbps USB4. I bet there’s a PCI-E lane limitation they’re hitting.

Hawken was dope as hell when it was running. It was a bit faster than Mechwarrior, no anime stuff. It looks like Hawken Reborn is an early access game on Steam, but I can’t vouch for it.

Take it with a grain of salt means to be skeptical as if the findings are inaccurate. I don’t believe that to be the case. You can make the best decisions when you’re the most informed, and plenty of you will make it past 60. What if you plan on not surviving just to find out you have decades left? Best to take both scenarios into account, IMO.

Seems pretty straightforward to me, especially the section titled “The Alcohol Intake and Health Study’s conclusions, explained”

Their big-picture conclusion: Among the US population, the negative health effects of drinking alcohol start at low levels of consumption and begin to increase sharply the more a person drinks. A man drinking one drink per day has roughly a one in 1,000 chance of dying from any alcohol-related cause, whether an alcohol-associated cancer or liver disease or a drunk driving accident. Increase that to two drinks per day, and the odds increase to one in 25.

Alcohol use is associated with increased mortality for seven types of cancer — colorectal, breast cancer in women, liver, oral, pharynx, larynx, and esophagus. Risk for these cancers increases with any alcohol use and continues to grow with higher levels of use, the study’s authors concluded. Women experience a higher risk of an alcohol-attributable cancer per drink consumed than men. Men and women who die from an alcohol-attributable cause die 15 years earlier on average.

Amid all of the public discourse about alcohol and its health effects, here was a clear and authoritative summary of the evidence that would be most relevant to Americans. It was, its authors told me, consistent with the scientific consensus at this time.

“Nothing we’re saying is all that surprising or controversial to those of us who know the field,” Keyes said.

Glad to see the elephant bone show get some recognition, I’ve liked the comedy critiques as well as the “existential shitpost” style podcasts with the AI voice changer. Love how all the Elephant Graveyard content has a bunch of links between everything, there’s cross references you don’t catch until a rewatch/relisten. Great writing overall.

Combos!

It’s obviously a vintage shitpost

I use an electric mower and do it early as fuck sometimes, like as soon as the sun comes up. Super quiet.

All talk, no action. Inaction isn’t as bad as a bad action, but it sure as shit isn’t good. When faced with someone doing an evil action, inaction is complicity.

Ask yourself: why is it the Democrats can have the legislative and executive branches and only deliver a half assed insurance program, yet Republicans can pack the Supreme Court in one term and ram through dozens of their ideas in months?

Instead of supporting progressive candidates like Sanders and Mamdani, they suppress them. Meanwhile, the Overton window shifts further right, and the country gets shittier and shittier.

Stop paying attention to what they say and start paying attention to what they do. We have the secret police in the streets now, with martial law for cities on the horizon, and the democrats are on vacation.

No, they’re not exactly the same. You don’t get to today without the inaction of Democrats.

What’s the biggest win we’ve seen from democrats in the last, say, 40 years? Gay marriage? They didn’t deliver on: healthcare, abortion, reducing military spending, police reform, government transparency, privacy, prosecuting Trump for his blatant corruption. Meanwhile, the Republicans can ram through dozens of their shittiest ideas in months. Why is that?

Picking a Democrat and thinking it’s going to change anything is misguided in my opinion. They’re the reason we have Trump today. They enable the Republicans through inaction, and prevent actual change by suppressing progressive candidates.

Who gives a fuck, they’re all owned by people who travel in the same circles, all presenting the kayfabe reality that is US politics. That one side will fix the problems of the other, when really, they’re hanging out in the locker rooms and you’re the ones buying tickets and paying their salaries.

Republicans love Democrats; nobody else would let them get away with the shit they do.

Democrats love Republicans; they only have to act 1% better than absolute dogshit and they’ll get all the votes they need.

Neither one wants to change anything that’s occurring right now, because they’re all getting fantastically rich and enjoying power and protection you and I could only dream of. Who wants to change the system and fuck all that up?

On night shift, I’d eat for half and sleep for half of my break. Worked out pretty good, 30 mins to eat and 30 min nap.

ITT: people who didn’t read the article.

Excel is still doing the calculations, not the AI. The AI is helping to write functions. You can easily spot check a couple examples then apply that same formula down the column. I don’t really see the issue.

Of all the things to shove AI into, the first thing that came to my mind years back was Excel. It’s handy when I’m presented a spreadsheet of data at work and I just want to do something like “write a function to extract just the number from a column containing data formatted like LPF_PHASE_OF_CARE [PAF 304001]” because I just want to copy paste all the numbers somewhere. It’s trivial to verify it works correctly, I can examine the formula, and I don’t have to wade through numerous shitty Excel tutorial websites to try and teach myself something I’ll use once or twice a year.

Quick shitpost images I share with friends and Excel functions are where I get the most utility out of AI, which in general I think sucks and is massively overhyped.

Nw Yok fairly close to how some accent around NYC pronounces it, I’m sure.

Pale, grey, dull. Low blood flow to the skin. It’s not at all a compliment, quite the opposite. Pallor is the medical term.

Non-necrotizing, non-fatal. There’s waaaaay worse out there, and much more commonly found too. Pain sucks, no doubt about that, but you’ll survive and not lose a limb.

Interestingly there’s a D-amino acid in their genome which is the only D-amino acid found thus far in mammals.
