  • Cuba’s government said late passengers on a boat that opened fire on its soldiers were armed Cubans living in the U.S. who were trying to infiltrate the island and unleash terrorism.

  • Stinks like the Gulf of Tonkin incident and I bet the admin is involved somehow.

  • I got an Asian pear tree, a Nijisseiki specifically, a few years ago. Asian pears are usually really good, particularly the expensive ones that come in little pear bear bras. When you have your own tree though, you can harvest at absolute peak ripeness without having to worry about them going bad. Absolutely amazing fruit. Chill it in the refrigerator for an hour or two before eating so it's cool but not cold. Perfect dessert.

  • I got 4 used 14 TB drives for $400 a few years ago. If the AI bubble bursts at the right time, maybe I can upgrade to 4x40 TB for the same amount.

  • I've been thinking about employee stock options lately. The original idea was that options would vest as a result of executives increasing the stock price through good business practices. Now though, so much of the market is occupied by index funds that major companies' stock prices will rise just for treading water as everyone keeps pumping money into retirement accounts comprised largely of index funds. So instead of a reward, they just become a way to skirt income taxes as long as you hold the stock long enough. The article mentions buybacks as well, which can also inflate the stock price guaranteeing options vest.

  • half the year it feels like my feet have been stabbed because they get so cold (slippers are not enough)

    Get some down booties. It's like your feet are cocooned in a loving embrace of warmth and comfort.

  • The TV industry finally concedes that the future may not be in 8K

  • I could use an 8k 42” OLED monitor for work. I’d need a 130” TV for 8k to be noticeable given the distance I sit from the TV.

  • People should do this ICE monitoring with swarms of FPV drones. That would really drive them crazy, plus you could stay a safe distance away.

  • It’s really not that hard to create a highly contagious flu with a 50% IFR. Just do the initial release around people likely to interact with the inner circle and you’d wipe most of the old ones out. Plus once it got out you’d be eliminating anti-science people at a 5 or 10:1 ratio, improving the future prospects for the planet as a whole. Some really angry molecular biologist who got fired by RFK Jr. could do it for $50k in a limited space.

  • Venezuelan crude is extremely heavy and sulfur rich, it’s only economical when oil prices are relatively high. That half-value number would be eaten up by processing costs.

  • 30 minutes with a book is a great way to wind down before sleep. Although you may get addicted to pre-sleep book reading.

  • They got 5,000 chargers, not really scammed, although you can get larger volumes for less. If you take a full lung-full from a balloon and hold it, it's like flipping a switch that shuts your brain off for a few seconds. As you come back, it feels like your brain is booting up as reality slowly reconstitutes. I never found it particularly pleasant and something about the nature of the experience made me feel it was unhealthy.

  • how do you avoid getting blackpilled/paralyzed by climate change

    Jump

  • We have everything we need to get to net zero, all the technology is there, we just need to produce everything and, for some technologies, make them cheaper. Once we do that, we also have the technology to sequester about 10-15% per year of what we are emitting right now. Of course, we aren't going to avoid any number of environmental catastrophes, but humans have committed numerous environmental atrocities already during the Holocene extinction.

    Incremental progress doesn't make headlines. LCoEs continuing to plummet for wind and solar doesn't get reported on. Even successfully saving species doesn't get much notice unless it's something flashy. Roughly 1/3 of all patents being filed today relate in some way to reducing carbon emissions, electrifying transport, increasing recyclability, etc. That's millions of minds across the world all chipping away at this problem little by little.

  • There was a sudden stratospheric warming event over the north pole, disrupting the polar vortex and sending cold air into the eastern US. The frequency and severity of those warming events is increasing due to anthropogenic climate change. It's unlikely this will be the last time Zoomers experience this.
