  • Way beyond foolishness. It's more like weaponized stupidity, cultist behavior, that's threatening all of us with some kind of idiocracy.

  • I happened to catch NASA on YouTube for a few hours that morning. There were a few problems, but they got through it. At about T-10 min, everyone seemed to feel this was the one, clear to launch. Even a few speeches ('MURICA!). I left for a minute and came back to the crew access arm being extended... It was difficult to watch them have to painstakingly evacuate the crew again instead of sending it to space.

  • Google was just like, "It's ending and your bill will revert to full price immediately." And it did. (But service has been great otherwise, so...) But I've read that other providers are offering some options and discounts, so that's nice.

  • Do you have just like a trillion gifs movies saved somewhere

  • And at the other end of Boeing, they're having extreme difficulty getting Starliner launched again (part 2: human boogaloo, endless problems, even while years behind SpaceX). It's like they're being sabotaged, only it's probably just mismanagement, incompetence, and demoralization.

  • Oh, so that's what ACAB means. ^/s

  • "If your friends jumped off a bridge, would you?" Yes, apparently.

  • Aw. And neither was this "woman", who it seems was just Russian ops trying to lure another dumb American hostage.

  • I love cats. Always trying to be so cool, but then they get comfy and let their guard down and boom, this face. A+

  • Walmart, Petsmart, Petco, Amazon; They're everywhere, and come in too many flavors! Inaba (Japan) seems like a quality company, and Churu is well- reviewed (it's protein puree, high moisture, nothing terrible in it).

    My 12 y/o buddy just started eating them (chicken flavor), and goes alarmingly nuts for them. Great for adding water to diet, sick days, meds, etc. (Nulo, Tiki Cat, others also make quality puree pouches.)

  • We're experiencing extremely high call volume.

    Every hour of every day, because company won't hire or pay for anything better.

    Press 3 to have a representative call you back; You won't lose your place in line.

    Sure. Meanwhile, I get on their website and try their weird "chat" support popup, that somehow takes care of the problem hours before I ever get a call back.

    This is why people hate phone support. And why I don't trust and won't buy products from companies who only have phone support (or "social media", Facebook, Twixer). Give me a dedicated support email address, or something text-based (live chat, contact form) on website, thanks!

  • Yes. Just FYI: All three have free "freeze" option, hidden somewhere (probably thanks to federal law). They also have very similar paid option, which they heavily advertise; That's not the one. They do all require free accounts, but probably worth it to be able to freeze/unfreeze instantly online.

    I just received "dark web" alert about SSN, phone, name, and email... that I only used at AT&T many years ago. So AT&T has definitely leaked our data as well. Add 'em to the list...

  • In oil country, the land may be getting less stable. Korean Samsung (and planet Earth) vs Texan oil barons, I wonder who Texas will protect.

  • I hate ads, but these were beautifully done. And effective: I do indeed feel the need for some very long Sakeru Gummy candy. I wonder over how long these originally played out in Japan. Bravo.

  • My (big ol') cat used to somehow get all the way on top of an SUV and bite/bump the little stubby antenna. Easy to miss the damage! Bet there's a bunch of cars out there with (delicious) chewed-up antennas. (They usually unscrew and are replaceable, at least.)

  • This president has acted like he was owned by the cartels since day one. Good luck to any peace he thought that would bring. Seems like a disaster for their future in the long-term.

  • Gov Abbott in Texas tried this desperate stunt in 2023. Only one state alone, but it was still a clusterfuck. Anyone relying on goods from Mexico got fucked (tons of things, but esp. perishables, grocery stores). Cost the state and businesses millions. He gave up pretty quickly, the pathetic little piss baby.

  • I happened upon it thanks to PBS Frontline at YouTube a while ago. https://youtu.be/gvAyykRvPBo I'm sure it captures only 1/1000 of the terror committed by Putin and his toy soldiers, and yet it should be more than enough. Glory to Ukraine.

  • Nicely done, that's hilarious. The current state of "AI" is deeply embarrassing and massively over-hyped. Maybe a few trillion more dollars of funding will do the trick...
