Holy shit, if they do this and can pull it off, Trump will be livid, it’ll be great.

If it’s 1lb of solid gold, then about $28,200

Also unless this person is actually Mike Luckovich, the artist who made the comic, they’re lifting his comic and posting it, but getting upset about someone doing the same thing?

“Well, This is the part where he kills us.”

“Hello. This is the part where I kill you.”

CHAPTER 9: THE PART WHERE HE KILLS YOU

Achievement Unlocked: The part where he kills you

The one thing I remember from that time was they had a section on the homepage of Ask Jeeves with recent searches from other users, and there was basically no filter to hide people’s searches for porn.

I can’t help, except to link to the comment for someone who knows about this. FWIW, this renders properly on the web client.

Where is this? judging by the orientation of the buildings, some place in Jersey?

The short story i’ve heard it explained was that prior to the 1960’s when logarithm tables were the only option, if what you were calculating was not in the table, you rounded the measurements up so that the material or whatever was stronger, and you knew it would really hold the weight to be certain. Depending on how much rounding up happened during the design, this created lots of redundancy and strength, but was more expensive since you generally had to use more materials. With CAD, you could more easily model and calculate all the loads and optimize the design and material costs for the expected lifetime of the product, building, or whatever. This saved money and was preferred by bean counters, and resulted in designs lasting just enough, rather than older designs which sometimes seemed indestructible.

AWS charges for every little thing, so for them to then delete your data with no warning is kinda insane. I will say, if the author thought AWS was bad, they’re going to really feel it working on Oracle’s platform for whatever tooling they’re building to migrate out of AWS. In a few months there will be a similar blog post about Oracle suing him or something else insane. Sometimes the devil you know is better I guess?

What is the context of this picture??

Sorry for the Reddit and Twitter links, but this meme is old, at least two years old, and the watermark for the creator of this seems to be from @johnhackerla on Twitter who seems like someone I wouldn’t trust with monetary policy.

I’m not sure which day the stock market was like this in 2022-2023 but I assume it was during the period where the Fed was trying to manage a “soft landing” coming out of the Covid pandemic and avoiding a recession.

This is why US should never allow blanket pardons or pardons before a conviction.

Not sure if this is really a great example to make your point, considering Maxwell was convicted already, and Trump wouldn’t need to issue a blanket pardon to get her out of prison in exchange for her testimony.

The real issue here is that Trump knows there’s no consequences if he does pardon her. He wouldn’t get removed from office over it, and I doubt the House would even bring articles of impeachment. The Supreme Court has conceded him all the power, and Congress is too spinless to hold him accountable for anything.

No one is going to believe her if she says Trump was never a client of Epstein, and then he pardons or commutes her sentence. If she tells the truth, she’s not getting the pardon. Trump could promise her the pardon, have her say he wasn’t involved with Epstein, and then never pardon her, but then risk she might talk for revenge. Trump needs her to calm the conspiracy theory and shift the focus away from him, without appearing to give her clemency.

The conversation with him and Maude Lebowski is also a great example of this:

Maude Lebowski: Do you like sex, Mr. Lebowski?

The Dude: 'Scuse me?

Maude Lebowski: Sex. The physical act of love. Coitus. Do you like it?

The Dude: I was talking about my rug.

Maude Lebowski: You’re not interested in sex?

The Dude: You mean coitus?

Gets me every time

“You wanna be a big cop in a small town? Fuck off up the model village.”

I have not seen that 10+ times yet

Not sure what the speed limit is, but considering it looks like a residential area, the flipped vehicle seems like they were probably going twice what the speed limit should be. We can’t see it to the right of the Jeep driver, but there doesn’t seem to be any day lighting at the corner on the left of the intersection where the Jeep came from, so it might have been impossible for the Jeep to see the speeding car until they entered the intersection.
