one of the guys who runs yarn posted about the problem they're having from chatgpt bots crawling their site and the countermeasures they're using. which affect comcast and at&t users the most. getyarn.io is broken for me, but yarn.co works. yarn.co doesn't embed, though.
That makes sense - I'm AT&T wireless and home fiber and yarn embeds always appear as text links to me

It's no Kursk offensive by the AFU, but it's interesting and going to further constrain russia now that China is no longer processing russian payments
Sanctions are working, and their loopholes are slowing getting closed off

Another this week..

I think it's that, plus interest rates going up (from the COVID baseline) is really going to amp up driver loan delinquency rates. Those guys already had a hard time keeping their trucks when loans were damn near free, I can't imagine that it's easier now to be a truck operator, which puts even more strain on the trucking companies

Tldr: NASA and Boeing still cannot definitively identify the cause of the failure and that uncertainty does not pair well with manned spaceflight. Whoopsie poopsie

If you want to be outraged, read the law and state what you have a problem with.
This isn't the thread to talk the policy but I did link the law a few posts up and pointed out my specific issue is that the signed law in the books explicitly gives the teachers immunity for violating the establishment clause. That's a pretty goddamn clear statement of intent.

Everywhere I turned over the last year or two, friends and family have been telling me Chipotle sucks these days. And I just saw that the CEO had produced excellent earnings growth over the last several years, hence why he was hired to Starbucks. So what’s the real story on Chipotle? All my friend are wrong, or my friends are smarter than all the dipshits still giving them business?
their CEO recently remarked that it was an "accident" that portion sizes had been getting systemically smaller. It started out as a meme that the company brushed off, but they eventually addressed on an earnings call

Surprise surprise, the workers cleaning it up are getting poisoned and NFS is working to cover it up!
The creeks around East Palestine, Ohio, were so badly contaminated by last year's disastrous Norfolk Southern derailment that some workers became sick during the cleanup.
Workers who reported headaches and nausea — while shooting compressed air into the creek bed, which releases chemicals from the sediment and water — were sent back to their hotels to rest, according to a report obtained by The Associated Press about their illnesses.
The findings were not released to the public last spring, despite residents' concerns about the potential health effects of exposure to the long list of chemicals that spilled and burned after the disaster. The workers' symptoms, as described in the report, are consistent with what Centers for Disease Control and Prevention workers going door-to-door in town had reported shortly after the Feb. 3, 2023, derailment.
Since then some residents have also reported unexplained rashes, asthma and other respiratory problems, and serious diseases including male breast cancer.
Researchers are still determining how many of those health problems can be linked to the derailment and how the disaster will impact the long-term health of residents in the area near the Ohio-Pennsylvania border. Many wonder whether there will be cancer clusters down the road, which of course won't be clear for years.
In the meantime, residents have until Aug. 22 to decide whether to accept up to $25,000 — as part of a $600 million class action settlement with the railroad to compensate them for any future health problems. Accepting that money though means giving up the right to sue later, when the cost of health care coverage and specific treatments needed will become more clear.
Norfolk Southern spokesperson Heather Garcia said none of the workers who got sick during the cleanup “reported lingering or long-term symptoms."

added a link to the claim in questionAnd it's beyond the scope of this thread, but the new Texas 3rd grade curriculum is explicitly teaching the Resurrection Story. It's so bad that the law to use the curriculum explicitly provides the educators immunity for violating the Establishment Clause of the US Constitution on the fifth page!

That benefits Putin. Kills them off, can blame Ukraine, who runs out of bullets and is then attacked. WW2 tactics 101.
On the other hand, russia is not the recipients of a shitload of American bullets beans and bandages like they were back in WW2. Plus, putin doesn't have near the power that stalin did in their respective eras of control. I don't think they'd produce the same result, especially when they're not in a war of annihilation like was happening against the nazis

It really is amazing that you are continually allowed to post these nakedly racist and political actors. Just because the one thing you're posting is borderline ok, doesn't meant you're not amplifying a fucking awful person. That last dude you're posting prong LOVES to call the brown women of Congress the "Chief of staff of Hamas" and other racist slurs (click his profile and scroll down like 5 tweets). Real classy.
I'm certain he's giving you a good and informed dose of poison

Do you read what you post? Those two classes are electives.
I bet you wouldn't feel that way if it were an elective on the Koran, or some other non Christian religious work.
Point being, this is literally the state respecting one establishment of religion over another. I'm not sure how you're not more concerned about the 1A violation, considering your previous zeal for that portion of our constitution
