  1. I hope you're right, but it's been a called shot by the president that he wants to take the power of the purse away from congress, which would allow him to de-appropriate funds at will. https://www.propublica.org/article/trump-impoundment-appropriations-congress-budget
  2. Having a home media server has been one of the best time and effort investments for entertainment. Bluray ripper gets a ton of use, but it's nice knowing things will never disappear and I'm getting a good bitrate for the content. It's wild how much the little Celeron that could can do in that box. Intel's quicksync acceleration in the integrated GPU is a godsend
  3. Why would it? The fire keeps em warm
  4. The explosion of memecoins is something else, especially with the president firing the starting pistol
  5. lulz a pastor went from praying at the inauguration, and then left the stage to immediately go promote a memecoin It's gonna be a fuckin hoot to watch the intersection of evangelicals and cryptogrifters. Is anyone getting in on the rugpulling action? Or is that more for the NFT thread?
  6. these are the same idiots that genuinely think the nazis were socialists because of "national socialist" is in their name. Nevermind that hitler named it such in part to troll the communists and explicitly targetted socialism for literal obliteration
  7. I did engage honestly - I think your position of pushing more money into fintech, when we have manifold examples of their fragility and danger to average americans, is absurd. An ad hominem attack would be "everything you say is stupid because you're part of $GROUP" - criticising your ideas and stated position is just the table stakes. Maybe go try your echo chamber goldbug board instead if you want attaboys instead of critical thought
  8. Lol that was faster than I thought it would take BBC: Instagram hides search results for 'Democrats'

    How much are you looking to spend and what do you have already? Creality looks to be releasing an MMU soon if you're already in that ecosystem
  10. Lol you want to push MORE chips onto the fintech pile after watching firm after firm go up in flames and take away thousands of Americans life savings? You're a clever one huh
  11. Getting a solid few inches of snow accumulation here in Spring Branch. On the roads its a half inch of ice and slush, and then an inch or two of snow. It's an absolute casserole out there. Really fun morning though with my daughters first snow and my husky mutt going buckwild in the snow on our walk.
  12. Good lord, they're playing church offering music while people are filing in to the inuaguration. Gonna be going hard cryptochristofascist right out of the gate I think I'm gonna have to turn this off lol
  13. Yall this trump and melania memecoin business is fucking wild. He's immediately grifting the fuck out of his base We are barreling towards the bad Back to the Future timeline
  14. 'Member when we made an incoming president sell his family's peanut farm to """avoid conflicts of interest"""? Now we have POTUS and FLOTUS competing on grifting their base lol. At least we're finally at the point where we can take the mask off and admit that it's all one big fucking grift and scam
  15. https://www.cnbc.com/2025/01/20/melania-trump-launches-cryptocurrency-ahead-of-donald-trumps-inauguration.html lmfao what a stupid fucking reality we live in now
  16. If you're earning $15/hr, you're probably not excited to go pay $60 to go to the movies with a date or $100+ for a dinner with drinks. Shit is more expensive every year and pay is flat. The presidential crypto is doing gangbusters though!
  17. I mean it looked like a work instead of a shoot and a bad blade job by a clapped out WWE hall of famer to me /s But lmfao "the president is gonna wet his beak" we are fucked, the graft is worse than the 1920s

    Scott Manley's overview video had those details, as well as some of the freeze frames of flames coming out of the control surfaces joint
  19. Hah thermal tiles are washing up on the beach in Turks and Caicos

    Nope, everything was within parameters. But the risk profile of future missions is certainly going to be greater now that there's a datapoint of exploding on ascent and tossing a huge debris field. It still causes a ton of flight diversions and a few declared fuel emergencies. Everyone was safe and all that, but the FAA is likely to want to mitigate future stresses on the system with a larger hazard area which will take longer to obtain
