  1. 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
  2. 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.
  3. 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
  4. 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
  5. '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
  6. 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
  7. 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!
  8. 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
  10. 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
  12. As long as you're driving into a protester, any lane is fine it turns out
  13. A 2 basin sink sucks ass, fills the under sink space with plumbing, and is just less useful than a large single basin. Before my current house, every place I have lived has had 2 basin and I'm never going back. If you can't replace the basin though, putting in a new faucet is only $150 or so and can make it seem nicer
  14. That's 100% the play, and the Democrats are more than happy to step on that rake again
  15. Lol he released DMs and revoked verified status of twitch streaming goblins that called him out. He's gonna be in the Whitehouse beefing with nerds on Twitter while defunding public services

    Those are generally used for descent, not ascent. But I have seen some folks getting freeze frames of fire licking out from the inside near the fin joints
  17. Booster is working great, Starship didn't make orbit it would seem
  18. Wouldn't Bruce Willis be a better ambassador for trump?
  19. I'll believe it when quantum systems are generalizable to start solving actual problems. But yes the promise they present would be earthshaking. It would also completely break modern information security and bumblefuck cryptomarkets, by virtue of (theoretically) solving blocks and crypto keys in O(1) time rather than a constantly escalating exponential number of calculations
  20. Thing is - large language models ARE the next big thing when it comes to handling extremely large and complex sets of data that are spread across a variety of different modes. There's been some fascinating research with LLM's being used to quickly explore possibility spaces within mathematic theories in academia. But that sort of usecase AIN'T what's being sold. Every "AI" widget at CES was just the same shit from last year with a chatbot front end slapped on it. There's definitely more hay to be made, but right now the leaders are leaning into AI slop. Hell, Meta considers AI slop for boomers to be a critical part of their platform strategy for FB because it keeps engagement up
