Monument

Didn’t they hit that with their own missile while failing to shoot down a drone near the refinery?

I’m sure it also took drone hits, but the big explosion was from a wayward Russian manpad.

My high school math teachers would be so disappointed in them.

But AI is stupid.

In 4 hours, the internet would have dumped enough porn into it that it would think ‘the little death’ is its goal and then try to fuck humanity to death.

(That plot could either be a good camp movie, or a bad porn.)

Did they turn off the algae treatment system Obama installed?!?

Obama did install ozone generators in 2012.
More info on the renovation.

Prior to the 2010-2012 renovations, it was filled with municipal water, and leaked 500,000 gallons a week, it lacked significant plumbing systems, and had to be drained twice a year and cleaned. It used about 30 million gallons of treated drinking water a year. It also lacked key accessibility features, like paved paths around the pool.
The renovations cost upwards of $34 million. They got the pool off of municipal water and connected it to the tidal basin. They made the pool shallower to use less water, and painted the bottom of the pool a darker color to enhance its ability to reflect the monument.
They didn’t manage to fix all the leaks but who cares when the water comes from the tidal basin that it leaks back into?

I think Trump is doing this to try to step on Obama’s accomplishments while giving hand outs (no bid contracts) to cronies.

It did not need to be done. He’s just an asshole.

A British comedian friend living in the U.S. used to (15-ish years ago) have a joke about asking a guy outside a bar in middle America if he could bum a fag.
He would impersonate the most southern accent he could muster and say “I don’t care. Ain’t no business of mine.” As part of a joke about cultural differences/how the U.S. could be unexpectedly wholesome.

Never asked if that was a true story. We fell out awhile ago.

I have the forgetting kind of ADHD, so I straight up don’t know what I do and don’t have. This could be handy in that regard.
But I also can’t really see myself using this because the debt of keeping it current would be a nightmare.

What about even later? Were they seen going home for the day?

Do the workers need to be rebooted? Or like, is the rope they’re using not long enough? Are they just walking laps with a too-short rope, endlessly attempting to enclose a volume they will never have a long enough rope to enclose? Just chasing the end as it moves away from them with each step?
Does their struggle represent the American dream? Is there a smug geometry teacher somewhere yelling “this is why you need to know the formula for perimeters!” at their news source?

At least it’s not because they’re millennials.

She is pretty cool.

I’m on a tear today, as you can tell by my interaction with my wife.

Oh, you’re right! You did jump to insults right off the bat.

Then you stalked my account to try to create more personalized attacks.

I mean, you can keep arguing but you will have to do better than to accuse me of trying to be a good person. Unless you were trying to say I’m fake, but
I actually care. And the same sort of toxic user behavior that ruined Reddit long before the administrators did is something I try to meet with good humor and a sense of silliness. Maybe the Lemmy community can keep that at bay.

If your antipathy and rage at other people is such that you cannot break through it to realize someone is cracking a joke, then… I don’t know. I don’t have a constructive suggestion right now.
No joke here: Are you physically in pain? Maybe something you don’t realize is bothering you? Possibly some other drain on your psyche? You’re putting out a lot of hate for being random text in my phone.

They are criticizing the article for being non-comprehensive.

You are criticizing them because you misunderstood their point and I guess you felt the need to keep digging until you started throwing insults.

You know - I don’t think I need to offer further commentary. The facts are in evidence.
Take a deep breath. Think of something you’re grateful for, and tell someone you care for them. That is your penance.

I do not know.

Either it wasn’t, or the movie is more engaging than I realize because aside from one scene, I didn’t think about her vagoofer at all.

Yes, I called it a vagoofer instead of vagina, labia, or vulva. (Or as my phone would like me to say, Virginia, Latvia, or Vatican.) Mostly because my wife is mortified by the term, and I like seeing her mortified. I’m going to read this comment to her after work. I will update it to let you all know if she squealed with embarrassment or rolled her eyes at me.

Edit: Elevated reaction, middle of the road on the mortification scale. She tried to hide her cute little smirk by looking away and told me to “shutthefuckup” - said as one word and entirely with love, mind you. When I got to reading the part about reading the comment aloud, she blushed and gently pushed my shoulder telling me to “get outta here”.
She also does not recall having noticed Margot Robbie’s vagoofer.

It’s almost like it’s on purpose or something.

Well, I thought my misinformation was funny.

It’s to check to see if commenters know how to escape the symbol. Congratulations! You passed!

Source: I made it up.

Wait, so they suspended someone who is already on voluntary leave and has been cleared of the allegations by literal international judges? At the same time, Judges who supported the investigation have been personally sanctioned and treated as if they are terrorists.

It’s almost like Israel’s threat to destroy him and the court is coming to fruition.

I thought this sounded familiar.

Twitter collected user phone numbers and email addresses for the stated reason of account verification/security. It then used that data for advertising.

It’s currently banned from profiting from deceptively collected data, is required to allow users to utilize MFA not tied to their phone number, must assess the privacy and security risks of new products, must disclose data breaches to the FCC, and limit employee access to user private information.

Not that a Republican FCC would enforce the rules, but this would make it official that Twitter can do all those things. Expect Musk to be sliming into the DM’s of everyone.

I just bought a Mac mini for $50 from a local university’s surplus store. I plan to use it as spare hdd space for another device (it came with a 1tb drive), but even being older, it’s still very capable.
Perhaps a similar device could work for you?

Responding with an implied insult is transparent and seems small. It was already fairly dumbed down.

Your defensiveness is getting in the way of understanding my statement. The issue was a lack of faith in your audience.
This isn’t Reddit, and you don’t have to act like that here.
