He doesn’t seem like the type that would give the administration what they want but it’s hard to advise someone to fight when they’re the ones that may have to endure the consequences.

The 800 was the better machine but god damn the 400 is so sexy 🥵

The idea of writing anything on its awful membrane keyboard is inconceivable though 😅

Atari 400 ✋

Came out better than I expected based on how crowded the pan was…

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth added a member of Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency to his circle of close advisers along with several members of the press, his ex wife, and his new puppy

FTFY (probably)

Please tell me you have not been cleaning the toilet with my Q-tip

If you’re in a position where you’re regularly eating frozen pizza, make a Presto Pizzazz Pizza Oven a part of your life.

Yes - it looks like a gimmick
\ No - it is not.

Sounds like maybe we should be more interested to see what Bill Owens does next.

Arsenic is found naturally in some foods, including fish and shellfish, and in waters and soils.

Inorganic arsenic is found in industrial materials and gets into water—including water used to submerge rice paddies.

Rice is easily inundated with weeds and other crops, but it has one advantage: It grows well in water. So farmers germinate the seeds, and when the seedlings are ready, plant them in wet soil. They then flood their fields, which suppresses weeds, but allows the rice to flourish. Rice readily absorbs the water and everything in it—including arsenic, either naturally occurring or not. Most of the world’s rice is grown this way.

“What happens in rice, because of complex biogeochemical processes in the soil, when temperatures and CO2 go up, inorganic arsenic also does,” Ziska said. “And it’s this inorganic arsenic that poses the greatest health risk.”

If I’m understanding correctly, the risk is from flooding the fields with contaminated water

A farm that relies on flooding the field with rain from a rainy season should be unaffected? Or minorly affected, right?

This is what goes through my head every time I see it 😂

I’ve decided it’s a feature; not a bug…

(Computer Based Training if you’re asking seriously, though)

We’re the Russians standing in bread lines, now…

Your HR’s CBT must be waaaay more complicated than ours if you need AI to help answer the questions 😂

“Your line manager tells you to ‘Grab them by the pussy; when you’re a manager they just let you do it’. Has this crossed the line into sexual harassment?”

⚪️ No. this is acceptable behavior
\ 🔘 Yes. You should report this to HR
\ ⚪️ You’re required to follow your line managers orders or risk dismissal for insubordination
\ ⚪️ Sometimes it’s good to relax and joke around in the office.

Bpii Mai Thai

Yes.

My wife is Thai. I knew Thai New Year was here but it still caught me off guard when she wished me a Happy New Year this morning.

If you mean quit as in actively deciding “I quit”, no. I definitely go days without checking in though. Usually because life gets in the way. And I’ve definitely been less active since the US election.

I don't know why this is being downvoted.

Because the circumstances of Khashoggi’s death were entirely different?

I hope you got Ernie’s consent to post this…

...nobody can afford to eat 50 eggs

FTFY

On an iPhone you can also do two consecutive dashes (--) to get an m-dash (—). I’m not aware of a similar shortcut for an n-dash.

(To be honest when I started typing this comment I thought it was 2 dashes for an n-dash and three for an m-dash)
