Is "largest" here just "most pounds of munitions"? Seems weird to compare it to "nuclear equivalent pounds of TNT". Like, 1lb C4 != 1lb TNT anyway, right?

Can't tell if she's suspicious or engrossed by a bug. How'd it go?

I'm just getting:

It’s still unclear if they had a backup anchor to the piton, which is a common practice for rock climbers, said Joshua Cole, a guide and co-owner of North Cascades Mountain Guides who has been climbing in the area for about 20 years.

Very curious if this is a case of missing safety practices, or of common safety practices not always being enough.

From the NY Times:

Mr. Alexander is an American Israeli dual citizen who grew up in Tenafly, N.J.

In 2022, during his senior year of high school, he joined Garin Tzabar, which prepares young people from around the world to join the Israel Defense Forces. He moved to Israel to serve in the military after he graduated and was assigned to the infantry.

Mr. Alexander was stationed near the border with Gaza in September 2023

From another article, he said something like "why should I pay for the Israeli government's mistake". Sounds like this falls into the 'just following orders doesn't protect you' category; not feeling a lot of sympathy.

Grassroots Leadership the organization who has been working to locate & represent the family. (No connection or other knowledge of them, just looking to highlight folks doing necessary work.)

I'm not coming up with a lot, but Bali Wildlife says:

The eyes are located at the base of the antennae on flat papillae.

Which I guess we can see clearly on the photo.

This is the way. Being able to hire people is one of the top things that affect company policy.

Apart from its digital gauge cluster that also serves as the rearview camera display, power locks, cruise control, and a forward-collision-warning system with automated emergency braking, the Truck offers little in the way of luxuries.

Sounds nice. I do like highway lane following, but not essential.

Thanks for sharing. All these experiences are very illuminating regarding the lesser impact of socialization, too. Like, I might have thought my female colleagues had just been told to cede the floor so many times they didn't often speak at meetings. And that could still be adding to it, but here are the same individuals with the same habits getting starkly different treatment.

Even knowing these trends from countless other stories and statistics, hearing each additional experience helps keep it in mind and see more often when it's happening.

I hope the repercussions land on Trump and his cronies, and but just on this particular show of global bullying around tariffs.

Short article.

Putin told Steve Witkoff, Trump’s special envoy, during a meeting in St Petersburg earlier this month that Moscow could relinquish its claims to areas of four partly occupied Ukrainian regions that remain under Kyiv’s control, the report said citing three people familiar with the talks.

So wait, Putin is willing to make a deal with Trump in which he cedes invaded land that he doesn't actually control?

I can't tell from the article if there's a real problem. None of the levels exceed FDA thresholds, and it sounds bad, but there's also no definite claim of harm.

Hah, yeah I got a Debian floppy and then tried to install packages over DSL. Somehow it didn't immediately kill my interest in Linux, eventually ran OpenBSD as my server for a while.

Citation?

"And he paid for, at least in part, a drone and explosives to be used as a weapon of mass destruction to commit an attack," investigators said in the federal affidavit.

What's "mass" about one drone? Is this just language to bring different legalities to bear?

Here he is:

What a mom, just reassuring her daughter the whole time.
