my conspiracy theory is wall street is doing everything it can to keep everything from collapsing until dems take the house and senate so they can blame the implosion on them

My electric teakettle has 0.5L marked on it as minimum and 1.7L as maximum. That makes sense. It also has 1.2L marked on it. What is special about 1.2L?

Pet rent is such a scam. Often on top of a non-refundable pet deposit. On top of a maybe-refundable normal deposit, which covers the same things as the pet deposit.

What if all these "orbiting data center" proposals are really elaborate tax and fraud havens? Who collects taxes on revenues that are collected 1000 miles above international waters? Who prosecutes Ponzi schemes that are perpetrated there?

Dear America,

Please stop saying that Donald Trump is the Leader of the Free World. He is not. We have Zero Respect for Him.

Signed The Free World.

Wouldn't it be nice if you could say goodbye to TurboTax and file your taxes for free, online, and directly with the IRS?

I have a bill to get that done.

I pay every penny I owe in taxes, but I must say that this year really felt like a gut-punch on account of all the illegal shit that the federal government is doing with our hard-earned money

In #Rust, `struct S<T>` yields a compiler error, but `fn f<T>() {}` does not even yield a warning. Why not?

It’s not a ceasefire if the killing continues on one side. Mass atrocities are being carried out by Netanyahu in Lebanon with U.S. backing. (1/3)

A common #rust mistake I see is using `//` (plain comment) instead of `///` (doc comment). It doesn't seem like rustc or clippy knows to warn about this, which seems weird. #rustlang

I always forget about O_TMPFILE, since it's a comparatively recent innovation.

Are you thinking of fsync followed by rename or do you have something more elaborate in mind?

We shouldn't all be forced to live in this episode of The Twilight Zone constantly. This is no way to live.

Through a series of coincidences I now possess three mini bottles of Scotch that were stored in a drawer at Donald Knuth's house from 2018 until today.

Screenshot of a tweet by Rep. Ted Lieu stating that U.S. military law prohibits war crimes, including strikes on civilian infrastructure that cause disproportionate harm. The tweet warns that service members must disobey illegal orders and could face prosecution by a future administration if they commit war crimes.

Jury duty again, ugh.

What I really hate about jury duty is how they just waste your time with it. You show up just to sit around and then go home. How about not doing that?

The United States of America has become a shithole under Donald J. Trump. If you voted for him: Fuck you.

1. This is what America looks like with a President who is both a sociopath AND losing his mind.

2. It’s a good time to remind every member of the U.S. military they swore an oath to the Constitution, not an individual, and they have a duty/they are legally obligated to disobey illegal orders.
