Honest question and genuinely not suggesting anything, but, Isn't this what the second amendment is for?

Yo even homies headphones are a throwback.

You know he was using that with this on his trips to and from school every day.

Fun fact, when you have $1T, $1M feels like what $100 feels like if you earn $100k

18 year old girl, legal citizen, pushes her 12 year old brother. No injuries.

ICE takes her from Lynn, MA to Cumberland county, ME, and she's under threat of deportation?

Deportation to where??

This isn't America. This is beyond alarming.

I think the whole point of the ridiculous shit he's done in week 1 is to abuse the slow speed of virality.

Freeze budget, content gets created, gets reversed, frozen budget content is peaking viral.

Mix of what's going on. News says one thing, social media says another.

So yeah I think you're right, but I think the point is civil war.

We gotta somehow unify and get one another to see it's a class war.

Edit: I want to make clear that I feel this way because I think Donald Trump is way way smarter than we want to give him credit for. The man understands attention. That's why he dominated in 2016. And that's why he's dominating your news feed now. This is not an endorsement.

This is the funniest fucking thing. I hope they put some really tiny hands on the cliffs.

No, I didn’t confuse Japan with China. The US has been restricting China’s access to high-end AI hardware, research, and talent for years.

NVIDIA’s A100 and H100 chips were banned from export to China in 2022. When NVIDIA made weaker versions (A800 and H800), the US banned those too in 2023. The goal? Prevent China from developing competitive AI.

It’s not just hardware. Since 2018, the US has been limiting Chinese nationals in AI and robotics programs. In 2020, over a thousand Chinese researchers had their visas revoked because of “military ties.” US tech companies have also been pulling out of China—IBM, for example, slashed its R&D operations in 2024.

This has been a slow but deliberate strategy to control computational power. The fact that people are only just realizing it now says a lot.

Nope. Not the fanciest ones, anyways. The US has been cutting China off from high-end tech for years. In 2022, the government banned exports of NVIDIA’s A100 and H100 AI chips. When NVIDIA tried making toned-down versions (A800 and H800), the US banned those too in 2023. The goal was to stop China from developing advanced AI.

It’s not just hardware. Since 2018, the US has been restricting Chinese nationals from studying AI and robotics. In 2020, over a thousand visas were revoked to block researchers with ties to China’s military. On top of that, major US tech companies have been pulling R&D out of China, with IBM cutting a huge chunk of its operations in 2024.

People think China’s tech dominance is just happening on its own, but the US has been actively trying to choke it out.

 

A bakery in Conway NH is suing the town after being told their mural violates advertising signage laws. It seems the sign just has pastries and doesn't otherwise advertise the business, so they're calling it art and arguing it should stay. The town disagrees so they're going to court over it.

The bakery is suing the town for $1, and permission to keep the kids mural up.

This is a small business fighting to keep kids art on display. Suing for $1 is a way to signal that are willing to do this at a financial loss, and that the display isn't a means of enriching themselves but rather their community.

 

I'm approaching 40. I've been all over the internet my whole life. Mostly a metal head. I love me my prog rock. I love my folk, and a little indie here and there.

I won't give away too much, but if you know where I know this music from, give me a shout. I'm sure some of y'all are out tofu aware out there.

Pete Davis never got the fame he deserves in this genre. Maybe Foss platforms can give a hum le ho ie a signal boost. This is his most popular track with a band from cages ago, but peep his shit. He deserves it.

 

The bottom of the page there is a countdown that will expire at midnight Eastern standard Time tonight.

This company claims to be in Boston. They've received federal grants. I've done a small amount of digging, but it would be entirely within valves resources to set up such a company. They have a LinkedIn, but it doesn't really seem like anyone really works there? It seems like a viral marketing campaign.

There was a Reddit thread. A while back. Some people noticed classes in the HTML that referenced other half-lifey things. But, some people in that thread shut it down as nothing out of the ordinary.

Then, there have been recent leaks with regard to a new game being developed. Someone found a resume suggesting that a person had done voice-over work for an unreleased project with Valve in 2023.

There was also a leak of some files with .hlx file types, and I guess prior to the half-life alyx release some .hla files leaked.

In the .hlx file leak, I guess there was found references to things like the EV suit.

Here's a YouTube video that touches on all of this.

Acceptable range of answers:

"I mix mustard with mayo"

to

"I emulsify a blend of herbs and mustard seeds and chilis in clarified butter to make and herbaceous fatty hot spread"

Bonus: what's it best on?

 
 
 

Legend has it, Eyedea wrote these lyrics when he was 14 years old. What the actual fuck.

 

This is an appreciation thread. All 4 games are iconic to me. Way underrated.

To me, midnight club is everything need for speed wanted to be. Need for speed had a few hits and many misses. Midnight club was 100% hits. And they aged incredibly. They're still fun as hell.

If you never played and you dig arcade racing games, go play. It's an open city racing game. Variety of racing types, endless challenges, and really great mechanicsi just wish it was as.pophlar as it deserves to be.
