Not much earlier. The trade can't become official until the 2nd, which means the first team bears all the injury risk until then. Especially for Huff, who has 17M fully guaranteed remaining. So it'd be awkward: trade team wants Huff in shape b/c paying 17M, Eagles want him doing nothing.

Also was only fooled by the hot Nazis, of which there are none here

Indy is also 100% not fooled by people pretending not to be Nazis

The explosives weren't active: in the document it mentions they were inert.

(I may or may not have broken down Ghostbusters' characters and development in college, why do you ask? 🤣)
comment in response to
post
All of the 3 original Ghostbusters are *supposed* to be weird. You get an intro to that super fast (Venkman's a creep, Egon tried to drill a hole in his head, Ray let Venkman take out a horrible mortgage and got suckered into buying a rustbucket). Winston's there to stress "these guys are weird"

That movie had *TWO* cultural touchstones!
First is the song (obviously)
and the second is popularizing the phrase "X is toast" which mostly *did not exist* prior to Bill Murray ad libbing it.
comment in response to
post
I mean, you're literally supposed to hate Venkman at the start of the first two movies. He's an utter creep in the first and a total fraud in the second. And then you slowly get invested in this creep guy becoming not one.
note Winston (the everyman) never does anything remotely iffy in either

But! That's a bull$#!+ number, because generally, the writing part of a person's day is low calorie usage, which means for a typical US diet, they're *carbon negative* for that portion.

"that's the total energy to keep a human ALIVE"
More than alive. It aggregates everything they're doing *including using ChatGPT*. Actual energy cost to keep a human alive is absurdly tiny (order 100W) - so 0.1 kWh, or ~20 grams CO2e.

I'm constantly astounded at how any adult American can be so ignorant of what *fascism* is!

what he's neglecting to mention is that fascism is historically successful at stopping __everything__

I mean if you apply the standard 10x multiplier for Musk in the correct direction, it's still insane but not like, wacko insane
comment in response to

of course if people don't realize that Musk just makes up numbers constantly left and right, that's an *additional* problem.

The building on fire (Fort Rapids) is a pretty darn visible building to anyone who drives through central Ohio on I-70 : it's right off the first exit heading west after the 270 split.
It's also this huge TikTok thing - if you've seen stuff like "America's Largest Abandoned Waterpark" - that's it.

Seriously, how doesn't Jeff Oh Kern have a Wiki page.
Bought stuff at auction cheap, refused to sell/upkeep them - his asking prices were absurd and was almost impossible to contact.
Sentenced to jail time (avoided, I think?) multiple times, has multiple warrants out
Whines to court every time

It mattered that he couldn't lead his party. In the modern US, that's almost all that matters of a President (sigh).

every time I think that I'm reminded of this scene from Dr Who, and I remind myself I do not think I have the self control to be in the same room as Elon Musk

Yeah. Seriously could be a massive turning point in space exploration, and I was just shocked when I saw NASA funding opportunities open with insane rapid timescales. I was like, holy cow, it's happening.
Now I realize it's a pissing contest and I'm ethically unsure about being involved.

I seriously have no idea why NASA/Artemis politics seem to actually matter to these mega billionaires - I mean, it's friggin chump change - but I'm finding it harder and harder to deny that it isn't driving them.

The answer to "how it interacts with the code" is usually "in as confusing a way as possible"

oh god I've spent more of my life explaining async issues to people than I ever wanted to
Once you do understand it you tend to be overly paranoid and freak out about everything, but the reverse is so so worse
and usually makes people think I'm the problem ðŸ˜

he...
he's campaigning with *Trump*
and saying that the FDA suppresses *exercise*

"hyperbaric therapies"
lol, he even included one that the FDA literally supports and has a page on.
apparently his only issue is that the FDA has the gall to say it won't give you superpowers or make you live forever

Anyone who thinks you can preserve modern software within the DMCA is nuts.
There are really good efforts to preserve games made before cryptographic lockdowns out there (the Zelda N64 reverse engineering project, f.ex.). Those don't work.
You just lose everything with 1201. It's just gone.

this is not intending to forgive any of those 9/11 decisions, they need to go away, but I don't think things necessarily would have been any different with someone else is what I'm saying
This is ludicrously not true with Trump
comment in response to
post
I actually have a lot of understanding for GWB, who I protested (more protesting the Court). 9/11 was an extreme situation, it's not fair to judge in hindsight.
WTF are they reacting to now?? Oh, government imposed all these lockdowns, that made us mad, let's elect a fascist??? How does that work??

By a staggering coincidence, "I wish we wouldn't always go straight to Nazis" is also what France/Poland/etc. said.
