Early?

I’m part of a group of people obsessed with secure, symmetric key exchange. It’s Difficult.

Space Weather Do you understand space weather? There are many myths and a lot of hyperbole out there which confuses peoples' conceptions and expectations. I've just published a brief space weather course giving the facts in a concise and factual way. It should help you to understand the terms

It’s called “toilet” because every time you have to poop it’s a little struggle.

Morning at the office

Fine. Then what do YOU call it?

Using GitHub Copilot is mostly like that scene in Frozen where Anna and Hans (no relation) are singing and he sings, "We finish each other's" and she sings, "Sandwiches!" Anna is Copilot.

Happy Confederate Surrender Day! At the battle of Gettysburg, Minnesota soldiers captured Virginia’s battle flag and Minnesota still has it. Virginia keeps asking for it back and each governor tells them to get stuffed. www.twincities.com/2017/08/20/m...

Haha, joke's on them. I already bought everything I'll ever need last year.

i miss the early internet. people were like “you gotta see this dude. this cat sure is long.” and they were right. it was really long. it never shoulda gotten any more complicated than that.

I wonder if the bird flu will counteract the measles?

The people who literally zombie-swarmed Applebee's in 2020, pressing their face against the glass shrieking, who claimed that being asked to wear masks is a civil rights violation, freaked out over every possible grievance, etc Are now going "listen, great sacrifices and hardships are necessary"

Wait, wait, wait... wait. Russell Brand... is a COMEDIAN?

One of my dogs has taken to sitting on my head.

The Iceman Go-eth. RIP

As the old Chinese proverb says: “May you live in just the dumbest fucking times. Just epically goddamn stupid.”

Just watched “Civil War” and, man, that one hit a little too close to home for a Sunday night flick.

"America has always been lucky because it's separated by two oceans from anyone that would attempt to invade and surrounded by friendly allies." [Canada, Mexico, and Greenland]: Yeah, we thought we got that deal, too.

If you take nothing from the current state we are in, you should at least be less concerned with “imposter syndrome”. The world is literally run by morons that have no clue what they are doing.

Looks like I've made an embarrassing public mistake. Time to do what alpha males like me do in these situations: whine and avoid accountability

Was just reading John Quincy Adams' oral arguments before SCOTUS in the Amistad case and this part seems, uh, pretty relevant

And you all said they hadn't thought this all the way through.

Please don’t share this picture. Apparently the president hates it.

Innocent people — undesirables, political dissidents — are being sent to camps here and abroad. A scapegoated minority is being persecuted, made an example of. Wrongthink is being stricken from government institutions and civil society. There is no more "if" authoritarianism arrives. It's here.

My family got its Irish heritage (and became Catholic) because my great, great grandfather married an Irish woman in a cynical ploy to court the Irish vote in Chicago. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/William...

Key Lime Pie for Pi Day

holy shit this question at the Rep. Chuck Edwards town hall 🔥🔥🔥
