Highlight of my workday was a designer saying, โ€œweโ€™ve deprecated that cat, so Iโ€™ve designed this New Cat, if we could get the New Cat in the next sprint, that would be great.โ€

Me: heck ya weโ€™re putting New Cat in next sprint ๐Ÿค˜

Love it. Thanks as always for teaching me when I ask dumb questions as opposed to gate keeping. Truly appreciate it

That looks super fun. As a non cyclist, do you swap tires for this ride? Or carry extra?

My hunch is each constituent buildable part had a volume attribute and they just summed those. But your voxel approach would work as well, if a more complex/accurate approach was needed

The resultโ€”an increase of executive power at the expense of legislative authority-does not stand alone. Just last week, this Court granted another stay allowing the President to ignore a federal statute. That decision permitted the President to push forward in dismantling the Department of Education, even though Congress created that agency and tasked it with performing vital functions. See McMahon v. New York, 606 U.S.
(2025)
(SOTOMAYOR, J., dissenting) (slip op., at 1). If the majority had any valid basis for taking that action (relating, say, to the breadth of the District Court's preliminary injunction) it did not appear on the face of the Court's unreasoned or-der. See id., at _ (order) (slip op., at 1); id., at (SOTOMAYOR, J., dissenting) (slip op., at 18). That order simply signaled that the President could carry on, even in the face of a conflicting statute. So too does this order, and with the same lack of care. The majority has acted on the emergency docketโ€”with "little time, scant briefing, and no argument" โ€”to override Congress's decisions about how to structure administrative agencies so that they can perform their prescribed duties. Wilcox, 605 U.S., at
_ (KAGAN,
J., dissenting) (slip op., at 5). By means of such actions, this Court may facilitate the permanent transfer of authority, piece by piece by piece, from one branch of Government to another. Respectfully, I dissent.

By a 6-3 vote, SCOTUS lets Trump fire the Dem members of the Consumer Product Safety Commission, who are protected against removal by statute.

Dissenting, Kagan says the majority is undertaking a โ€œpermanent transfer of authorityโ€ from Congress to the president.

Theyโ€™re not on BSky, but if you like guitar & vocals driven folk, check out the Teskey Brothers. First heard them in AUS, saw them in SF, & theyโ€™re coming to SD later this year. Pure emotion. I preordered their newest vinyl & they included a signed card, BS w fans after the show, just sheer class

Definitely one of those โ€œI had no idea until I/my family member/partner was in the ERโ€ impacts of T1D. I think maybe because itโ€™s on the more complex end of the โ€œways T1D kills youโ€ spectrum? But definitely needs to be more well known

Disappeared games are definitely weird. That was one of the saddest parts transitioning from AAA console/PC to mobile. So many games never to be seen/played again

In any case, purchased a copy and will dive into it this weekend. Cheers to a well-shipped game may it rest in peace ๐Ÿป

Iโ€™m trying to make light of a horrible situation but this shit is just so enraging to me, I really believe in the capacity of government to do good things and we have the absolute worst, most incompetent, evil people in charge and people are suffering and Iโ€™m livid

Yupppp. Plus wealthy, retired folks have far more time & resources to spend advocating than working folks with long commutes. So their โ€œgrassroots groupsโ€ are over-represented on street corner signfests and council meetings (ofc you do a great job rallying more of us to show up! ๐Ÿ™Œ)

I also like this in the Warrant Canary sense, albeit without the โ€œyou canโ€™t disclose due to national securityโ€ reasoning, as if they become more popular, _not_ having this statement at the end can subtly imply the usage of AI at some level, even if the presenter is not in support of that usage

Amen. And IIRC they are relatively cheap compared to the other resultant costs (Ambulance, ER, etc)

Just adding to a popular thread, learning basics of using an AED is as effective, if not moreso, than basic CPR (when an AED is available, as is the case in airports, transit centers, hospitals etc)

Learn basic AED, always call 911, and administer AED, and you can save a life

First off, hi Scott, nice to meet you and go fuck yourself

Second off, โ€œbasically a dead endโ€ is the PERFECT place for a traffic circle. Itโ€™s the Platonic Ideal. Youโ€™re arguing against someone who sortโ€™ve likes cheese and sortโ€™ve pasta and saying Macaroni and Cheese is an eyesore

Always good to be wary and I also dislike generic โ€œdiabetesโ€ headlines. But this treatment is specifically for Type 1 Diabetics with no self-producing insulin capabilities

What were they actually gonna do here? Ask every brown-enough person for their papers to go to the fucking baseball game?

This is the most slam-dunk, anti-American thing I can think of. You need a passport to go to a Major League Baseball game now? Malpractice not to make a huge deal out of this.
