Olympic Figure Skating scoring revamped 20 years ago and people still hate it.

Solution: Grade on a curve. Highest and lowest scores eliminated from the averaging. Problem solved.

Network appliance at home that isn't exactly reliable (but also isn't worth replacing right now). Created a script to monitor and restart the interface when it fails. If interface is still down after that, reboot the appliance. Run as cron. Simple.

I did provide feedback, but if I may: one question asked if podcast length was a consideration... but it didn't specify "too long" vs. "too short."

IMO, over 2 hours is getting too long. I'm just a single data point, but I definitely find myself skimming through episodes more than I used to.

The latest KFP mentions /kindafunny - the website links to /kindafunnygames - they have similar (but both outdated) "about" pages.

It's overhwelming. lol Somebody make up my mind for me! ;) @joeynoelle.bsky.social, help!

@kindafunnyvids.bsky.social I still don't know if I should use patreon.com/kindafunny or patreon.com/kindafunnygames - they both seem active!?

This cannot be stressed enough. The American people do not want this. The current administration is not listening. Be careful.

Cool. Well, we aren't doing any of those things, so... what now?

Trump Warned of a Tren de Aragua ‘Invasion.’ US Intel Told a Different Story Hundreds of records obtained by WIRED show thin intelligence on the Venezuelan gang in the United States, describing fragmented, low-level crime rather than a coordinated terrorist threat.

BREAKING: Hundreds of sensitive U.S. records obtained by WIRED undercut the Trump administration’s claims portraying Venezuela’s Tren de Aragua as a unified terrorist force invading the country. Intelligence agencies spent much of 2025 unsure TdA even functioned as an organization on U.S. soil.

I knew a few of these were coming.

I'm increasingly convinced that Miller and the groyper element in Trump's administration want to trigger a second US civil war, and that's a reason why Frey and Walz have been so cautious about deploying Minnesotan police and security forces around these ICE/CBP incidents.

@troyhunt.com Have you heard any rumbles of a data breach at Alarm.com? Multiple employees received a bogus email with phishing links overnight; subject line implied that our security system panel was armed in the middle of the night.

Anybody else get a spoofed email from their Alarm company last night? Multiple people at my company with accounts for our security system got the same faked email about our alarm system being armed in the middle of the night. I suspect a data breach.

@ericbaudour.bsky.social Blindside: Snake Eyes watch along. Just saying.

P.S. If you already did this and it was a Patreon exclusive that I missed, I owe you guys more money.

Last night was the first time in my nearly 3 years of EV ownership that my car's "scheduled charge time" didn't work correctly. Unsure why, I didn't lose power our internet connectivity as far as I know? But I woke up this morning and my card hadn't charged. I'll have to fix that tonight!

Bad Internet Bills All of the bad internet bills. One website.

Democrats can’t meaningfully claim to oppose Donald Trump while simultaneously pushing bad internet bills like KOSA, EARN IT, Section 230 limitations, and online ID laws, that *empower* the Trump administration to further censor, surveil, and prosecute marginalized people.

@fightforthefuture.org

@analogue.bsky.social basically sells things that sell out in ten minutes, but that "Duo" just sits there - people just uninterested in Turbografx 16 / PC-Engine at that price. I wonder if they offered even a small discount code to existing customers if that would move the remainders?

Oh, so this is why the Department of Labor decided to deploy the term bizarre term "Americanism" in its winking neo-Nazi post today

Robert Reich Our Economy Is in Danger. Here’s Why

Around 70% of the U.S. economy depends on consumer spending. As wealth concentrates in the richest 10%, the rest of America can’t afford to buy enough to keep the economy running. This is a huge problem — and even America’s most powerful CEOs are starting to sound the alarm.

@padresj.bsky.social My home internet just went out... Mobile still works, but I feel like I'm stranded on a snowy island in Pennsylvania.

So, uhhh... What's your preferred method of ripping DVD and Blu-ray?

ISO? MKV? Preferred application(s) for ripping and playback?

Repost this everywhere you’re active on social media. Send to your friends and family who aren’t.

I'm glad I don't know who Peggy Siegal is, but DAMN does she say some racist stuff in those Epstein emails. She spells like a proud product of inbreeding, too. Just search for the word "Avator."

Anybody else having weird internet problems today? Several sites I tried to visit have been down. Multiple internet connections. Multiple ISPs.

the mRNA vaccines are an absolute miracle of science that saved millions of lives and we're going to throw the entire technology out because they could not vaccinate society against putting the worst and most ignorant people alive in charge of our medical system

Justice Department moves to drop case against alleged top MS-13 leader, seeks to deport him instead The Justice Department has moved to drop a criminal case against the alleged East Coast leader of the MS-13 gang less than a month after he was charged, saying they plan to deport him instead.

tl:dr

Trump Admin: "He's a terrorist! He leads MS-13! He has committed unspeakable crimes! He is a danger to the national security of the US and must be punished!"

Courts: "Wow... ok. Show us the evidence and we'll expedite."

Trump Admin: "... uh... never mind."

Bat shit insane if you know this industry.

OMG. I was wondering that as the tariff numbers made no sense, but this is even dumber than I thought. I mean, this is "fail your econ 101 class and have to go meet with the professor" bad.

Tank markets, rich buy cheap stocks, Americans suffer, ultra wealthy are fine.

When will you realize you're not like him?
