How's the Healthcare plan? Does it offer dental?

I find it telling that the phrase "illegal domestic terrorist organization" implies the existence of "legal domestic terrorist organizations". Given that 70% of domestic terrorism is from right wing extremists according to NIJ, this is chilling

All of the other phrases refer to chronically online memes, so I'd be willing to bet that this one is as well. Thankfully, the source is still alive, so we might get an answer from them

More than apologize, they should lose their jobs. If people are being fired over their responses to the indecent, people should lose their jobs for this too.

Maybe its my Google algorithm, but a search or "up right down down down" instantly brings up helldivers content. I guess I'm more shocked at news outlets for not catching this

I had this same thought. Not sure why people seem to be missing this...

BREAKING: The scene at the Rayburn Building is pure rebellion. Protesters are swarming in during live hearings on Medicaid cuts.

Security’s losing control. Because when the government wages war on the poor, the poor fight back.

What tool are you using?

Good to know! thanks!

Wouldn't this also give them the power to get off of the lists that they are on? Maybe a distinction between block lists and follow lists could help alleviate my concerns

In the span of 4 years, a cousin, childhood friend, college friend, and previous partner all came out as trans. They opened my eyes to the existence and issues of trans people. Learning how to be a good friend and ally took conscious effort and growth, but so does anything worth doing well.

To add to this, dems leadership have frequently been wrong and needed to be steered in the right direction. We see this actively today with the lack of clear direction from leadership and vast array of tone deaf responses from our representatives. We fight fascism by inviting productive discourse

To pop the stack of the conversation a bit, I think it is valid to call out issues within our allies. United doesn't mean blind compliance with the message from leadership. We need to invite discourse to ensure all voices are heard and that the best outcomes can be reached.

Chaser:

I saw this explanation.

The official White House explanation reads like it was written by Grok or ChatGPT. An LLM might not know that 4 > 0

Sen. Cory Booker concludes at 8:04 p.m. ET.

The chamber applauds.

"My friend, Madame President, I yield the floor."

I'm sick of hearing politicians say that we need to "fight" and that they are "fighting" every day, but when faced with a hard choice they cave. Instead of telling us they are "fighting" we deserve to know what steps they're taking. Where is the legislation, filabusters, anything to prove your worth

This is a comfortable lie we tell ourselves, but I'm not convinced that lawyers have the power in these situations we think they do.

I'm personally not going to watch. As much as I'm curious, I know it won't do me good to watch, and he doesn't deserve the ratings

I find this... oddly inspiring? The possibilities are endless!

Zoom in on the phantom galaxy image from the original post. A silhouette of a funky little guy is in view, highlighted by a white square outline

The original image of the phantom galaxy, but with the outline of a white box circling the silhouette of a funky little guy

I spent awhile staring at this image today and I noticed a little guy hanging out on one of the right spirals. I'm gonna call them Phil!

This explanation is above and beyond what I expected, thank you! I'm excited to try and digest the paper you linked as well! I'd be interested to see if any research has been done into the structure of the dust/ice. I imagine that different shapes might withstand the heat/pressure differently

This is an incredible example, thanks for sharing!

What is the makeup of the dust discussed? Is it an overacing term for trace elements other than the C02 and H20, or do we have deeper insights into what makes up the dust

Another important caveat that I don't see discussed enough is that accurate code != good code. I can't speak enough about how important maintainable code is to the long term success of a team or project. Once you've got the solution, it's vital to refactor it into a consistent maintainable form.

i love pictures like these because they really put how small we are into context.

we are TINY.

I'm not a teacher, but i do mentor newer developers at my job. I definitely find myself able to tailor my mentorship style to fit individual needs. Works at a small scale, but i imagine it's not nearly as straightforward at the scale of university classes. Seems like an important skill to develop
