The hypocrisy from an account that defends someone who has said that all money that the Harry Potter franchises makes goes to hateful, anti-trans legislation and causes.

F*ck your nostalgia. F*ck your defense of this franchise because "it's your childhood" or whatever.

Raw and Night Sight versions of tonight's full moon using my Pxel 9 Pro XL. I now understand why some go for pro level phones.

That's 5x optical zoom plus 6x software zoom. A lot of noise in the dark areas, but there's no way my previous phones would get shots like that.

You have to love those times when weird atmospheric conditions prevail. On the way into work, my car radio was clearly picking up an FM radio station from Virginia Beach ... 380 miles away!

Apparently ICE is about to start putting out ads on platforms?

If these ads come to Twitch, here's a (hopefully) handy tip when one comes on:
1. Click the gear icon, bottom right of the player.
2. Click "Report Playback Issue".
3. Select this option.

Hopefully this will work!

It says you need more dad hugs. I know, that's not really related, but any excuse for more dad hugs is a good excuse. 😁

I've been a die hard fan since I first heard "Late Goodbye" as the end credits for Max Payne 2. Bought every album since their debut. Sadly, there aren't enough fans here in the States for them to tour this side of the Atlantic.

Okay, let's have fun with this. Get ready.

Define your music(al) taste in six artists.

1. Poets Of The Fall
2. Pat Benatar
3. LOVEBITES
4. J. S. Bach (yep!)
5. Huey Lewis and the News
6. Disturbed

It's actually more diverse than that, but this is a good summation.

My new @prusa3d.com XL is ready to play. Unfortunately, it looks like I damaged the touch screen during installation, but it still works so I'm not worried about it. If it bothers me at some point down the road I'll replace it.

Tampa has never hit 100 degrees: Here’s why It’s true. Tampa has never reached 100 degrees. That’s at the airport, which is the official reporting site. But why?

Agreed that this seems improbable, but there was an article about this a few days ago.

It's selfish and arrogant and it needs to stop. I understand concerns about raiding out to someone who they don't know at all. But you can't tell me that larger streamers don't know any smaller streamers who are worth raiding.

This is infuriating.

I just witnessed a #Warframe streamer with over *700* viewers abruptly end their stream without raiding out.

There are so many smaller Warframe streamers who would have absolutely short-circuited to get a raid that size.

RAID OUT, DAMN IT!

Ghost gun proliferation spurs crackdown at Thingiverse, the world's largest 3D printer model file repository β€” lawmakers also ask 3D printer vendors to create AI-based systems to detect and block gun ... Thingiverse is cracking down on gun-related models using a new automated system.

Look, 3D printed guns are bad and stupid. Don't do it.

HOWEVER, "You need to connect your printer to our cloud service so that we can verify that you are printing a part that we approve of" is a BIG. FUCKING. NO.
