Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti “We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the ‘hero’ term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed. Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti.

"Please get the truth out about our son."

I finally got a video lmao

I just woke up from a nap and somehow while I was asleep, everyone on the bus has figured out we are not going to the right place

Damn, nice one Lucca

PROMISES MADE. PROMISES KEPT.

what u have to understand is that working on my novel, answering dms, and answering emails all cost 1 spell slot but posting? Posting is a cantrip

Oh now we need to see the whole setup

Well, thanks to the rad Christmas present from my sweet lil sis, I did it - I bought my first Warhammer figures, boyos

my one plea as we ring in the new year with Zohran being sworn in as mayor is to take some fucking wins

he’s not going to be perfect, there will be setbacks and disappointments, but take some joy and some pride in the good that comes out of this

good things are more durable when we celebrate them

When my wife’s family comes over for new years I make sure I’m a good little Japanese house wife, running around making sure all the plates and beer cups are full (especially grandma’s), and let’s just say, it earns the brownie points

Damn, that sucks. I’ve never had that issue at all on AM, but it’s inconsistent issues like that that are so frustrating…

I was under the impression that AM was better with local files due to iCloud music library, etc.; any particular reason you’ve stuck with Spotify?

"Did you see what Mark Cuban posted? Oh did you see the clapb—"

You shake yourself awake in the cold North Atlantic water. You are not online. It is July of 1858. You are a baleen whale, and you have changed your mind. The future most not come to pass. The telegraph cable must break.

One of the discussions on Chinese social media that I saw go viral recently is based around the 斩杀线 (Kill Threshold) concept.

This term originated within video games to describe when an enemy's health is near zero and can be killed in one hit / move.

It can also be applied in a financial setting

In 2023 I became obsessed with videos of dads in cargo shortswaiting in parking lots during Taylor Swift's Eras Tour. So when she came to town, I grabbed a camera and headed down to talk to them. I thought it'd be funny. It turned out to be something else entirely.

That’s awesome, how many have you gone through?

I wonder if a custom PCB for mechanical switches can’t be made to the same layout, so that you could keep going with the same/last one for a long time?

So classic; many memories on this board as it was the one with our family computer like 20 years ago

ZSA Moonlander: Next-gen Ergonomics An open-source keyboard for serious developers, creative professionals, and people who care deeply about their craft.

That sounds sick. My keychron has a metal case, and I dropped it on the brand new wood floor… not a good time

However I have now switched over to a Moonlander, which is for better or worse much lighter (and easier on the wood floor)

For one, it’s a lot easier to control the acoustics if they’re split (although they profitably both have stabilizers) and maybe slightly easier/cheaper to get custom keycaps. Another benefit is that you can program them separately if your keyboard allows it, enabling another layer.

Experiencing my first drive-in in Okinawa, haha

Hell yeah on the news though

Was definitely a comfort movie for me as a kid - had the DVD in the car and played it on many a road trip. Also, sick art style with the various gadgets he had, etc. Def a fan!

This movie slaps; it was fun as a kid and it’s hilarious as an adult. Plus, the CG is actually decent (I think?)

I say “sorryyy, sorry, sorry….” (from when the monk dude is stumbling around the lab) almost daily

100% me as well 😂

The question is, where are you dropping them when going all Rollercoaster Tycoon? 👀

I’m (reverse) dating myself, but my mom was pregnant with me when she saw Home Alone in theaters and laughed so hard she peed herself; always a fave story of mine that she tells, haha

Thank the maker- I was feeling clumsy for about three releases. Well done Apple.
