"Yeah, that's the thing. If you artificially cap borrowing rates, then you restrict the availability of credit. If you want to create a man-made recession, this is a good way to do it."

The Hidden Cost of a Missile: Why the Headlines Get Cost Wrong Since late 2023, the U.S. Navy has fired nearly $1 billion worth of munitions to protect ships in the Red Sea from low-cost Houthi drones and missiles.

Firing a pricey missile at a cheap drone may look absurd, but the full story is far bigger.

as much as I usually agree with people calling him not very responsible, T+1 was explicitly stated as a major goal of Project 2025

Running against Mussolini by agreeing with him on everything except the org-chart of his proposed train reform taskforce.

I genuinely like it for following the academic sphere, but the business side is mostly just empty AI written posts. It's the classic posting out of interest in an area Vs posting for engagement/volume

The audience is the exact same as the movies were. It isn't about the story for them, it's about the immersion into the world, and an extra six hours per book is perfect for that. They will lap this up.

Another chance to have a pope Urban missed

after all this discourse about British food joke's on us because we're going to have to boil all our food now too

15k steps today, all within my flat, pacing is exercise too

Before/after

I got a response from DeepSeek from the second prompt and after about 2 seconds it was deleted and replaced with "beyond current scope"

Is it bad that the Chinese Communist Party seem to have developed a ground-breaking AI model? Yes.

On Android, but I ended up turning my personalised autocorrect dictionary off and it honestly made it more efficient

An ancestor was convicted of conspiracy to steal large amounts of textiles from a warehouse and sent to a penal colony in Australia. This was on my Mother's side of the family.
The judge that sentenced the man, it turns out, was an ancestor on my Father's side.

good to hear! I don't think I have ever seen an ostrich with teeth before though

I don't think voters would ever credit an administration with wage growth, if you get a better paying job or a raise then you feel like you earned it yourself, not that eg. Biden did it for you

I explored 98% of the first area you land in on my first play through. The remaining tiny blacked out area of the map was Gale's portal. Never met him.

Yes, we always have a few people who are remote at any given time

I am getting ads for gold again. Did you know that gold is a liquid asset? Not at room temperature, idiots.
