Red Bull tastes nasty. So you'd think that these people just don't know how to make soda.🤷🏿♂️
But every now and then they release their limited time flavors, and they're really good! Like Sudachi Lime!
But then summer ends, and they go back to their two regular flavors: nasty and sugar-free nasty.
@mekkaokereke I figure they're playing to the "tastes bad == powerful" cultural attitude.
@mekkaokereke This is one of my favorite Paige Bueckers stories. Heck, one of my favorite UConn basketball stories.

Everyone in the Trump admin: despite no qualifications, I’m an expert and in charge.
Me: Can I call myself a Nuclear Physicist even though my PhD is in Nuclear Engineering, given that one of my two focus areas was Nuclear Physics? But also, I suppose, to be specific I mostly do cyclotron and beam physics. Yeah probably not I’ll just say I’m a goober or something
When people ask me what the phrase "artificial intelligence" means, my short answer is, it means "venture capitalists, give me some money".

My life is off the rails.
While cancer has knocked me to my knees, my husband has been on 24 hour duty for 2½ years. The burden has driven him into the ground.
The curves are too tight, and the engine is at full steam. Derailment is inevitable.
I can't figure out how to program us out of this pattern. For the first time, Python doesn't seem like the right language.

Can anyone in Napa advise me if there is a good local garden shop? I would like to purchase a gift certificate for a friend who is having some serious health issues. She finds solace in her garden and we would like to send a thoughtful gift.
Thank you!
Also, Peter Gabriel is out to get you.

Skimming BSNES's core code, what have I overlooked?

And it is most certainly boosted now. 👍️
@lisamelton I was delighted to learn of the group’s existence. Also that my city’s mayor is pushing for money to support LGBTQ groups
@zackwhittaker one day my cyberdog will be included
@yaelwrites send in a snap, I would love to include! (I have long dropped my cybercat-only policy 😹)
This is a nice user interface for a RAG application. When you query the US federal campaign finance data, the app generates SQL, shows the SQL and the data results, lets you edit the generated SQL, gives an AI-generated interpretation of results, and links to a downloadable PDF explanation and markdown transcript.

'In Parliament the week before the announcement, the Green co-leader secured an admission from the #National Party's own #Minister of #Finance
that extreme #inequality is #corrosive for the country, the #economy, and #democracy — as stated in the press conference. The Finance Minister whose government oversaw $27 billion being added to the Rich List in a single year, per 1News and Waatea News, conceded the damage on record — and then delivered a Budget that did nothing to address it.'

'The Green Party's tax announcement on 20 June 2026 is the most significant policy statement of this election. Not because it is perfect. But because it is honest about the problem, verified in its costings, grounded in the work that IRD and Treasury have already done, and unambiguous in who it protects.
'96% of New Zealanders pay the same or less income tax. 99.7% do not pay the wealth tax. The Big Four banks pay a 0.06% levy on $9.53 billion in profits, per Better Taxes NZ. The top 0.7% of corporations return to a 33% rate. The top 0.3% of wealth-holders pay 2.5% on net assets above $10 million. And 1,100 people a year pay 33% on inheritances above $1 million, per 1News.'
'The Green Party's costings have been independently audited by Infometrics, including modelling for behavioural change and avoidance risk...'
was out at a customer site today doing some work because i do like to get out occasionally. anyway, since i was suspiciously hanging around with four phones and a laptop, when i saw one of their employees walk by, i felt inclined to introduce myself, lest they thought i was some sort of criminal.
we exchanged hellos and i said, “i’m mike and i…”
before i could finish the guy said “they don’t pay me enough to care who you are, go nuts”
so #infosec tip of the day, pay people enough to give a shit
@jonny we have Default::default() at home.
@tedmielczarek
i am reading some blog posts about why and they are like "well if we had default params, then you would need to still specify all the intervening ones if you wanted to set a param midway through the params with defaults because there are no named params" and in my mind i am like "yeah so this is also why there are named params"
