Why is it that dudes like Sam Altman, Zuck, and Michael Cera have deeply punchable auras? Altman and Zuck are total assholes and need a good Rear Admiral-ing and locker-shoving, so thatβs obvious, but Cera just seems like a normal person, and yet, the urge to punch him us immense.
@octothorpe Humans have an instinctive aversion to things that are almost, but not quite, Human. This is because qlippoth (empty, demonic shells) like them once hunted us in caveman times.

you realize thatβs like a whole fetish thing right?
If you are using an iPhone and would like to contribute to OpenStreetMap in a very easy and gamified way: @streetcomplete is now out for iOS!
Your contributions will not only improve CoMaps, but a whole range of OSM-based applications:
@CoMaps @streetcomplete I like the idea, but I canβt answer the first one I looked at because it doesnβt have the right answer. The answer should be yes. Is there a way to say βnone of the aboveβ?

We've launched in the USA today!
We cannot overstate how excited we are to have made it to this point. Preparing maps, friends that have helped contribute to data collection, training our model to detect most player's swings/putts has been a journey.

I often recruit people with about 10 years of career experience. I reject applications from people whose e-mail address has digits in the username. I could never respect anyone who just accepts the first username offered by a platform.
@fesshole I often recruit idiots with about ten years of experience or more. Why? Because There are a lot of them. One such example are those who would make the singular assumption, which has about as much chance of being true as someone picking the exact reason out of a million reasons every single time, that someone's email address which contains numbers was a decision made of them by a given email system, or that the person is unrecruitable simply due to this fact. But you do you.
AM broadcast is a technically interesting and somewhat endangered medium. The low frequencies mean that signals routinely travel well beyond their local coverage areas, especially overnight in winter. So there's a bit of mystery in tuning around the dial late at night; you never know what you might pick up.
Sadly, industry consolidation and the growth of higher bandwidth media (FM, satellite, podcasts) has greatly reduced the variety and local focus of programming. But it somehow hangs on.
The rapid decline in recent years of local content on the mediumwave bands has considerably reduced the romantic mystery of tuning around and seeing what you find. It's mostly now a sterile mix of mass-produced, syndicated right wing talk, sports, and so on. But there are still a handful of stubbornly local stations producing their own programming.
There were various slides about sexual response cycles and now we're watching a video of a talk about taking the shame and stigma out of sex
@shauna Please keep updating. We are fascinated.

The antenna field is in the final approach and takeoff flightpath for SFO airport's runways 28L/R (and 10L/R), and so the site has special markings to warn pilots of a collision hazard. In addition to the usual tower lights and red/white paint, 3-dimensional "HAZ" warnings were installed around the field. These are easily visible in areal photos; see, e.g., https://earth.google.com/web/@37.5471204,-122.23429544,0.73120256a,577.14725587d,35y,0.01179999h,0t,0r/data=CgRCAggBQgIIAEoNCP___________wEQAA

@maryjane thanks for the #websummit video . Here is a related article for more context. https://www.irishtimes.com/world/europe/2026/11/10/housing-crisis-anger-the-dominant-emotion-in-lisbon-as-web-summit-rolls-into-town/
The distinctive stacked dual antenna arrangement is used to lower the radiation angle of the antenna, concentrating transmitted power to the "ground wave" and reducing energy that would otherwise be sent upward into the sky.
The smaller (300 foot) freestanding mast in the background left is not in current use. It can be used as an emergency spare antenna for KNBR during maintenance of the taller main antenna.

Nerds with battling facebooks groups are squabbling about this at the moment.
Hegseth & staff were at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington Cemetery today. As they leave, chatting & someone laughing, all against the rule of silence & decorum at the tomb, the soldier guarding the tomb had to loudly reprimand them, just as he would do if they were anyone else.

Respect.
