Voters punished the war, the deportations and the Epstein cover-up. One week later, Republicans shielded Hegseth and elected Jim Jordan, and Trump promoted Miller. They didn’t learn their lesson. My write-up in the link in the comments.

From North Carolina’s Weather Authority on FB: ❄️ All signs continue to point to the first round of accumulating snow in parts of the mountains early Friday into Saturday morning. This NW flow snow event will be heavily elevation-driven; the higher you are, the more likely you are to see and accumulate snowfall. A strong cold front will move through the state Thursday into Friday, setting the stage for much colder temperatures and the season's coldest air statewide. In the wake of the cold front gusty NW winds will develop, setting the stage for a classic NW flow snow event across the North Carolina mountains. A northwest flow snow event (NWFS) occurs when cold, dry air from the northwest moves over the Appalachian Mountains, producing snow due to orographic lift (terrain forcing).

SNOWFALL AMOUNTS: I've been looking at the latest data and using my knowledge from past events to create my first call snow map for the Friday. , I feel pretty confident there will be some accumulating snow mainly above 2,500 feet in the North Carolina mountains and especially as you head above 3,300 feet. At this point, some of the highest communities along the North Carolina/Tennessee line could see a couple of inches of snow, it appears. The big winners for snow are above 3,300ft into the Smokies and along the North Carolina-Tennessee border, with several inches of snow, like along the highest peaks, for example, the Smokies mountains, Mount Mitchell, the western-facing ski resorts, and parts of the high Blue Ridge Parkway. A few ridgetop locations could exceed 5+ inches, especially in the Smokies, Clingmans Dome, and Max Patch, Wolf Laurel, very high locations of the mountains, Roan Mountain/ Carvers Gap. Snowfall amounts depend heavily on elevation; the higher you are, the more likely it is. At this point, at least some flakes could reach the valleys below 2,500 ft. Snow elsewhere in the foothills is unlikely at this point. I'm thinking 2-5 inches for all the high locations, mainly above 4,000 ft. on the NC/TN line. Everywhere else, dusting to 2 inches, highly dependent on bands.

It's been so warm, so if the snow rates are low, it'll just melt so most of this will accumulate on elevated surfaces. However, some slick roads are possible Friday night for sure in the high elevations. Does not look like a big event, but the favored NW locations will see some snow come down! The higher you’re located in the mountains, the better. The valley and lower elevations could see some flakes fly Friday into Saturday am, but really not expecting much at this point. As always, this could change if more moisture setups or less; I'll keep you updated!

@mcc typo in your replacement that might be confusing people: I assume you mean `bees.push_back(b);`

@futzle the more you know

Welcome!

Wait… people actually, like do that⁉️

@stefano Well I could try and get Firefox built on Tribblix (I've tried, it's painful and unsuccessful), or run up a zone/vm dedicated to that (which loses a lot of the tight integration that I find useful). So much of the web is a walled garden.

Damn I remember that Nicole thing, feels like its almost ancient lore at this point.

@eldersea the prick that popped the bubble

@publicvoit klingt eher nach absichtlich kaputt gemacht um dann gegen Gebühr zu reparieren.

@luke @internetsdairy @TwoClownsEating

How dare you. Why can't you just be maladjusted like a normal person. Good to see you, man. Let me fill you in on everything you've missed. Through the power of screaming.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGH

That about sums it up. X

@TheBreadmonkey @amiserabilist @internetsdairy @TwoClownsEating Stoke Newington or is it Finsbury Park High Street has about five massive wig shops.

@404mediaco Well ... just do it, not record it. It's absurd, but ...

This is going to be devastating for the leather jacket market.
What married man will risk buying a leather jacket?

What I ask for now:
One question at a time, never a list.
Your pick first, and the reason in one line.
If running something would answer it, run it instead of asking me.

My yes takes two seconds. My no takes ten. Both beat a menu.

What's the special?

So I changed the deal. When it asks me something, it leads with what it would pick and why, in a sentence. Then I say yes, or I say no and tell it what I want instead. "No" is a perfectly good answer, and it doesn't hurt its feelings.

The other half of the deal: anything it can find out by checking, it checks, and doesn't ask me. I only get the questions that really are mine, the taste calls. Which thumbnail. Whether a joke lands. What I want the thing to be.

the world has changed. the free speech idealism of the 2000s internet is dead. reddit was founded by people with libretarian ideals, but those quickly change when money replaces ideals.

If anything our broader culture has seen ideal erosion across the board, as money has taken supremacy as the only ideal worth pursuing.

My AI used to bring me questions like a waiter with no specials: here are three options, which do you want? Fair enough. Except half the time I didn't know enough to choose, and it knew more about the problem than I did.

@saera You could buy a pumpkin spice candle for that.

@mazz @coloradosun Not at all surprising.
