There are also 12 people not currently on Earth (9 on ISS, 3 on Tiangong).

You plant 'em in the spring and eat 'em all summer
Wintertime without 'em's a culinary bummer
You forget all about the sweatin' & the diggin'
Each time you go out, you pick you a big one...

There's only two things that money can't buy and
That's true love and homegrown tomatoes.

TSA will start charging $45 for alternate ID check for flyers without Real ID
This entry was edited (17 hours ago)

in reply to Lauren Weinstein

When they invented TSA, I stopped flying unless forced (by my employer). I do not have a RealID motor vehicle operator's license (which is in no sense an "ID"). I'll just let my employer pay the $45, and I always have the backup of a passport.

And why would anyone trust RealID, since ICE seems to ignore that when deporting American Citizens?

in reply to Lauren Weinstein

Bribing TSA agents is now legal, says Supreme Court.
Correction, bribes are banned
Offer a gratuity instead. TSA agents will appreciate it

Web sites that ask you to upload your resume and offer to match you with jobs are a con. All of them. With the possible exception of LinkedIn (and LinkedIn is just barely, sometimes, an exception). There was never a clearer example of "you are the product." (And that part is also true of LinkedIn.)

Dice, Talentify, WayUp, Monster, Lensa, Jobot, Swooped, ALL OF THEM. That industry-specific one you really like? THAT ONE, TOO. Oh, you *run* one of these service? YES, YOU, TOO, ARE FULL OF SHIT.

Some students at my school are launching a job website, I made a fake email address to sign up and step 2 is a page where they ask you to upload 3 forms of ID. I told them that the site shouldn't be live, there isn't even a terms and conditions yet. They said, "you're an English teacher, what do you know?" And now all of my students are joining a site that stores ID's who-knows-where...

Great example of how we can speed up the development of micro- and nanoscale fabrication by nicking bits off nature. Couple of issues: There's an expensive pile of microdispensing gear behind that nozzle, and it's going to be a real bugger to unclog!

I wonder what they use for Z height detection?

Karma doesn't care what the secretary of hegseth says. He's such an undisciplined, unprincipled person, it's hard to believe we won't see some brilliantly ironic consequences for the unfit military leader who said to kill em all.

A Durian is both a fruit and a unit of time. The latter is defined by the amount of time between one is cracked open and when the first person flees from the vicinity due to the aroma.

Related to the unit of times used in parts of Europe and Iceland called the Surströmming and the Hákarl.

You can't get a blueberry pancake in New Zealand.
Partly because they just don't do pancakes, but also the New Zealand Blueberry (Tūrutu) is mildly toxic.

Illegal boat strikes.

“Kill them all” orders.

The regime is working overtime to make us forget about the Epstein files.

We can’t forget. The Epstein survivors deserve justice.

My latest is on the push to normalize pedophilia, the misogyny that enables predators and the way the ‘othering’ of sexual assault victims closely mirrors the ‘othering’ of disabled people.

We are not others. We are not expendable. Do not look away.
