@Polymarket He's announcing it publicly so he can be the bad guy and the kids don't have to have difficult conversations with their suitors.

This is made to look like he's being stringent but he's actually coddling them

I just submitted an expense report for a $3K 49-inch curved ultra-wide monitor.

The CFO asked why a single monitor costs more than a used Honda Civic.

I told him I'm currently tracking global network topologies in real-time.

I explained that on a standard 24-inch screen, I'm experiencing peripheral data truncation.

I said that when you truncate network topologies, you leave the perimeter vulnerable to lateral data siphoning.

He asked what lateral data siphoning is.

I just sighed, rubbed my temples, and muttered something about DNS spoofing.

He immediately approved the expense.

The monitor arrived this morning.

It's absolutely glorious.

I can have 3 different YouTube tabs open at the same time while playing Old School RuneScape in the corner.

My productivity has completely plummeted, but my situational awareness in-game is unparalleled.

I told the rest of the executive team that the monitor allows me to see the code before it even compiles.

They don't know what compiling means, but they feel very safe.

If I have time, tomorrow I will post a full situational analysis on the situation on the Dobropillya direction.

In short - it's extremely bad for Ukraine, and has sharply deteriorated. Some of the strongest positions on the entire frontline are falling very quickly in an extremely unusual manner.

Reporter: Why is the U.S. intervening to support the Japanese yen at this time?

Trump: Japan’s been very good to us, with the exception, of course, of Pearl Harbor.

A mile of water standing in a borehole generates 160 atmospheres of pressure by sitting still. That is enough to run a pressurized-water reactor.

Deep Fission built a 15 MW reactor canister for a hole like that: a mile of rock around it for containment, a mile of water above it for pressure and cooling. The canister arrived in Parsons, Kansas, this month.

The first data well reached 6,000 feet with standard oil-field equipment. Next: lowering the canister through a full-scale borehole without fuel.

This machine is a perfect representation of humanity’s current state. A million-dollar marvel coordinating a thousand individually actuated punch elements to turn flat steel into computationally optimized geometries, with the pin coordinates scrawled on the side in Sharpie.

There has been a devaluation in the relative value of a Jewish life.

This is an 80,000-tonne hydraulic forging press from China’s Northern Heavy Industries, one of the largest metal-forming machines ever built.

But it is not simply a machine that bends metal like traditional presses do.

At this scale, forging is about changing the internal structure of the material itself, compressing the metal, refining its molecular grain flow and eliminating hidden defects that could cause failure decades later.

Machines like this are used to create some of the most critical components on Earth, aircraft landing gear, titanium aerospace structures, nuclear reactor components, massive gas turbine rotors and ship propulsion shafts.

The metals being forged are among the most advanced engineering materials available, ultra-high-strength steels, titanium alloys and nickel-based superalloys designed to survive extreme temperatures, pressure and millions of fatigue cycles.

An 80,000-tonne press is an industrial ecosystem by itself. The press, hydraulic systems, furnaces, manipulators and supporting infrastructure can require hundreds of millions of dollars in investment, with hydraulic systems requiring tens of megawatts of power to control forces equivalent to thousands of tonnes.

The biggest industrial machines often do not make the final products. They make the materials that make those products possible.

BREAKING: Iran held direct phone calls with Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Turkey warning of striking them if they participate or support the announced US and Israeli attack in any shape or form, per Tasnim.

Iran’s FM Araghchi, after speaking with Pakistan’s Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir, Turkey’s FM Hakan Fidan, and Saudi Arabia’s FM Faisal bin Farhan, further warns "any participation and alignment by regional countries would be met with a decisive and proportionate response from Iran’s Armed Forces, with those responsible bearing full accountability for all consequences arising from such adventures."

in tahoe they have working dogs whose job is to flush wild bears from dens theyve established in residential areas, posing a risk of human bear encounters. this results in some of the most kino animal photography of all time

An extremely formative moment for me was about ten years ago when I was in Papua New Guinea for work and I was chatting to an Australian official about trade and economic development there and he very straightforwardly told me that, look, we invest a lot and we try, but at the end of the day, there's a guy who runs the port, and he has this uncle who is a fisherman, and you can schedule some freight to arrive at the port, but if the uncle shows up and decides he needs the port berth for his fishing boat, the guy who runs the port will let him have it and cancel the freight because that's just how it is.
