it's the most obvious inference given we can rule out "benevolence." pre-price cut it was good, but not the clear winner it is here.

I tend to think that Luna being post-trained by Sol was far more successful than they anticipated and left them with a "there's no reason to use Terra" problem.

I LOVE THE SOUTH

apropos of nothing, I've been doing a deep dive trying out different text editors so I can tell people what's good

I had at one point tracked down a set of dimensional drawings for a Cray 2 because I desperately want to build a replica as living room seating.

I have yet to figure out how to do this without my SO murdering me in my sleep.

pinch flat on carrying about 30mph downhill, not a car in sight.

even with a MIPS helmet, several weeks recovering from a mild concussion.

sure beats what that would have looked like otherwise.

there's a place here that rotates a Southern Caprese on their appetizer menu: deep fried pimento cheese discs with grilled green tomatoes and a basil-peach jam.

The STi is afflicted with Carolina squat because there aren't enough daylight hours to get the rear done.

needed to put my feelings into meme form so I don't yell at people

the answer rhymes "alantir."

I can't imagine what's driving these decisions.

the top one is what georgia's carry license looked like until ~2011.

literally a crappy piece of laminated paper with no photo that looked entirely fake.

it was not uncommon for people traveling to other states with reciprocity to have issues with LEOs being like "wtf is this? no." lol

This screenshot is the result of receiving a fundraising email from the DNC for Graham Platner on June 29, a week before this news broke.

GTFO with the martyrdom complex.

Canoo had a super cool one in the works and had even delivered a couple of early prototypes to NASA in an awesome livery. They were also working on a really neat pickup based on the same platform.

Then the entire company collapsed because the CEO was more interested in grift than EVs lol

a couple of months ago I spent an afternoon pulling together data sources to ground this in more than vibes.

there's a massive PDF with the compiled data and some basic high level analysis, but the tl;dr in this hero chart is "there's a clear trend since the 70s/80s."

Two of the most important datacenters in the entire southeastern United States are in this streetview image.

The internet doesn't work without them.

Phones don't work without them.

This kneejerk "datacenters are bad" nonsense is pure ignorance.
May 21, 2026 at 4:09 AM
This is the problem with this current discourse.

I can pretty much guarantee you that none of these people know what a datacenter actually looks like.

If you've ever been to downtown ATL, you have driven past one of those 200+ datacenters without realizing it.

On Android, long pressing the home button brings up a Gemini overlay, including an autotranslate button.

It's a still and not real time, but it's absolutely amazing for figuring out what's going on in e.g. Chinese YouTube videos.

Notice the TV in the background here.

idk if you caught it but I went on a brief sidequest on discord the other week.

claude thought about the request for a solid 4 minutes before giving up and just writing a python script to write the BF code (and a BF interpreter lol).

Driving through BFE and needed a bathroom stop. Punched the nearest gas station into GPS and Google Maps is on one today.

I mean, it's a Subaru. Okay."

"Now ford this creek, lol."

This got an audible "yoooooo wtf?" out of me.

GoPro has a m43 camera coming?

I absolutely do not need this but I kind of want it.

Assuming it can film for more than 2.6 minutes without overheating, at least.
