What I got for a $12 dollar cheese and ham sourdough toastie in an Australian Airlines flight.
That has a negative dollar value; that is not even food. I never buy anything edible that’s not prepackaged and shelf stable on flights for just this reason.
Probable burglar casing homes in the neighborhood earlier.
No, I haven’t gone full NIMBY; it was fairly obvious (my gf talked to him on the sidewalk briefly). We’re almost always home and I’m one of those evil “stand your ground” types, so his chances are low.
I haven’t run across one of those in quite a few years. Everyone needs to make a living I guess.

A ‘Crazy’ Idea for Treating Autoimmune Diseases Might Actually Work.
I’m not a fan of Elon Musk. That said, it is amusing how he acts like a complete clown half the time and still frequently outplays his soi-disant “smarter” foes handily.
Perhaps they are not quite as bright as they think they are. Their moms were all wrong; turns out they weren’t actually the smartest boy/girl in the world.
I’ve been told I’m “too quiet” my entire life. And yet when I do talk, people don’t usually like it all that much.
There’s a reason I am quiet….
Estimable utility functions themselves require the existence of agentic consciousnesses with well-defined, bounded goals. There is no evidence of this. The evolutionarily-optimal nebulously-adaptable fulfillment of needs and wants means a constant dance of homeostatic internal states of infinite possible configurations with other beings also participating (even without realizing) in the same gavotte.
Thus, a combinatorial explosion of infinitely-uncountable utility adjustment and maximization, ever in flux and doomed always to be beyond the grasp of any mathematical formalism.
You have to read books and papers or you’re just clowning. It might be fun, but you’re actively making yourself dumber.
Women largely got the world they asked for…and don’t like it.
Funny how often that happens in life, isn’t it?

Trump eyes privatizing U.S. Postal Service, citing financial losses. Ugh. The “financial losses” are artificially imposed.

So guess what new requirement has come down from upper management. Plutes are really, really afraid now. Good.
Brush With Russia in Baltic Points to New Flashpoint in NATO-Moscow Shadow War.
Every time I think about it, I cannot fucking get over how fast the “progressives” went from #MeToo to “If you don’t allow an ‘unhoused’ berserker to assault you and your kids with impunity in public in the way they prefer, you’re MAGA!”
I mean, damn. What in the hell? Isn’t that just astounding?
We have done this and it’s mostly complete now. I’ve spent roughly $4,000 on computers, related gear and other crap in the last few weeks because it’s all about to get vastly more expensive. And if we go to war with China, it’ll become unavailable altogether. Tariffs and possible world-altering conflict are on the way. Now is the time to prepare, because later I’ll be saying “I told you so.”
(Also, I think she meant “coats” there instead of “costs.”)
What’s the smartest thing you’ve ever done?
Left Lake City, Florida, and became a paratrooper in the army.
Otherwise, I would’ve been in jail or dead.
“ Today, there is already preliminary information that the Russians have begun to use soldiers from North Korea in assaults – a significant number. The Russians are including them in consolidated units and using them in operations in the Kursk region. So far, only there. But we… https://t.co/imqQfHuscF

Open-field disorganized assault with no vehicular support. Alrighty then. What a colossal waste of people and purpose.
TIFU by calling my girlfriend’s music taste ”basic.”
Playing music out loud in a pricy restaurant on a phone is a huge red flag. It’s good she kicked him to the curb — for his sake.
That said, never insult anyone’s taste in music. It can only go wrong…and just, why? It’s pointless. Everyone has to start somewhere. And not everyone is going to be the kind of listener you are or care about music at all. I’ve known several people who just didn’t listen to music at all. Any kind. Ever.
Hell, all y’all can see how broad my tastes are and because I don’t listen to full albums “true” music aficionados have called me basic and unrefined in the past.
Referring to anything by Taylor Swift as “underground,” though, is pure crazy. That part made me laugh.
