Wasn't there some kind of military exercise around Greenland the other day? I assume these are the countries that participated?


And I think the Trump cabinet noticed, because they pivoted! (The actual analysis is at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46630190 btw)

Edit: see also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affair_of_Epidamnus#The_Atheni...


For that matter, if we're still doing WTO, I doubt their pivot to economic extortion falls under the safe-harbour of "justified trade measures"...

Also consider the tools and materials available today. I don't know much about Michelangelo, but I imagine people's opportunity for sheer iteration (due to availability of qualitys pens, pappers, ink etc) is magnitudes higher (and cheaper) today.

Fully agreed. The Talk pages are a very interesting read these days. I things continue down this path I think Wikipedia will be a lot less relevant in the coming years, at least for current events and things related to the on-going culture war.

I've been on Gentoo for my gaming desktop for like 2-3 years now and I don't think I've ever had an update break anything.

I will say though that my valgrind is broken due to march native. :)


If anyone can help adding AVX512 (and other CPU features) support then that would be most welcome. It’s a major task though.

If I where the officer in front of a reving car my instinct would be to move out of the way, not pull my gun and fire at the driver.

[flagged]


You are wrong on several points. It is policy not to shoot a car like that even if it is driving at the officer (which this vehicle was not doing and can clearly be seen from multiple camera angles). Shooting the driver will not stop the car, it will just kill the driver.

And in this case, shooting her made the situation much more dangerous. It caused her dead foot to stomp the gas pedal, dangerously accelerating the car uncontrollably until it crashed on the side of the road.

An officer yes, the person you're replying to, no.

Minnesota is a duty to retreat state (in public).

Some animals are more equal than others.


IANAL but I imagine that does not apply to traffic stop.

To be clear, I was saying it applies to "an officer." But not a civilian like you or I, since MN is a rare state with duty to retreat.

Presumably a traffic stop is always performed by an officer.


MIGA?


My favorite computer was a MIGA


Make India Great Again, something coined early 2025 around Modi's visit in US. According to brief we search.


I've also seen it stand for Make Israel Great Again, given the unwavering support for Netanyahu and his agenda from the administration


I see Google's AI and top results all give this answer, but "MIGA" most certainly does not refer to India in this or most contexts, but to Israel. It is a criticism of Trump's pro-Israel actions, and presumably Google recognizes its anti-semitic usage and so will not suggest that as an answer unprompted.

I'm pointing this out specifically because I'm surprised to see that Google and also DuckDuckGo both suppress the true definition if you don't already know it.


An in-depth commentary over some parts of a recently released segmented 100% run of Quake (https://youtu.be/po4IQ1Janzk) on Nightmare difficulty.


I'm an enterprise user and I find Windows 11 a complete disaster. They've managed to make something as trivial as right-clicking a slow operation.

I used to be a pretty happy Windows camper (I even got through Me without much complaint), but I'm so glad I moved to Linux and KDE for my private desktops before 11 hit.


If anything, right click is faster thanks to dumping the ability for 3rd parties to pollute it with COM controls that needs to be init'ed.


I can't think of a single thing where I prefer a web app over a native alternative, unless it's for one-off use.


I will pick a web app over a proprietary "native" app every time. That way, it can stay in a sandbox where it belongs. Discord, Zoom, Meet, Trello, YouTube, and various others, all stay in sandboxed browser tabs.


I have several web apps installed over the native alternatives. Discord is the most prominent one; I've found their native app has been getting shittier by the day over recent months, while the web app remains as snappy as any Safari page. Plus I can run an adblocker and other extensions in the web app which improve the experience.


Most of the “apps” are 200 MB native monstrosities that could be served by 20 kb of JS.


This happens all the time in my country. The navy has all kinds of gear deployed in the sea that could be interfered with.

Edit: Looks like they were a bit late to veto it here though.


This is obviously because Donald Trump notoriously hates offshore wind turbines.


Perhaps worth recapping that he hates them due to a specific personal event (the same is true for everything he does, if you dig deep enough to find the reason). In this case he developed a golf resort on the East Coast of Scotland. Meanwhile wind generators were also being deployed immediately offshore. He became enraged that the view from his new development was blighted by the turbines. So it isn't even due to oil industry bribery. It's personal.


I don't know why people think wind turbines are ugly... Someone who admires gold toilets, no less. I think the opposite.


I think you just found the compromise:

Gold painted wind turbines. Art of the Deal!


In that case he would just approve wind farms that fuck with people he dislikes.

It seems to me this is very much intentional to keep oil demand up and prices high.


The problem there is that other people don't hate wind farms the way he does.


I’m pretty sure the list of people Trump outright likes is approximately one.


Much like a certain White House Correspondents' Dinner incident.
