Bought a $1,742.80 camera online from BestBuy. The FedEx delivery driver stole it. FedEx admitted it. But BestBuy won’t give a refund. They said we need to “work with local law enforcement.” Thought everyone should know if you buy from @BestBuy and a @FedEx driver steals what you paid for, your money is gone. Neither company will make it right. I’ve spent over $30K at BestBuy and will never spend another penny there.

The New Glenn rocket exploded on the pad during a static fire test tonight on pad 36. Video from the new SpaceX building getting built. Watch it all and have your volume up to hear the explosion.

You can now run a full Linux operating system inside a 6mb PDF. Someone embedded a RISC-V emulator inside a standard document. You don't need a virtual machine, just a PDF reader. → Runs interactively inside the file. → Powered by a tiny RISC-V emulator. → The entire OS fits in just 6MB.

In hindsight, they probably should have done just that. Permanently.
28 years ago today, 7 members of the hacking group @L0phtHeavyInd told the U.S. Senate they could "shut down the internet in 30 minutes."

Hopefully about as relevant as Token Ring networking. 😑

Disappointed to wake up and see that he still hasn’t assumed room temperature and that the other one still hasn’t joined the band.

【絶望からの逆転】バイク事故で「一生、立ち仕事は無理」と宣告された天才シェフ。彼が選んだ“驚愕の復帰方法”が凄すぎる。 オーストリアの料理人、ピーター・ラマー。2010年、非情な事故が彼を襲い、シェフの命である足に深刻な障害を負いました。 「もう二度と、厨房には立てない——」 普通ならここで諦めるはず。しかし、彼は違いました。 ▼ 常識を覆す「空飛ぶ厨房システム」 足がダメなら浮けばいい: 友人のエンジニアと協力し、天井走行式の吊り下げ椅子「Standing Support」を自作。 重力からの解放: 体重をハーネスに預けることで、足への負担をゼロにしながら、厨房内を誰よりも速くスライド移動。 技術×情熱: 障害を「最新装備」でカバーし、以前よりも効率的な調理スタイルを確立。 ▼ なぜ、この話が世界を救うのか? 彼は単に自分の職を守っただけではありません。この発明は、今や高齢の職人や、同じ悩みを持つ世界中の労働者に「現役を続ける希望」を与えています。 「道具がないなら、作ればいい。道がないなら、切り拓けばいい。」 この不屈の精神に、あなたは何を感じますか?

RIP Ted Turner. I met him way back when we had CNN1 and CNN2. I said “Hello, Mr. Turner.” His very casual reply was “Call me Ted. My enemies call me Mr. Turner.”

Chungus has arrived. Hearing the FedEx driver drop it on my front porch(not “place it gently”, but *THUD*); made my stomach lurch. At least it landed with the red “FRAGILE” sign facing up where he could get a good look at it. I hate FedEx. 😡

There is some kind of liquid falling from the sky in metro Atlanta. What is this?! Could it be “The Rain” that the anchients spoke of? But we thought that was just a fairy tale. #atlwx
