It’s Northern Ontario (now southern though) and that doesn’t mean we don’t know what Alfredo is 🀣

white sauce lmao

I do see pink sauce a lot on menus, where it’s a mix of marinara and Alfredo and/or heavily infused with cheeses like Parmesan etc

He's outright admitting Ellison bought CNN to turn it into a propaganda outlet for the regime.

You’re gonna love it. It’s super useful and a joy to fly (other than going through hangar doors, they love to close on slow-moving C2s!).

It’s just all so mind-bendingly stupid. You want the best ideas from everyone . But I’m sure I’m preaching to the choir and mostly it just makes me want to scream.

BREAKING: powerful iPhone hacking tools used by Chinese criminals originated from US defense giant L3 Harris.

Their zero-click exploits went to Russian spies too.

Unbelievable harm to our collective security.

This is Nathan Cavanaugh, another DOGE staffer explaining how he flagged grants at NEH for "DEI" which would be reviewed for termination. 404 Media has reviewed hours of this footage and we'll have more soon.

Lawyer: You don't regret that people might have lost income?

Cavanaugh (DOGE): No, I think it was more important to reduce the federal deficit from two trillion dollars to close to zero.

Lawyer: Did you reduce the federal deficit?

Cavanaugh: No, we didn't.

The Crusader C2 is an incredibly useful, sturdy, and easy-to-fly ship. I use it often and have come to rely on it for refinery runs.

I’ve used the Sabir gadget rather extensively, but I’d never managed to break one until tonight.

Forgotten to retrieve them? Too many times to count …

Absurd heat! Despite our best efforts, the monster heat dome is bound to be "undersold" by the meteorology community. Why? Because intensity like this is almost never seen. This thing has the potential to be Epic for Mid-March, and not in a good way… 1/

After a series of fatal strikes involving civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan, Congress directed the Pentagon to reduce civilian casualties as part of a 2019 law. During the Biden administration, the Defense Department created the Civilian Harm Mitigation and Response initiative.

The civilian mitigation teams – cut by 90% by Hegseth – work with military commanders on target planning, and making sure that targets are actually military sites. The teams help come up with "no strike" lists, including religious and cultural sites and schools

I knew that the Department of War shot a missile into a school & killed 175 civilians, mostly children.

This is learned today:

Secretary of War Hegseth had cut the teams assigned to prevent such tragedies by 90%.

Oof. Yeah, I do know my first couple of forays into 4.6 were quite messy, and that was just to go in and put components back on my ships etc.

Fwiw when I do collect I generally collect it into a ship cargo hold rather than to the station hold. But I’ve rarely had issues beyond uncollected jobs disappearing on patch release days.
