Folks, I regret to inform you: This design was OK'd by the Citizens Coin Advisory Committee in...October 2024. Its design was set in place when Biden was in office. The designer left out the olive branch to symbolize the colonists' not yet achieving peace, but hoping for it. Trump didn't do this.
No, I don’t think I’ll be buying a cream-colored $23,000 sectional with kids of ages 7 and 3
I have no idea how I ended up on a list that resulted in RH (formerly Restoration Hardware) sending me a nearly 600-page catalog of exclusively off white, beige, gray, and/or brown furniture that carries a mandatory $1700 *delivery fee* to Hawaii, but hey, support the USPS I guess
Going to spend the rest of the evening writing a 3000-word Substack essay on how I asked a flagship AI model to overlay the lines of imperial partition on a map of the 1950s Polish rail network and it invented East-Central Grussia.
I really liked this thread because it jives well with my experience.
Thread with a specific example.
I’ve built a really cool python-based solution for accessing econ/fin APIs and pipe charts into formats for publication. It saves me…silly amounts of time. It works great, well-documented. But.
Me either until I saw it. And wouldn’t have believed it if I don’t see it
Incredible
Always cracks me up that stores actually *sell* Spanish moss here in Hawaii for people to use as decoration in their orchid displays
*sigh*

Can’t believe nobody wanted to read the articles nobody bothered to write
Oh my god
(1) The accused declared, ordered, or otherwise indicated that there shall be no survivors or surrender accepted; (2) The accused thereby intended to threaten an adversary or to conduct hostilities such that there would be no survivors or surrender accepted; (3) It was foreseeable that circumstances would be such that a practicable and reasonable ability to accept surrender would exist; (4) The accused was in a position of effective command or control over the subordinate forces to which the declaration or order was directed; and (5) The conduct took place in the context of and was associated with hostilities.

Apropos of SecDef's remarks this morning:
Denial of quarter—even the declaration of no quarter—is a war crime.
And recognized as such by the US Government.

Tremendous work by the CBS Sports editor who did this
Should’ve paid a little extra and gotten the nanotexture finish

Why worry about fertilizer shortages from the Hormuz closing when we can just put Brawndo on all our crops
I don’t think Iran is going to be willing to reopen it without concessions that Trump and even more so Netanyahu don’t want to give up
Bessent is just so bad in comparison, and it’s not a high bar!
It’s a real Dead Dove Do Not Eat situation with what Vox has done with these sites
That’s also forgetting he’s not alone in this. Don’t know who coined it but you can’t get to TACO time when it’s NACHO time (Netanyahu Actually Controls His Options)
Pretty sure markets are assuming he can luck his way out of this jam because he always does, forgetting that Covid showed it absolutely doesn’t always happen and his horrible leadership can cause persistent problems. You also can’t CARES Act your way out of the Strait of Hormuz being closed
I kid you not... The same White House that forgot that invading Iran might lead it to close the Strait of Hormuz, is now arguing (through Peter Navarro) that war with Iran is a good idea because it'll prevent Iran from closing the Strait of Hormuz.

It’s almost time to make like Spurrier and run up the score
*was trying
You know what I meant
I might be more than half convinced that he’s finally taking SpaceX public because he can see the writing on the wall for Tesla (autopilot/FSD lawsuits alone threaten it plenty financially, on top of everything else) that he realized he needs another public-stock piggy bank to sell or borrow against
Between backing GOP politicians who vowed to kill EV subsidies and emissions regulations and pivoting away from cars to far fetched robot and robotaxi products, you’d be forgiven for thinking Musk wasn’t trying to tank Tesla on purpose
The main thing it has to recommend is that it’s usually a few bucks cheaper for a 12 pack because it’s not being shipped from the mainland
I was pretty lukewarm on Kona beer before moving to the islands, but people told me just wait, it’s better out there. What I discovered is this: it’s not. It’s exactly the same.
