Fun fact:
The Mk28 warhead was one of the Eisenhower hydronuclear tests during the moratoria.
Supposedly reduced probability of a Mk28 producing a nuclear yield during the 1966 Palomares accident by 3 orders of magnitude (!!!!):

Letterboxd screenshot Star Trek Into Darkness (2013) Watched by Branson Reese 28 Apr 2022 Abrams isn't a man so much as he's an avatar of cultural entropy. If you make something popular enough eventually you will die or sell it off and and a person in thick rimmed glasses whose main artistic vision is that he loves to have meetings will take it and sandblast it until it's nothing. I hate to see this happen here but maybe it's good that this happened. Maybe every franchise should collapse into a version of itself that makes shareholders nod and shake each others' hands. We should learn to speak in a language that rich people who don't dream can't comprehend.

農水省、スペイン産豚肉輸入を停止 外食や加工品に影響必至
www.nikkei.com/article/DGXZQO...
アフリカ豚熱(ASF)の発生を受けた措置で、生ハムなどの加工品も対象です。
スペイン産は豚肉輸入量全体の18%を占め、バラ肉を中心に業務用での需要が大。ベーコンなどの原料や外食・中食など幅広く使われます。
国内商社は代替輸入先の確保に奔走中。北米のほか、肉質が近いフランスやデンマークも候補ですが「全量はとてもカバーしきれない」との声が多く上がります。
Hi Sam,
Netflix, which rarely carries a single movie from before 1980, wants you to know how thrilled they are to acquire that classic piece of franchise IP, Casablanca

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?
Love it for Amazon that they apparently think all these women are the same person.

Have you ever been lost in a video game level, wandering empty halls, until you know you're going the right way because you finally run into enemies? Because you don't know what to do without conflict? Well some people live their real lives that way
I’m nearing the limits of my endurance, but I took a first crack at thinking about the winners and losers from Takaichi’s surprising upset Saturday. Much more to come.

What we have learned from Google Docs is that word processors were functionally complete for 99% of users by 1995. The only useful feature added since then is collaborative editing.
Wikipedia editors trying to fend off the onslaught of AI crap have crowdsourced some telltale signs of LLM-generated writing; it might be handy for editors and proofreaders generally. Thanks to @ellenrykers.com for pointing me to it. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikiped...
When they shutoff the LLMs some people's emails are gonna be like "me client, me want deliverable, you make good, you incorporate brand strategy"
