Thanks for the clarification!

Maybe one day we'll actually be able to celebrate a 25% increase! although naturally that day will probably only come in the form of subsidizing corporate space ventures. :/

The already depressingly low NASA budget gets slashed in half to feed the ultra wealthy... God I hate Republicans more and more every day...

Come on Cuba, do something special! Then we'll have no choice but to toss more money at NASA to beat communists again!

I appreciate the detailed response! Definitely food for thought.

It's used for making Dwarf Bread! It's an ancient traditional tool.

Well that's one way to ensure a backfire.

Create a petition to save it, apparently not broadcast it to many places, and have your representative point to the sub 100 signatures as "proof" that "no one cares" about it and it's "good to shut it down..."

"Mr.Trump we're very concerned about the rounding up and the treatment detained people will be facing."

"Detained, retained, Biden did it. It's Joe. Joe Biden once had lunch with Stalin, no one talks about that. Big lunch. They said Biden couldn't eat ham and he said some really nasty stuff about the great Jewish people of... Mr.Israels state. Really bad guy that..."

"Mr.Trump we were discussing the detainees...."

"You know this is a really nasty reporter. Probably the most nasty reporter ever. I won't say it, shouldn't say it, but he should be fired. Really nasty like Stalin and that NYC mayor candidate."

"its a well known fact that for 40 years of his life, Joe Biden used to love walking around wearing a Donald Trump mask. Come on losers, read your history book you claim to love so much!"

Ah yes the ol' tried and true gun control "now isn't the right time" argument. Cool cool.

Apparently it's "fuck your feelings (only mine matter because I'm special.)"

Those people usually see him and think "He's just like me!"

I tried my hand at HVAC but I absolutely cannot stand not having a schedule, nothing worse than getting home and getting a call that I have to go back out for... that and I live in an overpopulated area so driving in traffic every day was just adding to the stress. I was never more miserable than when working that job. :/

US media company Paramount Global has agreed to pay $16 million (£13.5m) to settle a legal dispute with US President Donald Trump regarding an interview it broadcast on CBS with former Vice President Kamala Harris.

As usual corporations looking for special treatment, hoping to have their merger accepted, refuse to fight the fascist...

I wish someone would sue Fox for fucks sake..

91°F (32.7°C) in the factory I work at.

The law states "all factories must maintain a reasonable temperature and humidity."

Nowhere is reasonable ever defined. I am mildly infuriated. And very hot lol

Edit: 94° (34.4C) now and this post has made it close to the top of "Hot"... The gods are having a laugh lol

 

25 minute exposure of NGC 2264 taken with a seestar s50. Testing the new denoise function added in the most resent seestar firmware update.

No further post processing so colors seem to be a bit off as a result of the denoise feature, but otherwise an amazing result as most images from the seestar s50 contain a lot of RGB noise!

Hey Lemmy! Time to do some digging!

I was sent a link from a friend about some Totally Cool™ guy who has close ties to JD Vance: Curtis Yarvin. Anyone aware of this guy and his desires? I won't put the link in here as my last post was removed because of it, but a comment within the thread is copied below.

Apparently Japanese media covered the story as was posted to Reddit, but there doesn't seem to be too much talk of this in the US.

From a comment in the reddit discussion: “Curtis Yarvin is a far-right ‘intellectual’ that wants to end democracy and install what I can only really describe as cyberpunk feudalism. He’s suggested turning the United States into a patchwork of corporate fiefdoms ruled with absolute impunity by CEOs, as well as putting mandatory ankle monitors on all unemployed and poor people. This sounds like a joke, but I’m serious. JD Vance is not just a fan of him intellectually, but also a personal friend. As someone who has known about Yarvin for several years, it’s been really concerning seeing how he could potentially become a Rasputin-like figure in the event of a Trump victory. Beyond this, Yarvin has also spent many years advocating for what sounds eerily like Project 2025.”

For those familiar with Star Citizen lore, he apparently wants to turn the US into the Stanton system “lol” …
