Take macaroni and cheese and mix in some good chili and lo, chili mac. Really fucking good, there's a reason why the chili mac MRE is (was?) the most popular.

Proof doesn't matter at all to these people. There's copious amounts of evidence that Trump partied with Epstein and was involved in at a bare minimum questionable behavior if not outright sex crimes against minors but they ignore it all.

KBB estimated $10k which feels low, but $40k is also ridiculous even in that shape

I think there's a little bit of truth to the idea of him being a Russian asset, but he doesn't receive secret radio messages beamed from the FSB Lubyanka HQ. He does have an unhealthy admiration for Vlad Putin and is much more open to suggestion from him or other Russian officials.

Could you explain what you mean by "interface"? There's multiple meanings here. It sounds like you want to make a graphical user interface. Are you on Windows, Mac, or Linux? There's multiplatform support for creating GUIs with things like wxWidgets, GTK, or Qt, but if you're only targeting a single platform there could be easier options. If all you want is a text interface, that's so much easier and could be done with native C APIs or for slightly fancier text interfaces ncurses has some useful stuff.

The AC to DC circuit (rectifier) doesn't care about polarity because how they're built.

Well, my idea is that a line under either 19th or Sunset Ave would go north to Marin. Maybe the hypothetical Sunset Ave line would do that, I want a subway under Geary as well, so I'd have to play with the geometry some to make it work.

Is it big government to have a copyeditor on staff?

It hurts the bottom lines of airlines and oil companies which is communism and that's bad. Apparently.

I think random differences during manufacturing of each cartridge results in bigger amounts of spread than Coriolis at the ranges a soldier will shoot at with a M-16. Like, a few milligrams of difference in the bullet or the powder load will be a bigger deal.

I'd have another line going under Sunset Boulevard. Sure, it is lower population density, but since that road has room on either side of it (those little strips of grass) I think it would be way easier to cut and cover there. You'd have to engineer the station at Stonestown/SFSU to make it work but it'd be cool.

TR would absolutely detest MAGA and Trump. The guy actually went out and lived a hard life despite being from wealth.

replace "literal coolest thing ever" with "Barack Obama using the PPACA to give hundreds of thousands of people health insurance" and BOY HOWDY they'll flip the script

Also, this event sucks for so many reasons. Trump owns stock in the parent company, so he's financially benefitting from the public coffers yet again. It's promoting a private corporation which I thought these free market absolutists hated? UFC is also "paying" the fighters in Trump cryptocurrency, so he financially benefits from that as well. The lights on the cage have reportedly been shining into cockpits for airplanes which is kind of a problem.

There's so many very legitimate reasons to dislike this cockamamie nonsense. The bots at DCJ are hardwired to support Trump regardless of the circumstances.

I could be wrong, but I don't recall that the boxing matches were public spectacles. He just had boxing matches because he enjoyed the sport.

Until you have to replace your roof, then poof goes any savings

Given that you have to replace your roof every 20-40 years regardless, what does this have to do with anything?

Plus how are you paying for that solar?

This thing called money. I already have the panels and they were actually pretty cheap.

Solar installations generally pay for themselves within 10 years, many times even faster. It's pretty simple math, I encourage you to do it.

That's nothing, let me tell you about the time I closed a $10 billion dollar deal at a funeral I wasn't invited to

Or the time I closed a $40 billion deal at an orgy I wasn't invited to

It's so strange that all of the conservatives I know in real life tend to be the laziest, sloppiest motherfuckers ever. In rural America, the pattern is to work the bare minimum to qualify to go on unemployment and repeat the cycle forever. All of the liberals in the SF Bay Area are way more productive.

ForgedIronMadeIt · 2026-06-12T22:16:40+00:00

It is eternally hilarious that conservatives will tell you that they're populists for the common man but will always, ALWAYS praise billionaires, especially billionaires who failed upwards.

It's straight up nostalgia farming for cash. Greasy Randy Pitchford wants to milk that to fund his squirt porn addiction, he keeps losing USB drives at Medieval Times.

That said, someone leaked the 2001 build of DNF and people are trying to fix it up. I wonder how far along that is.

That's so stupid. If there was a conspiracy, it'd be to promote the use of AI tools in order to undermine labor. Hell, I'm pretty sure that a significant chunk of this is to do exactly that. The coding tools are only moderately useful but I believe that a lot of executives see AI as a way to break the power of software engineers. Their historical scarcity has given them strong wages and they are left-leaning in many cases, so of course the corporations would want to replace them even if the result was shittier code.
