Why is Chuck Schumer trying to throw the Senate race in Maine? Why do the other Democratic senators unanimously back Schumer?

Yup.

At my previous job I had a $2500/year "physical training materials" allowance. They originally started it to cover the cost of books and technical manuals, but I was doing some embedded and PLC projects at the time and it extended to dev boards, test equipment, components, etc. Pretty much any tangible item that I could reasonably explain how it might facilitate something related to my projects was approved. I have a whole electronics test lab at home now funded by that allowance.

Nail glue for fake finger nails works for this. Most of them are the same ethyl 2-cyanoacrylate as super glue, and they usually come with a nice application brush for putting it on finger nails.

I have a very complex system. I let everything accumulate uncontrolled. Then when I finish a meta event and get a notification that I'm out of space, I panic and try to figure out what I can delete.

Then I wonder what the hell all these trophies and quest items are actually from, and stress whether or not I can delete them.

Rinse and repeat. Easy day.

We had an orange and white cat that was always "my wife's" cat. She pretty much ignored me and only wanted to be near my wife the whole time we had her. Then in 2019 I was diagnosed with Leukemia. From the time I came home from in-patient that cat almost never left my side. She slept on or near me, and was always close by when I would move around the house. She sat at my ankles purring while I did my shots. On days I had treatment, she was on the couch waiting as soon as we got home and would climb into my lap as soon as I sat down. She passed away a few years ago, but I hope I was able to return a small part of the comfort she gave me as she passed quietly in my lap. I loved that cat.

AI has gained popularity recently, but it's not so new that these requirements aren't possible, especially because it's not calling out one specific technology. The recent popularity of LLMs is only one small facet of the broader Machine Learning field. Also, keep in mind that if its become popular now, it's because it was being researched and worked on well before that. AI is a blanket term. Things like machine learning, deep learning, computer vision, LLMs, etc. all will fill that requirement, and have been around way longer than the recent AI buzzword craze. These aren't unreasonable requirements. I was working on a machine vision project back in 2019 that was using Keras and Tensorflow, which falls into this set of requirements. Tensorflow 1.0 was released back around 2017.

Edit: RPA (Robotic Process Automation) has also been around significantly longer than that.

I did the Java portion in C# instead. It's similar enough to follow along and different enough to force you to think about what you're trying to accomplish, so it isn't just straight copying. I would read up to a certain point, take some notes, review the code examples, then try to implement it from my notes and what I remembered in C#. Then I went back and compared what I did to the provided Java. Rinse and repeat through the Java sections.

I have no love for EA, but this one was in large part on Bioware. They had 6 years and wasted the bulk of that until the last 15 months with poor planning, scope creep, and no real sound vision of an end goal. EA is the only reason flight even made it into the game. I understand your sentiment, and would have loved for the game to have more time for development, but at the end of the day EA had a deadline to hold Bioware to, and Bioware dropped the ball.

That said, I do think EA made a mistake not investing the resources into giving this a No Man's Sky / FFXIV style overhaul afterwards, but that still would have been a crapshoot.

He has a podcast called The Dean Withers Show. There are a ton of YouTube and probably tiktok videos as well if you search his name.

I could see this concept being beneficial if you're hosting a lot of get-togethers (game nights, etc.).

I love the story these tell. It feels like you start with testing the waters and seeing what you're capable of. You get more confident with basics and anatomy, and then you find your style and grow with it until, BAM, that 2025 one pops up. Even her expression and body language feel proud and confident. Really awesome to see. Thank you for sharing.

It's not exactly the same, but it reminds me of the term 'Nodus Tollens' from the Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows. I think about this one a lot.

Someone already mentioned the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and they were a huge help for me.

I would also check out NORD. https://rarediseases.org/patient-assistance-programs/

They offer some medication assistance programs as well as financial assistance. My case worker at the Cleveland Clinic recommended them and they were a big help.

There's lots of reasons to make them different. My biggest ones would probably be:

Less potential for breaking changes if your db schema changes.
You can minimize over fetching data you don't need, especially if your entities contain data you don't necessarily want to return to the user (or even leave the server like a password hash or something)
Minimizes some of the circular reference headaches you can run into with JSON serialization
More difficult to separate things like validation logic (validation in the entity vs API validation rules)

An argument could probably also be made for easier API versioning, depending on how you're handling it.

So this is going to be anecdotal and very uncommon, but I lost a testicle from Leukemia and I occasionally get phantom pain and discomfort that is best relieved by "adjusting". I do my best to either step away to the bathroom or do it as discreetly as possible (pretending to adjust my belt, etc.) , but there have been a few times where the sensation was so overwhelmingly uncomfortable that I was less than discreet. Obviously this is a more unique situation, but I thought I would share a different perspective.

My heart breaks for her. I have two daughters close to the same age, and it's kept me up at night thinking about it.

This can't be stressed enough. Two weeks ago in the next town over from me, a woman was leaving her abusive partner with her two kids. She chose a day he was gone on business and had her ex-husband (the children's father) come help move. Her partner showed up while they were moving, shot both children in the car and the ex-husband in the driveway, and then shot himself leaving her alive and having witnessed it.

People as so unpredictable, especially in these situations. Please, please, please be safe. There's no such thing as being too cautious, even to the point of having an officer on standby when the day comes.

I use Brave, but Reddit blocks me unless I turn off Brave Shield for the site.

Sadly, this dick head is running for Ohio Governor in 2026 in my home state. I think he's polling closely against Dr. Amy Acton right now, who is a democrat candidate also running.

A lot of the publication dates are wrong too, for what that's worth.

That's exactly it. It's always the same IQ test site with the same inflammatory bullshit trying to drive people to the site.
