  • Trump doesn’t care about being implicated in corruption, he’s already established even in the legal sense to be a criminal and a rapist. Being implicated for more rape isn’t going to make any noticable change. But what does a strong man really fear? Being perceived as weak. Being perceived as less of a man than any other. There is something he’s burying that is going to make him look really bad to his base, that a sane person with morals wouldn’t realize is that notable but will be completely devastating for a strongman wannabe dictator. I’m so curious what that is mostly for the human psychology aspect of what actually does scare trump and keep him up at night?


  • The funniest part is I’m not the one who watches it, my wife is. Most of it is just background noise to me, but she’ll poke me to pay attention when they get something really rediculous setup (like the staged assassination plot. Listening to Chatterbox and Vivek planning it was honestly funnier than the staged assassination attempt itself!)

    But yeah honestly I find the pacing of live streams to be too slow for me, I just can’t pay attention for that long without anything meaningful happening, then suddenly I’ve missed something massive in the 1-2 hour long conversation I tuned out. But having my wife who finds it’s perfect second screen content for her ADHD to poke me when I need to pay attention or summarize some of the long meandering conversations between characters (seriously I can never tell when it’s an important conversation or not!) it’s almost like I’m a viewer




  • The OPs screenshot could also be a mucked up shipping config. Saw that at work recently, two employees sitting next to each other making labels, one gets $200+ per shipping label the other sub-$30 shipping labels. They did a test of trying to make the exact same label and got different rates so they finally said “okay time to talk to Fedex about fixing this…” Only after shipping a few hundred items at the exhorbanant rates was this fully figured out…




  • I’m working on building a little demo with Saltcorn before bringing it up to my boss probably in a week or two as a strong contender for our EHS system replacement. We’ve got a mess of an EHS system with a ton of stuff that isn’t actually EHS-related bolted on that we’re replacing it with 3 systems, and one of those three will be for the non-EHS stuff which my boss is currently wanting to build in-house from scratch using AI. I’m hoping to help him dodge that thermonuclear warhead of a mistake by showing him an existing platform that will scale much further before costing us a ton in development costs to maintain

    My big argument is going to be on cost+effort front with the added benefit of being open source so we can control it no matter what happens with the vendor
