@coffeebadger loves this guy.

So does Trump.

reply

Death penalty for terrorists, yes. Death to all my enemies. Death I say. War is the only antidote to tyranny.

reply

Some say Ben Givr is a war criminal terrorist and Trump is enabling him . . . so you want Death to Trump ?

reply

I alone, not some, get to define who is a terrorist.

reply

TACO Trump has spent $11 Billion US taxpayer dollars on Interceptors defending Israel.

Trump is a Zionist Puppet.

reply

You, a welfare recipient, get no say in anything.
Without our taxes you starve.

ICCJ wants Ben Givr and Bibi on war crimes charges and Trump has aided and assisted them.
Lock them up.

I've been drawing with colore pencils (to kind of decompress) and I'm not a fan of the medium. It's too permanent - kind of like hardware vs software. I can't edit or erase so I have to overthink everything before drawing something. Oil paints are still the goat. If only they came in pen form ...

not having an eraser when drawing is how you create your own distinct style, sketch it first, then go over with colors,

With oil paints I can sketch on the canvas I eventually paint on and in color. With color pencils, I have to either use graphite and erase a lot or do a bunch of studies.

I get it but it's relatively lame.

when i would paint, i would just use graphite paper to just move over the sketch onto the canvas that way i could just get to coloring free form

They dry too fast to edit as much as you can with oils - which is why I like oils.

Do you buy this?

Other explanations could be: Netflix has raised prices, introduced ads, and made a fair number of dumb shows/movies.

reply

Good content is spread out across too many streaming services. The industry needs to reform or die.

reply

Do you think SN's openness is causing some to abuse it as some kind of bot playground / training ground?

reply

Time to boost those prices a little bit.

reply

Most of them seem to be using freebies

reply

I requested that k00b allow territory owners to disable freebies.

I would agree with that solution

I'm going to remove freebies except in the saloon (and maybe bios).

reply

I think I like them for bios. Maybe the saloon is better for getting started, though.

Pentagon, Lockheed sign F-35 deal for 850 fighter jets

The Pentagon and Lockheed Martin have announced a 10-year agreement for the production of 850 F-35 warplanes. The two sides didn’t specify a value for the deal.

The move “cements [the plane’s] role as the free world’s key front-line fighter for years ahead”, Lockheed President Jim Taiclet said on a call with investors.

F-35s – used extensively in combat during the US-Israeli war on Iran – come in three versions that can cost more than $100m per plane.

“We have fundamentally changed how we stabilize the American defence industrial base to produce at speed and scale,” top acquisition official Michael Duffey said in the Pentagon’s announcement.

The F-35 – a joint project between the United States and a number of allies – is one of the world’s most advanced military aircraft. There are more than 1,375 F-35s around the world.

$41 Trillion DEBT and counting...

Maybe dumb bots/AI's that don't work correctly. AI's are probably smarter though. But I'm not sure :)

Question: Has any stacker used slice extension before ( the extension that shows you ads while browsing, and you get sats in exchange)? Can I trust them with my data?

reply

I used it a long time ago. I doubt it's worth trusting them for what you get in return.

reply
51 sats \ 1 reply \ @Alex333 15h

Thanks for commenting! I love the idea behind the extension, but knowing they could technically read everything I browse scares me too much to try it out.

reply

The payouts are (or at least were) kind of convoluted and stored as some proprietary shitcoin until you met the minimum withdrawal amount.

I agree that it's a cool idea, but I don't think the implementation is right yet.

Nice thing about CLINK is if your wordpress etc gets pwned, your Lightning node doesn't.

There were nodejs vulns yesterday too, but Pub doesn't serve any public http endpoints by default.

Being a parent is like walking on a bed of nails. You can never quite anticipate the sharp obstacle that threatens to derail your schedule.

The son was grouchy because his baby tooth was about to fall off. Apparently, he was wincing in so much pain that he skipped all meals yesterday. After dismissal (and before my lunch), he asked whether he could visit the school dentist. Apparently, he had sought her help to extract his tooth during recess, but the dentist declined because she needed him to obtain my consent.

So, I escorted him to the dentist. Luckily, I didn’t have an afternoon meeting, so I could just wait for him outside the clinic. I was also impressed by his problem-solving skills. In this era of AI prevalence, I wonder if he would be able to develop the problem-solving competencies required for him to find a job. If this early promise were any indication, I guess I need not worry so much.

reply

Are school dentists a normal thing? I've never heard of that.

reply

common.
but it’s not like the dentist comes to our school every day. she has a roving schedule and rotates her days among several schools. it’s a Ministry of Health initiative. has been like this since I was young

reply

Is it mostly for dental checkups or is she doing procedures like fillings on site?

reply

I think she is qualified to do routine fillings. If the dental work required is beyond her skill level, then she will refer the student to see a specialist at some centralised dental clinic
