We need a Habeus Charta petition. These folks need to retain a lawyer asap.

JD Vance looks guilty as hell. It’s probably him, Jim.

We can just call this guy a “virus advocate”.

If it’s not stolen from a store in the West Midlands region, you have to call it “sparkling cacao”.

The next time you see a kid selling chocolate bars for a charity, if you buy them you could be funding a criminal enterprise 🤣.

But in all seriousness who are the thieves selling the chocolate to?

Kinda neat about the human responses… sure some are trolling but maybe we have to test our global expectations. In North America, a car wash tends to be this garage thing with either automated cleaning or a set of supplies to clean your car, and your car has to be in the shed to be cleaned effectively. But if washing your car by hand is the norm, I wonder if people in some countries surmise that the cleaning staff could just walk over with the sponges, buckets and hoses and stuff to the car, if you’re already 50 metres away from the washing point.

I said on Friday that Trump probably timed his announcement, which was right at 4:30PM New York time, so it came after the NYSE closed to end the week high. Nobody looked at the comment…

I’m not due to replace my Samsung Xcover with a headphone jack and removable battery for a while yet, I got it in March 2024…

But when I do in a few years, I’d like the Jolla phone as its app support probably has matured at that point.

Part of the issue is that the latest version of Samsung’s OneUI completely removes the option to unlock the bootloader. More technical info on the (xda forum).

There are and still will be tariffs (like section 232 steel and softwood lumber)… but I think that it’s understood that he can no longer declare his hurt feelings as an emergency, and levy blanket tariffs on a country in response to anything he doesn’t like. The incompetent scraps left in his administration have to put together an explanation on what specifically is tariffed and why Congress had authorized it. It’s his choice to keep screaming “tariff” but those threats are emptier than ever.

Edit: See? His first “escalation threat” is a global tariff not really directed at anyone (aside from the USA)

While there are other ways Trump can still put in tariffs (Section 232 tariffs on steel and lumber stuff are still in place for example)…

This will put an end to Trump throwing around tariffs willy-nilly to get his way. Well, of course he still can threaten tariffs but those threats will be emptier than they’ve ever been.

Edit: See? His first escalation threat is a 10% tax on Americans for any import whatsoever. Not really directed at any country but their own.

Steve Burke (of GN) described the absurdity pretty well, within the context of the currently uncertain Nvidia and OpenAI deal:

Nvidia offered OpenAI $100B in investment, money that it didn’t have, as long as OpenAI gave that money back to Nvidia to lease GPUs that haven’t been made, to then put in data centres that haven’t been constructed, which will be powered by electricity that hasn’t come online, to then rent to users who haven’t subscribed, to provide them features that haven’t come to fruition.
