  1. Weather symbols are weird.

    There's a black cloud with 10% chance of rain at 3pm, a drizzle cloud with a 44% chance at 6pm and it's otherwise white clouds (occasionally with sun) and 0% chance of rain until midnight (when it stays in the teens chance still with white clouds until getting drizzle clouds at 4 and 5am with a 30-50% chance of rain).

    So what's the overall symbol for today?

    Black cloud with a single raindrop 😐

    Not only this ⬇️ in the following quote, but Thump’s minions are paying TOP DOLLAR to the alleged enemy!
    “Trump has lifted sanctions on Iranian oil, so he is literally paying Iran not to surrender. This on top of also doing the same with Iran's ally, Russia.”

  3. US politics just makes my head spin: this person's a Dem candidate

    'Public filings on her own personal political giving reveal years of support for far-right Republicans. The list of those who have received her cash include MAGA candidates, the Republican head of the evangelical Zionist group Christians United for Israel, anti-abortion candidates, and even far-right pundit Laura Loomer, according to disclosures reviewed by The Intercept'

  4. I get the DDR4 and DDR5 RAM "shortage", but who the fuck is buying up:

    * Low end NVMe drives (Gen3/4 <= 1TB)

    * DDR4 and DDR5 *SODIMMs*

    Who is benefiting?

  5. Wait, WHAT? Disney is paying OpenAI to have Disney/Pixar/Marvel/Star Wars characters in ChatGPT image creation and Sora video creation?

    Isn't that like having your house burgled, then shaking hands with them and agreeing to keep paying them to steal your stuff every month? 🤨

    I'm sure nothing bad will come of Disney characters being officially part of this image and video generation 😐

  6. @georgetakei Okay, so Mr. Duffy has lectured people on their mode of dress while flying, and now he wants to have workout rooms? A hot, sweaty person in a suit is still a hot, sweaty person that I don’t want to sit next to. #MakeItMakeSense

  7. So it turns out that my bank doesn't like Lineage OS. But they allow me to use the app on a tablet that is 5 years out of date and hasn't had a security update since Huawei was expelled from Google.

    Where is the logic?

    I'm moving to a different bank who isn't so peculiar.

    PS: my tablet is safe enough. Its behind my VPN and 🤷‍♂️, I'm leaving the app.

  8. My wallet has seen better days. So I'm looking at new wallets and…

    WTF? Why are people putting note pockets in a wallet but not a zipped bit for coins? Do they expect you to occasionally need to pay in cash, but never get less than £5 in change?

    Or is this some weird Americanism where even the dollar is a note and so you just keep throwing the coins in charity collection boxes?

  9. That SHOULD read: #DonaldTrump, the "president" of the #UnitedStates of #America is starving 42 MILLION #Americans in order to stop Democrats who are fighting for approximately 24 MILLION people who will be affected by the healthcare premium hike from priced OUT of said healthcare. #MakeItMakeSense

  10. I ask #Google for the most subtle understated fragrances in 2025 and the first result it gives me are the ten most powerful fragrances. #MakeItMakeSense

    Also: Der deutsche Sozialstaat ist daran schuld, dass die Chinesen
    a) attraktivere BEV bauen und
    b) weniger deutsche Verbrenner kaufen.

  12. So when #Starmer said the other day that he thought that the police shouldn't waste their time arresting people who incite violence against trans people on social media and should concentrate on going after real crime instead, was this the sort of thing he had in mind?

  13. At my work there is no incentive for clocking in early. My shift starts at 1:15 PM. If I clock in at 1:10 my time is rolled forward to 1:15. If I clocking in at 1:20 my time is rolled back to 1:15.

  14. Wait, what? Sirius XM 80s on 8 what on earth are you doing? You were in the midst of a countdown from this week in 1981 and you're suddenly playing Howard Jones Everlasting Love from 1989. #MakeItMakeSense

  15. A beautiful example of Irish house numbering. I wish they would at least keep the direction of the sequential numbering consistent... 😲
    Oh, and there are also two "Rose Cottage" along this road of about 600m length.
