I still wonder what kind of experimental medications/treatments he was given when he got Covid during his first term.

The plastic is already getting old and brittle. I’m not that worried about retrobright damage.

Difficult to be a diplomat when an administration isn’t interested in diplomacy.

National standards might change, but I’m betting California and some other states will still hold car manufacturers to a higher standard.

These CEOs seem really slow on the uptake. Gonna put all your chips into the AI business just as the bubble is about to burst.

Some sat out the election. Some voted for Harris. Others actually voted for Trump.

This is what these people voted for/wanted. Not sure why they are complaining now.

It’s amazing to me that they actually found somebody that regrets it. Usually something awful happens to them and they still say they would vote for Trump all over again.

Sounds like Amazon taking a page from Walmart’s book.

If you’re really saving 20% in file size with XL, adding back a very compressed preview image that takes up one or two percent isn’t going to cost you much.

All you have to do is add a small traditional JPEG image at the start of the file. It doesn’t have to be high resolution or more than a couple of kb. The new format decoder would know this, and skip the traditional jpeg “header”, rendering the newer file format embedded in the image.

Profit over people. The Republican mantra.

I would be more excited about JPEG XL if it was backward compatible. Not looking forward to yet another image standard that requires OS and hardware upgrades simply so servers can save a few bytes.

Someone please name and shame the dems who wasted time voting for this nonsense.

Womp womp.

If you were confused (like me) as to how a lumber mill in the US was hurt by tariffs on foreign countries — they were importing their trees from Canada. Plenty of trees in the US, but I guess they’re all spoken for. 🤷‍♂️

“The U.S. lumber sector is reeling from tariffs on Canadian softwood, which have climbed to 45%. With roughly 30% of its supply coming from Canada”

I would think getting 66% would override line item veto. Just like it does any other veto. If you can’t get 66% of the vote for something, maybe it’s not worth stuffing into the bill in the first place.

Funding bills are fucjed anyway. It’s a shame we don’t have a party that’s interested in reforming the process so we don’t have these repeated shutdowns.

Stuff like this makes me think we could really use line item veto.

Reminds me of ThunderScan. A device that turned your dot matrix printer into a scanner by pretending it was an ink ribbon cartridge.
