That’d be the best part of this show. We’ve all lived on less. Let’s watch them have it mediocre and absolutely struggle and drown

Lol thanks…I would certainly say thats pedantic though

I think by US on aggregate they are referring to the general populous view. The general populous is at worst split on these world police, liberation crusades

China also doesn’t have school shootings so regularly it no longer makes the news

As someone living in the epicenter with a 4 month old, its important to remember babies couldn’t be vaccinated against measles til 1 year, and it was moved to a small dose at 6 months then another at 1 year because of this.

The spread was caused by the selfish parents of unvaccinated kids. But let’s feel some sympathy for the kids who had no choice in the matter and for the babies not old enough to receive it. The latter would be included in that percentage number.

And also let’s feel anger at the fucking idiots in charge leading this stupid anti science movement and the morons without enough brain cells to see that its a grift and put their kids at risk

Sci fi and lds man. Yeah, I looked it up and was very disappointed. I had never looked up anything about him personally before that

Omg… About to go find out why I should stop reading Orson Scott Card… Thanks a ton OP.

I work in robotics, but not humanoid. What is driving demand for humanoid robots? It feels like a gimmick to me.

China’s humanoid robot makers commanded more than 97% of global shipments in the first half of 2026, according to new industry data affirming the country’s early lead against US rivals in the burgeoning field.

Global humanoid robot shipments totaled roughly 19,100 units in the first half of 2026, more than triple the 5,100 units shipped in the same period last year, according to data from Smart Analytics Global. The California-based research firm expects shipments to rise to around 60,000 units this year and reach half a million by 2030

This is a summary. It was the only way I could find to bypass the paywall

Newly disclosed records reveal the US government extensively spied on prominent leftwing organizations and on protesters as part of a vast operation into groups opposing the immigration crackdown in Minnesota earlier this year.

Internal investigative reports show the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) sent undercover agents to community meetings in the Twin Cities and New York City, infiltrated Signal chats and obtained financial records of mainstream unions and left-leaning non-profit groups.

Nearly 30 internal law enforcement reports were released on Thursday as part of a criminal case the Department of Justice (DoJ) has filed against 15 Minneapolis protesters. The defendants are accused of a “conspiracy” to “impede” US immigration officers during the Trump administration’s surge in the region.

The DHS investigative reports were disclosed by the government and submitted to the court by an attorney for one of the defendants. The records show that in January, DHS launched an inquiry called “Operation Puppet Master” to identify a “network of conspirators” organizing against US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The operation came as community organizing against ICE was swelling in the region in response to the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti.

A DHS report from February said the agency was looking into people who were “providing material support to violent opportunists and agitators”. The records suggest agents launched elaborate spying efforts targeting activists, protesters and mainstream progressive organizations opposing the Trump administration’s immigration policies.

“I was shocked at the scope and the apparent lack of investigative discipline involved, but not totally surprised,” said Kevin Riach, an attorney for one of the indicted protesters, who filed the tranche of records in federal court.

DHS spokespeople did not respond to inquiries and the DoJ declined to comment.

There’s more there, but the formatting is stopping me from copying it all and it’s late…

People get pretty elitist when it comes to companies in this space. Proton has it’s faults, but it is light years better than google and is offering precisely what you want.

Its easy to sit high and criticize when your hosting everything yourself (I’m guilty of this too), but if you just need to move away from google, proton is vastly better and under one Eco system.

NextCloud was already called out. Its a viable option, but the photos from my self hosting experience suck. Once you get past a certain size, the library chokes on itself.

Idk if I had a nice GPU that wouldn’t be the case, so maybe a paid sub will work out just fine.

Same…like read the title and instantly was confused he’s not dead…

I recently did this. It was very easy if you already use beets

Whether it loads or not, it is paywalled

This is great. A lot of useful info and just run info right up front without digging for it. Big props!
