President Trump continues to say that Iran wants to make a deal to end the war and that the U.S. has control over the Strait of Hormuz. Meanwhile, the president downplayed concerns about the conditions aboard the USS Lincoln. MS NOW Senior National Security Reporter David Rohde and New York Times Chief White House Correspondent Peter Baker join Stephanie Ruhle with more details and analysis.

Kayaking past my house last Sunday. Water is up past the door handle.

I wanted tacos. I had tortillas and potatoes. I wanted latkes. I decided to make something that should not exist. Was it tasty? Yes. Was it a pleasant texture? Yes. Was it a bit much oil? Yes.

“Florida Congressman Randy Fine was going door to door looking for votes … and somehow ended up rifling through a voter’s mail,” TMZ reported Tuesday.

Dad ran an auto repair shop for the last 45 years and says they are the single worst brand of vehicle you can buy, I don’t even think that’s why I hate them so bad though

I still use gmail and drive for work but otherwise I’m never logged into anything google at home. Today when I tried to expand on a restaurant’s hours it wouldn’t let me see them without logging in, although it still worked in incognito. This restaurant screenshot is just a random other example I tried, but for the one I was actually checking google had the correct hours while the official website hasn’t been updated in awhile and had the old ones (website said they’re still open for dinner but they’ve only been doing lunch for a year or so now)

The base is dovetailed at the corners and the uprights are lapped in. I have to complicate everything.

I think that if I were the type to give actual titles to my works, this one would be something like “The Glorification of The Last Zamboni.” The mood at the funeral for the Lloyd Center was such that the audience was cheering for even just the zamboni driver, making his laps and giving high fives as he went by. Despite this event being ten days in the past now, it’s still something I’m reflecting on. To a lot of people in Portland, Lloyd Center was a venerable, long-standing, good third place.

If this was Clinton it would be everywhere. Trump has a very chummy assistant and he attacks viciously, doesn’t defend or deflect. He obviously feels strongly and is vulnerable. Why the lack of interest?

Yeah… Trump approved of this shit. Because of course he did!

PJM Interconnection, the grid operator serving 67 million people across 13 states and Washington, D.C., asked federal regulators on Thursday to approve rules that would cut power to new data centers ahead of households during supply shortages, Reuters reports.

Something doesn’t smell right about this alleged post-election mobilitzation in Russia.

Researchers have figured out how make shaped drone rotors that convert audible and ultrasound frequencies into stable mechanical spinning motion, leading to tiny drones that can be completely silent. While scary-sounding (no pun intended) it’s unclear how usable these would be in the real world, since a line-of-sight source of sound waves has to be provided.

Synder may result in fewer prosecutions of state and local officials under federal law for gratuities After an official act. When cases are brought, the focus will necessarily be on proving that there was an agreement to provide a gift before the official act.

So, today started out kinda well… I had a job interview planned for the afternoon. I woke up, had a shower, shaved my arms and legs, dried my hair, put on some deodorant… I just had to admire my soft skin, so I posted my legs on Lemmy 😆

Kratom use and serious health problems linked to it have risen dramatically across the United States over the past decade. Poison center reports jumped from just 19 cases in 2010 to more than 1,200 in 2023, while severe outcomes—including life-threatening complications, disability, and death—also climbed sharply. Researchers warn that kratom can trigger seizures, abnormal heart rhythms, liver damage, and breathing problems, with risks potentially increasing when it is combined with other drugs.

Does anyone have experience with these two grinders? I’ve narrowed my search down to these two but I’m very undecided. I know the 64 is the better grinder but I don’t know if it’s worth the extra $200 CAD.

Quick post today, readers may remember that in the last post that the 112 test was today, so i hope you all set your alarms for this post!

Toronto Cyclones players Katie Armstrong and Sarah Emara said in interviews with TSN that they believe the public should be aware of the March 1 incident at Scotiabank Pond Arena in Toronto and of its aftermath – not to shame the boys or have them removed from hockey, but rather because they believed the response of parents, coaches, and officials on the boys’ team illustrates how hockey allows violations of women’s privacy and boundaries to be dismissed without accountability.

TLDR: it’s a spec bump for the processor and RAM. One question I personally had is does that mean the motherboard is backward compatible with the og FP6?
