I like how the republicans kept yelling at Obama and the democrats to close Guantanamo, but now they’re all in on it.

I mean, I guess they don’t care about history so it doesn’t matter much, but I’m really sick of the hypocrisy.

Everyone I know that would have left Facebook over this already left years ago during other scares/changes/security issues.

I dropped it cold Turkey about 9yrs ago and never looked back.

Now, can Facebook shut down to the Green Day’s “Good Riddance (Time of your life)”?

Bringing them back now could leave the space station understaffed and jeopardize the science

And that’s what Trump wants. Science runs counter to his agenda, so who needs the ISS to be staffed?

While I enjoyed having paper textbooks in school (until I got to college and they were $300+ each), when was the last time you seriously used a paper textbook to learn something new? In this day and age we have Google/Bing/Kagi and you’re going to search for the thing you need to know, pull up Wikipedia, read a few blog posts or the documentation from the project itself, and then apply what you learned.

We’re teaching children how better to survive in today’s world, not teaching them how to survive in our grandfathers world.

Now, my kid has read a few physical paperbacks for her high school English class, and reads plenty of physical books when she gets them from the library or buys them, but classwork is online, instruction is in person, and she seems to be doing just fine not carrying around 20lbs of paper every day. If anything I’d say her note taking has improved more than mine did when I assumed I could simply just open the book back up. This is the world we live in and she’s being taught how to survive in it.

Gotta combine expenses and get the most out of your venue rental.

Could he just date it like a normal person instead of:

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-seventh day of January, in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty-five, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and forty-ninth.

Its 2025! The phrase “The year of our Lord” isn’t something anyone sane has used without being facetious in centuries.

He emphasized that the proposed tariffs would leave companies with no choice but to invest in domestic production facilities to avoid high taxes.

No choice except the obvious: Pass the cost of the Tax into the customer because there’s no way they’re going to spend billions to stand up a US fab plant anytime soon.

If the other countries doesn’t include America. He’s all for it. He’s very hardcore NIMBY.

If Elon was out of the picture, I’d be fine with SpaceX. They’ve done some cool things (reusable, self landing, mass produced rockets is a pretty great achievement) and would be in a better spot if he wasn’t at the helm pushing Starship to its doom.

To be fair, NASA would happily absorb SpaceX given the money and ability to. The Falcon series is exactly what they need and they could properly develop Starship.

Nobody should be switching TO Wordpress in 2025… or 2023 or 2020 even. But definitely not 2025.
