If you're paying $7 for an egg, it better be some giant ostrich egg or from an endangered sea turtle or something.

Which would win in a fight, an ohmu or a sandworm?

“The U.S. would be better off if people like me, patriotic Americans, still tightly held the ownership of this business,” Mr. Pierce said in an interview. “My group of shareholders, probably $6-$10 billion of value I gave up. Was that really the right call with the benefit of hindsight? I don’t know.”

Man, I wish there was some more elaboration on how patriots owning tether benefits the US. And also, wtf did he give it up? He lost billions of dollars and he hurt the US. What kind of patriot does that?

First of all, what? Second, 80 in Miami, suckers.

Still here. Not bankrupt yet.

The price of the honk API will double every day from now until the end of free ride February.

Not your hub, not your code.

"Jalen Hurts has a girlfriend and Philly is in its feelings"

Bold choice going for the it/its pronouns, but I'm glad it cares for us.

"Notably, the Appeals Court that blocked this grotesque perversion of justice is based in Philadelphia, a city generally renowned for unimpeachable integrity."

Most ridiculous sentence I've read in a while.

Thinking of getting 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim to play on upcoming vacation.

Beer garden is more apocalyptic than celebratory.

If it's not your greased pole, then it's not any of your business who climbs it, now is it?

I bet twitter engineers are niners fans.

No fighting in the war room!

The inevitability of the goal line manpush.

Can you believe that if it weren't for the Mickey Mouse copyright act, tickets to the superbowl would be free?

Read a long article about 3-D printed houses, mostly about cost savings and labor reduction, but barely any mention of modular prefabs.

I missed the drone light show last night. I'm curious about the software setup for it. Apparently it's been a thing for a while, and there's a few companies doing it, but I've never seen one before.

It's a t-shirt, not a jersey, and therefore not even slightly annoying.

I need this man's real time assassination coordinates.

If I had known about warm weather snow makers sooner, I would have started a gofundme to sneak one into the linc and fill the stadium with snow before the game.

We are receiving disturbing reports of niners fans loose in the city.

Ant-Woman and the Asp

The men who wear shorts all winter

Confidence, however, is the real must-wear shorts accessory. Connell says that he’s got “chicken legs” but has no qualms putting them on show. “If women can wear short skirts everywhere, men should be able to wear shorts,” says Sanders, who also wants restaurants to allow them for dinner. “I take care of my legs, I’ve got a reasonably nice pair for my age. If you’ve got it, flaunt it, I say.”

Imagine writing an entire article about energy usage without specifying the amount of energy used. Speaking of wasted energy...

Some worry the amount of energy needed to make the fake snow contributes to the very problem resorts are trying to confront

The costly machines require an enormous amount of energy to operate

The machine uses electricity to draw from local water sources, pumping 20 gallons of water per minute.

some companies argue the amount of energy needed to run them is its own cause for concern

these energy-intensive machines are “really not the answer.”

“The irony of trying to fight temperatures by using a lot more energy to make snow is pretty much using the cause [of climate change] to find a solution.”

The SnowFactory, which has been sold globally for 10 years, requires nearly four times as much energy as normal snow guns.

Like TechnoAlpin’s SnowFactory, the Latitude 90 snow-making machine requires a lot of energy to operate.

While energy consumption is high for the machines, they use way less water — 12 gallons per minute compared with snow guns that use 70 to 110 gallons a minute, according to Brown.

That's every reference to energy use. Not a single mention of watts, or amps, or tons of coal, or whatever.

What's the best movie with "Bad" in the title?

I love that this website exists. 🚀🏴‍☠️💦

New blog post: I tried running a honk server, but I was dismayed by the vile things that the users were posting.

Imagine if, instead of complaining I don't like your posts, you invested that energy into checking your read receipts.

If you find a way to successfully convince people to sign up for your honk server so that you may rule over them, more power to you.

Help! I'm being oppressed because mastodon polls don't implement ranked choice voting!

For those fedizens curious about the governance model of honknet, I will refer you to the writings of Jean-Jacques Rousseau, notably but not exclusively The Social Contract.

I think I am slowly switching from team mint the coin to team mega coupon.

People drawing up conspiracies about the words inject and infect being similar, and hello, the word insect is right there too. How did you miss that?

Now that WOTC has released the DND rule book, who's excited for activitypub support to play online?

Haha, what, there's no whiskey in fireball (tiny bottles). This seems very deliberately deceptive.
