Some of the references cited by the shuriken Wikipedia article appear to be of dubious scholarship.

Found an MRA who's big mad hurricanes are only named after women...

There's no reason why the Roku couldn't have been fast, but the Apple TV actually is.

You can tell sportswriters are not real journalists because they fail to identify the obscene gesture involved. Fortunately for you, I have done the research, and can report that it is because Lebron did the big balls dance.

I am willing to reconsider my petition to exile North Carolina from the union because their intrastate #freedomball antics are amusing.

Today on HN: the masks I saw people wearing on my last trip to the grocery store are a representative sample of the models people wear worldwide.

Slowly expanding my circle of bars that are in noncompliance with city covid protocols, and it's like I'm a roaring 20s larper. It's not that I disapprove of prohibition, but everyone is having so much fun.

When, precisely, does happy hour end, and perhaps more importantly, when is a customer order received? Is it when the customer shouts uno mas or when the bartender taps submit on the pos tablet?

Also, for future reference, how does happy hour work in communist societies?

The good news is the new covid variant confirms everything I believed yesterday.

An AWS price reduction? In this economy?

Consummist is an anagram for communist.

Did my part to keep the economy alive in the fight against the virus by buying (again) an Apple TV.

Biden is really making the dollar great again. Up 8% in value today alone.

Only the most powerful intellectual curiosity can ask the most important questions.

"Pa. electricity prices will be rising by as much as 50% next week."

The real inflation is all the overtime the phrase "as much as" is being forced to work.

And nowhere in the article does it explain the utility raising rates 50% was previously charging substantially less than average.

I want a new tv, but I don't want an old tv, and if I get a new tv that would result in me also having an old tv.

Who else longs for the days when kitchen appliances where 2x better and cost 10x more?

Today we give thanks for #freedomball overtime and the opportunity to spend more time yelling at the screen.

New frontiers in electrical engineering.

When will Biden open up the strategic huckleberry reserves???

"The vice-presidential shopping spree came as Americans stateside suffer from the worst inflation in three decades, putting strain on both consumers and small businesses."

But doesn't inflation mean the real cost of the pot wasn't that high? In 19 dickety six dollars, it was like a $3 pot.

"To really secure bitcoins, a hardware wallet or a passphrase in a safe deposit box."

Oh boy, wait until you find out just how much liability the bank has for keeping the contents of your box safe.

The federal reserve needs to crank interest rates so that all the house prices crash except for mine.

Who's hotter and who's cooler, Maui Jim or Tommy Bahama?

I really don't know how we intend to enforce truly equitable math, except by teaching more math. Whether you teach it in schools or not, some people are going to learn how compound interest works. Is the plan to ban such knowledge from the internet? Or to reshape society so that knowledge of natural phenomena is of no use?

First comment about this article is the implied subtext that nobody really needs calculus. But multivariable calculus, which most people don't get to until college if it all, is incredibly useful for understanding all sorts of things about the world around us.

Second comment is that this is quite the bait and switch, or motte and bailey, where we complain about the pronouns in math class, but then the example provided is completely unrelated.

And while some critics roll their eyes at the idea of, for instance, using “they” and “them” as a non-gendered singular pronoun, educators like Pariso say insensitive language can be a significant obstacle to learning.

She noted that an earlier draft of the framework included sample lessons on calculating a school cafeteria’s food waste — but that many of her students would have found the entire exercise alienating because they lack food security at home.

The six people running honk: nice flex.

Everyone else: wtf?

Really need to add strikethrough to honk's markdown support for maximal mastotrolling potential.

I never actually use the physical Apple Card. It sits in its holder, in my desk drawer, unblemished by the harsh conditions of the gritty world in which we live. As Steve Jobs would want.

In a crushing blow to big turtle, big straw disrupted the cocktail straw supply chain, so now everybody in the bar is getting long thick plastic tubes, just the way they like it.

The Apple Card weekly spending progress meter is peak consumerism.

Guess I'm not getting an Apple TV. UPS driver decided to silently hold it for pickup instead of delivering, holding period timed out, and now it's on the way back.

Well, this is a not great bug. iOS 15 safari just made the "private" tab group a normal tab group. It's still called private, but has all the cookies as any other. Not ideal.

Dutch cafe has added snert on toast to the menu. Or snot, as I like to call it.

Pay what you want night was a smashing success.

If you don't have a twitter account, you can't follow senator wyden, and therefore are an enemy of privacy.

"Congress will protect consumers' privacy to stop big tech companies from stealing Americans' personal information, whether these companies like it or not," Blackburn said in a statement.

Oh, good, I'm so sick of Jeff Bezos charging stuff to my credit card. He's got enough money, he should use his own card.

I have revoked everyone's fingerprints in the #honkstore.

Was going to post this the other day but I forgot.

Caught a case of the sniffles for the first time in over a year. Nature has healed. Now I am the virus.

But too late, the sniffles are gone. Now I am healed. Loose monetary policy is the virus.

Oof, somebody mentioned the turn of the century swing craze, and I was reminded I'm dangerously close to being a xoomer.

Five episodes in, right on schedule for the backstory episode. It's like everybody took the same tv series class in film school.

Ugh, kids these days and their low effort "I feel like x86 is coming to an end" comments. I've got some vintage "x86 is totally doomed" comments from ten years ago, and you just don't see passion and energy like that on today's forums.

If we replaced high speed rail with parallel moving sidewalks, each moving 1 m/s faster than the last, we'd need a track around 180 meters wide to get up to 300 km/hr.
