Let’s start a new thread here and call it ‘stuff my kids messed up I didn’t expect them to’. Please add your pics :) Here I provide a chewed Xbox controller (all three are like this) broken grill brush and a doll shoe dipped in coffee. #stuffmykidsmessedup

Crazy story, it could be interesting to keep an AirTag in your luggage for sure.
I’d just like everyone to know that @united has lost track of my bag and is lying about it. My apple AirTag shows that it has been sitting in a residential apartment complex for over a day. Out back by the dumpsters, I have found other emptied United Airlines bags.

This is the most Tatooine looking image I think has NASA has ever put out.
My power’s really low, so this may be the last image I can send. Don’t worry about me though: my time here has been both productive and serene. If I can keep talking to my mission team, I will – but I’ll be signing off here soon. Thanks for staying with me.

Holy crap and I mean holy crap did Twitter take an absolute dump. So many of the crazy right wingers showing up in my feed today. It's literally 95%+ of what I see and I didn't opt in or follow any of them.

Like any avid mountain biker I ride in the heat. Today was really hot out. The trail was just radiating heat off of it. I was curious about heat stroke and preventing it and came across this gem in reading about heat related illness. I must admit, I don't carry that gear.
I haven't checked the asp.net core benchmarks (ie asp.net) in a while. Wow. Killing it.
There has to be a name for that frustrating feeling you get when you STREEETCCCHHH to barely reach and put in a USB drive to the back of a computer and you realize you have to flip the plug around and try again.

Does atomic motion stop in absolute zero like it would at the end of time in a black hole? Is there a similarity here? #horizonslive

12 no votes. They saved their lives. And they voted no.
NEW: Congress votes 413-12 to approve legislation awarding Capitol Police and other law enforcement with Congressional Gold Medals for protecting the Capitol on 1/6. All 12 NO votes were Republicans including Matt Gaetz, Louie Gohmert, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Thomas Massie.

I wanted to see what would happen if heavy metal and holiday music duked it out in a playlist. What would Spotify recommend? We have a clear winner folks.

So my advice. Everything in Computer Science is a trade off. There is no universally superior language. Whatever you do, understand what the tradeoff are why you are making them. Don’t let it descend into a political war between opinionated factions.
