A close friend posted this in our group chat at the time I was writing the previous post, so it deserves being shared here

This equipment had huge problems right from the get-go, the factory flew an engineer out from Germany because "you can't be right" I picked him up from the airport and took him there. His jaw dropped and I felt so bad I took him to lunch, boss almost fired me that day for using the company card, lol

5 of a cats 6 ends are sharp, and I trust none of them, lol

The manufacturer went bankrupt 5 years ago, parts have run dry. The equipment cannot be removed, so will have to be entombed and built over, the logistics are unimaginable, lol

Oh goodie, the machinery I warned wouldn't last 10 years, a decade ago, has failed, and now they want to address it after 5 years of warnings. Too bad the contractor at the time told me I was wrong about not setting them IN the buildings foundation. I can fix many things, but I can't fix stupid.

For those not in the know, plenary authority generally means "full and complete authority, without restriction".

Or in Cornell University's words: "power that is wide-ranging, broadly construed, and often limitless for all practical purposes."

Title 10 refers to general military law.

Give folks their flowers

No, I mean right now. Go tell someone you loved their work right now. They're on social media just say it, it has never been easier

"They know how much people love--" no they don't go say it right now to a composer or artist or game dev or writer or anyone AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

Murlin @murlin.bsky.social · 12d

From bravewave.net/interviews/t...

Mo: Do you remember the first time you met someone who said they loved your work on Mega Man 2?

Tateishi: You’re the first, in 2013. No one else has.

Mo: Wow. I’m surprised. I don’t even have a follow-up question… how could no one come up and say something.

Tateishi: …

Mo: Now that you know how big Mega Man 2 is outside of Japan, do you look fondly back at the soundtrack?

Tateishi: Yeah, my thoughts have changed since I met you and became more aware of how people felt. But even when I was at Konami, I didn’t even bother telling anyone I did Mega Man 2. So the fact you came all the way to Japan to tell me these things makes me very happy I worked on the game all those years ago.

A WILD ONE: A man broke his leg during an arrest by ICE at a car wash south of L.A.

ICE has held him under 24/7 guard at a hospital, registering him under a pseudonym, for *37 days* without telling him why.

A judge has ordered his immediate release.

Johnson: "Russ does this reluctantly. He takes no pleasure in this. Russ has to sit down and decide which policies, personnel, & programs are essential & which are not. That's not a fun task and he's not enjoying that responsibility...if they keep the govt closed, it's gonna get more & more painful"
