I like writing about cute characters in absurd situations
The WSJ is owned by Murdoch.
The Washington Post (WaPo) is owned by Bezos.

The Editorial Board on the WSJ is insane. They demanded the name of the 8 year old girl who was denied an abortion after being raped because it was too convenient that a total ban on abortions would cause that.

I love how supportive this is. An older, theoretically dominant, buck is showing the ropes to a nerd, and he's doing it in a way that the nerd can understand why. This entire story has been amazing deep dive into supportive physical behavior, and it honestly is how combatives feels.

The original source was 404media, linked in the website, from May of 2025, but that has a paywall.

So, they probably had a series of blacklisted commands, but as Grok became more widely used, people found those commands and circumvented them. Or Elon decided to keep loading in more nude images to Grok which affected its output.

The joys of dealing with a random output system under a sociopath

Honestly, great poll design. It's really fun to think about the impacts and guessing what you guess other people would do.

Nudity was "supposed" to be prevented by the guardrails within Grok, but that appears to have failed in a number of instances.

He's cute, he's valid, and I absolutely support him. (I would totally stare, that is a good build)

3. They can also be dicks and not try too hard to fix broken systems, while remaining in regulatory compliance.

So, there's a few answers there

1. The marketing emails tend to be done and approved in batches, so unsubscribe is only for future campaigns and can take a bit to go through the system
2. They can have a few different orgs in the company with different emails lists, and you need to hit all of them.

There is a safety officer, who is usually some overworked LT, but you're correct that OSHA doesn't have jurisdiction over the military.

Though even the most jaded safety officer probably won't like repurposing rocket fuel using a MRE spoon.

Before I could read the text, I was pretty sure that she was planning to shove him into a crematorium because it "was the cheaper option"

End result tasted pretty good.

After 8 hours, here are the results.
At absolutely (unrealistically) best, it increased the mix to 20% ABV, though is likely to be significantly less effective, and I can't attempt to begin to guesstimate the real outcome.

Historical fermentations tended to be between 2%-7% alcohol by volume, so I took apple cider, and added 7 shots of fireball to bring the total abv to 5%
I then weighed the entire mixture to calculate how much water was removed, giving me a rough idea of the end abv

Unfortunately, letting apple cider naturally ferment produces methanol and other poisonous forms of alcohol, so that's out. And there's exactly one commercial distillery in the US that still makes a form of it.

So, I'm tried to make an approximation.

I would totally play this beat-em-up. Love the character designs.

My reflex is to heart this but that feels wrong since it means "like", sorry you went through a rotten experience.

Isn't that the thing with games? People don't know what they want until they discover it. Balatro is so simple, but it completely changed the focus of a huge swath of indie games and bigger titles are trying to follow.

What they want is something new but the same. Poochie is eternal.
