On April 30th, Josh Smith of Montana Knife Company said you won't have to worry about tariffs if you buy American.
Last week, he realized his costs are going up bc he imports equipment and steel. And so do his suppliers.
IMO many people aren't aware of how much they import.

We identified the operator of an overtly racist X account, @GlomarResponder as ICE Assistant Chief Counsel James Rodden, based on an overwhelming number of biographical details matched through publicly available documents, other social media activity, and courtroom observation.

What a terrible way to hide a backdoor. There are only two lines of code changed and one is the backdoor. Are they even trying??
Backdoor attempt on @exolabs through an innocent looking PR.
Read every line of code. Stay safu.
Mac Jones is back on the menu!
Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence, listed as questionable for Sunday due to a left shoulder injury, will not play vs. the Vikings, per source. The question is whether Lawrence will make it back for next Sunday vs. the Lions or whether the team will give him one more week off with Jacksonville’s bye coming the week after.

recently i started telling candidates right in the first interview that greptile offers no work-life-balance, typical workdays start at 9am and end at 11pm, often later, and we work saturdays, sometimes also sundays. i emphasize the environment is high stress, and there is no tolerance for poor work.
it felt wrong to do this at first but i’m convinced now that the transparency is good, and i’d much rather people know this from the get go rather than find out on their first day.
curious if other people do this and if there’s some obvious pitfall i’m missing.

It’s ok to move on from your ex bro. I promise.

just a reminder that if you’re storing a bunch of stuff on an external hard drive and you haven’t touched it in >10 years it probably doesn’t work anymore and if it does you should move everything off of it asap

BREAKING: Elon Musk says Kamala Harris will Shut down X and bring back Twitter if she wins the Election
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
While Musk did say this, as shown in the video posted as a reply to this post, Harris has not made this claim. The claim that she did so is based on a misleading clip from a 2019 interview where she speaks on Donald Trump’s Twitter account.
