So Pentagon bans photographers from SecDef briefing… I bet has everything to do with Colin Jost’s impression.

I wonder if these betting markets have a proffer on the likelihood of a tactical fissionable weapon being used in the current conflict? If so, who will employ it?

I use Claude but forgot I left on push notification authorization testing out image generation stuff last fall. Today it abused that authorization to send me this. So, yoink! Also, the winter games have been over for a week or more! Feels like a test that got out in the wild.

At the hospital again today for Dad and finally home and looking at the Neo. Seems quite interesting. The other day after the new MBA announcement, I put my 2025 MBA serial number into the store to see what they would offer as a trade in. $155 bucks for a Mac I bought in late August. Really? It’s in perfect shape.

Being a pilot, and military legacy, I think about costs. Three F-15 strike eagles accident shot down is maybe around $150+ million in equipment cost? Thank the maker all the pilots survived. Still… getting shot out of a cockpit at ludicrous speeds really takes a toll.

@ike@pkm.social A good recommendation would be take him to museums and let him pick out a plane or model for himself from the gift shop. Building Lego planes was always a fun Dad/son activity. He can recognize the beautiful roar of a P-51D Merlin engine even now. Trying to encourage him to get his A&P now actually.

Personally, I am not a fan of the ‘custard in the shape of toast’ style of french toast. I would rather it retain structural integrity, and have a bit of resistence in the centre. It shouldn’t be goo.
