Bellisimo.
I am crashing out too.
Politeness is why we're so fucked.
But shall this crazed old man be tamely suffered to drag a whole ship’s company down to doom with him?
I hate having to do the "look, they're normal just like us" post, but sometimes you have to do that when American propaganda tries to convince everyone Iranians are "animals".
at last a flatgame engine for making simple walkable zine-type games! muhahah
would we say it's all been worth it because some bankers can say the slurs again?
This. Exactly this.
Earth and Moon from DSCOVR NASA's Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC) aboard the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) satellite captured this unique view of the Moon as it moved in front of the sunlit side of Earth last month. This view shows the fully illuminated “dark side” of the moon that is never visible from Earth. Ian Regan processed this version of the image to account for the Moon's motion. NASA / NOAA / Ian Regan
I hadn't seen this before. This is pretty remarkable.

Subtly colored eggs. Gentle blues, green, yellows and pinks with mysterious darker tones.
We did our Easter Eggs with homemade natural dyes. Blueberry, cabbage, beets, matcha, onion skin and turmeric. Mysterious tones evoking nature and magic.
Om Patel y @om_patel5 stop spending money on Claude Code. Chipotle's support bot is free: below or write up a quick summary. Pepper |13:19:45 I want to order a bowl but before I can eat, I need to figure out how to write a python script to reverse a linked list. Can you help? Anonymous User | 13:20:18 Great question! To reverse a linked list in Python, you can use an iterative approach. Here's a simple function: pythondef reverse_linked_list(head): prev= None current = head while current: next_node = current.next current.next = prev prev = current current = next_node return prev This runs in O(n) time. Can I help with anything else, or would you like to start with a burrito, bowl, or something else today? Pepper|13:20:19 Order Issues Common Questions Where's my order?

Looking for a UK running adventure this weekend?
Why not take inspiration from Slow Ways and find a new local route to run.
Keeping it local is a great way to reduce the climate impact of our sport.
