Apple recently hired dozens of IDF agents from Unit 8200. "One of the most important projects Unit 8200 launched in recent times is the pager attack on Lebanon, an act that injured thousands of civilians & widely condemned as an act of international terrorism." www.mintpressnews.com/apple-israel...

These guys are easy to multiply by leaf cuttings in just water. Pick one up at ikea and separate all the leaves to make 15+ plants. They are very nice looking and don't need much care at all.

Trump imposed a 25% tariff on Japan because they didn't strike a deal. But... Japan's chief trade negotiator was in DC for talks and couldn't get a meeting with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. He delayed his departure for 24 hours, hoping, but Bessent never made time for him.

Not only did Apple just get the Apple retail worker's successful NLRB win thrown out on appeal, but Apple & the Appellate Court are making US NLRB pay Apple's attorney fees. That's your tax dollars, folks. Your $ is going to pay Apple's ethically challenged $2k/hour lawyers for their union busting.

Order: IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Respondent/Cross-Petitioner pay to Petitioner/Cross-Respondent the costs on appeal to be taxed by the Clerk of this Court.

Playing with Ruby and Event Sourcing as a mechanism for ordered web hook delivery. Webhook for the same resource (ex. "product1") are delivered in order (no new web hook is sent until the previous one is sent successfully), but hooks for different resources are sent concurrently from each other.

Woot! #Linux market share went over 5% in the US. AND Windows market share dropped by 7%!!! This is awesome. What a great step forward for humanity. AI makes it easy to make the switch to Linux. This is just the start.

My observations of the deep sea glass sponge lil' guy that moved in with me in 2020 after it was dug up from an ancient hydrothermal system, first made me concerned I'd gone insane, but after insanity was unfortunately ruled out I realized glass sponges are amoeba-animals: zenodo.org/records/1581...

In my lawsuit, Apple still has not explained why it fired me, and their amended answer still did not provide facts to support their defenses. At midnight on a long weekend, the Court denied my motion to strike & said I CAN'T argue its illegal to retaliate against someone reporting issues to the gov.

The last sentence of the defense initially presented some concern to the Court because it is arguably vague. Apple, however, has now sufficiently addressed that concern. In its opposition, Apple points to specific paragraphs in its amended answer to substantiate its claim that incorrect or incomplete information was given to the government and/or public. See Opp’n at 6 (citing Am. Ans. ¶¶ 97, 132, and 183). In her reply brief, Ms. Gjovik raises a new argument – i.e., that it is illegal to engage in an adverse employment action such as termination if an employee has engaged in protected activity such as reaching out to a government agency. Because this is a new argument not raised until reply, the Court does not entertain it. In addition, Ms. Gjovik has not cited authority to support the proposition that giving false or inaccurate information (as alleged by Apple) is protected activity, at least if done so knowingly and absent a reasonable belief. Cf. Cal. Lab. Code § 1102.5(a) (providing protection for a whistleblower “if the employee has reasonable cause to believe that the information discloses a violation of state or federal statute, or a violation of or noncompliance with a local, state, or federal rule or regulation”) (emphasis added); Smith v. Cnty. of Santa Clara, No. 5:11-cv-05643-EJD2016 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 101357, at *43-44 (N.D. Cal. Aug. 1, 2016) (noting that plaintiff showed “she had a reasonable belief Defendants' were engaging in unlawful and unethical practices,” and, even if her “belief was later determined to be incorrect, her retaliation claim is actionable so long as her mistaken belief was made in good

Cut the hoses to be nice and short. Now watering everything on the balcony using a pump is easy and stored away nearly underneath the bbq! No need to go back and forth 100 times to refill a watering can, just one giant bucket!
