For this to work you would have to specific ban those workers from being allowed to negotiate away their percentage in exchange for guaranteed wages. Because many people would want to make that trade for good reason, because these types of out-of-the-blue success stories are are the exception not the rule.

People come at this one case as if success was a foregone conclusion. This level of financial success was absolutely not a sure thing for a movie made by 2 YouTubers, even if it was good. Plenty of people would negotiate away their equity stake for an increased wage (which would be a good choice in many cases), and some of them would then complain afterwards if it succeeded. Plenty of movies flop. As a person whose work cannot guarantee it even primarily influence success or failure, it makes no sense to trade guaranteed wages for equity in most cases.

The motive that makes sense to me is that Zelensky is really speaking to everyone else in Russia who might be exhausted with the war, and seeking to embolden them. Ukraine can now do this from a position of strength, where Russia simply cannot protect their own airspace.

Protip if you’re squeamish absolutely do not look up photos of what this does to cattle and other fauna. Pure nightmare fuel.

Yeah but she paid right?

The reason you don’t “blame the victim” in most situations is that victims generally do not bear causal or moral responsibility over their situation. These stupid fucks bear both.

David McGuinty stumbled into the defence minister job just by staying alive and continuing to win his riding long enough. He had no expertise on the defence file and is a pure political operator - he is just towing the line because fundamentally he’s just happy to be there.

Unfortunately is he minister of defence and his statements do matter to some extent, but it’s worth remembering the context here.

Reuse is only good in the context of 90s era OO programming wisdom of “Coupling is bad, cohesion is good”.

There is now a free home assistant plugin to implement it at home lol. Crazy shit. Imagine what’s possible with classified tech.

The theme did throw me at first but I feel like the show didn’t fully come into its own until seasons 3-4. The season 3 Xindi arc has aged beautifully. And the Vulcan arc where the high command is abolished was also very good.

Also in the mirror episodes Hoshi in the crop top made me feel things.

1. Trump is legacy shopping and “fixing” Cuba/Iran/whatever fits the bill. 2. He has yet to face a single actual consequence for any of this military adventurism so for him there’s really no reason not to.

My therapist has took this angle immediately - anxiety is a part of us and has a real function - to make us more cautious. But in the modern world it misfires and makes us anxious about things we don’t need to be anxious about which can stop us from doing what we want/need to do. So you acknowledge that voice within yourself, understand that it’s coming from a good place, and then gently push it aside.

I mean I suck at actually doing this but it seems like sound advice.

To be clear, he’s not a billionaire. He desperately wants to be, but he’s currently not.

This appears to be by the same company that makes the shitty knife in the OP but they have demos of the industrial version of it first.

They haven’t had the option until now so that’s trivially true. This is among the first times this tech has been put into a hand-held knife. Until now it’s been limited to industrial food processing where you’re cutting something sticky. Turns out you can prevent sticking just by vibrating the blade at a few khz. No chemical coatings required.

I don’t expect wide adoption among chefs and this won’t at any point replace a substantial proportion of normal knives. And this implementation of the tech is silly and bears all the flaws of modern product design. But it is cool tech.

Ultrasonic cutting tech is really cool tbh. That doesn’t mean the fucking thing has to be internet connected and have firmware updates .

These stupid-ass dolphin stories have been popping up for decades. Just because some bored and overfunded DoD guys might have attempted to weaponize dolphins back in the 60 doesn’t make any of this relevant in 2026 in the age of cheap drones.

I mean the headline does say “permits” rather than referring to the workers themselves.

Alarm for whom? He’s reshaping the US military so that it will never ever question orders no matter what. The true goal here is making them swear to Trump/MAGA directly rather than the constitution.. Since they can’t quite move directly to that they have to make incremental steps and they will get as close to this as they can.

I had this at Chickelini’s. I was a piece of shit though.
