I volunteer with my party, and we got told last week that our candidate’s campaign would kick off tomorrow, the 13th. Maybe they got wind of something like that.

It’s not going to be focused solely on him, but I think Armor Wars is still moving forward after it got moved from a TV show to a movie.

No, that’s a stew. A coup is a long procession that’s waiting for something.

It’s well-deserved confidence. The game alone would have been intriguing with just the sheer amount of choice that’s available, but the fact that it’s all excellently voiced is icing on the truly delicious cake. It’s one of those games that probably will only keep your attention for one or two full playthroughs, but those playthroughs will definitely be different for every person. If you want to give it a shot during the Summer Sale, you can finish at least the first part of a playthrough well under the refund time for Steam, in case it’s not your kind of game.

They’re pretty much only in line with the people who like his humor, but SsethTzeentach has some funny ones.

It was, for most of the movie, absolutely not a good time, but that was exactly the vibe they were going for. It’s cringey, anxiety-inducing, and in a lot of parts like watching a train wreck in slow motion. Definitely worth seeing, but probably not one I’d rewatch in a heartbeat.

All of this is just going off checking Wikipedia, so it could be wrong. Gluons are a type of particle that can have nine different “color states” depending on the quarks and anti-quarks that comprise them (despite the name, it has nothing to do with literal color). These states are made up of red, green, and blue for quarks, and anti-red, anti-green, and anti-blue for anti-quarks. Depending on the combinations of quarks and anti-quarks, the color state of gluons listed something like “red-antigreen” as “rg”, with the “g” having a line over it to show it’s anti-green, not green. Since you can have a color matched with the anti-version of its color, like I said earlier, you get 9 potential color states.

Then, of those 9 color states, you have combinations of two gluons of different types of states that combine. If you have a strong, stable version of this state, it’s called a color state singlet. Particles like protons have this state, and it allows them to interact with other particles that also have color singlets. However, gluons can’t interact at long range, that means they also can’t hold a color singlet.

So, that leaves 8 potential color state couplets that can be formed. I have no idea why there’s only 8 valid arrangements of those 9 couplets that aren’t a stable singlet, but apparently you can only get 8.

Also tagging @Owl@mander.xyz because I don’t think they’d get notified.

Edit: Sorry for the reply after it got answered. There was nothing when I started and it just took a while to figure it out.

HEY IS IT THIS ONE MFR?!

I remember there was one time where electro-swing was implicated in a gang massacre at a club. And the police seemed pretty shocked at the level of violence.

Normally I’d expect to see this stuff on !curatedtumblr@sh.itjust.works

Co-ops have been shown to be less likely to fail than traditional businesses in their first ten years. The article argues that if Canada spent $1b on helping workers to purchase businesses from retiring entrepreneurs, it would drastically raise the wealth of the poorest citizens and allow for more stable businesses.

The game didn’t really appeal to me, but I want to say that the trailer music absolutely slaps.

Even with the added costs of owning the home and upkeep, it’s only equivalent or just above rent, and that’s with the condo association fees and insurance. Even while renting I was stuck paying for utilities. And I’m highly aware that the roof needs replacing, given that we’ve got to replace ours within 5 years.

But if your point is “owning a home is more expensive than renting when you factor in all extra costs,” I want to again point out that most people are barely able to stay afloat. His point was that anyone can buy a house. Mine is that the money he thinks grows on trees literally does not exist for the majority of people.

I’m lucky enough to have been financially able to buy a home. I had help making the down payment, but we’ve now got a 30 year mortgage. My monthly payments are less than what I was paying for rent, less than the average rent in the city by almost a third. I got this place with two above-average incomes, and had the good fortune to get it during the COVID housing and interest rate dip, and I still needed extra help.

If someone is stuck with renting, they’re likely paying more than they would for a mortgage. They can’t save up the money because they’re already lagging behind, and the housing market isn’t coming down in price, and wages absolutely aren’t keeping pace. No one is saying a house would “lock them down,” they’re pointing out they can never afford it because they can’t even come up with the money to show the bank they can save because they’re already paying above the potential mortgage payments every month.

But you’re saying they won’t, not can’t, so what should they do to come up with the money? Start selling kidneys? 78% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, and that same link shows 71% have less than $2000 in their savings. So where exactly are people supposed to shit out your hypothetical $30,000?

It’s not a sex thing. It’s actually a lot worse.

It’s cheating since it’s already been done, but Edgar Wright expanded Mint Royale - Blue Song into Baby Driver.

In case you didn’t know, that’s actually a sequel to their other video The Stampede.
