The sensation of it being yanked out was memorable. Unpleasant process, couldn't brush for almost a week if I recall.

Not sure you can read much into Medvedev's rage posting all that much. And with Trump, stuff is great once you don't look too closely at it.

Looks like more sanctions on Russia https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/sb0290 Aside, lol at the "radical left" crap on the top of the page.

Ukraine launched a large barrage today, not sure of damage done. I guess the timing is political though, gotta show for the Americans.

Some idiot at work was whining at me because Confluence was down, the page says there's an issue and gives a link to check status. I'm amazed my coworkers can dress themselves.

Mariners seemed like an incompetent side.

Woke up to AWS outage, fun way to start week. Also is Diwali, so my company is mostly out of the office, hah.

Witkoff isn't playing out as the best point man here.

Reminds me to read Amusing Ourselves to Death

https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/16/world/americas/trinidad-us-military-venezuela-boats.html Shouldn't be surprised the current administration acts like some bad cop stereotype but still is remarkable.

Just annoyance and having to do stuff that I don't think is necessary, really. Give them an inch and then we end up needing to have our toasters authenticate with the cloud to enable the bagel toasting setting.

Vance's defense, and thus MAGA, is that they are edgy kids. Well or Democrats said worse. Look at the proscribed groups and honestly argue Palestine Action fits in.

Wonder when they'll ask serious questions about the US blowing up boats in the Caribbean. Hah, right. American pols caring about brown people dying

Think I have gone as far as I can in D4. Playing WoW for Legion remix, is fun to make the game an ARPG or more so. Though the speed focus does make me lament the rush players are in constantly.

Win11 at work is strange, right click menu needs time to load.

Probably true, amazing people have such faith in Trump and Qatar. Then again some people will watch you load a gun in front of them but won't assume you fire until you pull the trigger. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cjr034p5prlo Hamas refuses, last I checked.

Sort of amusing the US has to save him despite how elections go.

Footage from the Portlandian front God bless the warfighters deployed there.

Well, to be fair Tomahawk's open a lot of targets up and Russian AD is spread out - although I guess they can put their Su-30/35s to work on those - so it's added pressure. Just usual excitement about everything in Russia being obliterated by them. Puck Nielsen has more optimism that Ukraine is storing missiles up to leave Russia with no electricity in winter, or something - https://www.logicofwar.com/what-is-ukraine-saving-its-missiles-for/

The celebration over Tomahawks (apparently invincible weapons) seems premature given Trump's waffling statement (before senile rambles)

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cdxq7zp7002o Hamas accepted the deal, sort of. Probably will fall apart, but the US seems to be claiming victory already
