the nobility of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth for a time believed themselves to be descended from the "Sarmatians," an Iranic people thought to have conquered the Slavic peoples, and adopted a syncretic culture based on it. Gotta admit: they did have that drip on en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarmatism
also want to remind you, gently or not, that unverified "the infernal machine switched my vote!!1!1?!" rumors are utterly bog standard every single election, but it's easily verifiable that, for example, no county in South Carolina uses DREs so what they're claiming is simply not physically possible
As we approach the midterms, remember that the Alt National Park Service is a merch sales operation claiming without evidence to be a group of federal employees, and is not a genuine source of news about elections of any kind. Please get your election info from a local, reputable source.
the single category of task Google is absolutely profoundly the worst at, hands-down, every single time, with no improvement observed over a significant period of time? distinguishing whether you're searching w/r/t the country Georgia or the ADM0 of the United States Georgia. every time. hope. less.
Big Woods State Park might sound like a lazy name, but it's a specific ecotype of deciduous forest in Minnesota and Wisconsin that are wetter than the prairies to the west and warmer than the coniferous forests to the north.

btw whenever we computer people are talking about something security-wise, if you are a normal human being the answer to "what do I need to do?" is nearly always "apply software updates when it is suggested you do so"
I am not a security blog, but if you are computer and aware of any PHP in your portfolio (even embedded), a CVE with a 9.2 that smells to me like a 10 (CERT warning "consider isolating internet-facing applications from public networks") is coming in piping red hot cert.europa.eu/publications...
What Anthropic is doing is akin to building a heavy rail metro line into the countryside. They're saying, "if we don't build this, in 10 years we won't be able to charge metro fares to 1m residents," which would look smart except then you need someone else to build a city for your spend to make good
