No my joke made sense regardless, all you needed to know was

• low income person works

I didn’t understand the joke because I didn’t understand the whole thing

Vinny, quit the Dollar Tree

that'll show Pika up

and he'll have to eat his joke

plus, ngl this bill actually kinda fucks you

through 2028

well yeah, poor people should die is usually how these bills go

the funnier part of the bill Pika

is Ted Cruz, the texas guy

snuck a secret paragraph into the bill

which steals the Challenger Space Shuttle from Virginia

and no one read the bill, or had chatgpt read the bill

before signing it

lmfao

so after it passed, he had a big public "fooled you all" party

So does he actually get it

legally, yes

but so, the thing is

it's impossible to move the space shuttle now

Honestly, more of these bills should just sneak insane things in, since no one reads them

when they moved it to Virginia (which I got to watch as a kid)

they disassembled the orbiter afterwards

so it cannot be moves anymore

and also, it's owned by the Smithsonian, so congress doesn't have the power to give it to Ted Cruz anyway

it's just a really funny, ballsy thing that happened

That’s hysterical

didn't they read the entire thing out loud for 15 hours?

yeah but who the fuck listens to that

so 1) I don't think that counts 2) Cruz wrote it in code

politicians just sign what they are told to sign

Good pickup

Hardcover edition

I read this

because Vinny asked me about it, and I knew nothing about it

This was like 5 years ago or something

HAPPY 7/7 EVERYONE!!!!

WE DID IT BOYS

ANOTHER GLORIOUS 7/7

happy 7/7

Pika, I have a really interesting math thing to tell you about later

We were fucking around for a few hours, and one of my engineers stumbled backwards into solving a generalized case for beam steering for ESAs

classic

Fucking around leading to math discussion leading to actual progress is such a typical scenario lol

so is this the max situation?

That CNN clip of the guys wife asking how she failed her marriage stays winning

Spooky AI added a new cat snake to the gif pool

I did not realize

Pika, that's a snake-cat

check the filename

true

politics-adjacent sorta

but all of the people finding out about weather modifications for the first time is funny

chemtrail peeps are riding high, explaining cloud seeding to everyone

did people not know about government trying ot make it rain in places where it needs to rain

People have been manipulating the environment for ages it's nothing new

I actually don't know if this is a Mandela effect or what

but I remember them denying chemtrails and weather manipulation for a long time

i heard about cloud seeding years ago

but you could always just go look up and see that there are a bunch of techniques the government use

maybe they were just denying the exaggerated parts?

idk

yeah idk, like a lot of things I think if they were less obnoxiously secretive about it, nobody would care

probably

the same thing happens with corpo's. they're weirdly silent about a lot of stuff where if they were just transparent it would lead to less drama

from what I gathered, the stuff released today was them saying they don't do it anymore and the program was never classified in the first place

and also an explanation of basic cloud physics

I saw a couple clips from a cloudseeding company CEO who (probably) caused the texas storm, downplaying the possibility he caused the storm by saying cloud seeding doesn't work and you're silly if you think it does

lol

It 100% was made out to be some crazy conspiracy thing back in the day

I think the conspiracy part is they are doing it to make people sick

the fact that they are doing stuff to the air is just literally true

Im out of the loop on weather tech, isnt all that shit bullshit and doesnt work still just due to the scale of weather systems

Im pretty sure it works to a certain point, dont they do it in Dubai
