How I know you didn’t read the article or your reading comprehension is abysmal:
"DOGE failed to cut spending because most federal spending was for entitlement programs, where spending remains high due to structural reasons and policy autopilot,” CATO’s analysis continued. “Congress alone has the authority to cut these programs, so it’s unsurprising that DOGE did not reduce spending.”
The article doesn’t say DOGE is the cause of the increase of spending. It states that the purpose of DOGE was to reduce waste and cut spending, but federal government spending has gone up in 2025 from 2024.
This article is stating the obvious, to those who didn’t buy the lies Trump and Musk were selling, but backed up the assertion with financial data.
I don’t know enough about Qualcomm to determine if they will be good arbiters of RISC-V, but it is exciting to see a major player like Qualcomm make moves to embrace RISC-V.
Hopefully this isn’t a way for Qualcomm to simply squash their competition by acquiring them and letting the company languish.
So the “nuh-uh you!” Legal approach?
TIL they are decentralized and that does make keeping them offline harder, but does make issues like honeypots and malicious mirrors more likely as sites come and go.
Ya this is sure the beginning of the end for them. They aren’t an “AI” company so the full force of the government will come after them now that they have been named in a mainstream publication.
I have to correct you on your last point. It’s only because he gives away things to poor people and not just rich people that makes him a filthy socialist.
If Santa was handing out tax breaks and children to the elite, they’d put him in the Whitehouse instead of trump.
When you can’t comprehend that jury nullification is a by product of our judicial system. It can be used for bad or good - see lynchings of the jim crow era vs those helping slaves escape.
This prick is the embodiment of the fascist belief that the law has in groups that it does not bind but protects and our groups that bind but do not protect.
As much as I want to make a joke about Teams sucking this will be the foothold that Microsoft uses to work their way back in.
Its what people know and are familiar with and it might cause enough friction to undo the migration.
Yep and if you want to get really fancy, ya can put the box on stilts and put a 5th filter on the bottom!
It is setup to pull in air through the filters into the box and push it up through the top.
Just doing my part ground control 🫡
I used the box from the box fan to create a bottom to make it a bit more sturdy for moving around and ensure more air flows through the filters instead of slipping in under the filters.
It also helped making the CR Box easier. I used it as a mount point for each filter.
I duct taped the filter to the bottom piece creating a sort of hinge that let the filter lay flat outward.
I then would prop up two filters creating a corner and tape them on the inside and outside.
Then I’d do the same with the two remaining filters. Then finally tape the final two corners.
The next step i do is optional, but it made taping the fan on top easier. I created a fan shield, which is like the bottom but a big hole in the middle. Tape that on top.
Finally, place the fan on top tape it and try to seal any gaps.
Oh, that’s an interesting idea, not too much different from a swamp cooler actually so ya I think it would work.
My question is, where would be the optimal spot for the ice/icepacks:
Ohhhhh that’s a great idea! Thanks for the suggestion!
Will all of you get out of my house?!?!
Ya, they were brand new filters from the store. I bought them along with the box fan and duct tape.
This apartment doesnt have a HVAC system (just wall mounted AC unit) so it’s doing all the air filtration.
Funny enough I cleaned that rug after first moving in (apartment was pre-furnished) and it looked clean for a whole day.
Yes it can!
I was a little miffed when i went to buy the goods for this box because i couldn’t get MERV 14 filters and had to settle for MERV 13.
I plan to make a frame so i can just slide filters in each side with the fan mounted on top. I’ll have to figure out a means to create a nice seal between the frame and filters so the air passes through instead of around.
I like to believe all the baby penguins dropped off the cliff in Mario 64 are the reason the penguins in the Madagascar movie have a military air about them.
They were the special ops team trained to take down the mustached maniac menace before getting captured enroute to the LZ.
