Anime characters & zoomers use the T pose to assert dominance, while tradespeople show their ass crack.

I have no idea what the cost, efficacy, or availability of this product is. https://hydrocell.fi/en/air-cleaners-carbon-dioxide-filters-and-dac-appliances/uniqfresh-air-cleaners/

The only maintenance required is changing of the activated-carbon filter every six months, and replacement of the HEPA filter every five years. In normal use, the carbon dioxide filter cassette has a lifetime of at least 15 years.

Effects of indoor plants on CO2 concentration, indoor air temperature and relative humidity in office buildings

We examined the impact of indoor plants on air quality parameters in office environments, focusing on relative humidity, indoor air temperature, and CO2 concentration. Our findings demonstrated that, while indoor plants significantly increase relative humidity, they had a negligible effect on indoor air temperature and CO2 concentration in the offices we sampled. This suggests that while plants can enhance comfort in dry indoor environments, their role in regulating temperature and CO2 levels is limited.

I guess I’d need to invest in a CO~2~ scrubber.

 

Some estimates suggest up to one in 30 people may be affected by developmental topographical disorientation (DTD).

This condition has been described as a lifelong inability to orient oneself — even in extremely familiar surroundings.

People with DTD report getting lost frequently (at least a few times a week) since childhood.

DTD is not caused by a brain injury, a neurological disease or a psychiatric condition.

As far as researchers can tell, this is just simply how their internal navigation system has always worked.

The reassuring part is that atopia and DTD is not degenerative and navigation is more trainable than some people might think.

These claims include that when the former Vice President was in office, he engaged in criminal activity in his dealings with Ukraine and individuals tied to Ukrainian energy firm Burisma.

In other words, they “conspired” to state facts about Hunter Biden, Burisma, and the “big guy.”

I think/hope this is a good piece for those whose minds need a few things spelled out for them in order to expand beyond their personal, colloquial experience.

My first time reading about dialectical/historical materialism was a funny experience, now that I think about it. It was mostly spelling out my own understanding of the world to me. I could have saved a lot of time if I’d read them decades ago instead of reinventing the wheel.

The Financial Times is the pre-eminent British bourgeois rag, and the City of London is a common & apropos metonym for the haute bourgeoisie.

I have friends who actually are autistic

Then ask them, not pseudonymous randos on the internet.

 

Some quality deadpan right here.

 

Mental healthcare has an extortion problem.

tl;dr: The Schedule II ADHD drug manufacturers collude to create artificial shortages and jack up prices.

 

Revenue is just an agreement between friends.

LARP pairs you with another founder. You send them $10,000. They send you $10,000 right back. You've both now booked $10,000 in revenue. The books balance. Cash never moves. Everybody's a rocketship.

Guo Wengui, a Chinese businessman who transformed himself from a Beijing insider into an anti-Communist crusader and ally of the American far right, was sentenced to 30 years in prison on Monday for defrauding investors, including many of his own fervent supporters, of hundreds of millions of dollars.

Mr. Guo, who had made a fortune in Beijing as a real estate developer and had forged an alliance with a corrupt intelligence official there, fled China in 2015, settling in a $68 million Manhattan penthouse overlooking Central Park. There, he took to social media and YouTube, denouncing the Chinese Communist Party and luring thousands of followers convinced that Mr. Guo would harness his wealth and inside knowledge to bring democracy to China.

He took them into his confidence and they showered him with money, buying shares in his media company, dubious club memberships and a fake cryptocurrency that he promised would make them all rich beyond belief.

Mr. Guo, also known as Miles Kwok, used that money to fund a lavish lifestyle, buying an estate in rural New Jersey, a mansion in Greenwich, Conn., and a $4.4 million Bugatti supercar. He was arrested at his Manhattan apartment in 2023 and convicted in federal court the following year of racketeering conspiracy, securities fraud and money-laundering conspiracy.

Judge Analisa Torres of Federal District Court in Manhattan said on Monday that Mr. Guo had “preyed on people seeking to bring democracy to China,” causing them “substantial financial and emotional harm.”

She handed down a 30-year sentence, the punishment requested by federal prosecutors, who had likened Mr. Guo’s crimes to those of the notorious fraudster Bernard Madoff.

Since February 2026, the XLAB large-scale network threat perception system has detected a new malware family active in cyberspace that adopts a Loader + Core (two-stage loading) architecture. Currently, the family has spawned multiple variants, with the main core functionality being the execution of large-scale Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks. It also possesses strong cross-platform adaptability and continuous evolution capabilities.

Although the family's current activity level and influence in DDoS attacks are not yet comparable to some mainstream botnets, its speed of technological evolution deserves significant attention. Research has found that the family is undergoing a comprehensive technological transition from C to Rust, and its anti-defense and traffic encryption techniques are also iterating rapidly. Based on the shift of its technology stack from C to Rust and the characteristic of early core payloads encrypting three duckdns C2 domains, we have named it RustDuck.

In terms of sample propagation, the spread chain of this family mainly covers IoT devices, web applications, and enterprise infrastructure. The attack methods primarily involve weak password brute-forcing (Telnet/SSH) and the exploitation of various RCE vulnerabilities, including device vulnerabilities in Android ADB, TVT API, Ruijie, TP-Link, ZTE, and others, as well as web/component vulnerabilities such as ThinkPHP, Jenkins, YARN. It also combines several historical CVEs (CVE-2025-29635, CVE-2017-17215, CVE-2018-8007, CVE-2024-1781) to expand the attack surface. Overall, it presents a combined propagation characteristic of "weak passwords + IoT vulnerabilities + Web RCE", capable of covering routers, cameras, Android terminals, and server environments, enabling large-scale automated intrusion and payload delivery. Currently, over 20 IPs have been observed participating in spreading the RustDuck botnet, with the most active implant source IP being: 176.65.139[.]204
