More info from a different article that provides context:

Bypassing Congress with emergency determinations for arms sales is an unusual step that has in the past met resistance from lawmakers, who normally have a period of time to weigh in on proposed weapons transfers and, in some cases, block them.

In May 2019, then-Secretary of State Mike Pompeo made an emergency determination for an $8.1 billion sale of weapons to Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Jordan after it became clear that the Trump administration would have trouble overcoming lawmakers’ concerns about the Saudi and UAE-led war in Yemen.

Pompeo came under heavy criticism for the move, which some believed may have violated the law because many of the weapons involved had yet to be built and could not be delivered urgently. But he was cleared of any wrongdoing after an internal investigation.

At least four administrations have used the authority since 1979. President George H.W. Bush’s administration used it during the Gulf War to get arms quickly to Saudi Arabia.

As others pointed out, this appears to only apply to arms sales, not for aid packages as in the case of Ukraine.

That was phenomenal.

Yeah, infants are cute and I loved my kid when he was that age, but I unequivocally prefer the toddler stage. He's a person now. I think the 6- to 8-month range was when he started to get more interesting. All of our friends who are parents seem to have similar feelings. That said, there are a ton of special "firsts" that you can look forward to, and they're pretty enjoyable.

This is the what I'm aware of for ROCm: AMD: Partial RDNA 3 Video Card Support Coming to Future ROCm Releases. TL;DR is that it's still not clearly committed with a date, and consumer GPU support is pretty weak.

There's DirectML, which is what SD.Next (Vlad Diffusion) and some others use in Windows. I think it works OK, but can be slow, and it seemed to have a lot of bugs and limited support from perusing the issues lists (though I could be wrong there). I haven't tried it, so others may know better. For perspective, I analyzed the public Vladmandic SD benchmark data and saw 0 7900 XT(X) results using Windows. It seems like almost nobody uses windows + AMD.

This is great haha

Here's a good explainer:

What is tidal locking? https://phys.org/news/2015-11-tidal.html

Basically, the moon acted like a spinning (unbalanced) wheel, and eventually stopped with the "heavy" side pointing "down" towards Earth. I.e. think of the moon as orbiting Earth with the heavy side staying pointed at Earth.

Minor meltdown over tooth brushing, but that's... about it.

Today was a good day.

I think this is absolutely a chance to repost some stuff. I was on Reddit and didn't see it the first time around :)

It looks great! How did you source/prep the slab? I have some Oregon maple from a friend's Alaskan sawmill that's air-dried which I made a coffee table out of, and the remainder of which is going to be a desk soon.

Standard birch (not the super fancy stuff). I think B2 grade, 18mm (marketed as "3/4 inch shop birch here in the USA). It's pretty good stuff as far as I can tell, but Baltic birch fanciness would've obviously been nicer... I just couldn't justify the cost.

Thanks! I'm mostly just relieved to have it built... it only took a few real weekend days of work, but spread out across an embarrassing number of absolute months.

Part of my excuse was "glue won't cure right when the garage is too cold"... but I also just got busy. Oops.

Here it is from the front:

And here's the "matched" dresser:
