  • Who threw them and when? If it was an angry little half-Indian girl circa 1989, my wife is going to be deeply satisfied.

  • Texas school sent waiver for parents to allow kids to be coached by sex offender

    Jump

  • That's specifically from the Jeezus-y homeschool-centric baseball academy and travel team that actually employees him. One district, Southlake Carroll (they of the "rich racists" NBCNews podcast and just generally obnoxious try-hards), had him listed as an authorized outside coach. So not exactly from a school, but absolutely and horrifically education-adjacent.

    No worries though! There was also the nominally public charter school in San Angelo, which still has their Christ-centered mission on their about page from when they were a creepy Christian private school, who just had to fire the football staff and half the adminsitration for giving a bunch of kids rhabdo and then covering it up. Their sister school had to fire all the kindergarten(!) teachers because they marched misbehaving children around the room so the other kids could shout "shame!" and point.

  • Little known fact, early warp engines operated on a relativistic turbine system and were powered by "burying" one gram of Bill Watterson's ashes in engineering and then putting one of these stickers on the ship.

    As an aside to an aside, IIRC the real image is Calvin, pants on normally, slyly tying off a water balloon before his plan is inevitably foiled by a handsome and stealthy tiger.

  • Make It Myself [XKCD]

    Jump

  • You forgot the additional $3000 and five years to do enough projects to gain the skills to make a table your loved ones will allow in the house. 🤣

  • What's a scientific fact that sounds made up but is 100% real?

    Jump

  • It's close, though. IIRC, you can't say the same thing about Miami.

  • I bet myself I couldn't run a 2,5km lap back to this shadow line

    Jump

  • Now the real questions are how long did it take, and which direction did you go? What if you did all this and it turns out you only ran 2.499 km?!?!?!?! Eratosthenes is looking at you disapprovingly.

  • TIL spam (as refering to online unwanted communication) came from a Monty Python sketch.

  • Well, spam, egg, sausage, and spam – that’s not got much spam in it.

  • Assuming all is above board, the main concern I have is if it’s worth that much to them, wouldn’t it be worth that much to me?

    Yes, and then some. It sounds like you'd do better randomly selecting a realtor to throw it up on MLS "as-is," and even better if you followed the usual, admittedly annoying, process. These companies are not literal "risking jail" scams, but they're not your friends either, and they will not be offering you anywhere close to market value. My sister and I looked into a couple of them when our dad passed, and the offers were far below what we pulled with a Realtor, even priced to move and with a kind of costly "turnkey" arrangement where they arranged cleanup and inspections.

  • What is a hobby you wish you could do?

    Jump

  • I have a halfway decent woodworking setup, plus a 3D printer and a cheap laser, but metalworking is just not really an option. The space dedication, plus the oils and the fire hazards and the scraps/shavings/slivers/chaff/god-knows-what-else all being completely incompatible with sharing a space with the rest of it. Sigh, just not likely to happen until and unless I can get in with the makerspace mafia. I am thinking of trying to figure out designing for mills and using metal-bending workbenches in CAD, though, and sending more designs off to be fabbed.

  • ‘He’s lied about everything’: Iran war puts Trump on shaky ground with young MAGA men

    Jump

  • I mean, why else do we think this was the final straw?

  • Oklahoma city council members welcomed a Google data center. Now they face a recall.

    Jump

  • Good for the recall folks, though I'm sure there's a share of pure NIMBYs in there and some folks definitely having the day they voted for. That's funny that the supporters think the 1000 construction jobs will be for locals and not the specialized oilfield-like firms that are already staffed up to work these projects, or that Google will have 200 permanent staffers tied to the location and contributing to the town's tax base.

  • FEMA disaster chief claims he is able to teleport and 'landed in a ditch'

    Jump

  • However, after a weeks in the role, several FEMA officials said they came around to Phillips after seeing his initiative during the January storm response.

    “Gregg Phillips is FEMA’s best hope at this moment. I can’t believe I’m saying that,” one high-ranking FEMA official told CNN at the time.

    Same, unnamed FEMA official, same.

  • Chief Justice John Roberts says that hostility toward judges has ‘got to stop’

    Jump

  • Chief Justice has been considered a separate slot for nomination purposes as of the late 19th century, so when he retires or croaks, the job will come open. Sometimes the then-president nominates one of the existing justices and backfills, but it's completely possible, as @radix@lemmy.world says, to directly nominate the new person for chief justice; it's actually pretty common to do so.
