Today I’m thankful for having a 25 year old washing machine I can easily replace the hot and cold water control valve with filters that clog up every 3-4 years. The part is less than $10. This morning it took two hours to fill — not anymore!
The last 5-10 years we’ve been getting more sand/grit in our water. The well appears to be working well. There’s probably some kind of larger capacity sand trap I could add where the well water comes in to the pressure tank.

Marco Rubio just posted on Twitter:
The European Commission’s $140 million fine isn’t just an attack on X, it’s an attack on all American tech platforms and the American people by foreign governments. The days of censoring Americans online are over.
He did so after a few US companies got fined in EU for violation of laws regarding privacy and not only moderation of posts, but also the opposite - arbitrary deletion of legitimate content and refusal to restore it.
Seems like the secretary of state just discovered that if an US company wants to earn money in another country, that comes bundled with following its laws! Can you imagine?
For comparison, if an EU company wants to do business in US, it has to follow not only US federal laws, but also state laws and county (!) laws. Americans in EU have it much easier, because they enjoy laws that are largely harmonised among member states rather than the US mess of incompatible state laws and variable sales tax rates between counties.

The outcome would eliminate jobs, push down wages, worsen conditions for all entertainment workers, raise prices for consumers, and reduce the volume and diversity of content for all viewers." -- Writers Guild of America West & East on the acquisition of Warner Bros. by Netflix. #1u

This is a fucking nightmare and right now I am very, very angry with the people who put Trump back in office. More and more kids are going to die from preventable diseases. As I have said for months, RFK Jr. has more power to singlehandedly kill more Americans than any other cabinet secretary.

Linus Tech Tips: There was a recent thing from a major tech company where developers were asked to say how many lines of code they wrote, and if it wasn’t enough, they were terminated. And there was someone here who was extremely upset about that approach to measuring productivity because it means nothing.
Linus Torvalds: Oh yeah, no, you shouldn’t even be upset at that point. That’s just incompetence. Anybody who thinks that’s a valid metric is too stupid to work at a tech company.
LTT: You do know who you just said that about, right?
Linus Torvalds: No.
LTT: Oh. Uh… he was a prominent figure in the improved efficiency of the U.S. Government recently.
Linus Torvalds: Oh, apparently I was spot-on.
