Dude should resign. He’s been ruining Target for years. The stores look like a dollar store now. Clutter everywhere. Restocking in the middle of the day. Cheap Chinese crap on the shelves. Idiot.
Kohl’s CEO fired after making ‘highly unusual’ business deals with his romantic partner, report says
Why would Kohls hire the ex-CEO of Bed Bath and Beyond to begin with? So he could drive Kohls out of business too?
Still waiting for these to make an appearance on SNW. I’m hoping it’s some “efficiency upgrade” installed by Starfleet that the crew ends up hating.
I’ll believe it when I see it. The Walmart here had perfectly good chargers in their parking lot that they ripped out last year.
Americans elected Trump twice. We never learn our lessons.
That’s what I thought too, but if you google it, w sound is classified as “open mouth” sound by the experts. To me it feels like lips vibrating as sound and breath come through (lips open/close/open as they vibrate).
Yes, but who feels like exercising when you’re on chemo?
Next week, FBI begins consulting ouija boards.
Electric vehicles can charge from a standard outlet. I would imagine if you gather enough of those panels that actually plug into a standard outlet, you could charge a car (though slowly). Your average EV can put on about 10 miles to its “tank” every hour of charging at 120 volts. I don’t know what the amps of those panels are though.
The alternative would be if the protagonist found a home with solar panels and backup batteries. These exist today, and are becoming more common. I don’t know if sodium ion backup batteries have a longer life than LFP or lithium ion.
Is there a conservative versus liberal heat map of Canada? I’d like to see if there’s connectivity with the US version at the borders.
Clever use of the technology. I wonder if any other businesses are looking into this?
I think modern apocalypse movies should show someone grabbing solar panels off apartment balconies to recharge an abandoned electric car.
That is one huge hood/bonnet. Makes me wonder how it looks under there. I bet it’s a lot more serviceable than today’s automobiles. Probably enough room to step inside.
There might be a slew of still salvageable parts I would think. I guess the question is how salvageable, how complicated to recover, and how much those parts would be worth.
Why is the daily fail in the Uk running a story about public education in New Mexico?
This number isn’t that big when compared to the overall industry. CBS is averaging about 5 million viewers per night. In the 1970s when there was just broadcast, their average viewership was almost 30 million per night.
Netflix averages double of current CBS viewership of one program in just four days. I do wonder what the numbers are for catch-up views of cbs/paramount streaming. I doubt it’s enough to catch up to Netflix but I could be wrong.

Another example - the hit “Adolescence” got over 17 million views in a week (and 114 million for the month for just this program).

Latest plex for iOS
Oooowhhheeee. What absolute turd of an update. Who decided throwing a gagillion movie posters and buttons randomly on a screen was an “improvement”? Yikes.
Request for more toolbar breathing room
Am I the only one that hits the story link when trying to tap reply or bookmark buttons? Feels like it could use a couple more blank horizontal pixel rows between the content and the toolbar.
Warning - lake algae is back
Scientists with Austin’s Watershed Protection Department have spotted clumps of blue-green algae near Red Bud Isle on Lady Bird Lake. This year marks one of the earliest seasonal reports of the algae, also known as cyanobacteria, which can be toxic…
Cornyn ads?
Why is Cornyn running these ridiculous border security ads on YouTube? Midterm elections aren’t until November 2026.
Green leaf icon
How do I turn off the green leaf icon?
Dirty Cash (Money Talks) 1989
Great song, later remixed in the 2000s and still great.
1970s cardboard Puzzletown
Anyone else have the Richard Scarry Puzzletown set as a kid? I loved that thing. It was kind of like a cardboard Duplo set in that you could rearrange the town however you liked.
Tesla no longer taking Cybertruck trade-ins
Tesla can't find buyers for the current backlog of nearly 2,400, or $200 million worth of Cybertrucks, despite claiming over a million orders were received.
Texas electric grid’s loan fund for natural gas plants is failing, just as executives warned
Interesting article about all the crappy energy legislation being pushed and passed in Texas.
Head of Animal Services let go
The city announced last week that Chief Animal Services Officer Don Bland will retire, effective May 9, following his placement on administrative leave in early March. Bland, the director of the Austin Animal Center since 2019, was placed on administrative…
Anyone heard anymore about opening satellite animal shelters around the city? This sounded like a great idea when it was proposed by city council, but I haven’t read anything about it since. Maybe it’s part of the “strategic plan” mentioned in the article.
Goodbye Capitol view corridors?
The University of Texas at Austin and MD Anderson Cancer Center plan to build two new hospital towers in the downtown Innovation District.
Looks like TX Lege is chipping away at height and view restrictions so UT can build baby build.
“50 billion” to bury power lines
This has to be the biggest batch of bullshit excuses I have ever heard. Gas, water, and sewer are all buried, but somehow burying electrical is “impossible”.
ENT: “Cogenitor” is an f’d up episode
(Spoilers) What is up with the captain blaming Tripp for someone’s suicide?He made someone happy, then they went back to their shitty life and killed themselves — and that’s Tripo’s fault? Maybe the captain should have given the character asylum and then they wouldn’t have committed suicide, but instead he throws a hissy fit and blames Tripp. What a bizarre coda to an otherwise interesting episode.
Expect to see less bluebonnets this year
It’s a quintessential Texas experience to get your photo taken in a field of bluebonnets. “I have lots of pictures,” said Matthew Gaston, who used to work as director of education for the Zilker Botanical Garden. “It’s this bluish hue…
Due to drought.
Warp field debris question
In ENT episode “Divergence” parts go flying off the ship during warp 5. What would happen to something at that speed without the protection of the field? Would it stay in high speed motion until interacted upon by something else (meteoroids/dust/gravitational fields)? Or would it disintegrate under this kind of speed?
What are your Star Trek nit-picks?
What immediately bugs you when watching an episode? Mine is when they transport someone sitting down and they reintegrate in a standing position (or vice versa). Sure, the tech is near magical but my suspension of disbelief pretty much snaps when they do this.
ENT: who were the sphere aliens?
And why do they look suspiciously like the shapeshifters from DS9?
Are they ever revisited/explained?
What ever happened to the creepy people from TNG “Conspiracy”?
Recently watched a YouTube video where they mentioned the grub-eating Starfleet creeps with the exploding heads were supposed to be the precursor to the Borg invasion. But then the producers changed it up and decided the Borg would be the cube-riding mechanoids we’ve all come to know and love, instead of worm people.
I’m wondering if Trek ever fleshed out the conspiracy storyline on another show? Seems like a lot of potential wasted.
Surprisingly, not all TX churches want school vouchers
When it comes to school vouchers, Texan Rev. Charles Johnson said he's concerned about religious liberty, fiscal responsibility and the rise of Christian nationalism.
CapMetro payment system debacle
For months, Capital Metro passengers knew something wasn’t right. The QR code scanners they used to pay fares with phones were unreliable, sometimes not working at all. Riders would often board without paying, flagged on by the driver to keep…
Thought this was interesting. You’d think fare payments would be a solved problem, but somehow Siemens managed to screw it up.
