  • The TI-89 was ~$100 when I bought one 20 years ago. Looked it up on Amazon and they're $100-$150 depending on the specific model. They haven't kept up with inflation at all, which means they've been getting cheaper this whole time...

  • Coconuts 🥥
  • This is nonsense. Coconuts were spread by humans.

    Such an origin indicates that the coconuts were not introduced naturally, such as by sea currents. The researchers concluded that it was brought by early Austronesian sailors to the Americas from at least 2,250 BP, and may be proof of pre-Columbian contact between Austronesian cultures and South American cultures.

  • Trump asks judge to lift limited gag order in his hush money case
  • They're not unaware; this is the game. They make the request knowing it will be denied, it gets denied, right-wing media reports that Trump is being censored (he's not) because it's over (it's not) and they're just trying to punish him more (they aren't). But right wingers don't read any other sources, so it makes sense on the surface and they believe it because it fits the narrative.

  • Live Updates: Trump Lashes Out After Conviction in Misleading Speech
  • Nah, I think it'll just be probation with generous terms. If they put him on house arrest, he'll challenge that saying it's political and it will prevent him from campaigning. It'll be easier to just slap him with a "you have to report your travel plans" and a few hours of community service. He deserves much more, but it'll cost taxpayers tens of millions of dollars and take years if they actually try to punish him. I'll call it a win if we can always refer to him as "convicted felon DT" and let him walk. That will give more ammo for harsher sentences for the federal cases.
