Donald Trump’s bible racket tells you everything you need to know about Trump:
They cost Trump $3 each; he sells them for $60.
These “God Bless the USA” bibles are made in China.
They contain the Constitution, BUT, without the amendments that abolish slavery, provide equal protection under the law, establish the right to vote regardless of race, establish women’s right to vote and presidential term limits.

Huawei is starting to look unstoppable
US sanctions and political efforts have failed to kill Huawei, which now looks in much better health than its main western rivals.Iain Morris (Light Reading)
the article starts with this paragraph ☞
In a scene from the The Rings of Power, Amazon's lavish but somewhat unloved Lord of the Rings prequel, a mob of sword-wielding, scaly-faced orcs go at Sauron like a table of famished diners at a bloody steak. Seemingly vanquished, the wannabe Dark Lord pulls off a disappearing trick only to return as a misshapen tangle of black fibers, gorging on vermin and eventually people until he is rebuilt in human form, albeit unrecognizable.

Another fun fungi fact: these babies are edible, but mostly tasteless and too gummy. Thank you for coming to my lecture.

The FCC's "punishment" of T-Mobile for its atrociously poor security practices -- constantly exposing user data to criminals -- is a wrist-slap at most.
The fine is a big number to you and me. For a giant corporation it's a rounding error of a rounding error. Deterrent? Come on.
Better than nothing, I guess. But not much better.

Uh
There is a… project? startup? whatever from Harvard that invented an enzyme which converts sugar into fiber once it’s in your stomach.
Like, it turns sugar into fiber y’all: wyss.harvard.edu/technology/su…
I learned about it since a probiotic company I already use just launched a sugar-to-fiber supplement. This is so wild: zbiotics.com/pages/how-sugar-t…
fascinating, though
> Sugar-to-Fiber is unlikely to break down enough sugar to impact things like caloric intake, blood sugar, or weight.

Basically the only positiv thing he had to say was that it »opens nicely« and lies flat. 😅
And we get a look at the end: Constitution + Bill of Rights, i.e. up to amendment 10.
And they know nothing about typesetting. They demonstrate why you don’t do roman numerlas with a blackletter typeface. Their »III« definitely looks like eye-eye-eye.

in reply to emeritrix • • •@anarchademic That stood out to me too. Here’s an article mentioning it: meidasnews.com/news/amendment-…
but it sounds like they base that on viewing youtube videos about it, so it’s not rigorously sourced.

I can’t help but hear “these god bless the USA bibles are made in china” in the Project Farm voice.
This is Merlin’s fault.
