ESTA isn’t impacted yet by this as it currently only applies to non-immigrant visas. However the “Big Beautiful Bill Act” sets inflation tracked annual increases starting 2026, and the base price is set to raise to $40 sometime this year (I’m not totally sure on when).

Many years ago my station of choice when driving to work started running an advert for car safety. The sound effect was a loud blaring car horn and the sounds of screaming tires and a crash. The first, second, third time I heard it was instant jolt of panic and left me jittery. I switched stations after the third time.

Agreed; Tony has a problem. Tony gets angry. Tony solves problem by killing/having killed said person responsible for the problem was very much the dominant and highly repetitive story line. There was some nuance, sure, but not enough for my liking.

How have you been making those models? I have a 4070 and doing it locally has been a dependency hellscape, I’ve been tempted to rent cloud GPU time just to save the hassle.

  • pay online fee: $2.50
  • Paper bill/pay by check fee: $5.00.

I made the numbers up as I don’t recall them offhand but my energy company effectively has this policy now. :/

At a guess, the number being needed to pass the validation? Though the strong tag does give it a better dad-joke vibe.

Don’t want to assume where you live, I found several available as a poster/print by searching “Milky Way Galaxy Map Poster”

(“google it” is often a scornful response, please know that is not my intention here.)

Reminds me of “The Cube Rule”, which argues that a hot dog is a taco!

(Sincere) are you implying that these pictures are the elite/upper class and the counter narrative is more the norm of the time?

Edit: nvm, other comments in the feed seem to add further context.

Seems like significant weather events, but who the fuck can tell really.

But that first purge feels so healthy though!
