You can 100% get a clearance if you’ve smoked within 7 years of applying for one. Hell, you can get a clearance if you smoked within the last year. You just have to a) disclose the fact, b) be able to show mitigations as to why smoking weed won’t be an issue while you have a clearance, and then c) not do it while you have a clearance. It ends up being not so much about the fact that you smoke weed as it is that you’re not following the law, and that’s the real clearance risk (from their POV). Getting a clearance is really about proving you’re trustworthy to the investigator.

Basing ads on user interests via generative AI is how you end up with porn ads for everyday products. This’ll be hilarious

Sounds like the consequences of Russia’s actions are catching up to it. You can’t just violently ignore your neighbors borders and expect them to respect yours.

FWIW, one of the best parts of the Foosball Table set (21337) is the shear number of wigs and faces it comes with so you can totally customize your players. It comes with 22 “generic Danish interlocking children’s building set” men and 44 unique wigs/heads. It’s pretty cool imo

New hire orientation for a USN Shipyard

There is a recording of when the boat hit crush depth, but I guess it is not publicly available.

The audio from that is absolutely haunting to hear.

I think it’s intended as a tongue-in-cheek comment about phones already tracking you, and the OEMs selling that data.

Also they’re completely ignoring the immense personal safety benefits that come with knowing if, say, an abusive ex has slipped an airtag into your car somewhere. This is actually a responsible move for once (assuming it works as intended) because it addresses an unintended but dangerous use for the product, and attempts to prevent it rather than just killing a useful product.

I think it’s also possible to push the old style plows. It just really, really sucks

Nah donate a fresh batch of swim caps with the painting printed on them

I know they’re not new; that’s just what they’re classified as on Wikipedia. It is “new” compared to Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Buddhism, etc. The distinction is that the Unification Church came about within the last 75 years, and so is not one of the “old” religious movements.

Shinzo Abe was assassinated over his ties to/support of a New religious movement in Japan. Put your tinfoil hat back on and go to your room
