TIL: People apparently say "fresh Js" when showing off new Jordans on social media. I found this out while trying to ID malware that uses fresh.js to download the payload...

Today I learned two things.
1. Quickjack is running a sale, $300 off on the 5000lbs lift on Home Depot.
2. Home Depot app still thinks Im in the military, so they applied a 10% discount.

Guess who just got a Quickjack for a little over $1000 vs $1600 MSRP.

Today I Learned that During WWII a US Destroyer (William D. Porter) almost torpedoed the USS Iowa with Franklin Roosevelt onboard in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.

Listening to the book The Nazi Conspiracy by Brad Meltzer. The primary subject is the Nazi plan to assassinate the Big Three leaders during their Big Three Summit in 1943. Roosevelt was on his way to the Summit when the Iowa battle group (he was traveling on the Iowa) put on a display of firepower for the dignitaries on-board ship.

More details here.

I can't believe with all the literature and documentaries I've consumed on WWII over the years I had never heard this story before.

Apparently Americans are going to have to blow on our cars to make them run starting in MY 2026? Brought to you by people who don't drive themselves anywhere...
