This Reddit post from 2018 appears to be the same sign from a different angle
The issue isn't storing each individual ID, it's all of the networking operations that are done and total things that are stored/cached per user in each chat. All of those things are handled and stored as efficiently as possible. Sure they could set it to any number, but 256 is a nice round one when considering everything that is happening and the use cases involved. They have user research data and probably see that 128 is too close to a group size that happens with some regularity, but group sizes very rarely get close to 256, and 512 is right out.
Not sure how regional it is, but in Southern California, I've heard cajón mean both box and drawer. It might be a specific type of box? Like a wooden box made out of pallet wood.
Thank you for confirming that I'm not tripping
I'm really amused by how these were seen 100 years before ViewMaster.
Thank you! Do you know what law she's referring to them breaking? Her forceful delivery seems to imply something less mundane than flag code.
These are HSI (Homeland Security Investigation) agents from an ICE raid in San Diego on Friday: https://www.cbs8.com/article/news/local/community-leaders-federal-immigration-agents-raid-san-diego-restaurants/509-70ac20ee-ba70-4a42-beff-580ebb037426
They didn’t make “back” money, they’re just making money. His friends are the ones telling him to say insane shit that drives the market (or specific targeted stocks like Apple) down, then they buy while it’s low. After a few days/weeks, he changes his mind/can’t enforce his nonsense and the stock goes back up, his friends sell and have nothing but profit. The majority of the shit he does is market manipulation to benefit himself and anyone riding his coattails.
But there IS a new Rayman game coming. I think this is an old meme from before Crash 5 got cancelled?

Cornell, who has led the Minneapolis-based retail chain since 2014, received $9.9 million in total compensation for 2024, an 87% drop from his 2020 peak of $77.5 million.
What the actual fuck? Why are humans being paid $10m A YEAR, let alone over $75m?!
Which one? There have been a few duds, but this is my favorite:
This makes more sense than my interpretation. I thought it was saying we survived the end times and Jesus was returning as his second coming.
Current evidence suggests we’re only at the beginning of Armageddon.
The tax system is so complicated, most people can’t handle navigating it on their own. Most people have jobs where taxes are automatically removed from pay checks and sent to both state and federal tax agencies. However, that amount is just an estimate and once a year (or quarter) you need to file paperwork to confirm whether you over or underpaid and then you either get a rebate (without interest), or you’ll need to send in a payment to make up the difference. That paperwork has been lobbied to remain as complicated as possible so that companies like Intuit can provide services that tax payers find useful and continue to pay for. This is more complicated for business owners, both big and small.
We could probably do with some slow to the exponential population growth. The problem (as foretold by Mike Judge) is that doubling population of non-kid havers are the ones that are thoughtfully considering their futures. Meaning the pool of intelligent, responsible people that are having kids is getting smaller.
Nobody likes voting for the “lesser of two evils.” Casting a vote in favor of someone who is diametrically opposed to your viewpoint(s) absolutely sucks. The shitty reality is that we aren’t going to change the electoral process in the next two months.
If you don’t see either major candidate as a champion that you can support, it seems more beneficial to see it as selecting your enemy for the next four years. I would rather fight against someone that I have a chance of changing. At minimum I would rather protest against someone that I think has a lower chance of authorizing lethal force against a march that I attend.
Voting for a 3rd presidential candidate (or not voting at all), is letting someone else make that decision for you.
That said, we have got to get out of this constant cycle of only having two options. There’s too much money at a national level to start there. We’ve got to start local and get third party candidates into offices at a city level, then state, then national. It’s going to take a long time and it should have happened so very long ago. We can’t change the past, we can only change the future. The only time to start changing the future is in the present.
