Where the rule in the 196? That’s the real law of physics that was broken

They’ll invent a term “resident non-citizen” and they’ll divvy up the country as franchises to the highest bidder.

Simpson’s Skinner meme, “no, it’s the voters that are wrong”

Data without context is meaningless.

26% of adult Gen Zers owned a home in 2023, little changed from 2022. Meanwhile, the homeownership rate for millennials rose to 55% from 52%, and the rate for Gen X climbed to 72% from 70%.
Still, most adult Gen Zers are tracking ahead of where their parents were at the same age. That’s likely because many Gen Z homeowners were able to buy when rates were near record lows.

Thanks, I discarded my sarcasm detector in early 2017

It just presents data without going into detail. You’re making unsupported assumptions.

If the constant load shouldn’t count against the transaction, how should it be tallied?

If that were true, we wouldn’t need to guess. We could just look at the data showing that new plants provide cheaper electricity.

People are desperate and Trump is unpredictable. They ‘know’ the Dems aren’t helping them, so Trump might accidentally do it!

Are you telling me the system is so rigged, that they’ll get themselves absolved for any past wrongdoing at the cost of sending everyone checks for $6.72?

These class action lawsuits are modern day indulgences, change my mind.

Really though, I just went through a rabbit hole of confirming a single BTC transaction uses more than 700 KWH, that’s 3 months electricity to me!

They’ll strike a deal with some other country to take them. Then issue contracts for private chartered flights at $10k/person, given to their best buddies.

They couldn’t get it right before enshittification has gripped everything.

The companies involved, the industry, and the regulators currently can’t be trusted; this project should be killed.

The word from NCD, is that Zelensky wasn’t bluffing about the nukes. He doesn’t think Putin can radiologicaly retaliate after his generals looted the maintenance budget.

Israel has been taking part in a technology transfer. Any escalation in Eastern Europe takes eyes away from what’s going on in the Levant.

Iodine pills all around!

As a treat

It’s all politically motivated judges who try to appear above the fray, but they’re not. It’s an inherently political position as a judge and we’d be better off seeing things how they are.

My moment was looking back to how the federal government passed a law to strip highway funding if states didn’t raise their drinking age to 21. The same logic was used to force states to expand the ACA in each state, where other federal medical funding would be cut if states didn’t take advantage of the ACA in their state. Ooopsies, as we know now, Republican judges struck that down and we have a half-baked medical solution. It’s still better than before though, albeit hobbled.

Balista gang?

I use AliExpress for all the little items in my life that can fail without any real problem.

I need a comb and get 2/$1 to my door. $3/4/5 each in a physical store for the same. I don’t think you’re appreciating how often these are literally the same products.

The retail sector has long ago entered enshittification. I’m not blind to the real people working in the field, but paying more for a product does not increase the chance of any positive environmental or social outcome. Feeding the beast, feeds their investors.

There is no ethical consumption.

“Quad cities” bordering Illinois and Iowa.

It worked four years ago.
