Economy tickets and hostels also cost money.

My preferred version:

That’s not what she said.

She specifically said that arriving at a ceasefire deal does not change the fact that he started and effectively lost a war for no reason.

The most proper use for a Real Book.

Loose leaf tea, re-steeped several times over the course of the day. The caffeine content goes down with each successive stepping, but good quality whole leaves will still let you get several cups out of them.

I stop making it at 3, which usually gives me enough time to metabolize it and sleep normally.

As far as I’m aware, all 50 states let you bring a “cheat sheet” into the Voting booth. Do your research at home at your own pace, write down your choices for each item, and bring that sheet into the booth with you.

I agree that vote by mail should be universal, but lack of it isn’t an excuse to be uninformed at the polls.

I think his implication is that he’ll veto everything, not just let it desk rot.

I hesitate to ascribe any sense of strategy to the guy, but the presidential veto is one of the most direct exercises of power that he has, and this is a guy who salivates at any opportunity to flex whatever power he can.

The “Don’t talk to me until I’ve had my Clam-o-naise” mug is tempting me.

Yeah, it really is. A plaintext document that generates an entire OS?

There’s a big difference between a $100 sound system and a $1000 sound system. I’ve gotten the “audiophiles are dumb” lecture for suggesting someone upgrade from 2x4" computer speakers to actual studio monitors for working on their music. But their speakers literally could not reproduce some of the frequencies thru were trying to make, so they mixed the bass WAY the fuck too loud.

But yeah, diminishing returns start to kick in around that point. Quickly becomes the eternal story of a Fool and His Money.

Like, fuck Microsoft, but this is just adapting to a world where people regularly have multiple computers on a network. ESPECIALLY business computers, which are the bread and butter of Microsoft’s income.

Finance, there’s a whole lot of arcane statistics underlying risk management.

Tech, the bleeding edge of computer science is really just applied math.

Synology, with QNAP as a close #2. There are other decent options, but they aren’t quite as polished so they may require more “actual computer knowledge” to troubleshoot from time to time.

Don’t kid yourself. Anti-porn lawmakers know that there are like 4 big porn sites and if you can shut down access to those ones, it is a huge step towards their goals.

Well, leftists and our infamous inability to organize without infighting is biting us in that regard.

Dwayne Johnson and Taylor Swift are Democrats in that they’re not actively pushing fascism. They’re still billionaires who are totally divorced from the problems an average working household sees.

Joke’s on you, all computers are autistic.

Acorns are like the easiest thing to forage, though. I agree that foraging isn’t as simple for many people as the OP makes it out to be, but acorns are a bad counter example.

They are high in tannins, which your body is pretty good at processing in reasonable quantities (they’re in tea, coffee, and wine), but many acorns DO have unreasonable quantities of them and they can cause organ damage. Luckily, tannins are water soluble, so you just need to crack them open and soak them in water for a few days, then rinse and they’re safe to eat.

Yes. Though for some reason they tend to be very light on detail and basically just cite vibes.

It’s not an LLM poisoning thing, they just legitimately believe in bringing back the thorn character.

I agree, it’s ineffective and annoying.
