Wasn’t it Obama making fun of trump at the WH Correspondent’s dinner? Thanks, Obama. /s

It’s still good for the House Dems to be doing this, though, calling attention to the problem so more people will call their Dem senators demanding that they take action as well.

I’ll check and see if I can do that with this one!

I should have thought of that. Thanks! Ironically, I have a very old lead-acid UPS in the basement that I’ve been kind of afraid to plug in again after all this time.

Why removing the battery? I was thinking that could be one good thing about using a laptop is that in a way it has its own UPS.

Good question. I’ve been drinking Earl Grey for so long I don’t remember which came first, that or STTNG. It’s possible I first tried it because of the show.

Everything he says, he’s serious about. Annexing Canada, Greenland, Panama canal, tariffs, not leaving office (currently floated as running for another term after this one), getting revenge on all his enemies, etc etc. All of it. How much of it he can actually do is however much he isn’t stopped from doing.

Would he order use of force? I don’t know. But the question isn’t whether Hegseth would go along with it–of course he would. The question is how many American troops would follow the orders. IMO many or most would refuse. They (and the US populace) would view using military force against Canada in the same way they would view using military force against American citizens (which I would not be surprised to be ordered at some point). Other than a few hardcore magats, I believe we would never go along with a war against our Canadian cousins.

1500’s? The measles vaccine was first developed in 1963. The MMR vaccine came out in 1971.

Unless you are literally running around with an epi pen because miniscule amounts of allergens could kill you you really don’t need to worry about those.

Only someone who has never had a serious allergic reaction to anything would be so dismissive. Why do you think that is required to be on the label? Exactly because they can’t rule out cross contamination.

Would you even fall “down” at all, if it’s at the edge of space? Wouldn’t gravity cause you to just continue walking down the edge like it’s another surface–how “thick” do they say the flat earth is? Have they ever described what the edge is supposed to be like and why no one has found it yet? Or do they maybe say there isn’t an edge, but then what do they claim the earth’s shape is supposed to be beyond the 2-D term “flat”?

I’ve seen a few “debunking” videos refuting some claim or another but I’ve never seen either the flat earthers or the debunkers address some of the most obvious questions about it. Usually they just demonstrate the curvature of the earth or something.

My car armrest has physical buttons (edit: I guess you’d call them “rocker switches”) that I can push forward or backward to raise/lower the windows. It would be absolutely ridiculous to make me navigate a menu on a touchscreen to do that–please tell me newer cars aren’t doing that?

The clowns are scary and the tent is on fire

You misspelled Tesla.

reclaim and sell

I doubt the same people who are capable of setting one on fire and running away have the criminal contacts to be capable of getting into the car fencing business.

It’s been a long time since I looked but I hope most cars still have physical buttons/controls for all important functions! Besides being easier and faster to use, without them if a touchscreen malfunctions (hardware or software) everything is gone and you wouldn’t be able to drive the car. Then there’s the tracking and spying, and sometimes bugs and UI changes after updates–and now ads!?# Cars are becoming as enshittified like everything else now.

They like the stock market going down, since it’ll eventually go back up and meanwhile they still have billions available to buy up a lot more stock on the cheap while it’s down.

Good point unless they only had the ability to access a particular one, some code or something.

Looking at the videos and reports, first the dumpsters I mean trucks were not actually that close to the fence where they could be reached through it or have something thrown through it to reach them. The fence is heavy duty dense chain link and wasn’t tampered with. A witness who saw the fire start said no one was nearby, first it started sparking then burst into flames. So unless someone did it via software or some other clever way, I’m assuming this was a spontaneous battery combustion that spread to nearby vehicles.

I thought it was hilarious that right after trump criticized Zelenskyy for not wearing a suit and everyone then making fun of trump for letting Elon wear a t-shirt, Elon is now wearing a suit and tie.

Offered to? Shouldn’t he just go ahead and do it?
