Do you need a hug?

Sure. Rep Lieu could for example add his support to those resolutions, perhaps even pressure Leadership to stop whipping votes against them. Or he could lament aimlessly on a niche microblogging site. Anything is possible in this life.

Yes, we all understand that Nothing Can Be Done so best not to try.

Highest I’ve seen is 350kW. But then again that’s not exactly more power than a small town.

Congressman, did you know that if you actually believe this, you can propose a resolution to be voted upon by the House of Representatives (maybe you’ve heard of it) that kicks off a process to remove him from office?

How like HBR to miss the point, though.

Never a more appropriate use for this.

I spent 3 years having to charge my car at EA because I didn’t have a home charger so I developed some all-caps OPINIONS about them. When they work they’re great.

Longtime fans know my strongly positive feelings about RWA and how sad I am for them that it’s gone. This is almost identical to what it was like the year I went (which I think was 2012).

Avon Barksdale never had a storm named after him.

Florida is also a great place to live if you’re running a scam because their laws don’t allow seizure of a primary residence in bankruptcy, so you can store your wealth in your house and keep it that way.

I recall being told that there’s UX data suggesting men get less angry at a female robot voice than a male one.

The total amount of charging power at most Electrify America locations is more than that. That may not be a fair note considering about half of the chargers at any EA location are permanently broken, but even still.

When I saw he had picked Mandelson my immediate thought was “Oh good choice, pick someone who’s just as compromised as Trump, that’ll work well, Trump will like that.” So yes, it was credible at least.

I’ll stick with The University of Washington. Better school, nicer people.

Who cares what I think, but I continue to believe the pro move is for entire tables to just not show up and let the room be empty. Just White House hangers-on and Congressional staffers slowly realizing they’re not going to get laid tonight, all shuffling around an empty room.

So far this skeet has 100 more Likes than the nonsense to which it is a reply. Bluesky continues to have the juice.

I see he chose DC where there’s no anti-SLAPP statute. Well, there’s still Rule 11.

When I’m going to Seahawks games I tend to go stand right beside them and yell directly into their ears, but my wife doesn’t like that when she’s with me. Not a perfect solution because it also doesn’t scale. But I enjoy it.

He doesn’t go away. There are actually a few of them and they’re there every game. When the Mariners made their playoff run last year they got rid of these dorks for a few games and it was very popular, but they are the Westboro Baptists of street dinguses.

Those lawyers are usually small firms.

Additional reason why not: paralegals at BigLaw firms (where you get those salaries) are treated like shit by lawyers who work there.

Note: I live in Seattle. Classico and Rao’s are both available at my nearest Target, or at least they were a couple of years ago when I went there more often (to charge my car). They were about the same price there.
