Yeah Rs can write a law saying that in 2028 each district will get three members and I bet Dems would help pass it in both chambers
Pretty much kicks gerrymandering in the junk and also helps with the ”successful primary candidates do not look like successful general candidates“ problem
RETVRN
And considering the era, to be notably worse on reliability was quite the accomplishment
Mac Messages keeps asking me to update my wife's contact photo with her current contact photo and it doesn't matter what I respond, it'll just ask again, it's great
You guys. A goose is nesting under the Spoon Bridge and Cherry. This is our Romulus and Remus moment. We already became ungovernable. Now we become myth. #Minneapolis.
I still have a 2015 MBP and it was one of the greats, but it has not been my daily driver for several years. If you get any of the modern-chip Macs (a deal on an M1, a Neo, an Air) you will be amazed
On the other hand, it burns through tokens fast enough that it can’t make that many mistakes in a session
My god can you imagine what would be possible if someday they manage to mount a gun directly onto an airplane
While this article is correct in saying there’s not a ton of mass pesticide use in urban environments, there is plenty of sweet garbage (spilled soda, etc) that bees will happily put into honey

Alternate ending #2: Ariel reaches the surface and dies of decompression sickness
Little Mermaid alternate ending: Ariel gets feet, drowns while on the way to the surface
We took one too; new sales for us went to zero and we had a lot of clients ask for discounts. Did it _save_ us? Probably not; we're pretty resilient. It sure did help us a lot though.
And what, were we going to risk going to Federal prison for a few months' revenue?
HELL no
If I were a dictator of a small-to-moderate-sized country without access to a Strait of Hormuz, I would probably be looking at how Kim Jung Un is doing these days as compared to Hussein and Gaddafi and thinking _real hard_ about the importance of deterrence in dealing with the US
To be fair, Trump is next-level unreliable, but we got pretty good assists from GWB and Obama
Iraq: Agreed to disarm, we double-crossed
Libya: Agreed to disarm, we double-crossed
Iran: Agreed to disarm, we double-crossed
Post-2000, we have... not been very trustworthy
Update: I am and you are right; it is quite good. I don’t know when it’s going to get to some things (when will it have me enter my partnership basis?) but I am keeping the faith
Hmmmm I stuck with TurboTax out of vague paranoia but now I am wondering if I should do my taxes A SECOND TIME
sigh
Also, Beard Guy's hat appears to say PETUNIA
We can do this. This November, and again in November '28.
ORBÁN CONCEDED
This was for a phone that had been discontinued for well over a year!
I expected I'd have to mail them my phone and wait for service and get my dinged-up frame back, but nope! Factory-new-quality device in two calendar days.
Genuinely excellent service.
The long service lifetime is absolutely a thing. I still have AppleCare on my 13 Mini. A year ago, I was going to take a trip, and my battery was at ~75% life and my screen was cracked a little. Contacted Apple support and they 2-day mailed me a new (refurb? I dunno) phone and I sent mine back
It is genuinely interesting to me that really talented Presidential candidates are so rare. In my lifetime... I think maybe Reagan, Clinton, and Obama?
It's always been amazing to me that folk like Dukakis, GWB, Kerry, and HRC got top billing. Decent, smart people. Terrible candidates.
I think America *would* elect a gay President but I would put substantial money down on it not being Buttigeig
I think we'd elect a woman, but Clinton and Harris were going to be long shots against anyone
I think we'd elect a Mormon, but Romney was... not a generational talent
Or... what if it's a British-flagged LNG carrier? Are we actually going to interdict a ship flying under the flag of a NATO ally?
Ladies and gentlemen, let me present the Senator from the Great State of Wisconsin
This.
If you want to build faith in institutions, living in an environment where you have to continually avoid being scammed sure makes that harder.
I genuinely think that leads to the perception of Trump that “everyone’s as shitty as he is; he’s just honest about it“
I mean maybe Vance would do the same lol
I do wonder if all the folk who have “come within 200 feet” are looking at that weird shit on his hand and those trips to Walter Reed and starting to sweat a bit
