Sometimes it rolls down the hill and into the fence around the pig pens.

Or being told to resign, which is "socially acceptable", or get fired.

Heck, standardized tests for 5th graders should do.

It's roughly what I got, and I wasn't going past the decimal point.

Does RFKjr know?

My debt number is a whole lot better than his.

Donny got in there after two years faking being a Rutgers student, and only got in because someone knew his brother. He was an undergrad, anyway - real estate, I think.

Already had a Costco membership, and moved my scripts because the local drugstore's tracking was failing at its job. (Also the insurance preferred it.)

We get the same answer....

My arithmetic says it's about a 98.6% reduction. But I actually passed math, right up to Diff.Eq. (which my brain doesn't get, because Not Enough Pictures.)

I think that's covered by "evil"

I keep reminding myself that Donny stopped learning at age seven - his own claim. So he really doesn't know anything. (It's about a 98% reduction.)

Whelp, the amazing Prof. @hilarybeckertxny.bsky.social sent this over, as made by her art historian friend Susanna McFadden—and now I cant unsee Hegseth as Caracalla. www.metmuseum.org/art/collecti...

If a government wants to require ID to vote, they should have to provide that ID. For free. Because it was their choice.

Musk and Thiel can give them that funding out of pocket change.

They flunked US history, didn't they? (My family tree includes Quakers and Seventh-Day Baptists - tell me about "establishment of religion".)

I got that one in the Medicare "newsletter" (that I didn't sign up for and promptly unsubscribed from). I don't need a doc out of his field giving me advice - I have a PCP for advice (and regular visits and tests).

Watching an auroral corona develop right overhead is one of the most spectacular things you can see

This is my surprised face

I've heard that the hardest part of becoming an engineer is learning when to say ":that's good enough - ship it". (Same for programmers - there's always the temptation to add some neat thing that isn't necessary.)

My father, relaxing:

This is why I don't get ebooks from the Large South American River.

I still get software on disk/thumbdrive. It doesn't update too often, but it's usually because Big Genealogy has changed an interface API. Again.

Every time I go to Kobo, where I'm normally logged in, I have to click on that. Every. Single. Time.

I rarely even take my phone with me.

I'm 75. I was building calculator displays in 1972-73, when a 5-function calculator would run you three digits left of the decimal. Bought an HP45 in 1975, with my father's help. ($400!). First PC in 1988.

Indiana and Ohio are gerrymandered as fck, too.

Golden tongues - were these top-rank entertainers? Doing Homer and others for the wealthy?

My back-bench D congresscritter. He and his predecessor are both in that complacent-and-in-safe-seats category. For a while I had Waxman - not complacent!
