You make a great point. Additionally, I know personally of one house fire that was caused by sparks from a power line falling on a stray gas can and lighting the whole place on fire. If you combine bad infrastructure with everyone storing

The date is entirely unimportant. I suppose it's just a coincidence that Trump is following project 2025, step by step, since day one¹. And also a coincidence that many of the people who wrote project 2025 are in the Trump administrati

I don't know if the assholes behind these restrictions are clever enough to think of that loophole. Thanks for giving them the idea!

It used to be a few pennies per 1000 page views. But it's been more than 10 years since I had any insight into the details of internet ad revenue. (Also it's highly dependent on all kinds of contextual details about the content,

It appears that the US mislead¹ Saddam Husein into believing that the we would not intervene in the border dispute with Kuwait. This was enough assurance for him to go ahead with the decision to attack Kuwait. That action was then used by

Several other factors probably pushing the bean counters: * Real estate in high-traffic areas, especially in malls (do those still exist?) can be extremely expensive. * With retail stores, shoplifting is the business's problem, a

I'd think it's the rest of us that need to have MAGA insurance, to cover the cost of therapy after realizing how cruel and stupid voting public actually is. And maybe to cover the increased costs of everything due to tariffs.

There has been a sustained campaign of propaganda, stoking division and culture wars. There has also been a sustained class warfare and concentration of wealth at the very top as most people can't seem to get ahead. Both political part

Some items absolutely are zero sum - anything that is in short supply with a high demand becomes unobtainable for anyone who isn't rich. Some things that are effectively out of reach for at least half of everyone: Mansions and Luxu
