My grandpa died at 102. Up until the day he died he would consistently say that it was weird being in a body that couldn't do what he wanted it to do. He always said that he was 24 in his head, and that was consistent from the year he

Not having happened. Not a cover up for something else. Just that it didn't happen, but the US was so hard up to beat the Russians at something that they staged it. It's ridiculous. But the world we live in is also ridiculous, and

Duct tape inside out at the top of your socks under your pants does wonders as well. We couldn't find permethrin during COVID, so we did that. It worked mostly. The big bastards didn't get stuck, but they're easy to see. It w

Troubling side effects, from my experience being treated for Lyme with doxy is diarrhea for a while. I'll fucking take that all day long to get rid of Lyme. It sucks out loud. Every one of my joints was killing me. Even the useless lit

How will you treat the wild animal population? Or are you assuming that just treating livestock will solve the problem?

My biggest complaint with NOLA is absolutely the school system. There were too many people taking advantage of the destruction of Katrina post hurricane, and the government was shamelessly complicit in the cash grab. Middle and upper middle

Change font on One letter on one screen. Revert back 60 days later. Wash. Rinse. Repeat. It's a pain in the ass, but to be honest, I've been asked to do worse with my time.

Are you in charge of federal secrets?

And you have hit the nail on the head for how Trump is operating this term. How can he do these things? Turns out they all could've, they just chose not to. Maybe we should strengthen the checks and balances, and Congress shouldn'

Incompetence only applies if you're not running the literal federal government. We have to assume malicious intent. These people could start a nuclear war. They get zero flexibility or grace.

Congress can stop the president. In your words they were the one to give that power to him originally. If they cared, they could stop him. OP's point still stands, I think.

Do we import much food from China? Real question. South America, yes. But China?

Trump is making decisions how Trump has always made decisions; by agreeing with whoever kisses his ass the best and most often >If you live in the US, now is an excellent time to contact your senators and representatives and demand some

There sure are a butt load of 'look at how great China is' posts on here lately. Any thread about tariffs has a large number of these kinds of posts. I want to think it's organic, but the Internet has ruined me. I have to bel

500k for a house makes me realize how low my pay is in a rural area compared to metropolitan areas and how low property is here comparatively as well.

Exactly. The system of checks and balances, like most things apparently, only works if the people doing the things make it work. And they're refusing to do that. Our Congress is complicit in this mess.

I'm kind of lost on why there will be no restock. The price increased, they didn't ban everything. What am I missing?

It's funny you say that, because we talked about literally that. No joke. No, he does not and would not want to work in a shoe factory, but he remembers when he was 16 and his first job was actually in a local shoe factory. He said it

I use this: https://www.bobovr.com/products/s3-pro?variant=4793078051664... It looks goofy but gives you a massive battery, and the fan is nice as well.

I had a conversation with someone who I usually respect, and would say is an intelligent person. He's a trump supporter for the manufacturing support. He said, "It's just not that hard to get these factories back to the state

You joke about these things but I'm afraid that's where we're heading. Trump will close off as much opposition as he can in the next two years. Then spend a year convincing people that term limits aren't required by the

Do European countries use fluoride in their water? While I agree that it's a shit show right now in the US, this article maybe isn't the leading edge of that.

No. No. That no longer applies, and I would argue never applies to a publicly funded entity like the federal government. When you're spending public dollars there is zero difference between incompetence and malice. This administration

What batteries did you get? We have solar and wind, but storage is a real problem.

Economy of scale maybe? You can get better prices at scale purchases? Otherwise you're correct and it doesn't make a bit of sense.

I never thought there was something wrong with me, maybe that's the difference. I communicate extremely clearly. Most people do not. They say half of what they want, or ignore half of what they read/hear. It's very odd. Life

The quote that really has stuck with me was also from Pratchett: "What can the harvest hope for, if not for the care of the reaper man?" This caught me in two ways: 1. Death is the release. Whatever suffering you're undergoin

There is a very, very appreciable difference between moving hot steam around and moving electricity around. The thing you said doesn't really make sense to me; I'm not sure it's an apt analogy.
