I think that might actually send the US into a debt spiral that would require leaning into printing and inflation. Net interest for FY25 is $933 Billion putting servicing debt as the third largest federal expenditure. Any bailout will either be insignificantly small or will tank the dollar.

I’m not saying you’re wrong, but it would be an incredibly stupid thing to do.

Let them eat Argentinian beef

The zone has been thoroughly flooded.

You could try something like that, then you would have to also pick some fittings to match whatever your dishwasher supply line uses. You would also need another short hose between the filter housing and your dishwasher. I think you could recharge the cartridge by soaking it in salt water occasionally, but otherwise they sell replacement cartridges.

Outrage is only useful if it leads to accountability and consequences for bad action.

Boebert and MTG have a very good sense of what their base likes and dislikes. They may frequently cross lines of decency, but they don’t cross any of their base’s lines. As such, outrage just gives them free publicity and makes them more popular with their people and nudges the perception of norms towards them. These people need to be starved of attention. Don’t feed trolls!

The line connecting any two points on the surface of the earth would take about 42 minutes to transit in free fall, ignoring air resistance and assuming perfectly spherical planet with uniform density.

The useful idiot will only be allowed to be removed when he is seen as no longer being needed. It will be tempting to celebrate that moment, but we will be far from out of danger.

I’ll share my two favorite sources for hurricane info.

Tropical Tidbits for excellent parsing of meteorological data and models without much editorializing and essentially no fear mongering. Excellent videos and website tools for nerding out about the weather side of things.

And NOAA’s National Hurricane Center for up to date guidance on rain, flooding, and wind probabilities and warnings. This coupled with a local emergency services communications is what most people should be using to track what impacts they should expect for upcoming storms.

Billionaires still don’t get that their fear and outrage is a ringing endorsement for someone like Mamdani. Every dollar they spend implies many more dollars available to be collected by the city. Their best strategy would have been utter indifference. I guess now we know who has a terrible poker face.

Sorry to split nuclei, but plutonium is more common than uranium in warheads.

Wow, that’s some amazingly good visibility to be able to clearly see the Charlotte skyline out there.

Yeah, my sciatica gets way worse with no recline. I would almost rather flights stack us in 3 high bunks.

Betteridge’s law cannot be applied to questions that don’t yet have an answer.

Elysium had it backwards. The billionaires don’t want to live in space leaving the workers to live in poverty on the surface. The billionaires want the workers to run space factories while they turn the earth into a big hunting reserve.

Or in my experience, when one of the 4/5 transmitters fails.

Yeah. Who buys a pumpkin for it’s literal value as a food item? There’s canned pumpkin for that. Anything to do with buying a whole pumpkin is all about maintaining an experience and tradition. In that view, pumpkin carving a storebought pumpkin is the base experience, and going to the pumpkin patch is the extended experience. People can choose the level that matches their enthusiasm for fall festivities. Neither purchases are practical, but both can be worthwhile.

I don’t see this as much different as the buying a CD vs concert ticket mockery. Concert tickets are always economically an impractical purchase vs buying a copy. People don’t go to concerts to get a good deal, and there’s just as much crap to deal with as the muddy parking lot and unsocialized animals of a pumpkin patch. People go to concerts for a specific experience that brings them joy and forms memories. Mocking that desire is silly.

And they can be shockingly uninformed about current events that should be relevant to their jobs.

What do you have against owls?
