We have a specific amendment that the right likes to shove in our faces as being designed to prevent tyranny.
It's a goddamn shame we won't use it.

It's still valid today.
Payroll fucked up and I didn't get a deposit a few weeks back. They gave me the choice of waiting 2 weeks and having the deposit added to my next paycheck, which is totally undoable, or they would cut me a paper check that day.
I took the paper check.
I decided it would be easiest if I could use my Bank apps Mobile deposit but it only allowed me to access $500 of it that day, the rest had to wait until the next business day which was Monday.
If I would have thought about it I would have done it this way so I could have had access to the whole check before the weekend.

When they eventually deorbit the space station they'll need a way to close and lock the door from the outside when everyone else is out.
Yes, they won't need an atmosphere if there are no people on board but undocking the station side hatch open would cause it to vent the atmosphere and anything not tied down. This could cause the station to spin uncontrollably and potentially do damage to the return craft with the crew on board.
So there must be some sort of way to manipulate the lock from the outside on at least one of the docking ports.
This would also be necessary in an event where they needed to evacuate the station.

He doesn't, 0.08 for normal drivers, 0.04 for pilots/CDL drivers.
In my state it's OVI (Operating Vehicle Impaired) and you can get one on a bicycle, canoe, or horse. it doesn't even have to have a motor.

Some of it probably is, most of the bright spots are probably flakes of hot tiles and molten stainless coming inside the bay from holes burnt between the flaps and fuselage (really bright patches on the sides)

True, but the masses that vote for them do.
No voters = no power

The article is three short paragraphs and has the answer at the bottom.
If people cannot be bothered to read beyond headlines we are truly fucked.

Good news!
Covid had a peak mortality rate of about 3%
Bird Flu has a mortality rate of about 56%
And most cases at the moment come from unpasteurized milk, which his buddy RFK jr promotes to Fox News fans (MAGA idiots).
If it stays the way it is with no person-to-person transmission they'll thin themselves out pretty quickly.

Without an atmosphere, how can you have smog and smoke?

Commercial and mining activities on the moon are infinitely better than anywhere on Earth.
There's no life on the Moon, there's no environments to be destroyed, species to be displaced, no atmosphere or oceans to pollute, etc.
If we're going to insist on continued industrialization it would be best to put it somewhere it's not poisoning the environment, like the moon.

My girlfriend jumped my ass a few days ago because I did all the chores.
I get home a few hours before she does and she's been stressed about work and the long drive so I've been doing all the chores and getting dinner ready. I figured she'd be able to relax instead of being strung like a bow and since I have about 3 hours of time before she got home that we'd be able to spend more time together too.
Turns out I'm making her feel like she doesn't contribute enough by doing all the chores and she needs to feel like she accomplished something when she gets home.
So, I got blamed for making her look lazy when my intent was just to give her time to chill.

 
 

Corporate culture is based on constant growth and ever increasing profit margins. Eventually they'll amass so much of the wealth that most of the lower class won't be able to purchase anything other than essentials like food.
No new cars, no tech gadgets, no fancy dinners, no vacations, no disposable income.
When we get there the economy collapses because there's no money going into it.
The profits stop rolling in, unnecessary goods stop being produced, and the luxury goods producer's shut down.
At this point the money they worked so hard to hoard becomes worthless because they can't buy anything with it.
What's the endgame for them if their current path takes them to a point where their assets are more or less worthless?

Long pressing on a comment has always collapsed it unless you were replying to the comment, then you could long press to highlight a string of text to quote for a reply.
Now, long pressing closes the parent in reply mode and there is no way to highlight text to copy for quoting purposes.

Every self-respecting Democrat or leftist who cares about themselves or their family should own a firearm and know how to properly and safely use it.
We're entering a time where it may be critical that you need to defend yourself. It is not out of the realm of possibility that you or your family may be targeted in the not distant future for your political leanings.
We all know that the Republicans have guns because they never shut the fuck up about them, and we also know that in their wildest wet dreams Trump will let them run the streets gunning down anyone who is isn't white or anyone who voted Democrat.
They have guns, they know how to use them, how are you going to defend yourself when they come for you?

 

I get it, Biden is old and that's a problem, but why doesn't anyone seem to have a problem with the fact that Trump is almost the same age, has 34 felonies, raped at least 2 women, went to Epstein's Island 11 times, sexualized his own daughter, stole classified documents, aligned himself with Xi and Putin, and can't remember common names?

Is all of that really better than being 2½ years older than he is right now?

My OS is on a 512gb M.2 drive, but the main storage on my laptop was a 1TB HDD, it started making noise about 2 weeks ago so I backed everything up onto a 1TB SanDisk USB SSD. This afternoon it got very clicky when I booted it up after work and icons for a few games I had stored on it, like KSP and YUZU, disappeared from the desktop and taskbar.
