Garland was a republican and a compromise supreme court pick. The hope was republicans would hedge their bets and confirm him. Getting a guaranteed pick they liked in place of a possible Trump pick.

After Trump won Democrats should have dropped Garland like a ton of bricks. Instead they did what they usually do and went all on one their failed compromises position after Republicans failed to compromise.

My uncle made one in 1985 that did blinks for clicks and looking direction for joystick control.

Back in highschool my friend managed to set his family pc's desktop to an animated gif of a woman getting a facial.

I got the most desperate phone call asking me to come over and help. I showed up and set it to normal about 1 min before his mom came home.

I'd stay far far away from Anova. Their build quality has massively dropped.

In the last two years I've seen plastic cracking, touch screens failing, and panels falling off because the glue couldn't handle the upper temp limit of the machine.

If you are willing to spend big for buy it for life get a PolyScience MX-CA11B. It's what restaurants that run them non stop for years use. If you are not willing to spend that much get one of the other PolyScience machines.

The Practice Effect. Physicist tests teleportation device and ends up in a world where using something makes it better.

So if you use a sled enough it eventually becomes frictionless thus they never invented the wheel. MC basically becomes a wizard using engineering.

It's a govt event that's invite only so they can kick him out. They can't prosecute him for what he said or prevent him from saying it elsewhere.

Still a shitty thing to do.

I've sometimes seen it with the "same species" tag. Despite the unfortunate implications of the name. It come from a line in the west wing.

The everybody is a perfect logician part means no one gets it wrong and no one make a guess.

They also don't say the color of their eyes when they leave. They can just use logic to figure it out.

There are some other problems with this versions wording though. Usually you need to specify that the speaker doesn't lie.

Fun trivia. It's called a second because it's the second division of an hour after minutes. You can keep going with thirds and fourths for sub second time.

Yup he was big on killing the advanced us nuclear power program during the clinton admin. Just because the republicans were pro nuclear. That did more damage to our carbon footprint than any good that came from the IRA.

A portion of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore has collapsed after a large boat collided with it early on Tuesday morning, sending multiple vehicles into the water.

At about 1.30am, a vessel crashed into the bridge, catching fire before sinking and causing multiple vehicles to fall into the water below, according to a video posted on X.

“All lanes closed both directions for incident on I-695 Key Bridge. Traffic is being detoured,” the Maryland Transportation Authority posted on X.

Matthew West, a petty officer first class for the coastguard in Baltimore, told the New York Times that the coastguard received a report of an impact at 1.27am ET. West said the Dali, a 948ft (29 metres) Singapore-flagged cargo ship, had hit the bridge, which is part of Interstate 695.
