This is brilliant. Please send them an email with this idea.

I propose a GOP all-you-can-eat McD's eating competition, headlined by Trump and Vance.

Cheers, used to live there but moved when Gianforte made an example out of that sweet trans public servant from Missoula. I'd pick a blue state to live in if you can. I'm an optimist and think things will recover (with permanent damage) but it's going to get a lot worse before it gets better :/

Ahh, thank you.

It is extremely complex, requires half a dozen countries just to do, and requires incredible education and extremely long work hours.

Does anyone know if the m.2 SSD is replaceable with something like a 2230 1tb SSD from a non-apple source?

You and me both. Imagine where we'd be without Trump.

Oh, the Republicans will give them a reason to vote, just wait a bit and see, lol. If Republicans deregulating banks caused a "great recession", I'm very curious what voters just bought for us by voting for a platform of deregulating everything.

No, I think people will enjoy the taste of curb and a swift kick to the head for the next 4-8 years. It really puts things in perspective.

That, and your state and city elections matter and might be direct votes, which matter a ton now that the government is going to largely become permanently scarred and damaged for decades or longer.

Four years to fix a global pandemic and undo some of the trump admin damage.

That was the bipartisan infrastructure act to shore up stuff like roads, bridges and more, the IRA to address inflation, climate goals (freed up a ton of money for green infrastructure, replacing outdated equipment at factories like gas smelters and furnaces) and more, the CHIPS and science act to counter china and restart manufacturing here in the US, as well as smaller stuff like debt relief for students, consumer protections against banks and airlines, and repealing DOMA via respect of marriage act for interracial and queer families.

In addition to conquering covid and rescuing a crashing economy in 2020. He realistically did most of this in two years because Republicans blocked them at the midterms.

Not to mention a lot of anti-competitve and merger blocks that would have fucked our country, like having one grocery store brand across the entire US. (These will probably go through in a trump admin)

He wasn't able to get it all done, but he had one arm tied behind his back and still got a decent amount done before they got hamstrung.

Paramilitary is stretching it a bit, stuff like shooting guns is optional and with guidelines from the sane past. It plays an anemic role in the BSA, tbh.

The vast majority of boy scouts is learning constructive things like how to cook, how to perform first aid on someone who got injured in a car accident or hike, how to use a map and compass if you get lost, and basic financial planning so you aren't an idiot with money.

In short, it prepares you for life and situations where someone might freeze up if they don't know what to do in an emergency. It also makes people fluent with the outdoors and feel comfortable spending time outside of the big city.

Tldr; it's a group that prevents incel or gang behavior and helps people make friends.

When I saw the convoys in Canada, I knew you guys were in a similar situation. Europe is wavering too.

Long term? Democracy will persist. Short term? It will be tested worldwide.

My biggest fear is that climate change is pushing people to the extremes, and we get distracted in petty wars over nothing while we don't treat the underlying problem at its core. Humans in desperate situations do idiotic things.

Hello! I've had a watercooled PC for a number of years, but more recently it's been difficult to find EKWB Cryofluid Clear at reasonable prices. I'm thinking of switching to something like Mayhem's x1 coolant, or Alphacool's eiswater.

Any suggestions? Will it matter that some old fluid might still be trapped in a rad even after a flush? I'm hoping to not do a full teardown.

I'm thinking about going with this:

A 12 year old submitter her design and overwhelmingly won the competition. The stickers should be coming out this election, see if you can snag one if you live there!

 

Please vote in the general election this fall! 54 people in the state determined the outcome of the primary!

This is the person who controls all five million acres of public lands and forest fire management.

 

Salivating for mid-block crosswalks, more armored bike lanes, daylit intersections, and more on the west coast, too.

 

RealPage, maker of YieldStar, is almost singlehandedly the ones causing rent to skyrocket across much of the United States.

One of the algorithm’s developers told ProPublica that leasing agents had “too much empathy” compared to computer generated pricing.

You can learn more about them here and why this antitrust case is so important:

I love stories like these: scientists and the NIH working to create a cure for an unprofitable disease, just because it would make the world a better place. And in the interim, making new discoveries that might potentially benefit society at large.

 

Perhaps we shouldn't start deep sea mining yet.
