Oh, absolutely. I was just surprised they said anything at all about it.

OPM finally acknowledged it’s possible they might not get the funding to do this from Congress and then tried to compare it to getting furloughed. The mental gymnastics were Olympic level.

Judy Woodruff was forced to publicly apologize because Trump and Bibi said they didn’t talk about delaying it, but I still think she was right:

I mean, I’d trust unnamed sources over these two guys any day.

It’s definitely dumb, but it has been around for a very very long time: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taoist_sexual_practices

Bonus gross points for the Age of Partners section.

I wish this AI generated image would go megaviral

I’m still convinced the turning point was when Microsoft deprecated Skype for Business and merged the devs from that team with the ones working on Teams. My tinfoil hat theory is they brought their garbage Lync code with them and pulled seniority to somehow jam it into the new codebase.

This got me curious whether the milk would be any different and, if I’m reading this study correctly, there’s practically no difference in content

Said study: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/7462406/

Don’t forget, from 2014 to 2021, they had George W Bush’s Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on their board of directors.

I definitely would be a lot more likely to attend a church’s services if they put on regular drag shows. Make it a drag brunch and I’ll be there every Sunday.

This might not be completely true, but I was told by a former cop that technically anything obscuring the driver’s view through the windshield is something they can use against you. Hanging air fresheners, bobble heads, a mounted dash cam… it’s just one of those things that isn’t usually enforced.

There are a couple floating around out there, CNN/investopedia/Eat This Not That. The most scathing one I saw was from CNN, oddly enough: https://www.cnn.com/2024/08/09/business/consumer-spending-travel-value-nightcap

It’s possible I just haven’t come across those types of comments you’re making fun of, but I usually just see people making the case that we don’t need new, possibly overreaching, legislation to handle these situations. They want to avoid a disingenuous “think of the children” kind of situation.

a youth court in the city of Badajoz said it had convicted the minors of 20 counts of creating child abuse images and 20 counts of offences against their victims’ moral integrity

I’m not familiar with their legal system but I would be willing to bet the crimes they’ve committed were already illegal under existing laws.

Even better, they’re actively preparing to vote for people determined to completely dismantle and privatize NOAA, per the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025 guidelines. They won’t have to worry about the scary weather news anymore after they do that.

The fun thing is that people say “I graduated” or “I’m graduating” but it’s technically more correct to say “I am being graduated (by the university).” I might be mixing it up a bit, but the idea is that the university always has the final say over whether or not you get that important piece of paper at the end.

One of my teachers in high school taught us this, but I never actually thought I’d see it in action. It’s cruel.

I ran across software once that wouldn’t compile properly and the only documentation available was an archive.org hosted backup of an Intel help page that no longer exists. There is no alternative, Intel just removed it entirely.

Also surprisingly/unsurprisingly a ton of reform suddenly took place the moment the Mormons jumped ship and gave up leadership.

The vast majority of Flint pipes have been replaced and they’ve been well below federal requirements for years now. Pretty much all that’s left are a ton of criminal and civil proceedings, roughly 3% of residential pipelines that require the approval of the owner to replace, and earning back the trust of the residents.

You can also hear the same stuff if you spend some time at any US subway station when the local hoteps are out and about with their loudspeakers. It’s not just her.

Specifically this guy right here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cecil_Calvert%2C_2nd_Baron_Baltimore

Counsel would like to present this video as evidence to the contrary: https://youtu.be/e32942tobKE

No further questions, your honor.
