There’s an easier solution. Just make New Year’s Day it’s own thing, not attached to any month. Then every 4 years, you’d have 2 New Year’s Days. Or something.

I would die on the opposite hill. No spaces, only tabs.

What’s your reasoning for liking spaces?

For anyone like me whose bullshit detector calibration is off from the past 10 years of crazy, this is indeed a real tweet from the official White House Twitter account.

Well, a group backed by Leonard Leo and the Koch brothers sued Trump because of tariffs. I’d say that’s giving a bit of a shit.

These goons run companies who are notorious for only caring about this quarter’s profits. If they see profits drop because of bullshit tariffs, that’s going to hurt them today. And any benefits, if they ever appear, will take years to show up, so they’re not worth supporting.

He doesn’t understand anything. Here’s what he said about income taxes and tariffs today.

They established the income tax so that citizens, rather than foreign countries, would start paying the money necessary to run our government

I mean, I was harassed to enlist despite actively going to college (officers usually get a commission after college), despite repeatedly telling them I was not interested and never taking the test.

No, it’s half the tariff those countries place on American goods. Or so he claims. I have no idea where those numbers come from.

It’s a 3 hour aptitude test. Are you good at math? Are you good at electronics? Etc. I would imagine it’s a minor speed bump to joining the military.

According to this article, project 2025 doesn’t do that. It proposes requiring students to take the military ASVAB test. Which honestly isn’t the worst idea. In my high school they recommended people who didn’t know what they wanted to do for a career to take it even if they weren’t going into the military.

I’ve found Linux Mint to be easier to install and use than Windows. (I don’t have to enter the console and allow myself to setup an offline account because no network drivers were working in Linux. Windows 11 did that).

I’ve never had issues with graphics drivers, despite using Nvidia cards. The only issues with Linux have been because I broke something when I was messing around.

Get a USB drive, burn a Linux ISO to it, and try it out without installing it.

"Mandrake, have you never wondered why I drink only distilled water, or rain water, and only pure-grain alcohol Have you ever heard of a thing called fluoridation. Fluoridation of water? Do you realize that fluoridation is the most monstrously conceived and dangerous Communist plot we have ever had to face?

I can no longer sit back and allow Communist infiltration, Communist indoctrination, Communist subversion, and the international Communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids!"

~~Trader Joe’s is a subsidiary of Aldi. I’m not sure how that relationship works in regards to labor relations, but if this person wants to avoid Trader Joe’s for moral reasons, they might want to avoid Aldi too. ~~

I was wrong, they’re different companies that split from the same original company. Thanks for the corrections.

There’s no way it’s intentional. If you’re not familiar with the phrase “white power” in a racist context, the product description is perfectly accurate and reasonable. It took me a few seconds to figure out the problem, so if someone is unfamiliar then there’s no way they’ll identify the problem.

They were a mile short of the runway according to the aviation safety network, but your point still stands.

81. He is a bleached sarcophagus.

He didn’t get better.

The article says that we can distinguish 2 different smells that appear 60 milliseconds apart.

Mail in voting across the board could be better than a federal holiday. In Washington, I get everything I need to vote in the mail: a ballot, a voter’s guide, a postage paid envelope. I literally don’t have to wear pants to vote. I can take a week to make a decision about something before I wander over to the nearest mailbox to drop off my ballot.

Never having done it, voting in person sounds awful.

For those wondering, the Marburg virus has similar symptoms as Ebola.

I didn’t imply assassination attempts of the vice president when I was an 8 year old boy. This guy is a lunatic.
