Yeah, nothing in those chat messages is damning. I admit that I’m a bit surprised that she offered the use of the gas stove to boil water to her neighbors - it sounds like a kind gesture that could be a real help when nothing is working. And $300/night to get out of a frozen hellscape with 2 kids sounds extremely…

Contrast Cruz’s reaction to Beto’s (y’all voted in the wrong guy, but it was close). Sadly, too many people in Texas see a (D) at the end of a name at the voting booth, and get visions of a Nazi-Commie who will take away their guns and force them to have abortions.

They’re not ridiculously cheap. They’re cheap because they’re ridiculous.

Ummm...

It’s a troublesome interview to watch, seemingly done as a ploy to get views instead of actually helping her.

I’ve seen surgical ultrasound transducers that could obliterate the shell of an uncooked egg while leaving the membrane underneath behind. We’ve all seen the tools that can cut through a plaster cast and not hurt the skin of the person underneath.

IMO Gorilla Glue doesn’t owe this woman anything, but if I was in marketing or product development there, I’d be reaching out and working with her to provide a chemical or mechanical treatment that will break down the glue without causing her harm.

Motorcycles seem so cool but I fear I would absolutely die on one.

God damn I love this bike. It’s basically the only new bike I have any interest in - even though it fits exactly 0% of my motorcycle use cases.

Hey, you know how many times I’ve sent a group email to my wife’s peers and staff?

Somebody gets it.

I feel like we shouldn’t overlook the utter failure of this capitol police officer to find and protect her. OK, she hid well and was very quiet - would that have protected her from a really determined mob? It’s doubtful.

I really struggle to see how you can look at the car’s history and not call it incredibly cohesive, distinctive, immediately recognizable, and handsome. The 996 slots in no problem.

When the 996 and Boxter came out, I thought they were gorgeous cars. But IMO the years have not been kind - they look blobby and hideous to me now.

But “The enemy of my enemy is my friend” is the stupidest take in history. It has caused so many monstrous failures.

It is a puzzle to me why Dogecoin is so highly valued

You’re making unsupported assumptions about the amount of liquidity and the speed of transactions. It’s not like changing USD to EUR on a multi-bank portal.

A bit of salt in the wounds of the last 4 years was seeing people who really, REALLY should have known better cheering for the motherfuckers at The Lincoln Project.
