I’d sooner drink myself under the table with Walmart store-brand gin mixed with Tang.

I’m shocked he didn’t nominate an executive from a major opioid-manufacturing pharma for the job, instead.

We’re lucky that the Trumpster’s tweeted response didn’t read, “Oh, yeah? Well, we kicked your limey asses twice AND saved you from the Nazis, so shut the hell up!”

This is one of those “everything’s ok until it’s not” kind of situation. Most of the US economy is a freaking house of cards underneath a respectable veneer. The whole system is still dependent on ridiculously low interest rates to function effectively. If they start rising significantly and quickly, all this…

Prairie Home Companion has always been a lot like baseball for me. I feel like I *should* like it for some reason. But after about 10 minutes, I inevitably lose interest and wander off.

Who actually answers phone calls from unknown numbers? If you’re in my contact list, fine...I’ll pick up. If I’ve done business with you and I don’t know your number....text or email about what you want, or leave a message and I’ll call you back when I feel like it.

I did that last fall, and it was liberating. My Facebook feed got dramatically less toxic very quickly.

“Won’t” would imply an ongoing commitment not to do something. It’s pretty definitive.

Flying American sucks even more than most other airlines, even on a good day. Them canceling flights due to staffing shortages is a blessing in disguise for most of those passengers.

Sprint’s had them on a ridiculously cheap lease with a pretty marginally residual value for a couple weeks now. All told, if you’re either a Sprint customer or are willing to jump through a few hoops to open and then close a line with them, you can get an Esstential PH1 for about $160.

I’m pretty sure they could have done a better job by just picking up the phone and calling Lowe’s or Home Depot.

Yes and no. If you split the process into several transactions concurrently on multiple exchanges, and did so for a few days running...you could probably move a couple hundred million in Bitcoin without any issues. With some planning ahead and a week or two for the sales, not that big a deal.

Bad news...YouTube kids isn’t human-curated. They just have more restrictive tolerances on the machine learning algorithms that filters the videos. Weird shit still slips through the algorithms sometimes.

Because she would have them escorted from the room and revoke their press passes if they did?

Pshaw. That’s assuming those 1% being misused are black powder muskets. My over/under on the resulting body count is at least 4x that.

Woohoo! That really lowers the financial barrier for us turning the neighborhood watch into full-fledged militia!

True. But I get the sense that’s the case with most alt-right/neo-Nazi types in America today. You have to take the threat of violence they pose seriously, but it’s hard to view it as a coherent worldview.

“He is a big ‘Seinfeld’ fan.”

I get the concern, and it’s valid. I’m not thrilled about the idea of non-adjustable proprietary functions being tacked onto an otherwise flexible platform.

As vehemently as I disagree with the man, I have respect his level of commitment. It’s not often you see someone put so much effort into winning their Darwin Award.
