It’s even worse than that; the Court is helping to dismantle democracy itself.
Buttery males!
A cat I used to have had a chair we called his “fighting chair”. It was in the living room and he loved to sleep on it and hated to be bothered when doing so. If you petted him while he was in the chair, you’d soon feel the claws, teeth and bunny kicks. If I dared to do it with bare skin, he’d take it easy on me. However, if I had a thick sweatshirt on, it was no-holds barred.
kind of like seven minute abs.


It was only a matter of time, and I’m surprised that it’s taken this long for a cardboard drone to come to market. Dirt cheap, but strong enough to hold together to deliver the payload.


Probably the greatest Picard moment in the entire series.


That sounds way low.

That is the shocking part.


The fastest way to learn a language is with the comprehensible input method. You watch videos, all of which are 100% in the target language. The early videos are easy, involving simple things, and using props and gestures to provide the context for understanding. As you learn more, the videos progress and become more difficult. It’s amazing how quickly you pick up things and retain them. There is a lot of comprehensible input material for Spanish, French, and English, but you can use children’s television shows like Peppa Pig where there isn’t specific material for the target language. Here is a beginner video in Spanish.


Of course he’s just saying that. He’ll do whatever Trump wants and destroy the dollar in the process. While Powell’s term as Fed Chair is up in May, he still has a few years on his governorship, which is why Trump says he’ll fire him, and you can absolutely bet he will. Between Tariffs and the Iran War, Trump is killing the economy, and the only way to stave off a blood bath in the midterms is to juice the economy with low rates. It’s a matter of survival for Trump, so you can bet 100% that Powell will be gone. Whether by firing or stochastic terrorism that Trump enjoys stoking, Powell’s days as a fed governor are numbered.


I’m with you. I used to love being in on the bleeding edge of technology. Now it just disappoints me. Enshittifcation is the norm. Instead of “how can we make this game more fun,” it’s all about “how can we wring more profit out of this,” and gathering personal data for marketing is a favorite method. I never thought I’d become a Luddite, but here I am.


I’ve been running GrapheneOS for several years now and I love it, and currently run it on a Pixel 9 Pro XL. Super easy to install and use. With respect to the things you can’t compromise on, you should be fine if you run the sandboxed Google Play services. I will say that my banking app updated a while back and now will not work with GrapheneOS, saying something about a lack of security, which I assume is because they probably added checks for stock android, so YMMV. If you buy a used Pixel, make sure you get one with an unlockable bootloader. Carrier phones have locked bootloaders, along with carrier locking, and when they unlock them they just unlock the carrier aspect so that you can use them on other carriers, and the bootloaders remain locked so you can’t wipe the OS and install another, so you have to make sure you get one with an unlockable bootloader. Some ebay sellers advertise this, making it easy to find what you need. If you ever want to revert to stock android, it is an easy change. Google’s “unverified app” decision does not affect GrapheneOS’ ability to sideload apps, as it is a completely different OS.


Thanks for the insightful comment!


They do. However, the drugs your pet needs may not be off patent, and thus you have to buy branded.
When they’re attracted enough, all the rules go out the window.
