Using a browser that gives Brendan Eich any influence is dubious in other ways. Firefox with extensions or DDG is preferable.

My wife is a physician. Her patients on Medicaid don’t know that they’re on Medicaid because it’s called the state program’s name.

My buddy has managed/customized the Linux kernels on Nest devices for a decade. He took it immediately. Exactly the type of person you’re describing.

Crazier to call it a “fasted state”. Bruh, that’s 16 hours.

The funniest part about 2) is that strategic industries will have to compete for employees with non essential factories.

Everyone obsessed with income share agreements fail to mention that public student loans ARE INCOME SHARE AGREEMENTS*.
*with potentially serious tax implications after 10, 20, or 25 years depending on the program.

Reminds me of the similar reaction that happens with vegans/vegetarians. Sorry for forgetting my bucket of red paint and whole portobello “burgers” when attending your bbq.

That’s what radicalized me during the Portland protests. It’s kafkaesque when you’ll catch charges for wanting to know who’s abducting you.

What fucking planet do you live on where this isn’t the current state of affairs?
No compliance until the impoundment ceases and starts to be unwound!

“Mr. Trump doesn’t want the appropriators to do their job. He wants full control over government spending.”
“the Trump administration would have wide-ranging authority to deem whole agencies, programs and personnel nonessential, furloughing staff members with no promise they would ever be rehired.“

Wow hopefully we use our only source of leverage to counter this and other impoundment… right Chuck? Would be a spineless move to move forward with Trump having a line item veto.

The fan edit of it going into A New Hope is perfection. I also love the effort in Rogue One to blend into the original aesthetic.

The citation itself: “More than $175 billion (74%) of errors were overpayments—for example, payments to deceased individuals or those no longer eligible for government programs”
comment in response to

FACT: Over the past two decades, the federal government has made an estimated $2.7 trillion in “improper payments” — the majority of which come in the form of “payments to deceased individuals or those who no longer [are] eligible for government programs.”

I agree with the point, but Jerry Rig Everything did do the same to a traditional truck as a control and, while it looked dangerous, it didn’t seem to crack or break.

We got the Cybertruck when he did that. He should stick to stumbling presentations where he claims credit for more competent people’s work like he used to do. That and quietly get therapy and rehab.

But if shoving a bottle rocket up my backside is facilitating the transition of myself into the world’s first human rocket hybrid, that’s a trade off we should consider.
See how dumb that sounds when the outcome is 100% fanciful?

The assumption of a competitive bidding process going to a highly competent, experienced team is borderline absurd at this point.

I don’t understand the impulse to let labels that are self defined evolve to mean something contrary to their OG definition.
Oh you’re an effective altruist who’s against vaccine distribution and malaria nets? No you aren’t!
Oh you’re a libertarian who’s supporting a proto-fascist? No you aren’t!

I didn’t impound funds, I didn’t falsify data on a government website, I didn’t ignore the mother of my child’s desperate pleas, I didn’t raid $40m from other agencies, I didn’t do horse tranquilizers.

If you charted cumulative commercial fatalities 2025 would look insanely panic inducing! Because singular rare events are… singular and rare.
comment in response to
post
Don’t panic it’s correct, but the headline chart of that article is a red herring.
The vast majority of fatal accidents are small civilian aircraft (as the article points out). Fatal commercial passenger plane accidents are exceedingly rare, zero in most recent years.

AOC is pretty far to my left but she’s one of my favorite politicians because she understands the danger we’re in and knows how to message/fight effectively.
