“Skip to” isn’t quite fair, because the million things that can be done need to be done by tens of millions of people, and not everybody has those opportunities. So for some, “Guess I’ll get a gun while I still can,” is just the next thing they can do after voting and protesting and calling and writing and donating and speaking, because we’ve been taught for a long time that that’s how these things go and the best defense is being armed.

And even beyond that, saying “You Americans” as though we’re all a like-minded group is as silly as assuming that everyone is from the US.

Lmao, so what does your opinion mean?

Israel’s ambassador to the UN, Danny Danon.

I have only heard a few things, but if the US and Israel don’t want it, I assume it’s something good for the world.

That’s a self-defeating attitude. Be careful with what you’re looking for, because you’re likely to find it. If you’re looking for reasons that she doesn’t like you, you’re going to find them!

Clearly not, right?

Reach as far as I can, use trickle-down soapenomics to take care of the rest.

Lol, are you referencing KGs remarks in Australia, by chance…?

Overcorrection to the LEFT???

No idea why my previous comment shows as quoted, but whatever

My argument is that if they were actually competing that would mess with the performative nature of the storytelling.

athlete Athletes compete or strive against others to attain a goal, TV wrestlers perform, or enact a feat before an audience.

I don’t think anybody is asking to measure his feet, but these measurement devices are practically everywhere that shoes are sold, so it’s easy to check for yourself.

I wonder if it’s a function of total surface area or if it’s more about the weight pressing on your ankles…

I used to try to use them 100%, but there are so many situations where it’s completely unwarranted (in my specific driving circumstances). So I guess I default to using my indicators, but I try to use them the right way, i.e. before a lane change rather than after I’ve started to commit.

Also, I used to put on my indicator for a lane change nice and early, but dear god the way these cars warn about your blind spot being occupied, holy shit. Music turns down, loud beeping, it’s madness.

No, but only because I rarely pull out of a driveway or parking spot into any sort of traffic. Parallel parked on a road, though, sure.

The mobile YouTube apps are the worst for this. Especially because the “back” button is really an “escape” button, so trying to just swipe back to where you were is impossible

You were making good points, what happened?

A random Better Homes and Gardens article clocks a 2000 square ft (185 square meters) home with central air conditioning at nearly 19,000 watts.

So I think most homes could handle that in general, but I don’t know about specific wiring requirements to handle that kind of power draw from just the kitchen. So do these things require that level of retrofit?

Thanks, dumbass! 🤣

Excellent, just the example I needed to prevent me from examining my own use of Sync. I picked it up straight off of RiF and it’s been mostly fine. Spoilers rarely work and sometimes it just straight up can’t “fetch the image,” but I can do the things I care about, like downvoting and making ad hominem attacks. 10 out of 10 for me.

Feels pretty fitting that lawmakers are using their powers to protest. I wish they would be generally more vocal, but maybe I’m just insulated by my surroundings. What kinds of resistance were you hoping to see?
