Yes, anyone can donate. Here's the official site setup by the Ukrainian government: https://u24.gov.ua/

If you're talking about the episode about prewash and detergent amounts, I've already seen it and it's not helping.

Some of the new designs are just bad at what they're supposed to do. I replaced a 25 year old dishwasher recently and the new one I bought is terrible at actually washing dishes. I'd gladly pay a few dollars more in energy/water to not have to hand scrub all my bowls.

They weren't dependable is the problem. There were a lot of problems with early deterioration of the battery, supposedly from not having very good temperature control on the battery pack.

A gift to Netanyahu for intentionally delaying the ceasefire until after the election to help Trump win.

Valve are the ones that popularized loot boxes. They're never going to tackle them.

Wouldn't surprise me if 20% of people don't even know what a constitutional crisis is or haven't been paying attention to the news.

Leopard balls apparently are.

I'm pretty sure the reddit algorithm tailors itself to your behavior. If you go to or click on a post from a certain sub, it'll increase how often it shows up in your feed. Downvote and it'll decrease how often it shows up. Also, it pushes posts that have a high upvote count compared to baseline for that sub instead of purely on upvote count.

I doubt Epic would give out the number of free games they do if they were public. Investors hate anything that takes more than a quarter to give returns.

I don't know why you got down voted because it's 100% true. NPR did a fairly good episode on it: https://www.npr.org/sections/money/2018/08/01/634737852/episode-857-the-postal-illuminati

Edit: To summarize, there's an international org (UPU) that controls the amount postal services can charge each other to deliver mail/parcels. The current due is below what it costs to actually deliver a parcel, so a package from China actually costs the USPS money. That cost gets passed on as higher domestic fees, leading to a situation where a shipper is charged ~5x more to ship something domestically compared to what a company in China is charged to ship to the US.

Silence is consent when it comes to politics. Always has been; always will be.

I actually think this is Zelensky manipulating Trump. From Ukraine's point of view, this is win-win. They get continued military support on terms that Trump is likely to champion ("$15T in rare earth metals! Take that Jina!"). The rare earth deposits are mostly in Donetsk and Luhansk, so Trump has an incentive to support taking back that territory from Russia. And finally, this will mean post-war investment into rebuilding the bombed out industries in the East.

Federal judges have lifetime appointments directly from the Constitution. They're essentially untouchable other than impeachment.

Yeah, conviction isn't happening. The House just needs a majority to bring articles of impeachment. At the very least, they seem to grab a lot of media attention.

Authoritarians are by definition not part of the left. Tankies are fascists with a red coat of paint.

The only ways to get around the Caspian involve Russia or Iran, unless you plan on going across it. Does a ferry count as hitchhiking?

At least that's still up for now.

I'd rather they burn down Mar-a-lago. The White House is a nice historic building.
