Only if I think I set it for too long.

They're bragging about how fast the camp was built - which only proves how easily they could house the homeless if they wanted to. Don't trust anything Republican politicians say.

Even as a nongamer I appreciate the stylistic aspects of gaming computers, but tbh if I were going to buy one I'd probably put the money into better specs and a plain case.

Backpedaling to "defending creators" - that's a bold move, Cotton.

Walk me thru how the tariffs will work on that, will ya taco boy?

Only half kidding now... the way morality and ethics get extrapolated now by the perfection police, this must mean anti-AI = misogynist.

My pattern is that when I finally give up looking for something and make a definite decision to replace it or make do with something else, within a couple seconds I randomly look right at whatever I was searching for. It happens so consistently I'm sure it's a brain pattern. My theory is that part of me knows where the thing is but doesn't let the information rise to my consciousness because the search is a fun game. Then when I sincerely decide to quit looking, the game is over so there's no point hiding it anymore.

Confused - I like flowers but don't have a blog.

Yeah I do a lot of keyboard shortcuts. My computer career started before I even had a mouse, it was all keyboard editing. Doesn't bother me a bit to leave the mouse just sitting there. In fact after typing a comment here I just tab to the Post button and hit Enter.

I remember when all we had was the hamster dance and zombocom.

No, the greehouse effect involves the atmosphere trapping the sun's heat, and at the distance of Neptune the sun just looks like another bright star - too far away to provide enough heat even to keep an atmosphere in a gaseous state. BUT... if a faraway planet (I'm just gonna go ahead and use that word) generates enough internal heat to keep its atmosphere gaseous, it wouldn't need a greenhouse effect, or even a sun. It could roam around between stars and still maintain an atmosphere, and who knows... living things could evolve that get all their energy from heat instead of sunlight.

Darn right!

IMO "I don't know" is a perfectly valid opinion if you just don't know.

This critter has a disturbing head-to-body size ratio.

Agree, I imagine House only got a medical degree because he was effortlessly a straight-A student and it fed his ego.

I disagree, pretty much every character in the show has a LG moment when they do the right thing in spite of being tempted not to.

I was lucky, my worst childhood injury was breaking a toe on the bottom of a swimming pool I jumped into.

GingTFO isn't actually a huge problem for Americans. I've looked into it and the only reason I'm still here is that my wife refuses to leave and I love her too much to leave her. Dozens of countries will give Americans residency, although citizenship is usually a lot more difficult and/or takes years. There is usually a minimum income requirement, but you don't have to be rich. I've seen it in the $1200-$2k/mo range in multiple places. Of course this has to be income you can still make while you're in the new country, not a US job you're going to give up. Makes it pretty sweet for "digital nomads" tho who can work remotely.

A few countries highly rated by expats are Costa Rica, Panama, Uruguay (esp good environment for LGBTQ+), and Thailand. Vietnam doesn't even have a visa limit - technically it's 3 or 5 years but all you have to do to reset it is go away for like 30 days. There are lots of others. If you want to get started google "Americans moving abroad", there are tons of helpful videos and articles.

Those were all just thrown in to cause confusion and distract everybody from the correct answer, Onion Rings.

I'm gonna have to lock in Onion Rings as my final answer.
