And his base eats. it. up. Remember, "he hurts the right people" "he's not hurting the people he needs to be hurting" is a real quote from a real supporter at one of his rallies.

And it's always wrong in the weirdest, someone-has-to-be-fucking-with-me ways. I ordered a sausage, egg, and cheese McMuffin for breakfast the other day. I hate their cheese, so I ordered just sausage and egg.

I opened the wrapper to my sandwich, and I had a sausage patty and 3 slices of cheese. It was rung up correctly, so I truly have no clue what was going on in the back.

I downloaded my first porn from Kazaa, over dial-up.

It was true at one point, but has since changed. The systems are totally air-gapped and worked 100% of the time, so there was never a reason to change them.

Also true: Boeing still uses floppies to update their 747s.

It's slightly different from the light just heating the water. The energy of the individual photons colliding with the water molecules causes them to vaporize without heat transfer.

Well fuck. Before I saw the URL I assumed this was the US...

In AOC's case in particular, she was boosted by a law we passed that matched personal donations with a certain amount of public funds as well. It was intended to allow people like her (i.e. the not-already-disgustingly-wealthy) a more viable route to government. So there are some places that are keeping an eye on campaign finance, albeit at a glacial pace.

That's what's always baffled me about him. He's so goddamn vain, he has to have his name directly attached to everything, and PROMINENTLY. He could peddle all the influence he wants and have a more effective, wider reach if he'd just do everything through shell companies and "affiliates," but everything has to be about stroking his tiny ego. I guess, in a way, it's a good thing for everyone else, because you can tell from the get-go to avoid at all costs.

Assuming the lawyers pass that entire $328MM on to the drivers (we know they won't), that's less than $3,000 per driver. I'd be willing to bet after the lawyers take their share, each driver gets a check for $1.47. Some victory.

What really baffles me is how people that have dishwashers manage to do this. Like, use bowl/whisk/cutting board/whatever > put in dishwasher. That way, all you have to do is wash your knives while everything else cooks.

Ironic for a party of bootlickers, that.

It's not that schools shouldn't be funded by property tax, it's that the revenue collected should be pooled and distributed equitably among the state's public schools. Cincinnati OH does it this way (they call it "funding where you learn, not where you live") so it's possible with enough political will.

If you can find it, Austin Eastcider is good too!

Yeah, you'll usually see that referred to as "hard cider" here. Though, it's worth pointing out that even American hard ciders are sickeningly sweet. There's a pub near me that has Strongbow, and I've become a big fan.

Because it was Hillary's platform, and he hates her more than he hates Eric.

Yep! Truly, fake it 'til you make it. I hate social situations, but I can at least put on enough of a public face to get through them, partially through coping strategies like those.

I've had this happen enough times that I usually say something like "I'm so sorry, I recognize your face but I just can't recall your name right now. Would you remind me again please?" Most people take that pretty well.

Now I wanna know what DID come out during his term.

I see that now, I'll edit. Thanks
