Weirdo says what?

I’m assuming you have a lot of flush-mount ceiling fixtures (aka boob lights)? My experience with them is that they’re very effective LED bulb killers.

The only two that have lasted are in my range hood for light above my stove. Those experience extreme heat and yet they are fine.

They only experience heat when you’re cooking, and are able to vent that heat to a large volume of air (assuming they’re not enclosed, or only enclosed by a thin sheet of plastic). The rest of the time they’re probably powered off and at ambient temperatures. Compare that to enclosed flush-mount fixtures, in which bulbs stay on for large portions of the day, trapping lots of heat in a small space for long periods of time. That’s a perfect recipe for killing LED bulbs.

If your house was built prior to LED bulbs being so widespread, it might be worthwhile to consider new fixtures that were actually designed with LED bulbs in mind.

Also, don’t buy no-name bulbs off Amazon. Chinese factories crank out shitty bulbs that are designed and built as cheaply as possible, and they will fail quickly.

He’s melting down. Just a matter of time before he says a slur in public. His fan base won’t care, but it’ll be enough to turn off fence-sitters and moderates.

They should have kept pushing him on the “black jobs” question.

Weird old bigot does weird old bigot things; nation shocked

Does the crotch bandage go inside the adult diaper or outside it?

“At least” is doing a lot of work in that headline

Orlitzky also read through a bunch of manuals for the devices, and writes that the washers do keep a record of when the service door was recently opened, and, being app-based, that the machines are connected to the internet. In other words, CSC probably has a record of someone opening up the machine. “My personal stance on that is suck my diiiiiiiick, but feel free to perform your own risk assessment,” Orlitzky writes.

This man is a national treasure.

Then call him malignant

Too clinical. Sorry, but “weird” hits harder for a bigger portion of the electorate.

Weird is a word that has mostly positive connotations

Not to everyone, and not in every context.

This is it. His advisors have told him about this plan, and the orange idiot can’t keep his fucking yap shut about anything. He’s literally saying the quiet part out loud.

There are subtleties of language that depend on context. I think most people understand that this line of attack refers to malignant weirdness as opposed to quirky or outside-the-mainstream weirdness.

For example, the GOP’s obsession with micromanaging women’s bodies is fucking weird. From context, you can probably see that I mean it is sinister, strange, and gross.

It must be a day that ends in Y.

I notice this when talking to my conservative in-laws. They hate things like corporate greed, the destruction of the environment, the lack of investment in American schools, and the coming insolvency of Social Security.

The problem is that their news sources tell them that the Democrats are the ones making these things worse, and the Republicans are the only ones who are trying to fix them. Their media diet is simply not reality-based.

I feel I like this idea gets repeated a lot as if it’s a time-tested universal truth. But really, can you conceive of a voter for whom a brown, mixed-race woman as president is just fine, but a second woman is a bridge too far? In other words, anyone who has a problem with two women on the ticket probably wasn’t going to vote for Harris anyway.

The same goes for a VP candidate who is gay (Buttigieg), Jewish (Shapiro), or, I dunno, bald (Kelly).

There’s something so delicious about the fact that the party of supposedly tough, heterosexual-and-don’t-you-dare-say-otherwise manly-men is represented by a guy who’s covered in spray tan and spends literally hours arranging what little hair he has left, and another guy whose smoky eye game is on point.

And yes, cishet men can wear makeup too, but come on—makeup on anybody who owns a penis is decidedly off-brand for today’s Republican Party.

For most cis hetero men, some powder to reduce the shine of the bright lights in front of the camera is normal. Guyliner is not.

The pfsense devs has acted like jackasses towards the opnsense gang.

And toward their users. Ask the wrong question on the pfSense subreddit or forum and expect to get lit up. The Opnsense community is much more helpful and inviting in my experience.

Hopefully it was taken into evidence immediately, but who knows.

I feel sorry for Covid. It’s got a case of Weinstein.

She has the next several months to go out there and hit the campaign trail harder than Trump is physically capable of doing (and much harder than Biden was capable of doing). These numbers only go way up from here.
