Yes, that's actually exactly what I ended up buying. It's got a pause/play button, so I hit that and take the whole thing with me.

That means the charging cable also needs to be unplugged if I want to step away. Thanks for the info about it not being normal, I guess I just got a POS splitter.

I recently bought a phone that lacked a 3.5mm jack, so I bought a splitter with a USBC charging port and a headphone jack. The problem I encountered was that the splitter reported to the phone that headphones were connected even if they were not. I was used to unplugging the headphones and have playback automatically pause, and resume when the headphones were put back in. With the splitter I was no longer able to do that. I don't know if I bought a cheap ass splitter or if that's the normal behavior for these things.

They have to blur the faces to keep the public from helping identify them and thus help the DoJ.

Yeah, but we already have "falsehoods" for that, why make up a word? Because untruths is more of a soft pedal.

It's notable that the Republicans have not attempted to court the pro Palestinian voters in reaction to the anger at Biden. Because they are if anything more pro Israel / anti Palestine than the Democrats.

I agree that the Dems are the "only slightly better" party in a few aspects, and they need to do better. But slightly better is still better than the alternative and we need to vote like it.

He said this well after the Ethics Committee released its findings. Santos was effectively shown to be guilty.

In the previous attempts at expulsion, a lot of people voted against simply because the report wasn't out yet. It would have set a dangerous precedent to vote to expel someone without proof of wrongdoing.

Mike Johnson said "I personally have real reservations about doing this [expulsion], I’m concerned about a precedent that may be set for that." Yes, let's NOT set a precedent of holding politicians accountable for lies, fraud, and theft!

It should be pretty easy to find the list of everyone else who voted not to expel, so we know who is pro-corruption.

Typically people go in when there's not much time left, but hospice is really just a commitment that you're not going to bother fighting whatever illness you've got or might get. People can go into hospice and stay there a long time, and even come out of it.

Yeah well he didn't swear to read the Constitution either, so it's okay if he doesn't support it /s

It's actually rather painfully clear he's never read it anyway.

This is just some inane bullshit dancing around language.

And I'll bet you dollars to donuts he will say he's not a racist because he's married to an Asian.

And Republicans being against diversity, equity, and inclusion.

That's what I was raised to believe. But minimum wage hasn't kept pace with inflation and rent has spiraled out of control. I'm astounded that 57% of Americans cannot handle a $1000 emergency expense. It's very hard to save enough for a down payment just going on salary alone.

Waiting in the self checkout is kind of frustrating that way. But in the manned checkout you'll still get the customer who waits until the bill is totalled before taking out their wallet and digging through for cash or card, as if they somehow expected not to have to pay. I'm pretty efficient in self checkout e.g bagging stuff while the payment is processing.

What is with this obsession with Biden's age, as if there's a direct correlation to competence. This never comes up a topic of concern with Bernie Sanders, who is older by a year. Sure, I'd say Feinstein should have been retired 8 years or more before but instead she ridiculously hung on till death. And sure, age is a concern since the guy could die in office. But Biden isn't showing any signs of incompetence any more than Sanders. And certainly in better mental shape than his Republican rival who can barely string together 3 coherent sentences.

That scumbag will say anything to get attention. The filthier the better, and it seems filth is all he's got left.

I understand and sympathize with their disappointment, but voting Republican would be even worse. The issue at hand is that both parties are pro-Israel.

It would be nice if the Democratic party wasn't simply the "less bad" choice for Muslims (and various POC) on some policies.

I thought the gag order included directing others to attack?

I've never used any of those services. If the restaurant doesn't deliver, I pick up my order. I also try to go to the restaurant's website and use whatever ordering system they have there, under the assumption (perhaps mistaken) that the restaurant chose that ordering system because it was the best deal for them.
