  • It was Mitch McConnell and the Republics that blocked Merrick Garland, not the Democrats.

  • Whichever one first crashes into another Alpine gets signed for 2025.

  • the entire point of the court is to evaluate legislation against our constitution

    That is not the entire point of SCOTUS. That is not even in the constitution; it is a power the court gave itself in Marbury v. Madison.

    Most SCOTUS decisions are judging appeals against federal law (including the constitution). Occasionally they rule a federal law unconstitutional, but not usually.

  • There is no reason why the message sync that works from phone to phone could not be implemented on the desktop client as well.

  • I feel for the hundreds of engineers at Microsoft who have been yelling about these security issues since day one, but cannot say "I told you so" because they'd get fired.

  • The noise is the worst part of race cars. Why do people want more of it?

    Hearing damage is cumulative and permanent.

  • Sainz gets appendicitis, wins next race.

    Norris breaks his nose, wins next race.

  • Can I print this black & white document even though I am out of yellow ink?

    We are checking.

  • Get an A/V receiver, a computer monitor or dumb TV, and speakers. Then you can get a Roku streaming player and it cannot show you anything when you do not have its input selected on the receiver.

    Even an inexpensive pair of bookshelf speakers placed on either side of the TV will sound better than built-in TV speakers. Add a center speaker and a subwoofer drastically improved sound.

    Non-4k AV receivers are dirt cheap used.

  • Apparently everybody before 1800 was a bad parent.

  • The PB&Js your mom made and cut into quarters diagonally and brought out to you and your friends playing in the backyard when you were six. The ones with the toothpicks in them, indicating they have crunchy PB. Best after sitting for ten minutes so the jelly starts to leak into the bread a little bit. With a glass of milk.

  • First, does your monitor have an audio output? Some do, and it will output the audio from the HDMI/DisplayPort input.

    If not, you could get an HDMI audio extractor (like this one) to split the audio out of the HDMI signal. Then you can get any streaming device that has an HDMI out.

    If your speakers are not powered and you are not married to your amplifier, you could buy an A/V receiver.

  • Boeing QA department

  • Wealthy people are mad that the government is not spending money on protecting their luxuries from the consequences of their own actions.

  • I love the analogy of Hummers overrunning Priuses, because while Hummers are more dangerous that Priuses, they both kill pedestrians, burn gasoline, and dump microplastics everywhere.
