Lost me at "the first consumer product we’re aware of to use nitinol".

There were nitinol eyeglass frames back in the 1980s.

How do we blame Telesto this time?

Dunno. I dropped out 30 years ago.

Wanted to teach high school.

Kinda need my undergrad first...

Interesting article, unfortunately it's not politics. Removing under rule 2, nothing personal.

Fits for the US news communities!

And unlike Rick Perry, he remembered all of them...

The inherent problem is this:

Republicans in power:
"We're the majority! Elections have consequences! You have to do it OUR way or YOU aren't being 'bipartisan'!"

Republicans not in power:
"We're the minority! You have to do it OUR way or YOU aren't being 'bipartisan'!"

Democrats:
"We COULD call them out on their bullshit, but that would be 'uncivil'. When they go low, we go high..." And get their asses kicked from below.

Saying her actions will extend the strike attributes to her more power than she actually has.

I don't see this having much of an impact at all.

Unless the conspiracy involves child sexual abuse in an athetic program...

Let's take this a point at a time:

"The first is Hunter Biden was put on the Burisma board."

Well that's true.

"Second, he was put on that board with no qualifications."

That's false. He previously served on the board of Amtrak, appointed by President George W. Bush.

"Third, Burisma, asked him, can you weigh in with DC to relieve the pressure we’re under from the prosecution, from the prosecutor here in Ukraine?"

That's false. The prosecutor in Ukraine was FAILING to investigate corruption, that's why the IMF wanted him removed. That's why the Ukranian ambassador from the US wanted him removed. That's why 100 members of Ukranian parliament wanted him removed.

"And fourth, Joe Biden did just that. He leveraged our tax money to get the prosecutor fired."

That's true, after multiple levels of both the US and Ukranian governments asked for it to happen. Biden got it done.

"And that fourth fact is, is validation of what the confidential human source said in the 1023 form. So that is what is central to this case."

No, it isn't. The 1023 form is a statement of "someone told us x", it has no validation.

I'm less concerned about '24 than I am a '28 "Her Turn" Harris candidate. She hasn't been good or effective as VP and running her in '28 guarantees a Republican win.

I dunno, Joe "Nothing will fundamentally change" Biden did OK.

Dining out is CRAZY now.

My wife and I were out and about last weekend and needed to eat so we hit a Burger King.

Meals for 2, nothing crazy, was $30... at freaking BURGER KING. We don't even have a sales tax here.

Because, for a lot of people, the economy isn't improving.

Say you were on the verge of buying a house, interest rates have doubled, are at a 22 year high, and now you're priced out of the market.

Or, say you're like me and bought a house in 2021 with a 3.25% interest rate. You're locked in. You can't sell your house, a) because nobody could afford the 7% it's going to take to buy it and b) you likely can't afford the 7% it will likely take to buy a new house.

Refinancing isn't an option because who wants a higher rate. Ditto for a 2nd mortgage.

And this doesn't even get into rising food and fuel costs.

IIRC Coventry was kind of a Fables prototype. So what he started there was likely worked out through Fables.

I was rocking a $600 Amiga 500. :)

The Macintosh SE/30 was the year before at $4,400 ($4,900 with a hard drive).

PC prices were $1,000 to $2,000.

Wonder whatever happened to the Elementals property?
