It takes 3 years of recession to become a depression. It won’t be declared before the midterms, and I hope it doesn’t happen at all, but those chickens may come home to roost right as the next presidential election starts to get into full swing.

Dianna Cowern, a science educator on YouTube, has been out of commission for years with long COVID. She has just been starting to make some serious progress on recovery in the last six months or so. I hope this doesn’t set her back.

Counter example: OJ Simpson wasn’t convicted in criminal court, but he lost the civil case brought by the victims’ families. If I recall from Trump’s various cases, there’s actually a lower burden of proof on civil cases. For a criminal case, you need to be found guilty beyond the shadow of a doubt. In a civil case, it’s just a preponderance of the evidence. (More likely than not.)

Can executive pardons get you out of a civil case, though? I thought it only excused you from criminal prosecution.

It also makes upgrading cheaper, though your little brother playing as Player 2 will have to suffer through having an inferior controller. (As is tradition.)

This page has a good translation; I’d paste directly, but it wasn’t pasting in cleanly on mobile.

No, one was named Zathras and the other was named Zathras. Different pronunciation, you see.

If they did so, they’d also require Zamboni drivers to do their circuits in the opposite direction, counterclockwise instead of clockwise. They like to drive along the boards on the driver’s side so they can tuck up against the wall gently & see just how close they’re getting.

The worst was when someone left for vacation without releasing their file locks.

Why is this a federal case to begin with? Seems like it should be in state court.

I think the GOO sent a pretty clear message back in 2021 when they failed to convict Trump in the impeachment trial after the January 6th riot.

“… and nothing of value was lost.”

Sounds like a sovereign citizen “where’s the wet ink signature?” kind of complaint.

If the Tesla board of directors was being responsible to shareholders, they’d have recognized the damage the public perception of Elon is doing to the company and either have him rein it in or outright remove him. However, Elon’s gotten a number of his cronies onto the board, so I don’t think it’s happening unless the shareholders vote out the current board.

Ducking autocorrect, don’t get me started.

DS9 had at least two different kinds of flared mugs: the HotJo, which is still sold for $30, and the Feltman Langer, which is no longer sold, but this CherryTree is recreating.

We have to be getting close to the point where its cheaper to just buy a hen.

Why aren’t you wearing a suit to go grocery shopping? Show some respect!

Vermont imports a quarter of its electricity from HydroQuebec. We’ve made it very clear this past weekend what we think of the administration. All the same, I completely understand.

Because that’s what the author is used to calling a place that sells cars.
