True, but the Democratic party isn't putting Biden forth because he's the best they've got. He is the white candidate that is minimally objectionable to most voters, especially those who voted for Trump out of spite and rage after eight years of Obama, and so is mostly likely to get the votes.

Biden has to have more to offer than to be the alternative to Trump, and because even bringing up his age causes condemnation, I'm not sure there's actually much else being considered about Biden as a candidate.

An English-Latin phrasebook, a survival manual explaining how to recognize plants, grow food, handle livestock, set traps, and make simple shelter, e-reader loaded with modern books and a usb solar panel, a multitool, sewing kit, a small dagger, cerium/magnesium flint, first-aid kit, antibiotics, water treatment (Sodium Dichloro-S-Triazinetrione), preservative and neutralizer (sodium metabisulfite), salt, potassium chloride, peanut butter.

But I'd probably be quickly ambushed and killed nonetheless, or hauled off to the slave markets.

Is Begum stateless? I thought that the UN "Conventional relating to the status of stateless persons" forbids the removal of citizenship that renders a person stateless. She may have to return to the UK to face criminal charges due to her cooperation with a terrorist group, but I do not think the UK is allowed by the Convention to revoke her citizenship.

The problem is that ceramic and glass dishes often chip if they are in contact with each other in the dishwasher.

https://www.aipac.org/ is an influential lobbying organization. Your elected leaders listen to influential lobbying organizations.

It's just amazing that probably the one man who least needs to give a crap about anything has such a thin skin. All of his money can't seem to resolve his deep insecurity.

As much as I would have loved to hear their arguments in front of the Court, it's a waste of even this Court's time.

They're going to impeach Biden, and the Senate will not convict. The Republicans get something to rile up their base, because governing is now theater.

Place your phone in a sealed bag with a container of anhydrous calcium chloride, like Damp Rid. DO NOT allow the powder to get in the phone, just have in the same bag as the phone. It is a strong desiccator.

HELLO REAL PERSON. I AM ANOTHER REAL PERSON. LET US EXCHANGE SALUTATIONS AND MEMES. I LOLED SO HARD I SQUIRT LUBRICATION FLUID THROUGH BY PROBOSCIS PORT.

I listen to classical, WETA or WFMT or WCPE by default. Sometimes I listen to college radio to hear stuff I don't know about. Today I listened to a concert by Tom Waits in 1977.

I have a few parametric projects I posed on my github:

One of them is called "Memorybox" and is a gift box I made that has parametrically definable dimensions, and the text embossed on it can be changed as well.

Well, growing up in the 80s, I thought for a while I might not live to be an adult. I saw The Day After and I lived three blocks from a naval air station.

Perhaps the MAGA base is finally running out of money for their champion to piss away. Though if they had any more, I'm sure Trump would be willing to spend to his very last supporter.

Debt bondage is slavery, but it's still a thing unfortunately.

It's the opposite of Jubilee, in that debts are literally forever, rather than released every seven years.

This is survivor bias in action.

Sergei Magnitsky already did this in 2009, but I suppose we needed a reminder.
