The idea of being able to access the trackball from the front or back really is intriguing.

Corporate needs you to find the difference between this woman and TurboTax.

No, charging other people so that you can take advantage of a loophole is called Tax Preparation

At this point we've reached a complete and utter death of euphemism around anything regarding Trump.

All attempts to "bring to light" any horrible thing Trump has factually committed will be met by his followers with, "Well that's actually a good thing." And any politician trying to ride his wake will have to go along with it.

How soon until we start hearing "Look, we have to view Hitler with some nuance" from the Senate podium.

Yep, and because we know Democrats won't have the stomach for, the next time there's a Republican VP on Jan 6th, they will use this ruling to announce that the Democratic winner is an insurrectionist and therefore disqualified and the same people sitting on the bench will rule that he's right.

You might try to critique this joke with a fine-tooth comb, but then you'd just be splitting hairs.

Return of the Obra Dinn is short but a great puzzle game for keeping track of things.

There's podcasts like Sleep With Me that occupy the same place as white noise.

True, it's obvious to anyone paying attention that this was always the point, but it is notable whenever we witness yet another death of a euphemism

Who is this message even for? Not the workers obviously. Does it instill the investors with confidence? "Production is so poorly managed and staffed that we have to rely on people working overtime." Does it increase demand? "Come buy these vehicles assembled by overworked, sleep-deprived line workers, hope it works out if you get in an wreck!" It's entirely for his own ego.

I had it during the beta. Not bad, though it's pretty heavy handed with the Jetbrains sales pitches after almost every answer.

Their integration with the Git interface was nice though, having auto-generated commit messages based on its evaluation of the changeset is so convenient.

Station 11 on Max is a thoughtful, heartfelt, and artistic post apocalypse show. Very different from the standard fair.

It's really too bad Kroger discontinued "The Fizzicist".

Just before the vote was about to begin, Rep. Max Miller of Ohio, one of Santos' Republican colleagues, sent an email to the full Republican conference, writing that he and his mother were victims of credit card fraud tied to Santos' campaign and that he would be voting to remove Santos.

"Neither my Mother nor I approved these charges or were aware of them," Miller wrote in the email obtained by NPR. "We have spent tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees in the resulting follow up."

It's literally because it was starting to affect them personally.

I'm surprised Dems decided to join in ousting him instead of voting present and letting him stay. But I guess watching GOP flail in another month-long speaker election can only help contrast them.

This stopgap bill would absolutely have enough votes to pass in the House and the only reason McCarthy won't bring it to a vote is because the hard liners would motion to vacate the speakership. So the US will be plunged into chaos all because one guy doesn't want to lose his title. Cool democracy.

I've heard they're pretty good at long division.

“We need to flood the zone with conservatives,” said Paul Dans

An apt rewording of Bannon's famous quote.

A political party is a collection and assemblage of individuals who share a set of beliefs and principles and policy views about the United States of America.

Remember when the Republican party simply didn't put out a party platform running up to the 2020 election? They released a one page document that just said "We stand for whatever Donald Trump wants." That was weird, huh?

I agree. Guess I should have put a /s on the slogan. But it's still taking a portion of something that is technically owned by one person or group for the betterment of the community.

Some people see that as theft and so would call it stealing even though there isn't a law against it. My point is that this question is asked from a particular vantage point and what constitutes theft and the law may be different from one person to another.
