Even this can use some aditional context. SCOTUS took away a tool, nationwide injunctions, that judges were using to pause executive actions by presidents in both parties. They said that a class action was more appropriate, and a District Court judge has already certified a class for people affected by the birthright citizenship EO, and its accompanying injunction should go into effect by the end of the week.

This SCOTUS has been insanely cowardly in not taking on this stuff head-on, but I do tend to think that that other than Thomas and Alito, they think much of this shit is unconstitutional, so they're intentionally slow-playing it with narrow rulings, hoping the mid-terms and public opinion will save them from having to piss off Papa Trump and the MAGAs. It's disgraceful because it's hurting the country and real people, but hopefully it's not unfixable in a structural sense.

Agreed, which probably means they were on it because of stuff like documented previous flooding (like when it flooded in the fuckin' 80s and girls died) and that makes it all the more egregious that they worked to get themselves off of it. The camp owner is starting to seem less like a hero and more like someone feeling fully warranted shame and fearing divine judgment.

You're right, though the melodrama and swashbuckling of Space Opera definitely lend themselves more towards the soft sci-fi/sci-fantasy end of the spectrum. Sort of, "if the characters and plots don't need to bear much relation to the real world, why should the setting?"

Our new guy is a mutt (Embark DNA pending) and is still in the goony velociraptor phase, but he already plays with the older one there (only about 4, though) largely by driving him and nipping at heels, and he's learned to abuse the strap of "potty jinglebells" on the back door just to ask out to hunt for june bugs and investigate everything.

Oh, and our last pup who passed away was mostly Heeler and while he decided after a period as a stray that his ass wasn't going anywhere he didn't absolutely have to, he also did a great death-glare, making me question my life choices deep down to my soul. 🤣

And in particular, this product is a vanity computerized exhaust that almost certainly has at least one setting that violates Singapore's new noise restrictions, and possibly the emissions standards.

While even 6 days of actual jail for three motorcycles (and maybe that's all they could prove?) hits me as a little harsh, it also seems like the sort of thing Singaporeans have always dealt with for offenses that affect the QoL for other people. Not saying it was "justice" per se, but this is not the hill to die on, and it seems this guy fucked around and then found out.

At this point the only way to realistically get that squeeze is to create more districts that are "very safe" versus "locked in," and at least some Republicans will push back to save their own skin. Texas won't need to go blue for this to backfire or at least be of minimal impact.

This is as close as I get to optimism about state politics though.

Also the only food whose squeak can give cheese curds or calamari a run for their auditory money.

I'm not going to claim to fully understand the nuances, but the sea ice will melt at about -2C and glacial melt will deposit ~1C water into the system. If the deep water is steady at 3C or 4C, sending it up could accelerate melting of both.

Nope.

That is, instead of sinking into the depths, surface water is being replaced by deep water masses rising to the surface, bringing with them heat and carbon dioxide (CO₂) that had been trapped for centuries.

I had to look up that last part, as it seemed counter-intuitive, but apparently deep ocean water bottoms out at 4 degrees C.

In case you wanted to know, he’s a former executive for the NFL’s Tennessee Titans.

If they do, they're called waders.

We lost our older guy a couple of weeks ago, and he hated them, as did our three other dogs over the last twenty years. The younger one and the new puppy didn't seem to care that much, only getting a little jittery when we were outside and a particularly loud one went off.

First off, I actually agree with you that strawberry is better, though for strawberry I usually use jam or preserves. I do like grape jelly fine though.

Second, I’ll use this opportunity to describe the best way to make a PB&J. You need three pieces of bread and a toaster. Toast one and only one piece of bread. PB goes on the untoasted, and J on both sides of the toast, which now goes in the middle. Adds texture without altering the flavor profile or making it even messier like potato chips, and it improves the bread-to-filling ratio. Using PB-only on the untoasted slices also makes for a moisture barrier to keep the J from soaking through.

Late to the game on this one, but Thomas "Chyrosran22" reviewed this board. I watched it a while ago, but IIRC, it boiled down to "pretty mediocre board, but fine, elevated by the keycaps."

3, but the pajamas erasure here is unfortunate.

Sorry, I've just seen this one often enough and seen the comments that I may have assumed too much. I'll take my downvotes.

Yeah, yeah, stupid fat maga, whatever. Looks like they've both got a pretty big batch of laundry, and looking at the totality of the picture these are not likely to be wealthy people, and it being rural/suburban America, lord knows how far the laundromat is. This strikes me as unironically clever, and they're both keeping that mower deck out of the landfill and travelling using electric power.

Looks like Teenjus to me.
