WTF is $11K in the face of decimated property values, a ruined ecology, and a gigantic question mark for the personal health of anybody within miles of ground zero?
What a slap in the face. I’d be jihadi-levels of pissed off.
Rechargeable is key here. Amazon has them for under $10. There’s no going back.

Excellent tool. Great to be able to really drill down by make, model, and year. Quite powerful. Saving.
Well, when you couch it in those terms…
“During the last occasion where plaintiff performed oral sex as demanded by Alvarado-Gil, Plaintiff suffered a back injury while performing in a car seat with his body having to twist and contort in the confined space of the car,” according to the lawsuit. “Plaintiff later went to the doctor and discovered that the injury was more severe, and that plaintiff had suffered three herniated discs in his back and a collapsed hip.”
Condit later underwent hip surgery for his injuries.
Heh heh. Heh. The jokes: they write themselves.
Learn a paid skill you can do with your hands. Welding, painting, HVAC, long-line fishing, building PC’s, anything. Get proficient.
You may never use it again. Hopefully you develop a skill-set that pays you better/is less physically demanding/is sexier.
But you will never starve and may be able to feed your family even if your primary occupation falls out of favor.
People either enhance or diminish your life. Very few are neutral.
Treat them accordingly.
High effort post. Excellent read.
Ew.
Agreed. But even metaphorically, ew.
Ice cream.
Toilet paper.
Get the good stuff or don’t get it at all.

Behold the wily wordsmith @dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world and his exhaustive treatment of this mass-produced masterpiece, the best knife $10 will buy:
@dual_sport_dork laying the lumber per usual
Edit: got one coming. D_s_d likes it? I like it. $10? Fine.
Edit: arrived today. Every word of the review is legit. Arguably the best $10 knife in existence. Buying a handful more for thoughtful but meaningless gifts; you know the kind.
Well done the both of you
I see BTiLC reference, I upvote. Simple.
At least the cake day bot seems to be working.
Happy cake day and many pleasant returns!
From the article:
Campaign spokesperson Ammar Moussa said Trump was “throwing tantrums online and today at his country club for the media” because he wasn’t getting the attention he craves.
“The self-obsessed, convicted felon is incensed he’s not in the spotlight as Vice President Harris and Governor Walz barnstorm the nation talking about their vision for an America of opportunity and security — where freedom and democracy are protected and everyone has a fair shot not just to get by, but to get ahead,” he said.
“Trump has no vision, he has no solutions, and he is running a campaign of revenge and retribution to enact his Project 2025 agenda and make people’s lives worse. It’s why voters will reject him again at the ballot box this November.”
Moussa with the beatdown 😬
This after the Harris campaign called Trump “the most insecure man in America.”
That’s gotta sting just a bit.
Car insurance is relatively simple. I shop around, telling them how much coverage I want. They request my driving history, and give me a quote. At any time, I can shop around and change insurance policies without any problems. Once it’s time to collect payment, it’s a relatively simple matter. What ...
Looking for recommendations on good quality, affordable, technical (lightweight, low cotton, high stretch) pants (no zip off legs, please) that will travel well, largely wrinkle free, and can dress up and down depending on pairings. Trying to avoid the cargo pant look. Does such a thing exist, or is it like the old saying: good cheap or fast, pick two?
Democratic Senator Joe Manchin, who last week announced he will retire from the Senate at the end of next year, added to his party's woes on Wednesday when he said he "absolutely" would consider running for president in 2024.
Yes please! Do it, Joe!
If you could only re-experience from new one game (like total immersion, wide-eyed wonder-at-the-majesty-of-it-all re-experience) and had yet to pick a console (Xbox versus PlayStation), what game on which console and why? (and feel free to remark on ideal controllers, add-ons, etc.)
I was hoping Starfield might be that kind of galvanizing experience, but the reviews are pretty underwhelming. So now casting about for the real deal.
U.S. Senator Tim Scott suspended his run for the 2024 Republican presidential election nomination on Sunday after months of burning through campaign cash at a blistering rate without making a significant dent in national opinion polls.
Buh bye
Five candidates seeking to halt Donald Trump’s march toward the 2024 Republican presidential nomination gathered in Miami on Wednesday for the party’s third debate while the former president held a separate campaign rally across town.
Quote of quotes:
“I’m sick of Republicans losing,” Florida Governor Ron DeSantis said.
Limber up there, Rhonda!
The U.S. House Oversight Committee said on Wednesday it will issue subpoenas to President Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden, and brother, James Biden, to appear for depositions, in an escalation of its impeachment inquiry into the president.
Yet more kabuki theater
Hardline conservative Jim Jordan pressed ahead with his floundering bid for speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives on Thursday, after his fellow Republicans abandoned a backup plan to allow the leaderless chamber to resume business.
And this just hours after agreeing to back McHenry. Spectacular!
Combative right-wing Republican Jim Jordan failed to win a first vote on Tuesday to serve as speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, but more votes were expected to follow that could wear down his opponents.
(Channeling my inner Nelson)- HaHa!!!
Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives on Friday nominated hardliner Jim Jordan for speaker, setting up a vote that will test whether he can surmount the party divisions that led Steve Scalise to abandon his bid.
This guy is a real glutton for punishment
Republicans in the battleground states of Michigan and Arizona are paying a high price for their full-throated support of former President Donald Trump and his lie that the 2020 election was stolen from him.
Suspended Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton will not testify in his upcoming impeachment trial in the state Senate, his lawyer said late on Monday, indicating Paxton would fight efforts that may aim to compel a testimony from him.
A republican impeached by republicans? I’m sure this is fine.
The Indiana Supreme Court on Friday upheld a law banning nearly all abortions in the state, lifting a lower court order that had blocked the law in response to a lawsuit by Planned Parenthood and other abortion providers.
In state after state, conservative lawmakers this year have banned medical procedures for transgender youth. Now, a growing number of federal judges are blocking those laws from taking effect.
The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday decided - for now - not to weigh in on the legality of judges increasing prison sentences for criminal defendants based on charges for which they were acquitted - a practice that critics have said violates basic constitutional rights.
The U.S. Supreme Court's conservative-majority ruling letting certain businesses refuse to provide services for same-sex marriages could impact an array of customers beyond LGBT people, according to the court's liberal justices. But experts were divided over how far this ripple effect could spread.
Thwarted by the conservative-leaning court, Biden told reporters that his administration would pursue student loan relief through a different avenue, the Higher Education Act.
The justices ruled in a 6-3 decision favoring states that objected to the policy. The action dealt a blow to the 26 million U.S. borrowers who applied for relief after Joe Biden announced the plan in August 2022 and marks a political setback for the president.
The video attacked Donald Trump's past statements in support of gay rights.
Bigoted fascist called out by slightly less bigoted fascists for bigoted behavior.
