All I got was a bigger plot that needed to be turned into a hole yesterday. Same shovel, just all dinged up and worn out now.

Sounds like someone has never seen MacGruber! Pointless and awkward absolutely but the value added was immeasurable.

The learning cliff of the X games is pretty intense but totally worth it. I made it through and just look at me now! I, err.. wasn't going to do anything better with those hundreds of hours anyway.

"Executives are paid so much more because they take on more responsibility and risk!" 🤣

Yep good call. I'm usually on my phone where tapping the link and swiping to go back is the natural behavior. I can scroll up and close the browser instead but habits are hard to break.

When did PC Gamer start hijacking the back button to show more ads? Infuriating.

Look it up? Of course it's going to vary by state, but for example Washington.

How does the elections department process my vote by mail (absentee) ballot securely?

We are all Estebiu alts.

Hell yes. Mine lived in my big hoodie pocket, hole poked through so I could run my headphone cable invisibly. Headphones lived in the hood when I wasn't wearing them (basically never). I was the coolest 🤣

The amount I "qualified for" when applying for a mortgage was fucking insane. I would be completely under water if I had taken the bank up on that full amount. I assume plenty of people jump at the chance to spend huge piles of money they don't have and will likely never have.

You're probably thinking of Simone Giertz and her "shitty robots"

Most of the 6,303-name purge stemmed from errors on paperwork at the Department of Motor Vehicles, officials said. In many cases, legal citizens simply forgot to check a box indicating citizenship, registrars and other elections officials said. In other cases, rather than trying to evade detection, people flagged themselves as noncitizens while filling out the voter registration forms that the DMV automatically generates during routine transactions, Susan Beals, the Youngkin-appointed state elections commissioner, told lawmakers last month.

Yep figured as much.

Thank you for detailing this. I'm no fan of OSX or Apple the company but the quality of their laptop hardware is undeniable. They're really good at it.

What a weird thing to do! They can sue each other until the cows come home for all I care but dragging the community into it like this comes off as petty imo. Musky even.

And some, or at least one, of them is a member of Congress.

We definitely have blackberries. We don't really have blackcurrants though, may be thinking of that?

They're significantly faster than boiling water on the stove here in the US too.

I have an electric kettle because I'm a tea drinker. Not gonna lie though, it did take a while before I realized I could just generally boil water in the thing. One day, looking directly at the kettle while I filled a pot with water, the dusty light bulb in my head finally lit up. 😅

Well that just sounds like New Jersey.

Please. With a motto that long you wouldn't be able to fully read the welcome sign before exiting the other side of the state.

That's why the motto is just "TAX FREE SHOPPING"

Yeah well peaches come from a can, and they were put there by a man.
