Hunter individually didn’t really deserve a pardon for tax offenses but I can understand it. Hopefully since we’re going full fuck it mode with presidential powers Biden can do something much more deserving of the powers like removing marijuana as a controlled substance and pardoning non-violent marijuana felons.
Waymo is doing the same. Mostly self-driving but when they get stuck a human at a help center takes the sticks. There are a lot of edge cases in the real world so it makes sense to just have the car programmed to be very conservative and let a human deal with it.
I guess it doesn’t matter at this point but it’s always weird to me that opponents can’t seem to acknowledge that Trump is a formidable political opponent. He’s good at talking to and engaging some groups of Americans which is why he managed to win twice.
TempleOS is the rabbit hole usb.
Basic economics was not a required class in my high school. Macro and Micro Economics were both electives.
Government really should be building housing themselves though and working on the zoning laws to make building easier. Even in a free market the government should be a competitor driving prices down to fair levels.
Measures like rent control don’t work because landlords are greedy. People end up staying in locations that don’t fit them anymore for the rent control, landlords try to chase those tenants away and don’t improve the property, new housing stops being developed and supply/demand get wrecked.
Measures like stimulus and tax rebates for first time buyers tends to increase the cost of real estate as well. It’s called a demand subsidy and generally isn’t a great way to tackle a supply problem. The individual home buyers will be helped at the expense of tax payer money and real estate cost - and the types of homes being bought aren’t necessarily the best use of land either depending.
Restricting companies from bulk purchasing and holding real estate seems like a good idea but again when you remove that new housing, especially multi-tenant housing, stops being built. Supply goes down prices shoot up…unless of course the government is willing to personally finance and build out the supply and keep prices fair.
Honestly I don’t want to give him more incentive to go full dictator by dangling a prison sentence over his head the moment he stops being president. They botched all these cases by waiting too long.
Most of the reporters I follow for sports/news have joined bluesky but not mastodon. At this point I think Bluesky is going to win the bulk of twitter exodus in the end and Mastodon will remain extremely niche.
I wonder how recent semaglutide (ozempic, wegovy, etc) will affect this. It’s just come into mainstream recently and it seems like it actually does have positive outcomes for weight loss and addiction. When availability increases and eventual price comes down with patent expiration in the next decade we might see a huge change in this data.
Use a butane insert. Still refillable but it’s sealed in well enough to last years of infrequent use.
The “people” bringing it up nonstop on social media might have been state actors or trolls but there were plenty of real people who followed the movement. They’re still “But Gaza!” people regardless of how the idea that they should abstain from voting got into their head.
Biden is going to be looked back upon extra fondly after the upcoming shit show we’re about to go through.

Let’s just watch none of them work on movements for ranked choice voting or other alternative voting systems and then tell me to throw my vote out again in four years.

We have, she wasn’t into it. She didn’t grow up gaming so she has a couple mobile time waster games and then just overcooked is the one we replay all the time…I’m worn out on overcooked but she loves it.
Well deserved. My wife doesn’t game but still had fun with it. This and overcooked are the only ones that have really worked for her.

It’s default 2.5G WAN and 1G LAN. It also has wifi to use some of that bandwidth.
