I’m very curious what they’d say it needs to pass in order to be “proven”.

And then I’m curious if a pack of ground beef from the grocery store would be able to meet the same standard

Interestingly, SEATAC airport has started doing exactly that in (at least Concourse D). It’s one big long hallway with sinks on one wall and floor-to-ceiling doors for the toilets. And a separate room off to the back with a sliding door for urinals. They’ve got enough toilets that wait times aren’t too atrocious

I was incredibly mad before I realized I was reading George Soros, not George Santos. Now I’m only kinda mad

Cancel culture only really is a thing when the person on the receiving end is capable of feeling the tiniest shred of embarrassment/remorse for what they’ve done (not being caught). People fade into obscurity when they get “cancelled” because the massive outcry from the public convinces them they can’t ignore that what they’re doing is wrong anymore. In the case of most fascist hucksters (as well as Mr Beast), they are incapable of seeing that what they’ve done is wrong, so they can never be convinced of the need to stop

Given that NATO mandates 2% GDP on defence, they’re pulling their weight. Estonia is not a large country, so $1.5B goes a lot further there than in larger nations.

As someone who has basically come to see “memecoin” and “scam” as synonyms, I have a hard time having any sympathy for anyone who puts money into this shit. Everyone knows that the endgame of every memecoin is for the creator to walk away with all the profit, right? Enough incidental people win a bit of money to keep everyone gambling that they can beat the scam, but everyone has to know that they’re feeding the scam when they buy in, right?

Abrams turrets are steeper and slope down towards the hull more. And the turret is overall thicker too, I think. Those are definitely Russian tanks, but my expertise on identifying Russian models is sadly lacking

It’s been unlikely to ever deploy again since the floating drydock it was in caught fire and almost sank the damn boat

Yeah but doesn’t adding the extra flex cable to make it more frustrating to disassemble seem like just the sort of thing Apple would do to discourage user modifications? Apple doesn’t like the kind of users who know how to tinker with and upgrade computers

Idk, come January, I’d be pretty okay with the president and vice president trying to kill each other.

Once again, this ball is entirely within China’s court. If they don’t invade Taiwan, then there won’t be a war. If they do invade Taiwan, then there’s gonna be a fucking war.

Strictly speaking, the losing bidder offered more cash, but the victims families offered concessions in the amount of damages they’d seek as part of The Onions offer, which would bring the total value of The Onions offer to higher, and that’s why they won.

Hopefully it would’ve just been “[full name], an [occupation] from [city, state]”, but I suppose we never know

Jesus christ you know it’s bad when you agree with John fucking Bolton. Those two are, at best, treasonous Russian assets.

If it was meant in a “lay off me” or “get off my back” way, I think “stop busting my balls” would be an accurate translation

Could that be translated more colloquially to “stop busting my balls”?

In the offhand chance this is a genuine question, it’s because a large number of people in this country are essentially traumatized at the prospect of a pedophile, convicted felon, rapist, fascist in the white house, and schools know that students who are so preoccupied won’t be able to learn/pay attention in class, so they give them a break to allow time to focuse on processing the trauma from the election.

In contrast to the rest of the commenters, I don’t think so. I’ve got the Z Flip 5, and the battery life isn’t great, after a year of use, the hinge is a little looser than I’d like, and the phone is just slightly narrower than the last couple phones I’ve owned, which means I’ve somehow not managed to adjust to the keyboard size after a year, and my typing accuracy is awful.

Wouldn’t that potentially give us a democrat as VP, based on the speaker of the house (assuming the house stays blue) being moved up to VP?

Ah so you voted for trump. Good to know.
