All about that base.
That's impressively well-prepared! My trunk only has jumper cables, and I was feeling pretty proud of myself until just now. :-)
I am just pointing out that the academic pressure on Silicon Valley kids can be excessive, in my opinion.
His eldest granddaughter, Kai Trump - her dad is Don Jr.
Does “Lysenko” ring a bell?
This is partly due to high schools in the Silicon Valley being ridiculously high-pressure environments. Many kids there are told that their entire value hinges on their grades.
No thanks. I will not wear a camera on my face for someone else's benefit.
Deeply relaxing
Vote! Right now! Vote every day! Keep voting!
Roughly half of the country
100% - ("large % of your population seems to be enamoured with Cheeto Head) == the % of our population who agrees with you.
No, we do not think that.
"unpleasantness" ?!
She is Lori Chavez-DeRemer. She is from Oregon, and was in the US House for one term, and then got beaten by Janelle Bynum. Then Trump appointed her to be the Secretary of Labor.
And then they have the gall to reject advice from Gordon Ramsey.
With great power comes great responsibility. Enjoy the cake!
My son is an actuary. I am a bit annoyed that he hasn’t mentioned the tens of millions of dead people. /s
thanks
Sure thing! Although "Wired" magazine now says "The investment will be funded by $5.7 billion in grants Intel was awarded under the 2022 CHIPS Act and $3.2 billion the company was awarded as part of the Secure Enclave program, the press release says." Which is *NOT* HOW GRANTS WORK!!!
Well, I do *now*! Thanks a bunch, Benjamin! :-)
Trump claims that no money went to buy shares. The shares were extorted from the CEO with nothing given in exchange.
He did not spend any money. He arm-twisted the CEO into handing over 10% of the company for nada. Just like he has arm-twisted universities and law firms.
My wife and I stopped for directions at a gas station in North Carolina. (This was in the days before cell phones and online maps.) The nice young man gave us a lengthy explanation of the route. We did not understand a single word. We thanked him and drove off.
NYT knew back in July that the Adams campaign was bribing reporters, but decided to not report on that.
Have you endorsed Mamdani yet?
It’sa me! Mario!
He is at one of his other seven million dollar houses.
This farce is a waste of everyone’s time.
Wait, there is a Postal Police?
Just give some money to Trump directly. Then you can do whatever you want.
I have taken carts upstairs at the Portland IKEA - using the elevator. No problem at all.

The city planning committee did, in fact, approve the permit for the farmers market. (After listening to NIMBY idiots for two hours.)
One person complained that people who commuted to a nearby Apple building rode their bicycles down "her street."
I went to a city planning meeting in Cupertino (home of Apple). People there were opposed to opening a farmers market. They said that it would lead to traffic, graffiti, and public urination. The Silicon Valley is a sea of overly expensive houses and not much else.
South Carolina has wanted to invade DC since 1861. Now the US President has invited them.
I learned this just now.
No one is reselling the Mac & Cheese that we served to ninety hungry people in Portland last weekend.
My background includes about a half dozen of these things.
Universal healthcare?
A keeper
Portland, Oregon here. Same story.
Martial law
Yes! Many job listings include silly requirements such as “must be proficient in XYZ WizProduct version 13.2” — which is ridiculously specialized and irrelevant to the actual potential of a candidate.
Imagine that. /s
I also did not predict that those decorations would appear in stores a full three months before Halloween.

Future imaginary software is always more attractive than software that actually exists.
This is not an "interview with Joaquin Oliver." He is dead. You are playing a video game. And I am unfollowing you for being a click-seeking charlatan.
We need just one reporter willing to risk their precious "access" by asking a follow-up question.
The Democrats are fighting, but they are outnumbered and outvoted.
Your books are very informative and easy to follow. I just bought my copy!
Why the black borders? Did someone die?
Maybe Dan Bongino would like to ride a horse. He is miserable sitting behind a desk.
I saw a college production of La Cenerentola. Before the show, they announced that the lead was fighting off a cold, but she would do her best. She sang wonderfully, except for the final top note in the final song. Her voice failed entirely on that one note. She got a standing ovation.
I am average. I will never do that.
Absolutely not this book, which is horrible: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sto...
Mike Mulligan and his Steam Shovel
Thinking back thirty years (ouch, really?) . . . anything by Dr. Seuss, Corduroy, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, Goodnight Moon, "Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?", Elephant and Piggy books ("We Are In a Book"), Sesame Street books ("The Monster at the End of this Book")
And European reporters ask follow-up questions that stay on topic.
I have solar panels on my roof, and batteries in my garage.

To be fair, Melania Trump *does* remind me of Carmen.
I could use a nap.

Yes. This is confirmed in the text of the article, and explicitly noted by Elon Musk in a tweet linked by the article.
Fruity and clovey? Yuck.
I voted for Harris.
Coat with a thin layer of olive oil.
Democrats lost those elections because they followed the advice of people like these two clowns.
And for the slideshow at the wedding reception!
Your neighbor is sending you a secret message, using a clever scheme that uses two colors to encode binary text. Sending that message to you is going to take a while.
"Thank you for your attention to this matter."
Can you explain it to the rest of us?
“Deplorables?”
Almost every fuckery started with Reagan.
“The Metric Board was abolished in 1982 by President Ronald Reagan, largely on the suggestion of Frank Mankiewicz and Lyn Nofziger.” — Wikipedia
“Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?” — Henry II

Can confirm. I was in the Computer Science department at UNC Chapel Hill, aver long time ago. Many professors there owned Saabs.
Did he not remember or is he just lying again?
“Kickback” brings to mind the numerous FIFA bribery scandals.
That looks great. Which pub?
I was overzealous in my weeding near the roots of a squash plant. It is now very droopy, and I am trying to make amends with lots of water and frequent visits. :-)
What a wonderful transformation! Congratulations!

Wow! Very nice.
Way ahead of you. Not going to Florida, for many reasons.

Many years ago, my local pizza joint was owned by a really nice young guy. Terrible pizza. A heartbreaking dilemma.
