I used my PC to wake up my android phone; there a Google thing that will make it don’t for five minutes even if it’s on silent. The two times that wasn’t easily accessible, I asked someone nearby to call my phone. Once I found it immediately; the other time, I found it later from the “missed call” beep.

I think that only applies to Texans.

Many old tv shows had lyrics, they used the musical version. Hawaii Five-O, Hogan’s Heroes, MASH, I Dream of Jeannie, I Love Lucy, The Dick Van Dyke Show, etc.

omg, speed, why has no one said ‘speed’ yet? An hour-long tv show was 350mb, and it took three days to download.

Plus the electoral college. Florida and Texas were becoming increasingly purple until the Republicans in charge of those states made them into alt-right hellholes.

While multiple Trump allies described what happened, last night, as a missed opportunity, for the former President, they have since started downplaying the debate’s significance overall, arguing that it won’t shift his numbers, with voters, in states like Pennsylvania.

They’re very likely correct.

Does that mean that AI can successfully read handwriting? I have some very old family letters, but I think I’m the last generation that’ll be able to read them.

You put red pepper flakes on your pizza sometimes, yeah? She just likes hers in liquid form.

I like the last line:

I’m saying you can’t say those things for that reason.

So Fuentes says that Trump can’t admit Trump lost, because that makes everything they did senseless. Which is what we’ve been saying all along. I mean, we were all trying to tell you Trump was lying, the newspapers and lawyers and courts were telling you he was lying, and you choose to listen to and believe in the wrong people.

Now, here’s the thing: having come to this realization, that you were listening to the wrong people, and having suffered some of the consequences of that, why are you still listening to and believing these people?!?

You don’t speak the local language; are you looking to learn, to try to connect with the locals? An extended bus trip can provide that. If you’re just trying to get from one place to another, personally, I’d take the plane.

Edit: did cross-county USA twice by bus: NYC to SF, and a few years later LA to Philly. It was an interesting experience. I’m glad I did those trips, and I’ll by happy to not ever have to do them again.

iirc, they have to start printing the ballots by early next week, to comply with deadlines in getting the early ballots out to voters in time. Fucking conservatives trying to run out the clock so that there isn’t enough time [oops so sorry] to have the measure on the ballot.

Interestingly, that same CNBC report finds that households that earn less than $50,000 a year typically fall under that first category, less than $500 in checking. Those earning up to $75,000 have less than $5,000 in checking, while those households earning more than $200,000 have at least $10,000 in checking.

How is that interesting?! “Oh, hey, look at this! The people who make the least have the least in checking, while those who make the most have more!” wtf kind of revelation is that?

Por que no los dos?

Maybe French ketchup is different than American ketchup?

Pros: high protein food

Cons: makes a spoon dirty

Suggested improvements to recipe: note to thoroughly lick spoon clean, or use a finger to swipe up the peanut butter.

This is for people who might not have pasta sauce in their pantry, but most people will have ketchup in the fridge.

Rich Apartheid White boy says what?

Fuck it, if that’s how we go that’s how we go.

Be faster than climate change.

Jodie Foster has an IQ of like 132, and graduated from Yale.

Las Vegas police are refusing to comply with the NFL’s new plan to use facial recognition technology for stadium employees during games. Even though police often use facial recognition to identify suspects, they say giving their biometric data to an unaccountable company crosses a line.
