the fact that this is the worst-merchandised franchise in the world is incredibly annoying

I can’t agree with this more. It’s insane the disparity between ST merch and Star Wars merch. It’s like Trek stuff is always the “Wish version” of what the people behind Star Wars are putting out. Lego is a good example, they’ve put out hundreds of Star Wars sets over decades while Star Trek is relegated to the shitty knockoff Lego-clone companies who think they can charge as much as Lego for what they offer.

I just buy a cheap jumbo pack from Amazon. They’re like 15 bucks and last for years which is good enough for me.

Generally because you’re buying cheaper ones that aren’t built as well. Heat destroys LEDs and the cheap bulbs generally use fewer individual LEDs running at higher power to produce a given output in lumens. More expensive bulbs use more LEDs at lower power to achieve the same light output so that they’re not constantly being overdriven and last much longer.

So, if I understand this correctly, this woman is being sued by the state if California for making a list of bad cops using knowledge that she may have obtained prior to her working for the DA’s office? Isn’t that fucking special. What are they going to do about the bad cops?

I read that the ballots need to be printed within the next week so this ensures that the measure will be on the ballot in Missouri.

That probably just scraped off from the other plane like when a car leaves an imprint of their license plate during a crash.

I’m not a fan of Tabasco so I wholeheartedly say “nay.” If we’re talking classic Sriracha or something less vinegary, then by all means “yea”.

Don’t forget to stock up on masks and toilet paper while you’re at it.

I know there are several similar channels so maybe I’m mixed up, but wasn’t this the one where they found out the guy was using machinery to create his projects off camera and claiming it was all done by hand?

I’ll just leave this here: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/105-behind-the-bastards-29236323/episode/part-one-the-not-at-all-sad-history-of-89890804/

A law banning Bill Gates gate scandals would be called: Bill Gates gate-gate bill.

Nah it’s a counter to statements like this: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/28/us/politics/biden-speech-economy-chicago.html

That’s all fine and dandy until you get court ordered to attend these meetings as if it were a scientifically proven method of quitting drinking. It’d be like doing something bad and then being court ordered to attend church so that you can “gain a moral compass.”

Pretty sure this stuff already exists in some form. /r/datahoarder people would probably be able to steer you in the right direction though you may need to lay out several thousand for enough HDDs to hold it.

No, but an old sock full of batteries might.

I’m sure with a little late night cruise, you’ll have no trouble finding a cheap handy to pickup.

Hopefully. I want to get one that makes my farts sound like a circa 2005 Fast and Furious Honda Civic.

Gross. Having Gatorade will 100% make me vomit the morning after a night of heavy drinking since it’s loaded with sugar. Water, greasy food or pho, and a puff or two from a weed cart is the proper way to alleviate a hangover. If you want some electrolytes, pour some salt into your water.

Also, drinking a ton of water and eating before bed helps too.
