Advisors in meeting: “We have a clear path to 270 as long as they focus on single issue voters who care most ab-”
Trump interrupts everyone to talk about how boring this meeting is, invites everyone to order McDonald’s with him.
JD rubs chin pensively, thinking about a single issue to focus on, something easy which does not involve walking into a donut shop
JD has a really weird fixation on cats. Cat ladies, grilling cats, cats cats cats. Has JD ever bummed a cat? We’ll never know but it makes me wonder
Be me, have a circadian rhythm disorder, pop some gummies and trazodone and play Switch in bed until brain shuts off, spend 10 nights wandering around Gnoll Stronghold in Baldur’s Gate 1 trying to help Minsc find Dynaheir before I crash. Wander around everywhere multiple times, wtf, did she die of boredom? Finally decide to turn screen brightness up. She right there. Gnolls quit spawning, placed on endangered species list
You’d have to determine when the camera turns on in order to determine when it shuts off. If it’s 30 on 10 off, you stay still for >40 seconds to ensure the camera is idle and ready to record, and then you spin, you can ensure camera turns on at your spinning, and then you know it’ll shut off on your 30 seconds, and you’re totally synced to the 40s cycle
The problem isn’t scarcity in resources or lack of available work, the problem is that everything is zero sum and resources wind up locked out because there are a couple hundred assholes that look at numbers on a screen like it’s the only thing that validates their existence.
People are starving and can’t buy houses because people like Bezos or whoever have 20,000 million dollars they’ll never use sitting in some bank account they forgot about, but they need more, so they disenfranchise the class that brings them wealth.
Less jobs = better margins, but that all rests on the assumption that people absolutely must work full time and for the lowest bid
We all may as well grab shovels and bury the wealth of the Earth in a big hole in the ground because that’s what happens when we inflate the worth of the wealthy. Resources just vanish into the ether
Hold up, so I can just stand still in a room for >30 seconds to sync the timing, then spin in a circle for 32 seconds, then sprint right up to the camera and rip it off the wall?
when my wife, mom and dad ask about what I want for a party
Tell them what you want for your birthday, even if it’s ‘something quiet and small’ or anything along those lines, give them time to respect your wishes. I went on a nature walk with my wife for my 40th, blew the minds of my super-extroverted in-laws, but hey, that’s me, who I am.
When people start assuming you’d want something even though you don’t, might make you feel obligated to do that something, might make you feel weird for not wanting to, but you’re you and they might be having a hard time wrapping their head around it (might ask you ‘really’ multiple times), but do you and they’ll respect it
Hundreds and hundreds. Stop drop and roll
In a situation like this I just cap all the wires. Some say the exposed ground is okay, but it’s even more okay if it’s capped. If the hot wires are capped, no need for ground, so ground gets capped, that type of deal
MAGA terrorists have assaulted newspeople, destroyed cameras, whole 9 yards. Might be some of that mixed in with everything else. Fear of retaliation or whatnot. Most of these people have public-facing jobs with little to no security detail and Trump’s supporters range from civil to psychotic
Media outlet: “X did this horrible thing”
Also media outlet: links directly to X, giving them free revenue for doing said horrible thing
Trump is untrainable lol
They’re praying he doesn’t ‘just be himself’ but they’re unwilling to admit that he’s just a horrible candidate who deserves to have things blow up in his face due to his impulsivity. The guy can’t even control himself let alone a country
One thing to do is to check thrift stores for old busted ass Kirby or comparable vacuum cleaners. Even an Oreck XL. Those old tanks are usually nothing more than a motor, belt, and switch so they’re pretty easy and cheap to fix. No circuit boards or anything, very much ‘buy it for life’ but once in a while you might spot one sitting around for 10-20 bucks/euros in some thrift store because the belt is off a little and the owner mistakenly thought it’s a really expensive repair and dumped it off
“All-cause mortality” simply means death from all (or any) causes.
So for smokers, you got a buttload of people with this thing in common, and rather than look specifically at something like deaths from lung cancer, you take a step back and look at deaths from anything. And then go in and try to find correlations and help to understand those correlations.
It’s kind of a chicken and egg scenario, because some of those causes might not be from smoking, but from a person’s proclivity to smoke.
For example, smokers might possibly be more impulsive than non-smokers (generally speaking) and there might be a higher risk of motor vehicle fatalities in the smoker group, but the cause wouldn’t be smoking, it’d be underlying behavioral differences that would make someone more likely to smoke.
It’s basically looking at mortality from a distance as opposed to looking at very specific things up close (but with the data it lets people zoom in on everything)
It’s transmitted by mosquitoes so good luck dodging that. Most infections are asymptomatic or have mild symptoms so if anything, he got diagnosed simply by being who he is and having a social circle which is mostly medical professionals. Probably got a headache and decided to scratch an intellectual itch by getting tested, not much to it
For one, pharma is hugely profitable
This is just like Uber and Lyft threatening to pull out of markets when the taxes go up a bit. The horror, they’ll have slightly shittier margins and can’t survive with slightly less profit
As a Minnesotan who pops gummies every night, I can safely say I have no idea how many leaves are on a marijuana, but a maple is 3 points with 3 points on each of them and 2 teeny tiny little legs at the bottom
I’ve never been rear ended but then I bought my G37 and it was suddenly happening on a yearly basis. In the span of one year, I had a truck back into it when it was parked in our parking lot, got rear ended in traffic, then had a car reverse into me at a stop sign (driver pulled forward to make a turn but decided they couldn’t make it so threw it in reverse and gunned it). I may have been rear ended a second time that year but it’s hard to keep track of how many people drove into this car. After a while I quit making claims because that was a pain in the ass, bumpers look like I use it to nudge cars around a junkyard.
Edit: and the thing that makes the frequency really wild is that I used it mainly to commute ~2 miles to work, so I was in that thing less than 30 minutes a day
