Dems should fight on every front.

If Texas steals 5 seats, Dem states should redistrict 30 GOP members out of their districts.

We should insist DOJ release the entire Epstein File.

Not only shouldn't we bring knives to a gun fight, if they bring pistols, we should bring machine guns.

Aforementioned dualing cat window beds!

Feel free to reach out if you have questions...we've introduced so many cats and kittens in our house that it's basically second nature to me now.

(for better or worse)

One of those two kittens took to pooping in the bathroom sink until we put out the third litterbox, for example.

That's just what cats need/want.

Violate this rule at your own peril. They (usually the current cat) will make the displeasure known...by way of going where there are no litterboxes.

We tried every way around this, and even with two kittens from the same litter, we needed three boxes.

Number of litterboxes = number of cats + 1.

Trust me on this.

Definitely, but in absolutely zero ways that need government meddling.

So, the guy who's entire business model was licensing his name and likeness wants to prevent college players from...licensing their name and likeness?

He's really going to piss MAGA off even more, messing with college football...

Why isn't there a really slick docs solution for Laravel? Seems like an obvious thing to have already solved and it be a seamless part of the ecosystem.

Even the "worst" home grown tomato is better than the water-flavored garbage in grocery stores these days.

The biggest issue with the whole eat out vs cook debate is few truly understand how expensive it is to be very poor in the US.

"Just go to Costco and buy in bulk!" would not have been possible for my family growing up (not that there was any place like that close enough anyhow).

It's not "like they think of". They think of ways to do it. On purpose.

The cruelty is the point.

After $380M hack, Clorox sues its β€œservice desk” vendor for simply giving out passwords Massive 2023 hack was easily preventable, Clorox says.

This is mind-blowing how poorly Cognizant handled this...during and after. Literally providing the passwords and then saying "Well, Clorox shouldn't have let that work"?

The $380MM is going to be a slam dunk.

Certainly don't consider a meat grinder either. You'd have to do things like make sausage or custom mixes of ground beef for burgers, etc.

My dad has one as he hunts and processes animals from a friend's hobby farm on occasion. That thing is magic. His jerky game is top notch with being able to slice it so thin and even.

Those are normal AC compressors, Mike.

Tossing in a couple of window units a couple months out of the year doesn't cut it down here! 😭

I let a goat from my local zoo run SQL commands against prod without protection and it nuked my data
