Yup. The *real* reason that 80,000 additional IRS agents is a threat to them. An under-resourced IRS means they can cheat under the radar.

They dropped off a couple "we miss you, come back" papers on my driveway. Nothing would convince me to subscribe ever again.

The (little) Mac Mini that refuses to stop working. (Mid-2007 Core 2 2GHz). SSD upgrade and a 32-bit EFI - despite being 64-bit CPU cores...

If you can't come out right now, please don't hate yourself.
One day, the meaning of labels will disappear.

Please love yourself as you are.
The one who can cherish yourself the most is yourself.
Because that is your strength and beauty.
Chiitan loves you

Might as well mistyped "slop juice". Would have been more accurate.

Used to pay $$$ to take direct instead of routing through JFK. The airline eliminated that direct flight, so now I drive 8+ hrs one way to avoid it.

Now our Heathrow experience:
plane->10 min bus->gate->next gate over->15 min bus->plane 2 spots over from the one we just got off of = priceless.

I heard what I thought was some company dropping a rollaway dumpster down the street.

Turns out someone going too fast in a 35 mph zone, hit a light pole and flipped their car. (Everyone walked away unharmed, the pole definitely didn't - it shattered into pieces)

In a couple years, just duplicate the "eradicated / decimated" list and change the title to "rejuvenated", unfortunately.

The sales team would have a hard time selling the product based on the <insert ancient technology> this stuff is built on.

At this point it's almost a pissing contest where "our AI models hallucinate less than theirs!" counts as a positive selling point..

The Obamas came to a Cajun restaurant in my city during his presidency. Secret Service swept the place, but only confiscated all the steak knives. That was it - no one was interviewed or BG checked.

But considering the "attempt" on him, yeah this is way too close quarters.

Between ICE grabbing US citizens the daily flow of legally dubious defamation from official US Government channels, and the ever present tax breaks for people and companies who do not need nor deserve them, we'll be adding a healthy amount to the national debt. Bigly. Some say the best amount.

And when Eric Adams caves and welcomes them in, his single-digit support will fall even further. His time to act is NOW, not when the jackboots are marching into the Boroughs.

Makes you wonder how much the UFC is paying WE THE PEOPLE for use of OUR White House and other D.C. facilities?

(Just kidding, if any money is changing hands it's probably going to some Trump family PAC/slush fund that flouts the line of candidate involvement)

Hey, when the head of a government agency is instructing the agency to declare a link to something, it's not proof. It's bunk science, and a dangerous precedent.

I find it hard to believe that the Heritage Foundation, that seemingly has a ton of (bad) opinions of everything under the sun, just happens to have skipped over having a take on gender intelligence...

Aww, not Wargames again!

One of my teachers' only sub plans were "play Wargames, hand out quiz."

I think I took at least a dozen of those in Jr/Sr year - all observational questions about the film, no questions repeated from one test to the next.
