“Every time, all the time. Like, ‘How are you doing?’ ‘Where’s the ballroom?’ ‘How you playing [golf]?’ ‘I don’t know, I’d play better if you built the ballroom.’ It’s all the time,” Graham said with a chuckle. “He understands what’s missing.”

Not even Lindsey can hide the fact that the President fixates on things like a three-year-old

It is possible that DeWalt designs and manufactures its own batteries, and there is some clever tech in them that makes them superior to other batteries, or that they pay for high quality components that make them last longer.

However, it is just as likely that they buy the batteries themselves “off the shelf”, put them in a custom plastic enclosure, slap their label on them, and sell them for an insane markup. Sometimes, they don’t even need the custom enclosure and they just buy someone else’s finished battery product. The “off-brand” option may be the exact same product.

It’s not unethical to use off-brand batteries, but then if you buy a substandard one that causes a problem the manufacturer may use that as an excuse to deny their warranty claim. But when was the last time you replaced a tool under warranty?

Pretty much the easiest question for a sitting leader to just bullshit through

Right, but he was never a leader. He’s a boss. And the type of boss who expects people to just do what he says, without any questions. Simply asking a question is a sign of disloyalty!

Not true! MAGA has had other important (to them) accomplishments, like harassing brown people and protecting pedophiles.

Socialism: If you have two cows, you give one to your neighbor.

Communism: If you have two cows, you give them to the government and the government then gives you some milk.

If it’s coupled with DC Statehood, why not?

Did you see her picture, though? I don’t think she is “his type”. Totally the wrong demographic

It can be anxiety inducing the first time you do anything on your own like that. Rest assured, though, that you are not the only young adult feeling this way. Just do it, make a few mistakes in the process, and then you will be fine. Plus, you will know better next time.

With regards to the passport photo, it’s fine, just look at the guidelines thoroughly as they are very specific in terms of your background and stuff. In particular, you’re not supposed to use a selfie, because the angle will be all wrong. (You can use a cell phone pic with the proper background and lighting, they just recommend that someone else actually take the picture at the proper angle). Having said that, my last passport pic was a selfie which I took from arms length, and they accepted it…

Pete Rose may be gone, but his spirit lives on

Hit up Polymarket, move the proceeds to crypto, move yourself to a non-extradition country, then spill the beans. It’s much easier to be on the wrong side of the US military industrial complex when you don’t have to rely on working for income.

Well no, you miss my point. You need to look at the election just like any other State election. Harris won the election to be President in California, for instance, and Trump won the election to be President in Wyoming, by the normal rules every other election uses.

Its in the combination where people get shafted. Californians cast more than 15 million votes to determine 54 EC votes, or something like 278k votes per EC vote. But Wyoming only cast 262k votes total. Divided by their 3 EC votes it only took 88k votes to “count” for one EC vote.

So the votes count equally in each state, but when they are combined in the EC a Wyoming vote has over 3x more “power” than a California vote.

House Seats are reallocated based on population after each census. There’s even an algorithm for it.

The real problem is that the size of the House has been fixed. It didn’t use to be this way. They used to add seats after each census, but about 100 years ago they couldn’t agree on how to add them, so they stopped, and the size of the House has been fixed since then.

So while the average district size is now around 750k, the smallest districts are in states like Rhode Island, where the population is in the 500k range, and they still get one House member. (But not all small states benefit: the largest district is Delaware’s lone district, which has over 900k people in it but is not large enough to split in two yet.)

I bet if they had kept adding, there might be 575 or so members , with an average district size below 600k.

Think of the Electoral College as simply a weighted sum of each state’s Presidential Election. All the votes count the same, but only at the State level. Once a state goes for one candidate or the other, the popular vote is “converted” into EC votes.

The EC weighting is based on the state’s total representation in Congress, and while the House is allocated (roughly) by population, each State gets two Senators. So, even the smallest states are guaranteed 3 EC votes.

I didn’t quite remember this character (even after all the times my kids watched this show), so I looked him up, and it turns out the voice actor is one of the creator’s kids. So, he sounded like a “real boy” because he was.

The character’s entire purpose for existing was to provide some royalty checks to the kid.

It’s not a gift, gifts would be unethical! It’s a gratuity. See the difference?

All you can do is go slower, and hope the traffic around you realizes what you are doing. Try to slow down when approaching the intersection earlier so it’s not all so sudden.

There is a left turn lane near where I live where U-turns are explicitly allowed, on a divided road, at a light with a dedicated left turn/u-turn lane and turn arrow. It’s not the cars you behind you you have to worry about, though. It’s the oncoming traffic that would turn right, that has a red light when you are making your U-turn, but they assume you are turning left and can make their right on red (perhaps without stopping like they should).
