Chris-

Failing to meet a signature requirement is objective (for the most part), this is much more open to interpretation. Ruling in Colorado’s favor would give every Republican state the opportunity to keep Democratic presidential candidates off the ballot with near-impunity from a federal standpoint.

Probably the right call, but yet another example of how fundamentally broken the Constitution is in the modern age!

LOL

Yep, found out Monday morning she's being let go due to lack of work (because who would ever expect a multi-billion dollar international law firm to adequately plan its own book of business!) She's getting paid through the 19th (she's going to push for more severance), but other than that she has one petition to file then its get out and good luck.

My wife is losing her job lmao

The list of included channels is extremely compelling, but there are two issues: 1. Unless I'm mistaken all of them are available on YouTube TV, so that is the price ceiling - and I have to think this service will cost $40-50/mo given the volume of content, competitive landscape, and revenue cannibalization (since a lot of subscribers will be new cable cutters, so the loss of carriage fee eats into margin). 2. No USA, so unless NBC decides to start putting USA-broadcast matches on Peacock, you'd lose out on most of the major PL matches. That alone would keep me with YouTube TV, especially if the service costs as much as I think it will.

Bold accusation given John Ratzenberger's continued casting.

Well thank you for doing it as long as you did!

@Commissar SFLUFAN are you no longer posting IAW updates? No big deal if you aren’t, but I found them quite informative, so I figured I’d ask?

It's down to anticipate his shares hitting the market, not because of any impact the decision will have on Tesla's operations.

Finished White Noise by Don DeLillo today. Pretty good! I can always enjoy a good postmodern take on capitalism, and the skewering of academia (and the type of men it cultivates) was entertaining. The existentialism/Dylar stuff didn’t land for me quite as much, though the way it ended was pretty funny given how it was set up.

I think I'll stick to having sex with women instead.

Excuse me?

Therapy and self-reflection are great exercises in humility; re-starting therapy after my recent ankle injury has tapped into and unlocked many, many other things that I haven't truly processed through to the depth or specificity that they require. Congratulation on all the progress you've made and will continue to make.

So like, how much of this could theoretically be streamlined? Obviously airplanes are complex engineering systems, but computers and industrial design is pretty advanced in this day and age...If we threw all notions of safety or security out the window (including to the public writ large), could it be simplified to the point that literally anyone could fly it?

In a sense they were sprinkled like magic dust over the face of the planet, so that’s pretty cool.

Pretty sure that means Wade wins the tontine!

Talk to the pharmacist and they can check if there are any manufacturer coupons/discounts. You should also look into whether or not you qualify for Medicaid (assuming you don’t have COBRA coverage from your last job).

*eye twitches*

I empty my bowel in a similar fashion.

As a matter of fact I also watched Inherent Vice the other week, right after finishing the book...I wasn't as big on it, but I think that's because it cut too many of my favorite scenes/lines from the novel (though it was an admirable - and mostly good! - adaptation).

Licorice Pizza - 10/10. One of PTA's best IMO - incredibly tender (and funny) film.

Oh those look fucking great.

Is that dill?

Wade hijacking a thread and making it about food is definitely the kind of energy we need to see in 2024.
