This was a result of election night that is underreported, but hugely telling and frustrating.

All this noise about California being liberal, progressive, and the resistance to Trump. But they kept slavery in prison legal. And I think the people who are predicting prison "labor" will be used to replace migrant labor if mass deportation does happen have it right. And California had a chance to make that impossible and decided not to.

Thankfully it is easy to not connect them. The newest TV I bought I connected it once via Ethernet during setup to get the latest software, then unplugged it. Has been working fine for a year with no issue.

My battery health has degraded over the year or so I've had the 15 PM, but it's in normal range (89% with 272 charge cycles) and the change was noticed pretty immediately after upgrading to iOS 18.

I have been noticing my battery life being lower after the 18 and 18.0.1 update on the 15PM. It feels like I'm ending my day with less than 20% battery when before I was over 30% easily.

It still gets me through the day, but not as comfortably.

Man, that back to back double spread of Loki and Elbaph (got I hate that is official instead of Elbaf) go so hard.

And he is calling himself the sun god too. So those are two giants and a snake that have tried to take that name.

Yeah, that's exactly what I mean. I don't think most people understand that, and it will lead to people losing faith in experts when they're told inflation is back to pre-pandemic levels but prices aren't.

People don't understand this about inflation and it will disappoint them very soon once inflation is fully back to rates we saw pre-pandemic.

Grocery prices aren't coming down. Housing prices aren't going down. Utility costs aren't going down. The best we can hope for is for them to not increase as fast as they have the last four years and for the usual fluctuations in things like gas or electricity costs to fluctuate down more than up.

Unless the overall mortage payment goes down or you have a serious need (had a baby and need more room or have a physical challenge and need less), I can't imagine abandoning a low interest rate.

I bought this year and the interest rate makes my payment so much higher that it is insane. I can't wait until rates lower and I can refinance.

And the most recent trailer also has a fairly large cameo spoiler too. So if you care, now is a good time to stop looking up info on the movie until you see it.

In a Korean car too which is funny.

What does the BODG stand for?

Rich is an interesting way to put it. Bailing out the rich are tax cuts aimed overwhelmingly at the rich, not taxing capital gains and other ways the rich try to hide their true income and not auditing the rich because it is too much effort.

Yeah, secret sounds shady. But I get the rationale. Me personally I wouldn’t feel a need to tell my partner, but I wouldn’t hide it per se.
