Salt, ice, and unsealed bottom bracket: creaking every 2-3 weeks!

Two ways of no padding for your saddle: material that gives (Brooks leather, rubber, etc) or you have a rock for a butt.

“Let’s wipe out the vast amount of wealth for the majority of the country” is unlikely to play well basically ever.

“Grandma and Grandpa need to take a $300k wealth cut so that we can force them out of the neighborhood they’ve lived in for 30 years because it’s not the optimal use of that land” is going to always go over like a wet fart. You’re coming across like a technocrat here rather than a feeling human being.

Between the capacitor plague and the tin whiskers from the phaseout of lead, hardware from that era failed constantly.

You’re real close to the “capacitor of death” models there. GX270s failed like a motherfucker.

And yet: You’ll still be limited to two simultaneous calls to your REST API because the default HTTP client was built in the dumbest way possible.

I saw an ad request with an inline 1.4 MB game. Like, you could fit Mario in there.

Which makes it all the more Pooh-esque.

Throw in some misspellings and I would have sworn it was Winnie the Pooh.

No, he can be questioned about official acts. The wording is that the judiciary decides what is an official act, so if they decide it is, he cannot be punished criminally for what is otherwise a criminal act. The Supreme Court did a bunch of power grabs for itself and effectively declared that Congress couldn’t do squat other than impeachment against the president and the only check on the president’s power was whether the judiciary agreed with him.

Now Trump’s attacking the judiciary and has made the chief justice have to make a statement that his challenges to his legitimacy will not stand, so I would expect to see a bunch of cases go against Trump just as a judiciary show of force, much like his citizenship emergency challenge where they told him to fuck off and they’d slow walk his case.

Trump could have ended democracy quite easily if he wasn’t in such a damn hurry to get shit done and snubbing all of the power brokers that he needs to implement his plans is forcing a bunch of needless shit. When the economy is fully in shambles in a few months and the ad spend slows down for media companies, I’d expect them to pounce on how much shit he fucked up. It’s wild seeing WSJ realizing the problem that’s coming down the pipeline and the Murdoch rag shitting on him in the editorials rather than WaPo.

ICE has been arresting people at green card interviews.

Like you live in an open world RPG and the generated quests have a place to show up
