I was interested in that whole ecoli eating plastic and producing 95% acetaminophen from it by mass. Maybe we can stop a lot of the plastic from water/soda bottles and just medicate ourselves till our livers shit themselves out our assholes.
What do you have against eating orphans? It statistically should drive down homelessness and potentially rent prices. Probably not good for the economy or moral though. Your parents died in a traffic accident, sorry kid… You’re off to the buffet.
So your plan is to give up, or try to change the Democrat party to move further left? A new party couldn’t place a member on the Presidential ballot by 2028. They have to hold positions in multiple states of lower positions to do so, and that would split the possible centrists from the leftists and guarantee another Republican win.
Hating on individual Democrat members who drive the party Congress/Senate to the right makes sense. Hating on the entire party just helps lose support for their party and thereby support the “true” villains as you labeled them.
Could have done what when Biden was president? A bill like this was impossible to pass under Biden even if you could get the Democrats who notoriously don’t line up together to get on the same page. It has to pass both sides of the legislature, and they didn’t have a majority in both sides like Republicans do now.
Nah, that one’s not my cat, the cat that resides in our dwelling I didn’t name. He answers to Ghost and prefers most things Halloween it seems.

Released for $4.60. below average game cost they said. This makes me wonder… What do games cost on release most places?
I seem to remember $40 PS2/Dreamcast era $50 PS3/360 era, $60 PS4/5/Xbox S/S era. And now people are saying $80 for next gen. Sorry I know I dropped a lot of consoles, but was that pretty standard everywhere?
According to the article it says it requires only 51 votes to override. So “real” or not if the Republicans actually fall in line like always it once again doesn’t matter what the Democrats in the Senate do. There are more than 51 (53) Republican senators, also Vance would vote for it. So they can have 3 people not vote for it and it would override it apparently. I thought the parliamentary would require 3/5 to override, but maybe that only pertained to some of the clauses they took out to ensure it did not require 60+ votes
Hard to say where he really sits without knowing more about him, but voice wise it seems he was calling for people to protest Israel’s actions while not performing them specifically at Jewish events. Which I get. Bringing the protests to specifically Jewish events in the U.S. isn’t protesting Israel, it draws the idea that if you are Jewish you are Israel, which is false. His comments that Palestinians should be able to live without fear I haven’t seen anyone mentioning and the fact that they are quoting him from 2021 saying Israel should be more surgical, 2 years before things escalated from the Oct 7th attack and prior to any ground invasion.
A U.S. Senator speaking about Israel overreach in 2021 is actually surprising.
I agree that there really is no way for the layman to know. The states all vary as well. Meaning something like 10 states have partisan votes (party listed next to name in ballot). About 20 have non partisan, so they don’t list the party. Many have Yes/No retaining votes without listing a replacement, just decision to keep. Then some states have policies where the judge must be confirmed by the state Senate, and others approved by their state Congress. Beyond that, I don’t remember much, it is way to much for a person to keep up with and their should be independent bodies that evaluate performance/ judgements. I don’t know a perfect way to set it up though, as corruption is everywhere.
Yeah, maybe it varies by state but where I have lived you can register to vote at the library as well. The other place you run into is the DMV, but no one wants to go there unless it’s an emergency. Moving from Florida to Tennessee, I was shocked when it said you could make an appointment to get quicker wait times, I went to schedule an appointment for the following Monday, to which I found out there were no appointments available for just over 2.5 months. So everyone just shows up and waits, which I’m sure just makes less time for appointments, and thus keeping wait times rediculous during peak hours. (Which seem to be all hours they are open here).
Extended bitching about the DMV here. I once went to get a new license, they gave me a paper one and said it will ship to my house. 2 weeks later I called and they said it could take up to 90 days but usually only takes 2 weeks. 31 days in I went back to the DMV and told them grocery stores won’t take the paper ID after 30 days as they consider it expired, even though the expiration date says years down the line. (Kroger, Publix). Well I was running instacart orders after work to make a few extra dollars to pay off some things. Mid 30’s get denied buying groceries because they had a bottle of wine or something and obviously only pissing off people who order at that point. I asked the DMV if I could buy a normal ID while waiting for my license to arrive, nope. They stated if I get a State ID it would mark me as no longer having a valid driver’s license and they would have to start the possible 90 days over, and have to collect the State ID when they issue the paper license. Fucking pain in the arse.
Anyways, go to the library, or register online
Maybe but it’s a lot harder to start a fire with a cigarette than most people think. You need to be in a dry area for sure, and have good air flow. The tests people point to a lot are that if you drop a cigarette into gasoline, it will just put the cigarette out. If you drop it in grass, it is highly unlikely it will ignite anything. When they set up dry hay to test it they had the best odds of setting one. There were studies where they lit cigarettes and left them on different fabrics, and found 5/300 fabrics could actually catch fire.
If you pick up a leaf and try to light it with a cigarette it will fail unless it’s fall, and even in fall I have lit a leaf intentionally and dropped it to he ground and the leaf burns out without catching anything else. Your best shot would be to get your kindling all together, dried and knock the cherry into it, then start blowing on it like you were trying to start a camp fire. Wood doesn’t ignite till about 600F/300+C or so if it isn’t a continuous heat. (Assuming it’s dry). A cigarette burns at around 400F/200c unless someone is pulling on it, then temperature goes way up, which is why you’d want to blow on the cherry to get any kindling to catch.
Sidenote: I worked at a movie theater back in 2006 for a few years. At the end of the night we would throw away large amounts of popcorn. That stuff makes a great fire starter. It’s light, airflow around it is great, and because it has the oil on it it burns fairly hot and the fire tends to stick to kindle and such really well. I used to take a couple gallons or so and tie it to my backpack because it added hardly any weight, and you’d have a spare snack when drinking around the campfire after you get it going.
Acts of consentuality. I feel I want to be informed and so I try to keep up, but no one should have the burden of having to keep up with any changes in verbage. I think it would be nice to have it voiced as simply as consentual. There really is no other information anyone should care about. Sex/gender/number of people, none of it matters.
Whether they marry monogamously, date openly, love however the person chooses to. It isn’t for me to cast my opinion on their acts, so it may cause harm to put detailed labels, as then they are easier to be weaponized.
That doesn’t mean people shouldn’t or couldn’t openly discuss their choices, just that when you make the boxes and ask people to put themselves in them, then the boxes divide the people, which is easier to “conquer”
Because you spent all night telling yourself if you fake sleep eventually you’ll actually fall asleep, but really you end up staring a hole through your eyelids. The fact that you can tell it’s light in the room with your eyes closed seems like a design flaw
Its also said that smokers are used to having less oxygen intake so if you throw a smoker and a non smoker on a mountain for a night, the smoker is less likely to get altitude sickness. Long term staying at altitude they’ll no longer have the advantage.
Maybe I’m misunderstanding you, but is the DNC not collecting all of the donations from these pacs and distributing them? Let’s say Jefferies:
Or are you just saying it usually goes through the DCCC
Edit: I assume that is what you meant, issue there is the DCCC’s current leader is one that needs to go: Suzan DelBene
They collect the money from pacs and such, and distribute it to campaigns for people running for congress listed under the Democrats party…
It doesn’t matter which state you are in.
The DNC just needs to replace 128 Congress members, and they’ll be moving in the right direction
Okay so I wanted to try the fruits to see. It says 8-12 fruits gets you 1 point, 13+ gets you an extra point, less than 8, 0 points. (1 minute to name them)
So I started pretty easy and then started questioning myself:
Let’s say watermelon, orange, tangerine, peach, strawberry, cantaloupe, honeydew melon, blackberry, blueberry, apple, jackfruit, mango, lime, lemon… But I didn’t think of lemon/lime immediately, my brain started saying use Tomato and Cucumber as they both hold their seeds internally so they are “fruits”.
I get that they would likely count but when the pressures on, I imagine I could still fuck up something like that haha
Combustion motors are more trans than EV’s apparently.
