Yknow, what I love about English specifically is its messy MAXIMALISM. It's like a weird wonderful fashion friend with her closets full of vintage treasures, plus her new DIY designs, her upcycles, a skirt made of neckties, underwear as outerwear, and oh you like this kaftan? It's a *loanword.*

Some deal you negotiated lmao
My Democratic colleagues and I stand ready to negotiate a bipartisan deal that keeps the government open while lowering health care costs and extending the ACA tax credits. But Republicans must come to the table.

Best part of living in Reno: dozens of AYCE sushi joints, all with pretty good (or better) quality, and nearly all of 'em cost less than $40/person even with tip. And this one even throws in free sake (cheap sake, sure, but still sake).

A tale as old as time.
The Gracchi brothers attempted to address Roman poverty & inequality by pushing for reforms that would limit land ownership per individual. They were both murdered by senator/ultrarich mobs, and Rome would spend the next 100 years descending into corruption that led to Julius Caesar claiming power.

hi. axolotl here. i worked on Time Machine for many years. i know stuff about backup.
i don't care what you use for backup as long as you back up your data. 💜
- you can't have enough backups
- you need something off-site
- make sure your backups are good
- back up regularly
- go run a backup now

Always back up your data.
I went to open an important folder I keep on my desktop and realized it was gone.
I had simply shift-deleted it at some point in the past two days. Dunno how.
Logged into backup, pulled files back down, all is good.

Both of my state's senators continue to disappoint at every turn.
The Dems who voted yes to reopen didn't bend the knee because they thought it was best for Americans, they voted yes because their paymasters demanded it
This is why the Republicans really threatened to ground commercial flights
What a perfect example of everything wrong with the political system

Thank you, RyNo. I understand that my son's name will be cleared when he has been purged of the ash statue's influence. I knew my son would never murder his friend, but I understand this statue influenced him in some way.

Like the saying goes: the difference between a millionaire and a billionaire is approximately 1 billion dollars.
One million is a one minute walk.
One Billion is 80 minutes DRIVING.
One Trillion = ?

hoping this upcoming star wars: starfighter movie is just top gun but star wars
ironically what makes star wars stuff best is when it is 'something else, but also star wars'
e.g. Andor, a British political thriller but also Star Wars
the Mandalorian, an episode-of-the-week Western but also Star Wars (when it was good)

These were my favorite by far. I used to have a recurring Amazon order for a case of these every month. They were that good.
Alas, it's been years since I've last seen 'em in stores.

The D key has failed on my Framework 16's keyboard. All other keys work; it's just D that cuts out 90% of the time.

One of these days the large media corporations will figure out that these shenanigans only encourage “sailing the high seas” for their products.
You might not be able to watch Monday Night Football tonight.
Why? When companies get too big, they have the power to cut off your favorite channels.
That's what's happening here.
And what's Trump done about it? He's let them get away with it.

If you’ve noticed that leftovers make you sick, or suddenly have allergies you never had before…. Consider MCAS.
It’s one of my most debilitating illnesses.
