Pretty sure it was more about managing Trump and not an expectation of picking a fight on literally every issue.

I'm betting stuff from the US goes up in price, things imported from around the world stay the same or go down with decreased US demand.

this should also be a reason to get put on the no-fly list

sorry, you clearly can’t be trusted anywhere near an airplane
The police confiscated a kite on Saturday after it was flown near airplanes landing at Ronald Reagan National Airport, according to the airport police, and after a witness said he saw it make contact with a landing plane.

That sounds pretty lit actually

Very cool! For most people that need a private VPN, Tailscale is the way to go IMO. It handles NAT/port forwarding automatically, has a nice Web UI for managing users, and gives all your machines a URL to access things by.

Ah ok, I have a NAS but it’s totally custom, I’m not sure what Synology asks for during their setup. What’s your use case? Accessing files and services remotely?

I’m guessing you have an ISP router? Do you know how to assign a static IP to your device either on the router or on-device?

tried to listen but the uploaded file seems to only have the intro/outro and the rest is silence

They still ask me to tip before I order 🤔 They should make it mandatory & more clear that the tip is a bid for service and if you don’t set it high enough no driver will want to accept your order

We probably need to decide if sucks so hard it's never going to be capable of being useful or an existential threat that will devalue labour and lead to mass unemployment.

50 years ago it cost 10x as much to fly anywhere but if you want Spirit to take you from NYC to LA for $45 part of the price is sitting in a seat made of cardboard packed like sardines in a can

The article just says the baby had the brain bleeding, eye damage is correlated with SBS but not specifically noted as being present in this case.

Even if being shaken is the only thing that could cause these symptoms (unlikely), it doesn’t prove criminal intent by a specific individual.

Strange you’re already calling them guilty before a court has decided.

The prosecutors are making a classic circular reasoning fallacy and the line of argument proves nothing beyond a reasonable doubt.

Assuming the cause of the child’s symptoms is anti-science and harmful to medical care.

oh god I ate here and it made me sick… the fact that the burger arrived at the table 5m after ordering should have been a red flag
