Polls don't matter, especially this far out.

Vote. Put pressure on politicians to do better. But more than anything. Vote.

If the polls say he's 100% going to win. Vote. If you're in a state that goes blue every time for the last 100 years. Vote. If you're in a state that goes red every time for the last 100 years. Vote.

It was the paid blue checkmark for $8 back in 2022.

Kinda old article info without much current stuff except the lawsuit against the ad trade group.

Found it. Since the gas goes through the same hose as the other blends, if you're buying gas you need to get at least 4 gallons so the previous gas flushes out what was left in the hose from the previous sale, and fills enough of the container that the blend is primarily what you selected.

If you buy E15 and fill your tanks, then the next guy buys E10 and only gets 1 gallon, they might end up with a higher ethanol mix than intended, and if they use that on a small motor, like a chainsaw, it could ruin the seals.

Good step, but let's get that down to a 32 hour work week with no reduction in pay.

Most jobs that are OT exempt have been shown to be more productive with a slightly shorter work week.

Not sure why SpaceX is in this group, except "cause musk", since they're objectively the best rocket company out there.

The rest are obvious, but the Falcon 9 is the cheapest, and most reliable rocket.

You'd increase taxes along with UBI, so most middle class people would end up neutral (or slightly positive). You can't just dump tons of money into the economy without turning other dials to keep it stable.

A wealth tax would essentially be redirecting money from the top 1% and guarantee a stable monetary floor for everyone.

Probably there's a dozen other changes, along with bankruptcy protections, interest rates, and anti scam protection would also need to be implemented.

You identified an obvious problem, which has been considered by intelligent UBI advocates that have studied this for a long time.

I would upgrade to windows 11 if it wasn't full of ads, I had two computers accidentally upgrade after mis-clicking an upgrade prompt and the experience was bad enough I reloaded the whole computer.

Not only that, but it doesn't make sense to have a task bar on the bottom of an ultrawide display. I've been putting my taskbar on the left side for over a decade, and now you just can't do that for some reason....

I want a rundown of all the crimes House commits and what % of episodes contain felonies.

Cause they're certainly missing the "Foreman, break into the dudes house and tell me everything in his crawlspace" scene, and the "Cameron, lie to him and drug him with this non-approved treatment and let's see if he starts dying quicker or slower."

A bit of over exaggerating in the title (as per usual.) The frequency used is one that we would consider a good candidate for listening for alien signals.

That doesn't mean the wow signal had anything to do with extra terrestrial technology.

The article is decent, and covers a bit of the tech used in the radio telescope, but the parts about the alien signals are just pure speculation.

Trump always complains when he has to follow the rules. Doesn't matter what the rule is, he always wants to be the exception.

It probably comes from the decades of experience he has in not having to follow the rules.

We're used to people who compete at world class levels having the highest tech, equipment, and perfect poise.

This guy competed in an extremely casual way, and still won silver.

It's just a humorous subversion of expectations, especially compared to some of the other competitors in the same sport.
