Anything to do with money, such as yesterday's fiasco. As was mentioned in many articles yesterday Congress has the "power of the purse", meaning they control the budget and taxes (dictated by several parts of Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution). Trump unilaterally decided to stop payment on grants and funds that were already previously approved by Congress.

Any chance there's a place we could all start submitting bug reports about the incorrectly named body of water? Once the change goes into effect we should post that everywhere and see if we can swamp Google.

Trump keeps using the term "deep state" to refer to anyone that stands in his way, however it should be noted that the term typically refers to a shadow government whose purpose is to enrich or increase the power of its members. So it's rather ironic to be used derogatively by someone whose primary goal is using the government to enrich and increase the power of himself and anyone who sucks up to him.

Unfortunately Trump's stated plan is to boot out everyone who won't kiss his ass, shut down "non-essential" services like the education department or national weather service, put someone in control of healthcare who believes all vaccinations need to be immediately banned, and pass national laws against women's reproductive health care despite his claims of letting each State handle their own business. And yes, on his own he could only do so much, but the Republican party also gained more seats in both houses of representatives which means it will be easier to steamroll through anything he wants. So yeah, we have many many good reasons to be worried.

So Sony wants to punish ISPs for continuing to "allow" illegal things to happen? Hmm remind me again which company it is that has had so many data breaches that users have come to just expect it? Sounds to me like if they are allowed to pursue attacking internet providers then they themselves should start seeing lawsuits for continuing damages until such time as Sony is able to successfully recover all stolen personal data and other parties can no longer use it for profit.

Funny how the police act like they're the ones being threatened, when they are usually the ones who walk right up to people that are standing a distance away and start getting aggressive. Their behavior suggests that even MORE people need to be recording because obviously the safety of innocent civilians is at stake.

Voters were also far more likely to view Trump ... as someone who would “stand up and fight for people like you"

I'm just astounded by poll results like this. I mean, Trump already had four years and what exactly did he do for you? Oh that's right, absolutely nothing because he was too busy making changes that benefited his personal businesses or stripping federal regulations for personal rights and things like our national parks. I just don't understand why these people believe Trump is going to help them now when he only made everything worse in his first term?

I bought my mechanical keyboard in 1997. It has the original large round plug on it and through the years I've had to buy adapters to go to a ps/2 port and now to usb, but the keyboard itself still works pretty well. Definitely time for a good cleaning though, I've been having a lot of stuck or missed keys lately. Since I write code this keyboard has seen a LOT of daily use over the years.

Pretty much every signature soda drink. Pepsi, Coke, Mountain Dew... none of the knock-offs taste right and some are just nasty. Oddly, root beer seems to be the one flavor everyone can do well, maybe because it's a more common flavor with no patents on the general idea? I dunno but I don't think I've ever had a 'bad' root beer.

Can we start calling them "Russia Light" now? Or is Israel trying to become the new Russia in terms of atrocities?

A Chinese government group, you say? They shall henceforth be known as Stone Pooh.

Various countries have coins with holes through them. It may seem mundane to the residents living there, but to those of us with solid coins those look pretty interesting. I've also seen some multi-sided coins rather than the typical round ones.
