Wouldn't be surprised if he thinks the bad guys won the American Civil War, too...

if the Democrats truly understood the minimum wage would be $20 or more

In Democrat-controlled California, the minimum wage for fast food workers is $20: https://www.dir.ca.gov/dlse/minimum_wage.htm

I want a button that skips back 10s, turns on subtitles, and then turns off subtitles when we're back to where we started.

Certain crops can benefit think from some shade throughout the day:

The study aggregates the effect of agrivoltaics on crop yields at different sites. Tomatoes saw up to double yield with agrivoltaics, while wheat, cucumbers, potatoes and lettuce showed significant negative impacts and corn and grapes showed minimal impact.

I assume that maximal crop output would happen if you just grow things in their optimal climate, but then you rely more heavily on transportation.

When I'm feeling cool and downloading a *.tar* file, I'll wget to stdout, and tar from stdin. Archive gets extracted on the fly.

I have (successfully!) written an .iso to CD this way, too (pipe wget to cdrecord). Fun stuff.

Not every ISP! Where I live there's an awesome ISP, Sonic, which is pro-NN, and last I heard only offers "best effort" service


which means there's no throttling your link, no paid tiers; if the fiber and hardware can support 10Gbps symmetric, then that's what you get.

Sadly, they're not the norm. And sadly, not offered at my address.

That's an unfair characterization.

It's not just the things they don't like that can't happen...it's also the things they do like that must happen! See, for instance, prayer in school. (Separation of Church and State only applies to satanic stuff or something, idk...)

Have you heard the joke about the SEO manager who walks into a bar pub saloon watering hole place to meet friends great cocktails beer on tap?

Wild turkeys can fly, too. It's impressive. I once came around a blind corner on my bike, there was a turkey in the road, and it took off in a manner I can only describe as 747esque


it did not look like it should be able to fly, yet there it was, clearly flying.

Meme is referring to nuclear reactors, not complete antimatter annihilation.

Nuclear reactors don't "burn" everything


most of the matter stays (this is what nuclear waste is). So you can only apply E=mc^2 to the difference in mass, not the mass of the fuel.

Nine people= voting population of USA

Three vote to drive off cliff = MAGA plurality

Two vote for ice cream = Biden voters

Four abstain because it's shitty ice cream = abstaining voters who presumably don't want to die but also don't want shitty ice cream

If that's painfully stretched, I would like to see your definition of a straightforward metaphor...I guess "life is a rollercoaster" must take some PhD level analysis to understand.
