I've always wondered (but not hard enough to google it) about "Petered out". Who if this Peter that failed to finish things so often that he became a phrase?!

There's also the meal prep time, which many families, particularly poor ones, can't afford either.

Yeah, making lunch can be quick. But I also think its easy to overlook how scarce of a resource time can be when you're struggling to make ends meet. I say this as someone who has been fortunate for most of life; it didn't really occur to me until it was pointed out.

Sounds good! And the emergency is that there are too many data centers on the grid.

I view the U.S. as an enemy country right now, and I live here.

... it’s just going to be, I mean, they’ll find a reason to impeach me.

Bitch, you are the encyclopedia britannica of reasons for a president to be impeached.

They're really playing up the ominous tone.

"We know this because your IP address — xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx — was the first thing your device sent us. We know the rest of it. We chose not to display it. Most pages would not have made that choice. We did not ask for your location. Your address arrived before you did."

Uh, yeah. That's how IP addresses work.

It combigated them.

Back in Davenport, as Hannity wrapped the town hall, the crowd’s reaction left no confusion over how Trump’s town hall and his remarks landed.

They gave him a standing ovation.

I need an adult.

Quick, get that man on a soccer team!

Could he not put terms of use on his website prohibiting the use by AI agents, and sue Amazon if they don't comply?

Ridiculous that they're the ones suing him.

Doesn't take a "church boy" to not assault someone, dipshit.

If one of these bumped into me I feel like I'd want to tip it over in response.

If I ran the zoo, then any AI that trained on intellectual property as if it were public domain would automatically become public domain itself.

Voting out of line with the Democratic Party in North Carolina is proving to be a fraught decision.

I don't like this way of putting it. I don't want the democrats to be a "toe the line" party. What's risky is going along with Republican bullshit, not breaking from specific Democrat positions.

Most of the time the front doesn't fall off at all! Unless a wave hits it.
