happy 1_700_000_000 everyone!
I imagine all timestamps are rare. I.e only one exists of each until there is a rollover.

Hold on, this whole operation was your idea
Is he saying owned by the US government or by a US oligarch? The former sounds like the opposite of small government. If they're so angry about the postal office being owned by the federal government, why would they be okay with TikTok

New bill proposes repealing vote-by-mail in Oregon, public invited to testify
I love mail in voting. I can take a Saturday that I have free, sit down for a couple of hours, review everything and everyone, ensure I fill out the forms fully and correctly and then drop it in the voting box. Forcing me to take a day off of work and go stand in a miserable line with the pressure of people behind me would be the worst. We have a system that works great as long as the right wing maniacs are not starting our drop boxes on fire. I love love love our civilized way of voting here.

If it wasn't such a pithy amount that they sold I would accuse them if it, but this would be a great avenue to accept donations from foreign or nefarious actors.

California workers will get five sick days instead of three under law signed by Gov. Newsom
When this happened several years back and they gave us two sick days, our company just went ahead and shifted two of our PTO days to sick days.

Finally beat cancer
Where does the forgiveness come from? After paying for my education I now pay a bunch of taxes, I assume that's what is paying for their education? So the cartoon should say, I just fought and beat cancer and now I need to go work on a cute. "They" cutting cancer is not the same.

Thanks that seems reasonable and makes me feel a little less crazy. i can't imagine Trump knows how Tariffs work or what they would actually be useful for, much less what the best levels are.

Wouldn't you need two replicators? One to be replicated and one to do the replicating? And if the replicator itself is a box (assumption since it was not specifies) the replicator would have to be larger than the max size.

They paid their preschool and homeless services taxes. Then the city told them they hadn't
Just build it in to everything else. Introducing additional avenues for fuckups helps no one and it's extra painful to pay your taxes both mentally and logistically.

The g spot is in the ear canal
Reply in thread
I went to Amazon and got an ear wax removal tool. It has an arm with a soft latex scooping tip and a camera and a light. It has wifi and you hook it up to your phone so you can see the camera. I was having custom ear plugs made and I needed to get things squeaky clean. It worked surprisingly well and is the best way to clear things out completely imo. It's also pretty interesting to see what is going on in there. I also have a little syringe thing I keep in the shower to use on a more regular basis.

So I feel like I'm probably missing something or am not understanding how Tariffs work.
Tariffs would increase the price of foreign goods and commodities and those increases would be passed on to consumers, but isn't the goal not to get more tax money for the government but to disincentivize the purchase of those foreign goods at all thus fueling domestic manufacturing and economy?
It seems like tariffs aren't great short term but if we have the ability to manufacture domestically and are not doing so due to costs, then it may be good in the longer term. Especially because if we rely on those countries now, they have control over those goods and can end them whenever they want. At least this way we can ramp up US manufacturing without a disruption to the existing supply chain, it just costs more.
