Dolly: Children should be literate. Let me use my money and status to give them free books.

Reba: I don’t have enough money. Let me do some annoying commercials for Realtor.com.

Finished “Witchcraft for Wayward Girls”. It needed tighter editing. It’ll make a decent movie someday. It’s saved by its wonderful epilogue.

The only good thing about this early jump start in holidays is the food. You will start seeing stuffing mix, pumpkin pie, egg nog, and other holiday foods in the grocery store soon.

As they should. VW is ridiculously mismanaged.

You couldn’t find another source for this besides fox news?

SMB is such a pain in the ass. AFP forever!!!

So far mostly hitting the AR headset team (Apple Vision) from what I’ve been reading. Which makes me wonder if the reported Apple Glasses project has been scrapped or scaled back (we can only hope).

And they just raised their subscription price. 😆

It should still be properly grounded.

Frito Lay fucked up by charging $7 for a bag of chips. It took a chunk out of their profits when people stopped buying them. They have reversed course for now.

SNAP eligible?That might depend on the state you live in.

Is that something regional? Because in the US, power strips are often sold as grounded. Examples:

Product details: “Grounded outlets” “Power strip”

I’ll believe it when i see it. These are the same conservatives who keep re-electing Ted Cruz.

Even if they would just stay home/abstain, it would make a difference.

Not sure why you think this is the best chance we’ve had to turn blue. There have been far better candidates in the past than Hinojosa and Talarico.

I’ll be interested to see if anything changes. I have my doubts. Let’s see what happens after the midterms though.

I’m guessing they’re hiring new employees to replace the old ones — because by now the old ones have likely moved on to other jobs. This means the company lost the institutional knowledge and experience of the previous employee. All in an attempt just to save a few dollars.

Doubtful, considering the Amazon rain forest has been losing a football field or more of trees every minute of the day, since at least 1990.

Even the article expresses doubts: “The authors note these numbers contradict data from the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, which collects national forest data from countries’ forestry departments and has historically been seen as the most consistent source of information.”

But is it still good?

Not really. It has its moments, but it has taken a lot of wrong turns. Also the seasons are entirely too short to be filled with silly/filler episodes. Great cast though.

I look forward to Trek taking a rest and hopefully signing up a new show runner at some point who turns out to be a better steward of this property’s legacy.

Dumb. If you’re going to change an Apple-related security URL, change it to an apple.com domain so there’s no mistaking it is an actual Apple-owned website.

Today I learned the CW still exists.

In turn, data centers will just pollute the air with their natural gas and diesel generators. It’s a lose/lose proposition.
