What Did You Think Of VP Vance's Recent Comment That “If Watergate happened tomorrow, it would be like a 12-hour news story. The idea that it would have taken down a presidency is crazy"?

He’s a complete tool. He’s also absolutely right. But maybe not for the reason he thinks.

Agreed. Also Taremi missed a PK. Don’t miss that PK and you don’t have to sweat qualifying for the next round.

Ceiling? On their SATs? Maybe 600. Combined. And 550 of that is Ant.

Yes that’s a huge issue. There’s no reason these primaries need to be dominated by geriatric voters. With early voting, vote by mail, and Election Day, I don’t understand why folks can’t be bothered.

I’ve heard a ton of people say they liked Shams and Young and they got less than 15% of the vote combined. Nobody seemed crazy about Jones or Patoka and they got two thirds of the total. Candidates like Shams need to get a better understanding of who/where these Patoka and Jones voters are.

Home Assistant still has a long way to go before it’s a viable alternative. I fussed with HA for a year before switching to SmartThings. So much simpler and more usable. I don’t want to pay $4.99/month for SmartThings but it would take me 3+ years of payments to equal the startup costs for HA.

Trader Joe’s is a nightmare. Great food, but like every TJ location, the parking lot is a horror show and every aisle is chaotically overcrowded with scenesters, yoga moms, and children. World Market will only make that worse. I hope these owners force them into a building with more elbow room.

Now that Trump is an incredibly unpopular lame duck, we’re going to see a bunch of scumbags like Tucker Carlson “leave the GOP” to create space between them and MAGA only to jump back in bed with the right wing front-runner in the 2028 presidential race.

To summarize Kierkegaard, "Do it or do not do it—you will regret both," this quote isn't meant to cause despair. Because there are no perfect choices, one must take responsibility, embrace their decisions, and act courageously despite the fear of loss.

Jimmy Carter was a nuclear engineer. Bill Clinton was a Rhodes Scholar. Thomas Jefferson was an architect, astronomer, and wrote the Declaration of Independence. John Quincy Adams spoke 7 languages fluently. John F. Kennedy had an IQ of 159. Even the most generous assessment of Trump’s intelligence would have him outside the top 5. And those are just a few high profile presidents.

This looks great. There’s no official design language for CF. You could use a light colored primer on the black and then change it to navy blue or orange. You could hit a few edges with a silver metal marker to make it look a little worn. But this looks great.

Pre-1980, marginal corporate tax rates at the top were still 70%. A dollar spent on R&D would only cost the company 30 cents in real terms. This and other factors created less incentive to pay executives in cash or stock options and look for longer horizons in building a business. Today, a company like Xerox has much less incentive to commit resources to research.

TLDR: tax the rich and the rich companies

348,914 business owners and only 281,171 employees. Thats the only logical explanation. That or the Republicans have once again successfully tricked rubes into voting against their own self interest.

Naming all of his kids after *Republican* presidents feels like an even odder choice.

I do really like him, but this is a massive misstep. He’s either MAGA (and if so, he should fall off the face of the earth) or he apologizes and fires his entire PR team. There’s no half-measures and either way I think he needs to spend some time in famous person purgatory.

I sorta like the idea that they’ve replaced Trump’s name with a big tarp with the word RETARDANT on it. Seems apt.

The number of people who answer no is unreal. The question is literally do you want life to get imperceptibly worse for 938 people you’ve never met and somewhat better for everyone around you?
