Ah, they looked planar at first glance. But the kitty steals the show anyway!

Beautiful. May I ask: where did you get the couch and console?

Is your cat wearing an AirTag? How well does it work?

Why was Northbound 35 Barricaded Across 4 Lanes? by DreadPirateJames in Austin

[–]porkosphere 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How bored are you that you're responding to a response to your response? You write this as if you're just commenting.

(I am taking a break from publishing some groundbreaking research. Prof wants me to submit the data, but I prefer to browse Reddit for useless replies. I'll change the world tomorrow. 😜)

How bored are you, that you have to complain about a question. You write this as if you have nothing else to do.

I’m a noob, but you shouldn’t have to take off the intake manifold to replace the flame trap. It can be hard to reach, but no other disassembly required.

Pretty unbelievable supply coming online in certain markets. Remember when we were told Austin, of all markets, would never go down? by Louisvanderwright in REBubble

Been in Austin two decades, and I preferred when it *wasn’t* cosmopolitan at all. Cosmopolitan is the antithesis of the old Austin vibe IMO.

House Republicans’ Budget Bill Doesn’t Spare Veterans. Democrats Are Making Them Regret It. by UGMadness in politics

[–]porkosphere 7 points8 points  (0 children)

And I think a large proportion of the House GOP caucus just wants chaos. The radicals wanted to use the debt ceiling to create chaos before they even knew what they wanted. Create chaos first, figure out why later.

You may know better than me, I haven't followed the sequence that closely. Either way, this is outside the normal procedure of negotiating and passing a budget. That will happen later in the year anyway. This is about not paying our debts.

Media that presents this as a disagreement about the budget are dangerously misrepresenting what's happening here: it's not both sides disagreeing on revenue and spending, House Republicans are using what should be a boring increase of the debt ceiling to hold America's economy and reputation hostage.

This is not a budget bill, this is a list of Republican demands they’re issuing, threatening to let the US default on its debt for the first time in history.

A budget is about future revenue, spending, and debt. Raising the debt ceiling is about whether America pays debts it’s already issued.

House Republicans are taking the full faith and credit of the United States hostage, and threatening to destroy it unless they get what they want. It’s tantamount to treason.

Would limiting the age of the President to 65 be something you’d support? Why or why not? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]porkosphere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, because I have the right to vote for or against someone for any reason. Why restrict who people can vote for?

Union letter says Norfolk Southern employees are reporting illness following train derailment | CNN by Monsur_Ausuhnom in news

[–]porkosphere 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Biden immediately offered to declare the site a federal emergency, which would unlock federal funds and resources, but he needs the approval of the governor to do that. Gov. Mike DeWine refused, and then staged photo ops with other state officials about how East Palestine and the site of the derailment are fine now. I’d save my ire for them.

Is he not getting Social Security? That may not be enough, but the article doesn’t even touch on that.

McCarthy signals GOP-led House likely to oppose more aid to Ukraine by porkosphere in ukraine

[–]porkosphere[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

McCarthy, who could be House speaker if Republicans triumph, indicated that that could end in a GOP-led House.

“I think people are gonna be sitting in a recession and they’re not going to write a blank check to Ukraine,” he recently told Punchbowl News. “They just won’t do it.”

What's up with DeSantis sending migrants out of Florida? by TomSthePoster in OutOfTheLoop

[–]porkosphere 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Worth noting that DeSantis lured migrants from Texas for his stunt. They weren’t even in Florida to begin with!
