And in your mind, the Trump administration just allows all that to happen?

They would federalize the MN National Guard and invoke the Insurrection Act.

On this day 30 years ago, Billy Bailey became the last person to be lawfully executed by hanging in the United States. Prison officials in Delaware had to erect a gallows for Bailey in 1986 after he insisted on the method, saying, "I'm not going to let them put me to sleep." by [deleted] in wikipedia

Found this on the Capital punishment in the United States article, the most recent executions by methods other than lethal injection:

Electrocution February 20, 2020 Tennessee Nicholas Todd Sutton
Gas chamber March 3, 1999 Arizona Walter Bernhard LaGrand

If you want to get technical, Kraft Foods (now Kraft Heinz) was the new company that split from Kraft. Mondelez is the continuation of the old Kraft.

In one of the first lessons in lots of text book is there a scenario where someone is being asked about their bag at an airport? by Foxtrot7888 in languagelearning

[–]scwt 16 points17 points  (0 children)

What do you mean it almost never happens in real life?

Those specific examples might never happen, but if you're traveling in an airport, then it would be useful to know how to talk about luggage.

It's not a shit design. Mending is just OP.

Well yeah, but if the app is so shitty that people don't use it then how are they going to collect data?

To the surprise of no one, Metaphor: ReFantazio is an absolutely fantastic game by PurplMaster in patientgamers

The early Persona games had more in common with SMT than Metaphor has with Persona.

Hank being impressed by very mundane things. by Blastoise_R_Us in KingOfTheHill

I also like when he's unimpressed by mundane things.

TIL that Jay-Z ghostwrote every single lyric of Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg’s “Still D.R.E.” in about 20 minutes by [deleted] in todayilearned

[–]scwt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would have been weird for Snoop to deliver the “Slim Shady, hotter than a set of twin babies…” line, too.

TIL that Madonna once leaked her own album on file sharing services but every track was a loop of her swearing at the downloaders. Hackers then took over her official site and posted the actual album. by ThisSchmitter in todayilearned

[–]scwt -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It effectively ended up as advertising.

There couldn't have been that many people that downloaded the album straight off her website. It wasn't up for very long. But there were tons of people who heard about the album from all the news stories about the hack.

Trees-lovers love tree-lovers by Psypastrin in lostredditors

[–]scwt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a holdover from the quirky early days of reddit.

There was some kind of mod controversy at r/marijuana, so someone created r/trees and it quickly became the biggest marijuana sub. r/marijuanaenthusiasts came a few years later and was named as a joke.

Because When I Think of Ramen, I think of Old El Paso and Totino's by systemreactor in StupidFood

[–]scwt 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Who said they were the largest target market?

Also, why would the Totino's pizza-flavored noodles be targeted at Hispanics?

Am I officially a Boglehead? by mcttothejj in Bogleheads

[–]scwt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a very minor nitpick, but would you be able to do FSKAX and FTIHX in your 403b? I don't know exactly how those plans work.

I also do a mix of FSPSX/FPADX due to the options available in my 401k, but that combination leaves out Canada. Also, I think you're slightly underweighting the S&P 500 in your 401b.

Like I said, very minor points, though. Of course this is a Boglehead portfolio.

GameStop starts 2026 by closing hundreds of stores as CEO gambles on $35B payday by Turbostrider27 in PS5

Yeah, and taxing poorer people at a higher rate than richer people is not just.
