Thanks for the clarification. I figured there was something you could bet against, but forgot about futures. Appreciate it!

And who will be working those farms? But I’m sure somebody in the administration figured a way to short a stock involving it, somehow

(Hint: say it aloud)

It’s the whole “but her emails” crowd about how Hillary using her personal email server is the proof she’s in league with Satan - but then this (or Signal-gate, etc) happens and they conveniently ignore it.

I got more of a “unhand me what are you doing” vibe, but yeah, also could be “how do you KNOW it’s a he or why do you think there is one, you nut?”

One of the video quotes from Trump says the farmers will be responsible for (and “own”) them.

The bill “walks back our state’s commitment to reduce carbon emissions, sending the wrong signal to businesses that want to be a part of our clean energy economy,” Stein said in a news release. “My job is to do everything in my power to lower costs and grow the economy. This bill fails that test.”

Fair enough. I just think that someone voting for whomever they think will help them, will do JUST A LITTLE critical thinking.

Sigh. But that’s where we are now. I get voting for your self interest. But Jeeze.

In my experience the publisher Manning Books earns their cut. They’ve done interesting books, allow early access and update books online, provide digital copies if you buy the physical, etc.

“A majority of Farmers are not nor have they ever been partisan.”

I don’t know about that, there’s a lot of LeopardsEatingFaces about farmers lately. And according to https://investigatemidwest.org/2024/11/13/trump-election-farming-counties-trade-war/ , of the 444 farming-dependent counties, Trump won all but 11 counties, average of 78% of the vote. And given the reliance on labor and the previous Trump administration saying they’re apolitical seems… incorrect.

I’d heard Gator Gulag, but that’s even better

Elastic would’ve been amazing (among other things, it has all songs on the album laid on top of another, playing simultaneously)

Offtopic, I found this page from that page, and the contents are goofy. AI? A whole of slashes and a couple of words repeated thousands of times.

Aha! Here it is:

​ May 7, 2001

Senate Parliamentarian Robert Dove, the official responsible for enforcing the chamber’s rules and procedures, has been asked to leave his post after a dispute with the Republican leadership, Senate sources said yesterday.

Dove angered Republicans, especially Majority Leader Trent Lott (R-Miss.), with at least two recent rulings that effectively made it harder for the GOP to push President Bush’s budget and tax cut proposals through the evenly divided body

Thank you! I remember hearing that, during one of the budget reconciliations, the parliamentarian had denied that they could do <something> and so they replaced that person.

Ah, yes, Rafael Cruz, you miserable SOB: “Sen. “Ted Cruz” commented MacDonough should be fired or ignored”

Watch them fire the parliamentarian and find a new one who will say yes. They’ve done this shit before.

I know 2 people who’ve had it in the past 3 weeks.

His mom did it. Just hypothesizing that there’s no SO.

NATO should say they promise not to once Russia hands over its nuclear weapons. You know, like Ukraine did. Use the exact same paperwork that Ukraine signed in 1994 (NPT), with the word Ukraine taped over so it’s super obvious.

Sony has sold approximately 150 million PS4/5. Assuming they’re ALL being played, and that Microsoft sold roughly the same number, that means that if roughly one in every five iPhone owners play games, there are equal numbers.

But A lot of it, I’m sure, comes down to what everybody considers gamers/games. Balatro? Unquestionably a game, does it count for your statistics? I don’t know. From my phone on a brief search, the total market was somewhere around 180 billion last year, and $90 billion of that was mobile, and Sony made $17.5 billion in services, though I’m not sure if that includes the actual consoles.
