Any car dealership or website that does not offer the option to filter for hybrid and electric vehicles should have all thier onsite computers downgraded to Windows ME.

That is all.

Trump wants to double down on tariffs so he can grant exemptions to countries that pay him. Remember, Foxconn promised to bring 3,000-13,000 jobs to WI so CEO Terry Gao could curry favor with Trump. They never planned to do jack shit in WI. But I'm pretty sure Gao got what he wanted. 4 more years!

Chinese shippers: ' New rule! We sail to just outside US waters and throw the shit overboard. You are free to collect it where it lands on the coast and charge a tariff at that point!.

Saw a video of a guy asking trump supporters about DeSantis, and one says she would have supported him until she heard that Soros was backing him. These people will swallow any fucking thing. It's like they never heard of Google. Definitely don't have critical thinking skills.

Tip o' the hat to Land Shark for making us aware that President Biden is working on Labor Day (like a lot of us) but I wondered what the PAB was doing at the same point in his term (2019).

Having been awake since 2 am in the morning because Cat1 wanted to go out galivanting last night and then I got up to let her in and then got up to get a towel because she was soaked, and an hour later having finally decided to--don't ask, I don't know why--succumb to the burning urge to go downstairs and unload the dishwasher and put dishes away, and eat some rice and lentils, I am now planning on going back to sleep as soon as my brain chemistry cooperates.

Keep the noise down already!

There’s no coughing, so I think this is just a summer cold thing, but I did have a pharmacist tell me last week that the new strain of COVID is particularly contagious, even if it’s less severe. But agreed, I’m staying away from people just in case.

I remember subway rats that would just sit there an LOOK at you. I used to work the late shift so traveling home meant fewer crowds and more scurrying animals, including one ride with a 'guest' on the subway for a few stops.

It's quiet. Too quiet. Wish I had one of those little offroad golf carts right about now. They're kind of loud. I'd drive it to town and buy a little American flag on a stick. I could take the truck but it's just not the same, with its windows and radio and air conditioner and liability insurance. Being a real American, to me, is driving a glorified golf cart on a public highway, with a little American flag on a stick.

Thanks! That was a good one. I love my neurologist but she never explained how the structures of the brain work during migraine, and sometimes I think it is helpful to be able to know what is happening even if you can’t stop it.

Could someone explain the Congressional calendar to me? https://content.rollcall.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/2023CQRCCongressionalCalendar.pdf

Especially in light of their salaries: https://pressgallery.house.gov/member-data/salaries

This seems to me to fall into the `not a bad gig if you can find the work' category.

I expect that having a conversation with them about living within their means and putting something aside for a rainy day and balancing input and outgo and that the position they are in is a direct outcome of choices they have made would be as well received as when I have that one with my children?

I rarely confuse dreams with reality, but recently, I have been certain my attorney asked me, "Did you buy a new coat?" and handed me a package. He says he did not, and I have looked for the package but can't find it.

I DID order a coat. It has gone from LA to Seattle, and is now in Grand Rapids. It's seen more of the west than I have.
