Hit the old man enough to win by decision but not actually hurt him. That’s the only real winning path - and exactly what happened.

I’d vote for you if even one of these getss worked on. We

Execs at Pfizer: “Shit, time to fire up the checkbook. That’ll shut him up.”

Basically the US response playbook for NKorea for the last 50yrs. Them: Does something antagonistic. Us: $hutup.

Both of those languages LOVE to compound their nouns - smashing smaller words into massive ones. Like the simple “pasta + asciutta = pastasciutta = dried pasta” or not simple “Donau­dampfschifffahrts­gesellschafts­kapitän = Danube steamship transport company captain”. All languages do it, but these do it with gusto.

Hard to tell. Need something like “bits of information per syllable” to get at efficiency. Just eyeballing it, Vietnamese, English, and Cantonese seem most likely the most efficient.

Isn’t this just a simple case of “get the moisture away”? Blowing into the dishwasher doesn’t move the moist air away, it just moves it around in the box. Blowing out pulls the moist air away from the dishes and out into the room.

If your box fan was pushing dry hot air (like a hair dryer), hot enough to meaningfully speed up evaporation, then blowing in would probably be better.

I too saw this in the not great tv show, A Discovery of Witches

Why does anyone believe anyone is on the fence right now?

There are people who had made up their minds months ago, or longer, and cowards.

Such as this gem from Bush 2?

As an American: Me too 😮‍💨

• Front right coin pocket: Tiny Swiss Army knife - mostly for the scissors
• Front left: Phone
• Back right: Whatever to do list I have for the day, car keys on carbineer tucked in

• Cargo pockets or others: whatever my kids have handed me to hold onto for them. Today: 13¢, two painted rocks, and a Lego minifig

A prosecutor. Not specifically his. But he has so many they all kinda blend together.

Why did that feel like a repurposed eulogy?

Why not just swap?

One major complication to this is that many on that non-voting left are just unable to. Systematic voter suppression that adds unnecessary hurdles to voting, poll location closures, and just the fact that many of these folk can’t take the day off to vote, all come together to drive these numbers way down.

Your vote matters.

And if you want to multiply your impact, help some other folk to the polls. Last cycle I messaged my neighborhood that if anyone wasn’t able to get to the polls due to a transportation limitation that I’d drive them. I got 9 people turned out who wouldn’t have. And don’t wait for election day. Start early. Help folks who may need an ID or to get registered to get over that hump, and get people out to early voting if it’s available in your area. These are easy, and it builds representation for your community. Do it.

These are the best. The Flex Firehose ones may not be super repairable, but they straight up last forever. I wore a rotation of 3 of these for 3 years straight before I saw the first fray.
