The difference is that Bernie:

  • would be advocating on behalf the American consumer.
  • wouldn’t have done this wild-ass tariff nonsense to begin with

Whereas Trump:

  • is a narcissist who is angry that Walmart is making him look bad.
  • because he caused the problem

I can appreciate when a stopped clock is correct, but i wouldn’t rely on it the rest of the time.

I did this with a remote.

Immediately found the old one the day the new one arrived. In the same place I’d been looking for weeks…

In my house, the tagline is “I put it in a safe place.”

I did not have Gattaca on my bingo card…

Great for the kid, though. I wish them a long and prosperous life.

I need a microwave that emits a continuous tone until I empty it…

If he’s a stickler for the format he’s a fed
If he’s a stickler for the format he’s a fed
If he really seems to mind
That your lines don’t really rhyme
If he’s a stickler for the format he’s a fed

I read the whole thing as “Fred”, and thought “That’s getting pretty dark for Scooby Doo. He’s not that bad”.

Mine was “If you’re happy and you know it”.

Edit: just saw that caption under the screenshot 😂

That was my favorite clay pot!

I hope he enjoys the full experience.

 

Over the past few days, I haven’t been able to access fedia.io over my cellular network, but it is fine over WIFI. I don’t know if the problem is on my end or Fedia’s. Its happening on every device and browser I’ve checked on or hotspotting through my phone.

I get a “SSL error”, “can’t securely connect to server”, “HTTP ERROR 408”, or “PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR” depending on the browser.

Someone on that one site fixed a similar issue by updating the site’s DNS IPv6 configuration. I don’t know if that helps.

 

I just went to charge my kitchen scale and it wouldn’t work until I dug out a USB-A -> C cable and plugged it into my desktop…

It just reminded me of how many devices like that I have. This scale, my wife’s sound torc, some car jumperstarters, and I think a one or two more…

I assume it’s because they just slap a usbc port on a dumb 5v circuit that doesn’t have a power negotiation controller. So the cable and the charger cant figure out the power needs of the device are and just never send any.

 

DISCLAIMER: I am in no way advocating for the spreading of a highly contagious and deadly disease or the abstention from safe and highly effective vaccines. But, this is No Stupid Questions, so…

Measles is known for wiping out your immune system memory and re-endangering you to pathogens you had once successfully fought off.

Allergies are when your immune system misidentifies something harmless (like pollen or peanuts) as a harmful pathogen and triggers an immune response.

So, what happens to allergies in people who get measles? Does it wipe out the immune system’s memory of the allergen? Does it expose them to develop new allergies? Do we even know whether it does anything to allergies at all, or has it never been studied? What about other auto immune diseases?

Secondly, if it does do something, is there some way that it can be utilized to help allergy sufferers? Not in the “give people a deadly contagious disease” kind of way (I’ve heard of the tapeworm thing), but is there something there that could studied and developed into a targeted drug or treatment? Or is the mechanism just too broad and dangerous.
