Glow in the dark tape on the front and back of my phone and on the tips of the chargers to make them easier to find in the dark.

For the same reason my phone case is the brightest colored one I could find.

I had to get some clear heat shrink tubing to put over the charging cable ends to hold the tape in place otherwise it unravels after a few days use.

Sure they make lit USB cables but not in 20ft+

I'd really have preferred to have a bright solid glow in the dark phone case but for whatever reason barring I have one 3d printed (which will then not have the same protection of a normal cheap rubberized case) there isn't anything like that available.

Lead poisoning, it used to be popular for plates and cups cuz it made the food taste better (because the lead leached in and lead has a sweet taste), then later indoor plumbing (sometimes with lead pipes) became common like a decade prior to the founding of the Republican party in the 1850s. We didn't get leaded gas until the 1920s

Anyone considered getting rid of leaded avgas yet?

Or testing food for lead more stringently?

Like they had children suffering from lead toxicity recently from contaminated applesauce packages and it takes a fuckton of lead to cause toxicity.

as it seemed disingenuous to present both sides as equal

Because it is.

He had them ready to give him a third term before he finished his first.

Remember back when the republicans were all saying he was entitled to a third term because his first was nullified by the failed impeachment?

Didn't he already present one? Just it was so bad it was going to cause something like 20 million people to lose their insurance? So he couldn't even get the republicans to vote for it?... Went back and checked https://www.npr.org/2017/05/24/529902300/cbo-republicans-ahca-would-leave-23-million-more-uninsured yeah that did actually happen.

Still can't figure out why their voters either don't see it or don't care.

Like at least prior to trump you could kinda see it but now you just have to be in outright denial of reality.

My first thought was oh is that supposed to make me feel better that he had to be a bigshot lawyer to be able to get healthcare?

IMHO the one in the middle is the most comfortable to use.

I bought a pack of a hundred of them and put several everywhere I thought I might look for one.

Yeah considering they didn't discover electricity until the 1700s then they didn't even invent one that lasted long enough to be practical until 1879.
