Getting the media to lie for you only works for so long.

For Hitler, it worked until the Russians were literally on top of him and he was putting a bullet in his own head. And this was after years of his cities being bombed into rubble.

I want to compare Trump to DeSean Watson, but that's unfair to Watson.

What kind of nuts should I give them? Deez?

OMG they have Whole Foods in Russia?!?

My favorite Christmas Carol knockoff was the Blackadder Christmas special. In it Blackadder (the main character played by Rowan Atkinson) starts off as a good man, kind and helpful to others. On Christmas Eve he is visited by three ghosts who convince him to become a complete bastard instead. On Christmas morning he goes around fucking people's shit up, with the highlight being him kicking Tiny Tim's crutch out from underneath him.

Literally millions of takes on A Christmas Carol and that's the only one (to my knowledge) that pulled a reversy. Just amazing.

Ergonomic AND energy efficient

FWIW I don't think it's really all that energy-efficient. Air, being much less dense than solids, contains comparatively much less heat energy. The "cold" of a refrigerator is mostly stored in the things inside it, not in the air inside it, so letting all the cold air out to be replaced by warmer air does not have a huge effect on the overall temperature of the fridge. I think you're right that having a door which interferes with the insulating envelope is going to be worse than just opening the main door once in a while.

Do you have a designated table you put the peanuts on?

Lol I get enough abuse from my neighbors for feeding the crows as it is. If I put out a crow table they're going to sic ICE on me.

some products are already as good as they can get and no longer need innovation

I just saw a poster for a sort-of cool fridge innovation: It has a door-in-the-door that you can open to get out commonly used things without having to open the main door and let all the cold air out. It's called a "Conservadoor" refrigerator.

The kicker is that I saw this on Antiques Roadshow and it's from the 1950s.

Even cheaper to tape up a piece of paper that says "GO BUY SOME USELESS BULLSHIT".

TBF even crows are a lot bigger than what I always thought crows were. I've seen them up close since I've been feeding my local murder peanuts, and these guys are the size of roaster chickens.

I've been feeding roasted (and unsalted) peanuts to my local crows for three years now. Those ungrateful bastards haven't given me shit in return. One time I thought they had given me some little seeds and berries, but I realized they had just puked those up to make room for the peanuts.

Of course he got it from Hitler, who got the idea from America's "Manifest Destiny" philosophy. It's fascist turtles all the way down ...

I cahn't believe you've done this.

no possibility the US could compete due to extremely high labor costs

High labor costs and environmental regulations ... both of which MAGA is speed-racing getting rid of. If we actually end up being able to compete with China again in manufacturing, we'll be (even more) utterly fucked (than we already are).

CAPS LOCK is on the left side of the keyboard. So we can narrow down his recent stroke to the right side of his brain.

I helped a former girlfriend move out of her apartment years ago. I brought along a tub of spackling paste to fill the nail holes she'd left in the wall (it was even the kind that goes on pink and then dries white, which is pretty handy). She was mind=blown as she'd never seen anything like it before. I asked her how she filled nail holes and she said she used chewing gum and white-out.

I kinda miss newspaper boxes, that solid slam they made when you closed them. Haven't seen one in more than a decade.

He didn't really mean gang violence -- he meant black people violence, and Tyler the Destroyer isn't black.

he valued “open debate and the exchange of ideas”

My parents are avid watchers of the PBS News Hour and this is exactly how that show was portraying Kirk. My parents were all "oh this is terrible that he was murdered", but fortunately they've started learning about the things Kirk actually said from other news sources. PBS News Hour is not at all what it used to be (when it started out as the MacNeil/Lehrer Report) and a quick glance at their list of corporate sponsors makes it crystal clear why not.
