The reason Republicans block DC statehood is because the District votes Democratic, and they don’t want to give the Democrats more seats in Congress. How do they think Greenlanders would vote if conquered by Donald Trump?

The bouncer wouldn’t let them in the bar. With the Defiant crew, they were at capacity.

Yeah, I’m going to stick with Sequoia for now. The Tahoe and iOS 26 user experiences sound like a train wreck.

He’d be a ghost white character when he was named. Kirby’s first appearance was on the OG monochrome GameBoy, and he was white on the box art. He picked up his pink & red color scheme in his second game, on the NES.

No, they won’t. Greenland is part of NATO. Russia’s not foolish enough to poke that bear.

Yes, the ICE agent used violence to try to affect political change, he could be considered a domestic terrorist.

This is called the Jesus nut. It holds the main rotor onto the helicopter. It doesn’t have any redundancy, so if it fails, you’re going to be meeting Jesus in moments.

I can’t help but feel UI design peaked in the mid 90’s, but that may just be mid-life man yelling at clouds.

The Mario 64 70 Star, 70 Person Relay doesn’t sound like a competitive category, but does sound like fun.

I know now why you fry.

In a world without modern circuit breakers or GFI outlets, perhaps they wanted to keep the switch away from any water.

“I am the (coles)law!”

Now, was that two pips on my collar or just one? In all the excitement, I kinda lost count myself. But considering this is set at level 16, the most powerful setting of a type II phaser on Earth, and it could vaporize your head clean off, you gotta ask yourself, “Do I feel lucky?” Well, do ya, Captain!?!

So long as you say “I’m in” after you hit Ctrl+V, it counts.

Newport News is still around, it’s the only yard that’s built every nuclear powered aircraft carrier in the world, other than the Charles de Gaulle.

In the Christmas spirit, it’s mulled hot cider.

If enough GOP Representatives are upset about it, they can either band with the Democrats to file a discharge petition to force a vote, the same way they did with the Epstein files. They could also move forward with a motion to unseat Speaker Johnson entirely. If they’re unwilling to do either then, quite frankly, I don’t want to hear about their crocodile tears.

Gerrymandering only affects the House. For the Senate and the Electoral College, the district boundaries are fixed as the state boundaries. (I’m not saying that low population states don’t have a disproportionate influence in either body, I’m just saying the boundaries are fixed.)

Ah, that’s how we wound up with reverse Polish notation.
