Trump and the GOP are directly responsible for killing the part of ACA that required people to have insurance in 2017. That is what allowed all the young healthy people to drop their insurance which caused costs to go up for everyone else. It de-socialized it.

Sounds great to me. All the React tooling is annoying.
I don't own one. Can someone objectively confirm a few things about Glocks? Is the following true?:
-
They don't really have a "safety". They have several mechanisms that prevent accidental fire when a finger isn't on the trigger, but if you have a round in the chamber and pull the trigger, it's going to fire (which sounds obvious, but I mean it doesn't have a safety switch like a bb gun usually does)
-
You have to pull back the slide to chamber a round and fire. And once it's chambered, the trigger just needs a light squeeze to fire (as opposed to a full motion squeeze - in other words, the trigger is partially pulled back once racked and easier to fire)
If the above is true, these two things in combination seem like an irrisponsible design to me. You are asking for accidental fires like the one that happens recently where a guy pointed a gun at some kids in his driveway and claims "the gun went off". You should either have a real safety, or it should be harder to squeeze the trigger accidentally.
Circuit City blew all their money trying to create a disposable DVD called Divx. It was intended to replace video rental stores.

What, to rub it in? He's turned that town into a warzone of insanity. Might as well piss in the town square and head out.
Yea, I read it. I'm not buying it.
Brian understood the kitchy pot and burner decor. But, he didn't understand why it also involved sitting 8 hours a day in cold gazpacho that only came up to his balls.
Can you imagine being in the throws of violently vomiting and shitting, and your wife is like "That's hot. Let's do it.", and you're like "I'm down". What kind of lives are these people living?
If I'm reading it correctly, this has absolutely nothing to do with having sex with his wife. The final sentences explain he ate presumed bad rice the day before, got sick, and probably got vomit or shit on his dick - which caused a secondary skin infection. Same story whether he had sex with his wife or not.
I feel like this is just gift wrapping being a dumb racist hick in prettier paper. They are scared of cities because their full of black people, gays, and Mexicans. They like assholes who show the same level of hate as they do - who will keep the black people, gays, and Mexicans away. And they like someone who justifies hiding behind religion so they can tell themselves that God made them this dumb and rascist. So they can delude themselves into thinking they are really the good guy.
Nothing valuable, but I discovered a cache of Matchbox cars, coins, spoons, and small plastic toys all in a small spot in my yard when I first moved in. Seemed cool imaging the kids playing there years prior. Building tunnels in the dirt to drive their cars through and accidentally burying them for me to find later.
Just rewatched that as well. Some of my favorite parts:
- It's set in 2021
- His brain implanted hard drive holds a whopping 80GB. He uses a "doubler" to increase his capacity to 160GB. The whole plot of the movie is that he loads 320GB in, which leaks into his brain, and he has to get it back out before it kills him.
- The encryption key to the data is photos of a tube television screen that have to be faxed to the recipient.
- One futuristic aspect to his hotel room is that the TV wakes him up with a personal message on screen and then he uses it for a video call.
- The local rebels are a group called the Low-Teks - led by Ice-T. They end up having the highest end tech.
- The best doctor around is Henry Rollins.
The fetish stuff is all created by people who can't experience ASMR and just assume it's what being horny feels like. Sad really.
Muse for the Simulation Theory tour. Marching bands, lasers, smoke cannons, Murph... it had everything.
I don't like developers getting blamed for what is often due to being rushed to arbitrary deadlines from management. But, I will say I agree with the article in that a large portion of the development toolbox is completely fucked. The last 15 years of most business development has basically been this:
- Let's implement cool JS frameworks that don't really work with the browser natively!
- Let's execute browser code on the server and server code on the browser!
- Let's transpile code to artificially improve upon native languages and make our JS frameworks easier to code. We need a transpilation tool!
- Let's take "DRY" way too far! Everything we need should already be in existing code packages we can combine together. We need a package manager tool!
- Uh oh, it's too hard to start projects. We need a scaffolding tool!
- Uh oh, we now have too many packages. We need a bundling tool!
- Uh oh, our development environments are now too complicated to setup. We need a virtualization container tool!
- Uh oh, we have too many virtual machines. We need a container management tool!
- Uh oh, deployments are super complicated now. We need deployment automation tools!
- Ok, NOW we're setup to code 20% faster, but we need 3 new DevOps employees to support all this.
- Oh yea, we're "agile" now too. I think that means we fire our QA testers. I'm not sure. We can't agree on what being "agile" even means.
Not saying it's all bad. Mostly good ideas that have gone off the rails.
When the chest hair grows back, it's going to a whole new level.
Not really me. A friend of mine is moving out of state. His neighbor has been a total dick the entire time he's lived there. Constantly commenting on how my friend's yard isn't as good as his. Mean to my friend's wife and kids for no reason. Just an asshole of a person.
What are some ideas for fun pranks my friend can leave behind?
Most don't load for me. Just get a black screen. The ones I've checked were mp4s from imgur. Not sure if that accounts for all of them though.
Edit: I think it started after the most recent update. Edit 2: mp4s from catbox.moe also doesn't work. It shows a spinner at the bottom but never loads.

Since it recently hit Netflix, I decided to see just how bad Madame Web really is.
45 second in, while showing the ever-present Marvel logo with the flipping comic book pages, I notice the sound effect is different. It vaguely sound like pages flipping, but it's definitely a toilet flushing.
Did they buy into the bad reviews and literally decide to say: "check out this turd of a movie" with the intro sound?
Filter to 1-star and note how many reviews are direct copies of each other - many referencing that the Obamas are executive producers.
Pfizer has been sued by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who on Thursday accused the drugmaker of misrepresenting the efficacy of its widely-used COVID-19 vaccine.
This all revolves around conservatives focusing on ARR instead of RRR numbers on vaccine efficacy. Here's a description I found of the difference from another article:
> Let’s say a study enrolled 20,000 patients into the control group and 20,000 in the vaccine group. In that study, 200 people in the control group got sick and 0 people in the vaccine group got sick. Even though the vaccine efficacy would be a whopping 100%, the ARR would show that vaccines reduce the absolute risk by just 1% (200/20,000= 1%). For the ARR to increase to 20% in our example study with a vaccine with 100% efficacy, 4,000 of the 20,000 people in the control group would have to get sick (4,000/20,000= 20%).
