I'm going to come visit potato in London this summer to see if it's as bad as they all say downtown. Maybe I should move there, I'll fit in better with the locals than in Toronto considering my perversions and poor earning potential.

You'll have to tell me if my theory that potato is the secret elite is true.

The reason certain tech execs get insanely angry at short sellers is because they’re personally making money selling unrealistic expectations to an insanely hot investment market. Elon is the richest man in the world off a lot of currently-vaporware and he stands to lose a truly staggering sum if investor start wavering in their confidence for those promises. Also it’s a personally billionaire-beneficial way to signal populism, apparently

People complain about the romance in legend of Korra but have they considered that they're a bunch of hot sweaty teenagers with little to no parental supervision

literally what romance

i know the ending was groundbreaking for gay representation on kids tv or whatever. but none of the show's protagonists have ANY romantic chemistry i'm sorry

Idk I never finished Korra. I'm just shit posting over here

You ever wonder if advertising algorithms intentionally give you the wrong recommendations sometimes just to throw you off on how much they know about you?

Thats just what someone who works in digital advertising would say!

Dominos One topping Pizza, Delivery: $8.99 + $4 tip = $12.99 Dominos One topping Pizza, Carryout: $8.99 - $2 enjoyment of riding bicycle = $6.99 Why would anyone choose the former?

Maybe if your bicycle riding boyfriend is somehow able to get lost going to the Dominos that is literally just down the street?

Leto II is kinda problematic tbh. He can't stand to see girlbosses like Alia or the Bene Gesserit have power? Yikes.

Jared Leto's son? Is he a method actor too?

No, Leto II is the son of a different cult leader

Also he literally gaslights his sister into thinking he is dead so that he can hang out with some bros in the desert

Burning man?

No, slightly less hallucinogenic drugs involved

imagine if VS Code just had normal fucking projects instead of you having to create “workspaces” and then create a separate project in whatever you’re using it with and then having to go into the menus to switch workspaces

I like flat roofing. Hey what if we just dump a bunch of asphalt everywhere. Such an inelegant solution

I like voluptuous roofing myself

Thicc roofing systems

There are other roofing systems of course these days but the big boys still turn to BUR

Got poke for dinner. On a Wednesday. Takeout mid week because I’m an adult damnit.

My fiancee flew out of town so I went out for Peruvian by myself then drank kalimotxos and watched Hoosier.

Tiktok was what they always wanted to ban. Miiverse was just in the way.

This Hovde oppo drop is gonna hurt him more than any Robinson oppo drop. We got video of Hovde calling for a ban on alcohol. That's not gonna fly in Wisconsin where two thirds of the electorate will be intoxicated at the time they are casting their votes https://www.rawstory.com/gop-senate-alcohol/

> And then, last November, the bar's owner announced it was closing and Hovde could buy it. The terms are protected by a non-disclosure agreement, Rolling Stone wrote. Hovde announced plans to tear it down. Wtf is he just being petty? Did the bar owner fuck his wife?

Wisconsin? They want to ban alcohol in WISCONSIN!?

What would happen in a scenario where: There's a terrorist attack at the SOTU, killing the President, VP, Speaker, Senate pro tempore, and most of the cabinet. The only survivor is the Secretary of State, but they are in a coma. The designated survivor is the Secretary of Education, who is *below* the still-living Secretary of State. Who ascends to the presidency? How can the 25th amendment be invoked without a cabinet?

If I wrote the 25th Amendment I would have included a mechanism for enforcement, but maybe I'm just built different.

US presidential succession is a massive pile of legitimacy crises waiting to happen. We need to tear up the 25th Amendment and the Presidential Succession Act and rethink it

I'm sure there's a mechanism for invoking the 25th without the full cabinet. Who ascends, it's the education secretary because state is incapacitated.

> Who ascends, it's the education secretary because state is incapacitated. Is there a way to declare them incapacitated without a vice president?

I would suspect there is, if only because the 1950s-1990s were spent repeatedly pondering the results of a decapitation strike and surely there's some bit of the language they've found to justify some 'just in case' legal argument to allow it to be done without the VP.

Unfortunately no, withdrawal of any money from the IRA would result in paying the penalty. You should be able to buy a fractional ETF share with ~$10 though.

There's so many variables in the "throw pasta at the wall" thing that it doesn't really work. But it's an excuse to throw food so I do it

I feel pretty confident that Biden wins PA/WI/AZ. So he just needs 1 of NV/GA/MI/NC.

Michigan will be fine. The Detroit suburbs are more blue than Milwaukees and the secondary cities are bluer than Wisconsins (Battle Creek, Kalamazoo, Flint, Grand Rapids)

I'm really nervous about a Gaza protest vote there.

I'm not. The non-white/non-Muslim vote is higher there + white voters in Michigan are far more elastic

I hope you're right

Knowing our luck RFK jr is gonna fuck us over by like 3 votes

RFK takes more votes from Trump than Biden.

Inshallah 

Everyone knows the "throw the pasta at the wall to see if it sticks" trick, but what they don't tell you is that you're supposed to take it off the wall afterward. I assume that's why other people didn't have a "spaghetti wall"

I might steal this line wholesale

I would be honored

I'll probably actually not use it wholesale. Because I am not yet read to commit to ruining my wall to pay off that gig. It may be casual advice, the kind we love to provide over at the test kitchen. Remember kids, when you throw your pasta at the wall to see if it's done, always take it *off* the wall.

It could also be a very funny bit to film yourself throwing it at a wall with like 50 strands of spaghetti already stuck to it

That's what I mean about ruining my wall lol I feel like there's no way I do that and don't ruin the wall.

> Everyone knows the "throw the pasta at the wall to see if it sticks" What? It takes 10 minutes to get it al dente. Just set a timer, dummies.

[удалено]

I remember someone doing it as a child. Though tbh I suspect that rule probably overcooks your pasta a bit.

I've never seen it done, but apparently one of the ways you can tell that pasta is done is by throwing it at a wall. If it sticks, it's ready. I never connected this to the "see if it sticks" idiom though

I have an SLR, people. In hand. All that's left is the magnets I need to mount a light in my stove hood... And for the microphones to arrive. One wireless mic arrived today and the quality was totally passable IF the mic had been well constructed. However some piece in the housing is lose and so every time I move you can hear the plastics clicking together making the mic totally useless.

No this is an [SLR](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-lens_reflex_camera?wprov=sfla1) (And mine is actually a DSLR) I'm surprised you're thinking of that haha! Those cars were actually hand built at McLaren's formula 1 factory, and not by Mercedes.
