Amateurs! They should’ve charged $4000 and handed you some terrible “medical food” on the way out.

You’re supposed to use a lighter
It’s like everything else conservatives think they want: “We want illegal immigrants out of the country! But we’re not willing to fund more immigration courts/judges. Let those court cases back up forever so they can stay here indefinitely! Oh wait…”
Conservative: “Tesla chose Texas for their new whatever, yeeeee fuckin’ haw yo! That’s a lot of money that will come into the state!”
Bystander: “But don’t they have to settle that case with the EPA before they can proceed? I mean, they totally fucked that river and will have to pay for cleanup.” (note: this is hypothetical river fucking)
Conservative (and Libertarians, oddly): “Yeah yeah whatever. That’s why we have the courts!”
Bystander: “Except that court case won’t be heard for years because the courts are backed up. Apparently there’s not enough money in the Federal budget this year to pay for more judges, courthouses, and lawyers to handle cases like that”
Conservative: “Then they need to increase taxes! Oh wait…”
Congratulations conservatives! With this ruling, you just drastically increased the size of the Federal government.
Simple administrative rulings are gone so now we’re going to end up with five zillion more expensive lawyers, a lot more judges, and a gazillion more cases before the courts.
It’ll also increase the cost of doing business! Because now instead of just having to occasionally deal with an administrative body full of technical people who know what matters and what doesn’t every company is now going to have to hire teams of lawyers to defend themselves in court and explain every little thing to a jury of total laymen.
The companies that violate the law regularly with the intent to “just pay the fines” will now have to defend themselves in court over and over and over again. You think immigration courts are overloaded? Now every federal court will be!
Perhaps they thought this would just result in businesses no longer having to comply with regulations? Hell no. Next year’s Federal budget is going to balloon in order to pay for all these new inefficiencies.
They are insane.
Of course, this is conservatives modus operandi: Don’t bother looking at real outcomes and real consequences of their actions! Instead, look towards tradition and religion and only that which is right in front of their face.
This achievement belongs to the tail end of GENX… The folks that brought us grunge.
To be fair, is as “new” as what the major record labels put out!
To be fair, that’s a very open ended question. I mean, what kind of bolt are we talking about? A standard lag bolt? If so you don’t tighten it! That’d be a trick question! You tighten the nut. Same thing applies with car wheel bolts. Tricky tricky!
Is it a hex bolt that also has a cross head? How tight are we talking?
I’m just going to assume bolts of lightning and Usain Bolt are off the table.
Hey now! This design met all the PM’s requirements 😤
The base assumption is that you can tell anything reliable at all about a person from their body language, speech patterns, or appearance. So many people think they have an intuition for such things but pretty much every study of such things comes to the same conclusion: You can’t.
The reason why it doesn’t work is because the world is full of a diverse set of cultures, genetics, and subtle medical conditions. You may be able to attain something like 60% accuracy for certain personality traits from an interview if the person being interviewed was born and raised in the same type of environment/culture (and is the same sex) as you. Anything else is pretty much a guarantee that you’re going to get it wrong.
That’s why you should only ask interviewees empirical questions that can identify whether or not they have the requisite knowledge to do the job. For example, if you’re hiring an electrical engineer ask them how they would lay out a circuit board. Or if hiring a sales person ask them questions about how they would try to sell your specific product. Or if you’re hiring a union-busting expert person ask them how they sleep at night.
Someone needs to make a GPU cooler with one of these ducks!
Nah just declare that churches worth over $1 billion that are influencing politics are no longer churches and therefore no longer tax exempt. Utah will change their tune immediately.
Trump campaign spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said that graduates would be screened “to exclude all communists, radical Islamists, Hamas supporters, America haters and public charges.”
Communists? 🎶 One of these things is not like the others 🎶
Alternative: We need more robotics engineers to build robots that can do the job.
Surprise everyone by bringing a grill!
This is seriously puplifting News!
Total Tank Commander. It’s the game where Santa rides into town in a Panzer.
The squarish thing pointing down is most likely a radiation detector:

The rest of it is point-to-point wireless networking antennas. Not sure which technology but it’s probably something specific to emergency alert/law enforcement.
The rectangular box in the back is a standard NEMA box that houses the electronics/power supplies for the other components.
The conspicuously missing area under the oval office is the president’s evacuation/bomb shelter area with underground connections to the various tunnels used by the Secret Service to move around in secret (or just in a hurry).
Supposedly the tunnels under there connect pretty damned far. It’s like… The forbidden tour haha.
The British suck in this situation for sure but the local racism this girl is experiencing is also bad. There should be an article about that too.
Everyone of every skin color belongs everywhere. There’s no location on earth that you “belong” based on your skin color or general relative appearance. The concept absurd.
This is crap. TikTok is just a video hosting platform with a powerful, China-controlled algorithm that keeps people addicted. If TikTok were to disappear today a new platform would rise to take it’s place within milliseconds. Seriously: Do you honestly think that everyone would just put down their phones and do something else because TikTok doesn’t work anymore‽
It’s not even being banned! Which is another reason why this article is total bullshit. ByteDance just needs to comply with the law that is meant to prevent the Chinese government from interfering in US politics (yes, that’s the real reason why that law was passed). That means they need to break ties with China or just outright sell the platform to some other company. If they let it die in the US they’d be throwing away billions of dollars which just isn’t going to happen.
Furthermore, China has absolutely no ground to stand on by complaining about TikTok bans. They ban all sorts of foreign-owned apps in China for more dubious reasons.
