Bingo. Overturning Chevron would effectively neuter any regulatory agency’s power to regulate their area of expertise. And that’s particularly scary when we’re talking about agencies that rely on scientists to inform their rulemaking. The EPA is only one of many agencies that would basically become powerless overnight.

Toufexis has such a uniquely recognizable voice. I felt like the Leonardo Decaprio meme when he popped up on Expanse.

It’s a shame, you could tell he really cared about the franchise.

Hmm maybe not, my bad. Their site says XXL (their biggest) would fit waist size 44-46in, so that might not work for you.

For reference, I’m 5’ 10” around 170 and their medium is perfect for me.

Such a catchy song! And the dancing is freaking hilarious. Brought a grin to my face every episode.

32degrees cotton terry joggers stand up really well, and are super comfy and affordable. I’ve been wearing them for years and they still look new. Don’t get the fleece or tech stretch joggers though, those are shitty quality for some reason and pill up immediately.

Can one take a stake in a company? Or do they buy a stake in a company by purchasing shares? Why can’t we just use the words that are meant for the thing we’re describing?

Taking a stake implies that they just yoink grab it and it’s theirs. Buying a stake means spending money to own a share. Maybe it’s a silly technicality, but words matter goddamnit.

Oh I definitely remember seeing the movie. I even remember the VHS dust jacket on the shelves of Blockbuster. But who the hell knows lol

Lol I got into a pretty heated argument with a group of friends, half of whom definitely remembered the movie and even started recounting some of the plot. The other half had no idea what the hell we were talking about.

Heh yup! That’s part of the effect, a whole generation potentially conflated Shaq’s movie with a movie that was never made. Scroll down the link I posted, they mention it. So bizarre.

Why don’t we talk about the nearly 28,000 dead Palestinians? We can’t rebuild them for any amount of money, they’re dead.

Shazaam!

Me neither! This was news to me. For no reason I always thought it was a Russian company.

Seconding this. I’ve been using a MX Master 3S for a little more than a year, and it’s great. Incredibly solid build quality, long battery life, and the best scroll wheel I’ve ever used. It’s magnetic, so the wheel’s individual ‘clicks’ as you scroll are incredibly satisfying, but you can also turn them off so it’s just a smooth scroll. And since it’s magnetic, you can flick it once and it just keeps scrolling and scrolling and scrolling. Surprisingly useful for very long websites and for interacting with applications that heavily rely on the wheel for zooming. I initially scoffed at the price, but it’s one of those examples where the quality is worth it.

Summer Lee is awesome. She asks great questions in committee, doesn’t pull any punches, and communicates like an actual human being. I’m a Jew, and I’m begging anyone in her district to please vote for her. Don’t let the Pro-Israel lobby make your electoral decisions.

Totally agree. All this mind-bogglingly malicious treatment of prisoners makes even the lightest sentence a possible death-sentence. Prisoners are human beings, and deserve to be treated as such.

I keep coming back to Dostoevsky’s line:

“The degree of civilization in a society can be judged by entering its prisons.”

-Fyodor Dostoevsky, The House of the Dead

I don’t like doing it, and I would be thrilled to throw my money at a single service that allows me to stream anything I want at high bitrate 4K. I’d actually be willing to pay a pretty high premium for that. Money is not the issue, it’s the quality of service. I genuinely wish there was a way to pay for a service that benefitted the film industry while providing a quality service to me. Until that’s the case, I’ll continue sailing on a ship that gives me the highest-possible quality content.

Some of us just have a shitty memory, it’s not always about living in an alternate reality. I owned up to my mistake, because that’s what people in this reality should do when they’re wrong.

Yeah my bad, I went back to the media coverage, and you’re right. There were all these internal leaks and rumors about a pledge some staffers wanted him to make about only serving one term, but he never actually made a commitment.

I don’t think Harris is the problem. I agree she’s a meh politician and a terrible communicator, but she’s done an acceptable job as VP, especially all the tie-breaking she had to do in the Senate early on. The VP is not some grand romantic office, it’s a backstop, and while I disagree with a lot of her ideas, I’m sure she’d do a fine/acceptable job if she had to take over. No one knows what kind of leader they’re going to be until they actually have to lead.

Biden should have kept his promise to be a one-term transition president, but since that’s obviously off the table let’s just do our best to win this election with the candidates we have, as uninspiring as they may be. We’re gonna have to fight hard for this one, and I think it’s too late to make such a significant change to the incumbent ticket.

Thanks for the contribution! 👍
