  • BREAKING: Pam Bondi Reportedly to Be Ousted as AG ‘Imminently’

  • Nothing lost, and she’ll be replaced with another just like her, so nothing gained.

    The snake has many heads.

  • US gas hits $4 as Trump tells other nations to ‘go get your own oil’

    Jump

  • Everyone tried to blame Biden for the spike. Wasn’t his fault that we had the worldwide whiplash in demand for fuel once Covid started to clear.

    We all said rightly that the president doesn’t control gas prices, at least those of us who had half a clue how economics worked did.

    I guess we were only partly right.

    Because when you bomb a country that controls a passageway for 20%+ of the world’s oil and LNG placing oil shipments in a chokehold, you sure as hell affect gas prices.

  • Be lucky if we make it that far.

  • Do you wash your clothes inside out?

    Jump

  • It’s both, though the dryer does it worse overall. The abrasion from washing machines as the agitator does its thing can rub and damage some clothes with the applied designs. That’s why inside-out is better for those clothes.

    The heating from the dryer will accelerate cracking no matter what, so taking anything out with a design you wish to preserve and air drying it is a better choice.

  • A 1977 Time Capsule, Voyager 1 runs on 69 KB of memory and an 8-track tape recorder

    Jump

  • The “8 Track” in Voyager is not your standard 8 track, it’s a DTR and is arranged differently than the consumer tape cartridge for music. It was shut down about a decade ago, not because it was failing, but because of the power requirements.

    FWIW, 8 tracks were pretty good sound for the time. Previously there was no portable music unless you brought a record player with you. They got passed up quickly by the cassette, though.

  • I would think not. They wouldn’t want anyone analyzing it and attempting to send code to the Voyager. Some asshole would break it for lols or politics.

  • Why does the US put so much emphasis on high school and also nostalgia for high school?

    Jump

  • “Was”. Not “is”. “In American History…”

    My use of past tense was deliberate.

  • Why does the US put so much emphasis on high school and also nostalgia for high school?

    Jump

  • I don’t think I see anyone else saying it: Because High School was the last school for the vast majority of people. It was the transition into adult life and responsibilities.

    In American history a lot of people didn’t even make it to High School. You got enough of an education to work whatever job, or were forced to quit schooling and start working because of family financial needs.

    College wasn’t needed for a good paying job that would be enough to own a home, car, have a family, etc.

    So High School was the end of the line for being a kid in school and whatever freedoms came with that. Especially for the Boomer generation the economy at the time really allowed a lot more freedoms for High School kids than had ever been available before.

  • It’s a turbocharged engine on a PHEV Mini. This car is finicky AF.

    Jump

  • Yeah. For sure. Bought some stuff off marketplace, even used is expensive.

  • No, it’s a turbocharged PHEV Mini. They’re very finicky, unfortunately.

  • I’ll go first. One of our local gas stations is out of premium gas. It may not seem like a big deal but one of our cars is a plug-in electric that also has a gas motor that requires premium. While it’s only one station now, It’s likely a direct result of US action in Iran. I think it’s just the leading edge of problems to come.
