Repubs will get rid of him but the plan was, and so far apparently still is, to wait until after January next year, after the midterms and so that Vance will take over with less than half the term remaining, allowing him to run twice more. Their hope was that keeping him around until the midterms would help them hold the majority in both Houses of Congress, more than Vance would be able to. But by now, some of them are regretting that, since he's going off the deep end further and faster than they expected. They might lose both Houses anyway and now he's started this catastrophic war. I'm sure some of them are arguing for getting rid of him sooner than planned at this point.
Personally when my toner runs out I will buy Brother toner to reward them. Even if it costs more than off-brands, it lasts so long it's not like it would save me that much money per year anyway.
If you wear glasses or contacts that are for seeing at a distance, it's hard for your eyes to focus close-up for very long. Same for if you don't wear glasses at all, if you are reading a lot. So depending on your situation you may just need to take your glasses off while reading, or pick up some cheap reading glasses at the drugstore--making sure to get the right type for easily focusing on the page, or even get bifocals. Best bet is to get an eye exam and tell the optometrist what you've said here, so they can figure out what your best options are.
Yeah, I was over-simplifying to make my statement more dramatic and semi-funny, because so many people hate the clock-switching.
It's complicated. DST is mostly observed in North America, Europe, and part of Australia, and mostly since pre- or during WWII, BUT yes there are a few countries that started later. There are also some original ones that stopped observing it and then started again later. Also, some of the people still alive from when it started would have been too young to be able to agree to it.
So I'll amend my statement to "The vast majority of people alive today didn't agree to DST". Doesn't have the same punch.
This one may sound a bit silly, but it's worked for me quite a few times:
"Whatever happened before or might happen later, right now, just for this moment, everything's fine."
(of course, if something bad is actually happening at a given moment you're probably not going to be spending time remembering that little tidbit. It's for when you're feeling depressed or anxious).
There’s nothing especially triumphant about this trip as it was already known to be achievable.
It's been so long since we did this that it's all new people and newer technology now (although unfathomably, they used Microsoft products on a critical mission!?! but I digress). So before attempting to land on the moon, they still have to do the preliminary missions to test all the systems and work out any bugs--and they found some. So this was important, and a success.
I think actually watching some of the video would help with that. I watched some video of events while they were up there, what they were feeling and how much they obviously cared about each other and what they were doing.
Tonight I watched the splashdown and felt unexpectedly emotional about it, not sure whether it was contemplating the enormity of the achievement, or the display of the good and smart and positive side of humans working together to do something big again instead of the constant drumbeat of destruction, or maybe just that we didn't have yet another disaster.
The only issues I've had with LW so far has been how aggressively it blocks things for privacy. I had to change some of the default settings to let me access some sites even though that reduces the amount of privacy.
What kinds of issues did you have, and what's better about waterfox? I may need to check it out.
Let me guess, it'll start shipping in two weeks?
