  • Back then you could just straight up describe ADHD symptoms in four panel format and everyone would go "heh!" but a certain number of people would read this and think "this comic strip is now central to my personality"

  • "Far left" is when "actually kind of try to govern"

    • The Hill, apparently
  • Their voters are the former, the politicians are the latter. It's a sick cycle of enabler abuse by authoritarian followers and cluster B sickos

  • The rings are, in cosmic terms, exceedingly temporary. We're lucky to have lived at the same time as them.

  • Selections from Wikipedia, for others who may find it interesting:

    Daphnis's eccentricity causes its distance from Saturn to vary by ~9 km (5.6 mi), and its inclination causes it to move up and down by ~17 km (11 mi).

    As it orbits, it creates gravitational ripples on the edges of the Keeler gap as ring particles are attracted toward the moon and then fall back down toward the ring. The waves made by the moon in the inner edge of the gap precede it in orbit, while those on the outer edge lag behind it, due to the differences in relative orbital speed. In a photograph taken on January 18, 2017, a tendril of ring particles can be seen to extend toward the moon; according to JPL, "this may have resulted from a moment when Daphnis drew a packet of material out of the ring, and now that packet is spreading itself out."

    Also, it little resembles any moon I have seen. It is more akin to a fat grain of rice.

  • Alive, but well?

  • Welcome to Buttburp, population you. I'll be in the bomb shelter

  • Glass is best. I usually only see them dried or in cans around here.

  • I've heard it can give you gas. Just an oblique fart joke

  • Yeah, just don't use it too often. And avoid using it from cans, BPA-free usually means they used BPS instead

  • I don't even think there should be a stock market, or companies not owned by the employees. Hell, I might have enough of these to get a bedtime Arya Stark chant going.

  • He sure does seem firmly intent on creating a shortage of low-earning labour. Probably nothing to unpack there!

  • Good for him, but always a little worried when someone does something I approve of. What are they, crazy?

  • did not get there by not being an idiot

    This applies to both of them too. They weren't elected for being smart, they both are smart but they leaned on charisma, speaking skills, and a sense of 'genuineness' to win their supporters' favour. I really meant it. People simply do not get elected for seeming smart, and if they are smart they won't try to sound smart while running for office in America.

    I was fond of Obama when I was younger, but I look back with disdain on a lot of his track record. He sold people hope, and people look back on the time before Trump with understandably rosy glasses though, so I don't begrudge anyone liking him.

  • Sorry for the confusing double negative, Trump sounding that way is exactly my point

  • I've had good success buying second hand on eBay, but I bet you could also do worse than getting used parts off Gumtree, look for anyone selling a broken or outdated computer - or in the free section - and spend some time going through a pile of ewaste, shucking all the drives, and then running tests on them.

  • She really is a treasure, isn't she?

  • Two important facts. One, there is no such thing as idiot-proof. Two, anyone in charge did not get there by not being an idiot.

  • I wouldn't bet a dime that the sun would rise tomorrow on a gambling app run by a guy like him.
