Birds of a feather. Joe isn’t great about Palestine, trying too hard to be politically delicate about it I think, but Donald is absolutely going to support Israel without hesitation.

After all, only thing that matters to the Don is whether you can pay for his support…

I once thought the point of conservatism was to put the brakes on wild new ideas and rapid changes, play advocate for the old ways and make sure we’re slow and thoughtful about new ideas. Then I realized that apparently the job is to drag everything absolutely backwards.

As it was before, so it shall be again. This is the will of the GOP it seems.

Wire coat hangers are going to be inexplicably more popular than plastic again too. No relation I’m sure.

Second this. I don’t believe the chef would care.

Whether all at once, over hours, for one table or six, all you are to the chef is plates to be filled. Except for timing a table’s dishes to send out at once they wouldn’t even care what table to go to, much less if the same customer is making repeat orders or a quick table turnaround on multiple customers. He gets his pay all the same either way.

No, I think this is solely with the server. Your choices annoyed her, and if there were tips involved even more so. Quicker you are in and out is the quicker you leave your tip and she gets another customer in to tip, which depending on your location could be very important to her livelihood.

I recommend Dockge over Portainer if you want a web admin panel. https://github.com/louislam/dockge

It’s basically docker compose in a website, and you can just decide one day to turn it off and use the compose files directly. No proprietary databases or other weirdness.

Y’all need to get a word in with your representatives that what’s needed is legislation preventing budget bills from containing anything other than budgets.

That would solve this problem real quick. It’s been sounding stupider and stupider using the budget meeting to force unpopular agendas down throats or else the government is held hostage.

I think it would fit the bill if budgeting was held up over allocations, one side wants more border spending, one side wants more educational spending, etc, that would make sense but “allow us to attach this whole other unrelated law to declare the sky is actually green(which also contains a tag along that I get to be emperor), or nobody gets paid” is just ridiculous.

You jest, but sometimes I wonder if there would be a huge market for smoke and engine noise simulators. Given those are the two biggest things emanating from the parking lot car show, followed by sound systems, I do wonder…

Regarding 2, it feels to me as time wears on there are fewer and fewer online spaces in general. I fear it won’t be long before the internet is just a handful of “competing” social media companies and that one outlier group running the “Fediverse” that the propaganda says is the “Dark Web”.

Many don’t think he can pull it off, which is the scary part that might let him do it.

“Oh, that’s all talk. He can say what he wants but can’t do shit without the House and Congress, and if he wanted to change things to get more terms? With states majority agreement that’s required? Not in his lifetime. You worry for nothing, PassingThrough, it’s all showmanship, as it always has been. And no, the Army wouldn’t help such an obvious fool overthrow the government either.”

It’s not really because it fell over. It’s because it wasn’t supposed to fall over. Consumable launch materials don’t contend with this because failure to return is a success. This is a failure. This must be learned from and fought against/prevented going forward.

Sadly, this is not an isolated opinion. Not just one fringe crazy that can be talked over and ignored. There are many more like him, that want to see things like these be reality again, and [insert Trump’s current polling numbers] percent of Americans that seem to agree at least in spirit or are somehow very, very unaware.

I fear for the future.
