Snopes oddly released a "this is false" on that a few days ago.

Edit, found the link: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/trump-very-fine-people/

Interestingly enough, ADHD brains aren't affected by the addictive qualities like normies are. They just go back to their noisy dysfunctional state without it.

Good call-out. Those kinds are so annoying, and accomplish nothing. I just jump 2/3 down the page and scan for the word and leave when I found it. They got 0 impressions, 0 clicks, and wasted their bandwidth serving up the junk.

The largest grift ever

All of his work has been grifts from the OG X to PayPal and beyond. He just seemed enigmatic or inspired to some people for a time, enough that kool-aid was drunk. (South Africans do have a way of mesmerizing people though, must be the accent.)

That some good technology happened to pop out of it along the way had less to do with him, and more the engineers tasked with making it happen.

And as much chain fast food as possible. They're all doing it to varying degrees.

They also have less workers per store now as they employ tablets for ordering, I believe, and some cooking processes have been simplified or removed.

I think I respect this comment the most.

Motorola released the Skip tag line around 2013, including a keychain battery that could charge your phone, and had Bluetooth and could use that service to locate whatever it was attached to.

...in 2013.

Hey, to the positive, less than 1/3 of the country. First, if you look at vote numbers versus total population in previous elections, as well factoring in as the total population including those that can't vote for various reasons. Then, factor in that the party of shit nazis is disenfranchising remaining R voters at lightning speed, the party is massively in debt in some states and basically ceasing to exist, more of the insurrectionists continue to go to prison, the rest of the crazies end up doing something stupid and get arrested...

Things are looking up as that fraction heads towards 1/4 and hopefully they'll go back into their stinky rotting little hole where they belong. Their Russian troll daddies just make the presence look larger and more present than they really are.

There are plenty of remote work jobs that are hiring globally now, not just the US or India. There are entire companies that are basically 100% ephemeral. Yes, it sucks for US workers that people in other countries are in the same job sandbox, but the jobs also exist. AI won't change this either, you still need a person that knows the AI is belching out dogshit code, it'll likely just reduce the number of code monkey jobs.

The rail route they're trying to enable starts in rural east Utah, then heads into Colorado and travels mere feet away from the the Colorado river. Contamination of that water source would only affect Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, California, and Mexico. What could possibly go wrong?

Air source heat pumps are just air conditioners that can move the heat in two directions because they have an extra valve installed. They're no more special then air conditioners that only work one way. It's the same science.
