Apart from everything else, that's quite the immune system.

And yet very possibly not the worst person nominated for that specific vacancy.

Samuel Alito, a federal judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, was nominated four days after her withdrawal and subsequently confirmed.

So a little bit of investment in stadiums here, a new TV deal there, some exciting QB play, and a sprinkling of Canadian exceptionalism...... Sorry, wrong CFL.

Some people think that failing ballasts will trigger their thermal protection, so it could be as simple as cooler weather or components that are failing but haven't yet, and a little variability in temperature or the intial jolt of electricity may make it work for a while. I generally found CFLs to be finicky and annoying after a while, though i don't recall ever having one that seemed to die completely and then come back.

I actually kind of like that Apple has become a boring and iterative company for the most part. I just use the same glass and metal rectangle until a few months after my upgrade eligibility on my work plan (because I always forget when it is), then I get whichever glass and metal rectangle is cheap now. I routinely forget which iPhone I use, and my life is no worse because of it.

Okay, I just looked it up. It's a 13, and I did remember, but I was not at all confident.

If 1960s Charles Schulz had ever heard of tacos, this is pretty much the exact strip he would have done.

At my kid's elementary school, they just have a charging rack full of cheap Chromebooks and the kids check one out in the morning and put it back in the afternoon. The middle schoolers get to take them home.

This. For soft crumb American sandwich sliced bread, you want as little air circulation as possible, balanced only by not crushing the loaf. A bread box is a quaint place to toss the bread once you squish the air out, but without the bag it's basically the same as the chaotic evil option.

Ghost pepper sky raisin.

I hope they got to the root of the problem.

1. Good. What a horrible person. "In the phone recordings, Ryan uses a anti-gay slur against David Coulter, the county’s highest elected official, who is gay. She also referred to Blacks in the U.S. as lazy. 'I’m not systemically racist. I’m a new racist,' said Ryan, who was first elected in 2010."

2. I'm not sure schadenfreude and relief that some asshole finally found the limits of their insulation from consequences quite counts as "uplifting."

Sorry. The poster says to give it the beans. 🤷

Literally. They are all forming some kind of axis... of evil...

Note to that Katalin Novák, part of Orban's party, had to resign due to the fallout from pardoning an asshole who was in jail for pressuring child victims to withdraw their testimony against a literal pedophile.
