He’s not even using the pretext of a trade imbalance to justify tariffs now. This goes way beyond his authority, but Congress and the courts have been asleep at the wheel so far.

Wow, that FIFA bribe worked fast.

Trying again would be in character for this DOJ. They went before a grand jury three times to try to indict the guy who threw a sandwich at an ICE agent. After the third no-bill, they switched to charging him with misdemeanors, which don’t require going before a grand jury. (A regular jury tossed those charges at trial.)

I’d say I’ve lost all respect for FIFA, but I never had any to begin with.

I feel like weekend before Thanksgiving is pretty standard for a mountain with a robust snowmaking system. Natural conditions are still iffy, though, (even with yesterday’s snow), especially on something steep and in the trees.

I don’t think the middle class knows about the first million, Pip.

Can’t be fired from a job you never legally had. Taps forehead

You can look at the flowers, but you can’t pick them.

With an atomic number of 241, it’s hardly small.

Why is he so against feeding the poor?

The footage of them in full face obscuring costumes, along with the mecha, is mostly straight from various Japanese shows, overdubbed into English. The US production company got Japan to shoot a little bit of extra content when Mighty Morphin Power Rangers became a smash hit, before they started rotating to other Japanese series to take footage from. You can make more money off of the toys, anyway, if you have new action figures and mechs every year.

At the end of the Strange New Worlds musical episode, after the curse is broken, there’s a cover of the TOS theme that didn’t make it onto the album.

It’s kind of like Java itself, Sun dropped the leading 1 after 1.4, following it up with Java 5.

It’s da bomb

There’s a long-standing bug in Excel, dating back to the original release, where it thinks 1900 is a leap year. This isn’t a mistake, though, Microsoft coded it this way because Lotus 1-2-3 thought 1900 was a leap year, and they wanted to be compatible so they could import Lotus spread sheets. However, by doing this, they locked themselves in, and they need to continue to have this bug even today to be compatible with old Excel spreadsheets.

There are also two other ways to see the MLB logo: you’re either looking at the front of a left handed hitter or the back of a right handed hitter.

It beats the old Hong Kong airport. Harbor at one end of the only runway, steep hill at the other end, so half the time pilots had to do a sharp turn right before landing or right after takeoff.

I’ve been playing My Time at Sandrock exclusively on my Steam Deck, so controller controls. It’s more focused on crafting instead of farming (you don’t unlock farming until you’re 2-3 in game weeks in), but it’s still very Stardew. I haven’t played the previous game in the series, My Time at Portia, but I understand it takes place in a more fertile area than Sandrock’s desert.

The Speaker is doing that all on his own. The House has been kept out of session since the end of September. He says it’s because he’s unwilling to negotiate on health insurance funding, but many suspect it’s because he doesn’t want to be forced into an Epstein vote. Either way, he’s pretty much abandoned his duties.

I don’t like anyone in the line of succession, but they at least largely lack the charisma, or whatever it is, that Trump has to attract his base.
