The second case that begins next month began with a lawsuit filed in the US District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia by the Justice Department and eight states in December 2020, during former President Trump’s administration.

I was once accused on Reddit of being a bot after spending half an hour crafting a reply to a question with detail and examples. It’s a great way to discourage people from trying to be helpful 🫠

On “we as people can perceive imperial temperatures a lot better than metric,” I’d agree to disagree here - Celsius is pretty straight-forward. Temperate is temperature, it’s just about what numbers you’re assigning to which temperatures.

0°C is when water freezes, and 100°C is when water boils. A 10°C day is cold, a 20°C day is mild, a 30°C day is hot, and a 40°C day is when you melt.

Whatever you grew up with is probably what is going to be easiest for you to comprehend, but Celsius is no more difficult or less perceptible, just a different value range.

According to Elizabeth Bergman, an associate professor of political science at Cal State East Bay, the outside money is evidence of the toss-up nature of the race, and the way politics has been played since the Supreme Court’s 2010 Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission (FEC) decision, which knocked down limits on corporate campaign spending. Such independent expenditures are often made without the knowledge or consent of a particular candidate.

“They don’t just throw their money around willy-nilly – they make good, astute investments,” Bergman said. “This one makes particular sense to me because it’s effectively an open seat.”

Ten years ago I’d say “wtf” but then I had ube keso (purple yam and cheese) ice cream. I don’t understand why it is not awful and is in fact delicious, and now I think the only valid way to judge an ice cream flavor (within reason) is to ignore the list of contents and just taste it.

Did you read concussy as concussy or concussy?

Until it becomes obsolete, unsupportable, the crux of your operation, and/or the basis for all of your decisions 😬

(Yes, I read the article, it’s just the signs, but yes, the above still applies!)
