It was Mitch McConnell and the Republics that blocked Merrick Garland, not the Democrats.

I think 2000€ ($2200) is about right. That gets you a Brompton C Line and all the accessories you need.

Or it gets you a perfectly fine road bike, gravel bike, or hardtail mountain bike, if those fit your riding style better.

With road bikes, you can spend obscene amounts of money chasing marginal weight savings. I will never understand spending $10000 on a road bike to save the amount of weight you lose by pooping.

I am willing to spend a lot more on a mountain bike. Good full suspension and robust wheels with high-engagement hubs hits $5000 easily.

Flipping Checo and Yuki is just as logical, is it not?

Whichever one first crashes into another Alpine gets signed for 2025.

the entire point of the court is to evaluate legislation against our constitution

That is not the entire point of SCOTUS. That is not even in the constitution; it is a power the court gave itself in Marbury v. Madison.

Most SCOTUS decisions are judging appeals against federal law (including the constitution). Occasionally they rule a federal law unconstitutional, but not usually.

Are you suggesting stones suffer psychological effects?

They probably know that if they put corn starch on Stonehenge they’ll be in jail for a few days and get community service, but if they put spray paint on a billionaire’s yacht, they’d get shot.

There is no reason why the message sync that works from phone to phone could not be implemented on the desktop client as well.

I feel for the hundreds of engineers at Microsoft who have been yelling about these security issues since day one, but cannot say “I told you so” because they’d get fired.

The noise is the worst part of race cars. Why do people want more of it?

Hearing damage is cumulative and permanent.

Sainz gets appendicitis, wins next race.

Norris breaks his nose, wins next race.

Can I print this black & white document even though I am out of yellow ink?

We are checking.

Solsbury Hill by Peter Gabriel. I have no idea why I used to hate it so viscerally. I have no idea why I now like it.

Get an A/V receiver, a computer monitor or dumb TV, and speakers. Then you can get a Roku streaming player and it cannot show you anything when you do not have its input selected on the receiver.

Even an inexpensive pair of bookshelf speakers placed on either side of the TV will sound better than built-in TV speakers. Add a center speaker and a subwoofer drastically improved sound.

Non-4k AV receivers are dirt cheap used.

Apparently everybody before 1800 was a bad parent.

The PB&Js your mom made and cut into quarters diagonally and brought out to you and your friends playing in the backyard when you were six. The ones with the toothpicks in them, indicating they have crunchy PB. Best after sitting for ten minutes so the jelly starts to leak into the bread a little bit. With a glass of milk.
