didnt he just shell out another extra 276 mil (accountable donations) and several other in non-accountable donations (allegedly)? he probably still pissed that peter thiel managed to place his man as vp for peanuts while he got the sack after only six months and 100mil spent. fun to watch caligula and his oligarch bidders taking apart the empire bit by bit.

america is a continent. let’s take back our vocabulary (fellow european here). the little orange man shows very well what i mean when he started giving names to the gulf of mexico.

a simple ride on mower with a diy inter row disc (basically just a belt and pulley with a spring) may be enough. probably just get sonebody with a tractor and inter row disc weeder to do the job for you.

i has a similar moment when visiting a good friend that just moved back to romania after brexit and while sitting at a classy café, a well dressed guy approached my friend and started making a lot of melodramatic bowing and effusions and calling him with what was clearly a nickname. after he left, my friend simply said that they were homies on cs1.6, probably met in real life thanks to the cafes (i bet romania was a messed up place in early 00s). i felt a urge of envy, not so much for their skills in cs1.6 but because i totaly missed out on those early days of lan parties and internet multiplayer games with real freedom (i only played single player duke3d and other FPSs with my cousins as a kid, taking turns).

happy about this since I still daily an iphone se 2016 (same form factor as the 5s but 6s internals) and about to change it's tiny battery and maybe get yet another iphone og se just in case this one stops working. abysmal battery life and tiny screen makes for the perfect dumb smartphone. aside from google search, the phone is virtually ai free (most of the ai and majroity of the social apps do require at least ios16 o 17), i do have to have an older android to use 'institutional' apps (meaning that there's a phone always at home with my banking and govt id apps). sent from the tiny screen of the SE
