My ex-wifey could sit and read for hours. She'd be all "Oh, are we here already?" no matter how badly I drove.

Do they have a boat version of this?

I get car sick easily but on open water I have to sit and watch the horizon or it's adios cookies.

Well that's not going to work on bigger animals (e.g. buffalo) as you can only carry back 100 lbs at per hunt.

Never heard of a hard limit on population. What happens if you go over?

It was terrible for girls born in China when they had their one child limit.

ourmandave — Sat, 13 Jun 2026 16:22:39 +0000

Trump already chose the Binance money-launderer Zhao which was a competitor of FTX.

But the administration loves frauds, so maybe if Bankman can come up with a bribe.

They could have used it to retrain coal workers or help them transition to some other job instead of a handout to plant and mine owners.

The ads will run on the coffee cup which will be the only thing the robot will make coffee in.

And it will have a Keep Warm option for monthly subscribers.

New comment by ourmandave in "WH proposes rules giving political appointees final approval on research grants"

ourmandave — Sat, 30 May 2026 16:52:37 +0000

Translation: The administration needs the power to pivot based on whatever narrative we're pushing at the moment.

Example: "They're eating the dogs, the people that came in, they're eating the cats."

Cancel Haitian grants. And also round them up in deportation holding facilities.

Is there any PSAs about this I could share with those who are totally unaware or "don't think it's that bad"?

My wake up moment was at Walmart self-check out when there was an error and the monitor showed screen shots of me from every angle. "So that's what the back of my head looks like."

That's when you notice they have more cameras than casinos.

then calling the other side liars because they disagree with your rhetoric

The POTUS has lied about immigrants since the moment he came down the escalator in 2015 and hasn't let up since.

From the old tired crime arguments of the past to outright bs (eating cats and dogs!).

Honestly I wish that was all he lied about, but nothing is sacred.

intentionally malevolent

Everything anti-immigration under both Trump terms comes directly from the fascist Stephen Miller. From blocking Muslim countries to trying to end birth right citizenship.

Of course he has full support from Trump who usually lies about knowing fascists he's had lunch with or tells to "stand back and stand by."

And endlessly lies to demonize immigrants. "They're not sending their best." "They're eating the cats and dogs."

SPLC has an article on Miller if you want to waste your time.

The spokesperson said that the exposure was linked to a third-party platform provider that supports “certain Trump Mobile operations.” Walker did not name the provider.

Assuming somebody left a database open or password exposed.
