They're likely all getting their buns (and everything else) from Sysco anyways, so I can't imagine different sized buns would be that hard to source.

I make no comment about the merit of your argument either way, but hot damn you love to see the passion!

Um... unfortunately, that doesn't work, either. ::facepalm::

The ACA wasn't "watered down in the name of bipartisanship". The public option was removed because that's the only way Joe Lieberman, the 60th vote in the Senate, would vote for it. And yes, what initially came out of committee was not as progressive as we wanted, but if Lieberman wasn't even going to vote for that, there was no way he was going to vote for M4A.

Agreed. With the continued erosion of education, the onslaught of mis/disinformation, the hijacking of our brain chemistry, and the general constant anxiety of trying to exist under late stage capitalism, it's going to keep getting worse.

Steve Vladeck has a great substack article explaining this. The paid version goes into a more detail, but even the free portion gives a great explainer about just how fucking wrong Steven Miller is.

God money's not looking for the cure
God money's not concerned about the sick among the pure
God money, let's go dancing on the backs of the bruised
God money's not one to choose

Pretty apt for the times...

I know most are not fans of AI, but summarizing Ben Shapiro videos without having to watch them is a pretty good use case

Gemini Video Summary
Here is a summary of the video, broken down into key points:

  • Ben Shapiro's position: The video discusses Ben Shapiro's challenging position, as he tries to balance his disagreements with the Trump administration and the financial requirements of The Daily Wire [00:00].
  • Daily Wire's Financial Issues: The video references a deep dive on YouTube by Jose, which highlights The Daily Wire's financial troubles. These issues are attributed to the company's entertainment ambitions [00:41].
  • Criticism of Trump and Navarro: The video mentions Shapiro's attempt to influence Trump to heed more sensible conservatives and to dismiss Peter Navarro. It criticizes Navarro's trade deficit formula and tariff policies [02:06].
  • Candace Owens and Anti-Semitism: The video touches on Ben Shapiro's past association with Candace Owens, pointing out that he overlooked her anti-Semitic remarks until she criticized Israel [05:15].
  • Trump's behavior: The video also includes a discussion about Donald Trump, referencing his past comments and behavior [08:40].
 

When I play Stacked, I initially try to work through them all mentally and then submit them from 1 to 5, like below. You didn't get any additional recognition or anything, and this is pretty much the only game I even try to be extra with.

So what about y'all... What extra things do you do to make the games more enjoyable, whether it's to make it harder, something quirky, something random, etc?

Saw a banner that CleverGoat launched a new game, Crossherd. Very amused when I saw this summary.

 

Had similar problems with my P6P. There are multiple areas in my town where I show full / nearly full bars, but my service is terrible or non-existent (!). If I toggle Airplane Mode, I'll get great speeds until it drops out again. Sometimes this is 30 seconds, sometimes 30 minutes, sometimes hours/days. But at some point it will drop out again. Ugh...

 

It was pretty funny to see these back to back in my feed.
