Trying to solve the problem he caused, but with half as much money as he gave away to Argentina for similar economic blunders. Other countries get more aid from Trump than America - I thought that was a Democratic fault??

LazyLibrarian is fantastic for ebooks. Basically useless for audiobooks. I've found the entire *arr stack seems ill suited for audiobooks.

I bet Trump and Stephen Miller are very much considering to do just that.

I recently saw that one on a flight! I had a feeling he played in Star Trek at some point but didn't have the connectivity to look it up.

Bitcoin is good for the rich, who use it to avoid tax laws and other financial oversight laws. And lots of crime.

You can buy premade nodes on AliExpress or Etsy that are easy to use and portable. Pair it to your phone and start war driving.

Now that I live in a dense urban city, the number of nodes is wild.

Only due to Senate rules that they regularly like to blow up, but in this situation have decided that Senate rules are suddenly sacrosanct. Normally, they can only use reconciliation on a budget item once per year, per Senate rules, and they used that to pass One Beautiful Bill. They could nuke the rule and then do it as often as they like, but now they're suddenly institutionalists?

I have a lot of obscure interests, but not as obscure as yours.

  • Finding former Pizza Huts in North America. It's just such an iconic building design. There's a documentary out now on them, but I've been fascinated for almost a decade now.

  • Meshtastic

  • John le Carré novels. He was huge decades ago, but basically nobody knows the name now besides Boomers and genre fans.

Many of the free tier streaming services are packed with this content. Tubi, Roku, Plex Movies & TV, Google TV.

Recently started We Were Eight Years in Power by Ta-Nehisi Coates. It feels quite apt in the current moment.

Germanic/Nordic name. I'm an American. The name sounds like it comes from my European heritage, but it has no family history, just randomly selected. And my spelling is less common in America, which has led to a lifetime of having to spell it out or correct when it has been mistranscribed (literally, people would read it from a paper and transcribe it wrong when typing it).

Now that I live in the Netherlands, at least there are no transcription errors. People are less unfamiliar with my spelling here
