Trump can't legally run again based on our current legal framework. I think that's somewhat important to clarify.

It's hard to tell, but it looks similar to my reusable hemp cloth filter. There's a chance it's reusable.

It would change things if it becomes systemic. If they learn to be scared of being a billionaire, maybe they'd be less likely to want to become one.

Not usually, no. You can sometimes buy packs of DLCs, but that's not a season pass —though it may use that name. A season pass is, as the name implies, a pass to get whatever content comes that season (or whatever period).

No, some of them were already transphobic but thought they'd lose an election for admitting it. Now they think they will win because of it. They need to learn a lesson.

Are you kidding me? Where do you live? Personal pizza is a very common term everywhere I've lived on the east coast US. I'm pretty confident anywhere in the US, at minimum, that's a common term.

But the salt absorbing into the pasta will be a bit different than being part of the sauce. If it's a common issue that people you're cooking for want less salt, fine I guess. If not, salt the water when you cook pasta.

Unless it says it's a personal pizza, it isn't. Check the nutritional facts.

If it's causing you issues, you may want to try to avoid it. Putin's strongest weapon is his threat of nuclear war. It isn't going to happen though. That's why people joke about it. It disarms the weapon, because a threat is only a threat as long as people believe it. If Putin launched a nuke, China would cut them loose and NATO would destroy them with conventional weapons incredibly quickly.

Putin wants you to be scared. Either learn that it's a meaningless threat or stop listening to it. The threats aren't going to stop.

We have many. Most aren't in effect yet though, but it also isn't a serious issue. They're stored safely in cement caskets, with molten glass and stuff to keep it together and safe, with effectively zero chance to cause an issue. There are permanent ways to store it safely, but we haven't invested in them yet for many reason. Mostly, dirty energy companies pushing the anti-nuclear message have purposefully hamstrung nuclear from becoming a great solution, and people who think they're being smart believe them.

Where the counter comes from doesn't preclude this, but is an evolution of it. If the law says your family takes their eye in revenge for them taking yours, then they take revenge for what you did, etc. It creates a potential for a cycle of vengeance. It's better than nothing probably, but it also has serious flaws.

Gaetz is probably a worse person, but I'm unsure if he'd be a worse AG. I think the less competent and the more dirt on them that is public the better, as far as Trump picks go.

 

I hope this isn't the case, but the timing of the movies is really good to get people into Dune. They'll need the books to fully understand the parallels though.

Hopefully Trump doesn't do the things we suspect he'll do based on what he's said, but, if he does, hopefully it's a moment humanity can learn from (again). Hopefully we come out of this and people stop trusting charismatic leaders. Dune may be more relevant than ever.
