if he keeps dragging his companies down, he won't have to worry so much about a tax on the ultra-wealthy anymore.

the thing is, i don't trust google. they're an ad company. now that they have the marketshare, they've been leveraging it, hard. they're changing the game for their own selfish, profit-driven purposes--not for users or users privacy and security, not for the health of the web, or anything else they may try to claim. it's all about them making as much money as they can off you, your eyeballs, and your data.

two states, nebraska and maine, distribute some electoral college votes by congressional district.

but even if the so-called 'wyoming rule' was in play, where the smallest state dictated the size of a congressional district and the increased size of the house of representatives as a result---no presidential election outcome would have changed, with the possible exception of 2000 (which was decided by scrotus, not votes).

i think the goal is to come up with a 'better' solution than what google has already rolled-out to the majority of web users.. but with firefox's too-low adoption rate, it won't do anything significant.

actual margarine is getting hard to find in stores around here, and when you do it's priced almost as high as a non-sale price of real butter. margarine has 80% fat content and similar baking and cooking properties as butter.

what's on store shelves is a cheapened, watered down product laced with extra chemicals and fillers, ranging from 25-40% oil and can't even make a proper box of mac & cheese. some of them don't even melt when put on toast, hot, right from the toaster.

it'll happen. had to give up a 4L because the toner got scarce--and rather expensive. pretty much nonexistent now.

and now we're on our seventh printer since.

walmart was already getting rid of the 24/7 hours before covid. the pandemic didn't have anything to do with the decision. may have sped-up the roll-out some, but they were doing it regardless.
