I bought one of the reproduction Model Ms and the only difference between it and my original is the case yellowing. It even has the steel plate in the bottom to give it heft. Buckling springs feel incredible and last forever. Only drawback is the noise.

Crowdsourced information does put a bit of a damper on the whole “history written by the victors” thing.

There is scientific room for creationism within agnosticism.

This makes me want to throw shit and break up.

I’m sorry tacosanonymous. It’s over.

The WHO says the same. Soap is a surfactant, so the viruses will be mechanically removed from the skin, and flushed away by the water.

My comment was meant to be in regards to sanitizing surfaces. I’m sorry if that was unclear.

I like that it’s environmentally friendly. When you’re done you can just slide your crack along the seat to scrape yourself clean.

Most of my jobs have been salaried at 40 hrs/wk. I worked 60-80 hrs/wk, effectively driving down my hourly rate in pursuit of my next promotion.

This scene was later Americanized, with the lead played by Christopher Walken. The new script swapped the setting for a studio, and the mariachis for cowbell. It was a big success for Saturday Night Live.

They sold it at Kay Bee Toys. How bad could it be? Lol

Absolutely. There are many reasons, but attacks on journalists/whistleblowers and the malicious potential of collated data in a capitalist oligarchy are the first two that come to mind.

I’ve pulled out receptacles where the wire popped right out and stayed in the box. It could have been installation error by the previous homeowner or poor quality receptacles. All I know is that’s what my electrician friend who was helping me told me.

Never use the backstabbing holes on electrical receptacles.

They come loose over time, faster if they’re not fastened properly or if the house is prone to settling.

 
 

A California-based startup called Savor has figured out a unique way to make a butter alternative that doesn’t involve livestock, plants, or even displacing land. Their butter is produced from synthetic fat made using carbon dioxide and hydrogen, and the best part is —- it tastes just like regular butter.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court on Thursday made it harder for the federal government to win court orders when it suspects a company of interfering in unionization campaigns in a case that stemmed from a labor dispute with Starbucks.

The justices tightened the standards for when a federal court should issue an order to protect the jobs of workers during a union organizing campaign.

The court rejected a rule that some courts had applied to orders sought by the National Labor Relations Board in favor of a higher threshold, sought by Starbucks, that must be met in most other fights over court orders, or injunctions.

The NLRB had argued that the National Labor Relations Act, the law that governs the agency, has for more than 75 years allowed courts to grant temporary injunctions if they find requests “just and proper.” The agency said the law doesn’t require it to prove other factors and was intended to limit the role of the courts.

The case began in February 2022, when Starbucks fired seven workers who were trying to unionize their Tennessee store. The NLRB obtained a court order forcing the company to rehire the workers while the case wound its way through the agency’s administrative proceedings. Such proceedings can take up to two years.

 

The prosecution contends the reimbursements were falsely classified as legal expenses to conceal their true nature — part of a hush-money deal with Daniels. Prosecutors also say this was done to affect the election’s outcome, not merely to save Trump personal embarrassment, and therefore amounts to election interference.

Trump’s team argues the money paid to Cohen, who in the past said he would take a bullet for Trump but has also become an aggressive critic of the former president, was indeed for legal services.

 

Israel must immediately halt its military operations in the area of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip, the United Nations top court ruled on Friday.

The ruling by the International Court of Justice marks a major condemnation of how Israel is conducting its war against Hamas in Gaza, but also leaves open whether the ruling can be enforced.

 

A former U.S. military intelligence official released a letter on Monday that explained to his colleagues at the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) that his November resignation was in fact due to "moral injury" stemming from U.S. support for Israel's war in Gaza and the harm caused to Palestinians.

 

In a Truth Social post, Trump attacked Biden − and Hamas − by accusing the president of "taking the side of these terrorists, just like he has sided with the Radical Mobs taking over our college campuses."
