It’s always in relation to what the speaker considers average in that situation.

If someone at home is good at cooking, they could make nice meals out of fish while everyone else in that group can just make porridge. If someone at work is good at autocad, they can make technical drawings while everyone else can just barely read them.

If the result has already been decided, voting becomes purely ceremonial.

Not a crypto expert, but I’ve heard countless times from various sources that bitcoin is far from untraceable.

Yeah, I think the union thing and the latest nazi salute form exactly the kind of combination Sweden won’t forgive easily. Tesla’s reputation is completely gone.

There are countries you don’t want to visit, because you could lose your life, organs, and/or money (not necessarily in that order). There are also some places, where you’ll also get thrown in jail for strange reasons, or no reason at all. Nowadays, when people think of countries to avoid, they also group USA with places like North Korea, Mali, Russia, China, Syria, Afghanistan etc.

Why did I watch that documentary about the central park of New York, just when it became clear I won’t be traveling there. Might as well get even more hyped by watching documentaries about the amazing cities of ancient Babylon or the legendary library of Damascus. Good luck trying to have a vacation in those places.

Many Germans were wondering the same thing nearly a hundred years ago.

Some of them decided to move while they still had the chance. You could say it’s traditional to move across the ocean if your country becomes a totalitarian dictatorship. The other options aren’t that nice though. Once the system falls apart you could be judged for just going with the flow.

A Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos poll found that 39% of U.S. adults approve of Trump’s handling of the presidency; a CNN/SSRS poll found that 41% of Americans approve; and a NBC News Stay Tuned Poll found that 45% of U.S. adults approve.

Turns out, Trump is more popular than Musk, but all of these numbers are still amazingly high.

I’ll just vacuum up all of those coins real quick. Just make sure nobody knows I did that, deal?

Nobody does.

You missed your stop. You were supposed to step off at 1930s Germany, right? Well, now we’re already headed towards medieval Spain. You might like the inquisition though.

Exactly. There were only moments of relief between being chased by a t.rex or a bunch of velociraptors. Even when the protagonists ride into the sunset, the seeds of the next disaster are already sprouting.

This should get you started. Hopefully you enjoy some of this stuff.

It’s like that t.rex scene in Jurassic Park. It got really scary, there was plenty of damage, but it all worked out in the end. Peak entertainment. 🍿

Well, except if you’re that one guy who got eaten alive. I guess Americans might feel like that.

Maybe President Musk can just tell secretary Trump to pull some strings and make sure his best buddies at the courts turn a blind eye to all of these shenanigans.

I don’t work in a microbiology lab any more, but OMG the amount of plastic waste was unbelievable. Keeping everything sterile (as in germ free and DNA free) does not come cheap! If it’s small and cheap enough, it’s going in the trash. If it’s small but expensive, you’ll autoclave it. If it’s big, you’ll squirt lots of ethanol on it and hope it doesn’t ruin your day.

Cannelloni-Vermicelli Exploration program? You know, to find out what happens if you mix both on the same plate? Will the Italians assassinate you before you can take the first bite? Will the pasta annihilate as soon as they touch? Will it be delicious? Who knows, and now we will never know.

As long as my 1080p plasma tv works, there’s no need to upgrade. Going 4K would also mean I would have to upgrade my HTPC hardware, because that old APU probably can’t handle resolutions like that.

In the meantime though, I’ll just keep on watching online videos in my living room without ads or interruptions. It’s been great even though all of this hardware is cheap and ancient.

America will be great again? Well probably more like, poor, distrusted, hated, ignored and alone, but maybe Russians and Chinese think that’s great.
