Deleting the comment altogether because you spent too much time thinking of other examples and it’s just not worth the trouble anymore. 🎩 🧐 🍷

They’re not “passing laws.” They define the minute technical details that Congress can’t cover completely or doesn’t understand. Here’s an example:

Elected Congress: Don’t sell moldy sausage.

Unelected FDA: Ok, here’s how long you can safely store sausage below this temperature. If that date is passed or the sausage has been exposed to higher temperature for this amount of time, it must be discarded to greatly reduce the possibility of selling moldy sausage.

Unelected Judge: Mom said if it’s not green it’s not moldy. Just don’t sell green sausage boys.

Unelected SCOTUS: Yup, that’s how it’s done.

And then add a light so cats can scare the shit out of passersby with eerie dissonance in the dead of night.

Same, except:

Capybaras always walk single file to hide their numbers.

A house centipede is just 4 spiders in a trench coat.

That’s how you know it’s accurate. Same thing happens if you use makeup remover twice on bare skin.

They’re 100% for sale, even more-so when they’re retiring, and plenty of billionaires are 100% willing to pay. I bet they’ll land a real nice deal.

Yes, but those policies don’t provide political cover to eliminate everyone’s encryption and privacy, so…

The manual options are ancient - like a sickle, or a scythe or clip by hand with garden shears bent down on your knees for hours. But fuck all that, you’ll want an electric trimmer for edges.

The marimba has left the chat.

I can charge mine when I shower and get dressed, and sometimes when I brush my teeth and feed the pets at night - about 30-60 minutes a day total. I wear it the other 23-23.5 hours, including sleep with the AutoSleep app. It sometimes gets down to 20% before charging.

If it didn’t charge so fast then it would be an issue for me.

My first smartphone was an early LG Optimus. Don’t remember the exact model, but it was a horrible experience. When it was time to justify an upgrade, I tried an iPhone (4S I think.) It did what I need in a phone and more, and it was smooth, responsive, and reliable, unlike the LG.

Since then I’ve only used iPhones, and also an Apple TV, some HomePods, AirPods Pro, watches, and my wife uses a MacBook.

My desktop will always be Windows, but I’m increasingly tempted to try Linux. I mean, I’ll never use a Mac. It doesn’t do what I need. The other Apple devices do exactly what I need and they do it well. They’re generally a pleasure to use with only a few quirks here and there - probably no more or less than modern Android devices, maybe? I wouldn’t know. I just haven’t felt the need to switch back to Android, since everything works fine. I upgrade my phone every 4-5 years.

So I guess it’s all due to a bad first impression, thanks to LG hardware.

How about VFW healthcare, Marjorie?

Now I’m trying to imagine Greene doing anything useful or helpful for anyone. I can’t do it. It does not compute. Her constituency sent her to Congress to be vile and cause chaos, so I guess she does that. What a waste of votes.

Steam, GameStop, Toys-R-Us, Walmart… Someone always makes a profit on selling games, or any products - even digital. Steam has not reinvented the wheel here. It’s not a new concept. Are you arguing that the idea of stores should be eliminated?

In return, the game is more likely to be seen, just like placing a product in a real store where people walk by it. It also gets advertised, reviewed, has another community outlet, and Steam uses their own servers and bandwidth to distribute it.

It’s not a bad deal for the devs and publishers.

Fine, but now big gals with same need to buy “dude wipes.” Just call it heavy duty, or industrial strength.

I wish I could afford a Boeing, but I go to Starbucks 35,000 times a day.

Be wary of two-handing
