"If it's this bad now, just imagine how many jobs we would have lost with Kamala!"

The 1 billion never existed

Can't use made-up numbers for bribes.

They couldn't keep him if they wanted to. California has term limits, and his last term is coming to an end. Now he's trying to position himself for whatever he's doing next, which some suggest is running for president.

The whole podcast is probably just a big "look Mom, I can reach across the aisle!"

Travelling to Vegas and staying in a hotel there are actually both pretty cheap. The hotels want you to stay in their hotel so you'll gamble in their casino and not someone else's.

That makes some sense. When you're smuggling something you want it as pure as possible, so it takes up less space and is harder to detect. You cut it with something else after you smuggle it.

The same thing happened during prohibition. They smuggled hard liquor, not beer.

So you're saying all the "play this word game to prevent memory loss" ads I'm getting actually have a point?

I switch units as appropriate. In a thread starting with an American reference, where I'm writing in American English, I say "footage". When I actually need to measure something, I use metric.

Norway has Brustadbu. Sylvia Brustad is responsible for allowing grocery stores below a certain size being open on Sundays in Norway, and now there are a lot of little stores built to that exact square footage.

This is probably PLA, which is compostable.

I think those should be two independent features. My main reason for blocking instances is so I can browse All without getting posts in languages I don't understand. If they respond in English to an English post I'd like to see it.

Worse, they're actively incentivizing it.

Just thank her to her face, no need to involve the Internet in this.

That was calm selling, not panic selling. The calm selling happens before the market crash, not during.

Mute or disable all notifications except direct messages.

I get what you're saying, but this is showing the symptoms of a stroke. Having a stroke is not a disability, although it might result in one.

I think they're arguing for having the LLM generate the regex. And I certainly would not trust an LLM to do that right.

I don't see anything wrong with the capture groups in A and C. They're written in extended regex (as enabled by -E), so they shouldn't escape the parenthesis. Am I missing something?

I think this is more that American exceptionalism makes them incapable of getting inspiration from other countries, so they end up doing something entirely different. If it's better, the rest of the world adopts it as well, and if it's inferior, the rest of the world points and laughs.

E-check is definitely in the point and laugh category, while payment apps based on phone number or email like Venmo are getting copied by various other countries. Granted, I don't think the US was first with phone-based payments, various developing countries in Africa have had it for ages. But I do think they came up with it independently, because they habitually ignore innovation done anywhere else.

They'd definitely do that, and add some other creative charges as well.
