He has too much money to be held accountable. People with that much money only get held accountable if their crime is against others with that much money.

A long time ago, I learned a way to do something that had a similar effect. Most places I’ve worked allow you to have a split deposit. So, I have two checking accounts at my bank. Add up all your monthly recurring expenses, then have a split deposit so that enough money goes to one of the checking accounts for the recurring expenses, anything leftover goes to your other checking account. You can spend all the money in the “spending” account because your bills are covered by the “bills” account.

I had a job that paid semi monthly. Every 1st and 15th. This meme definitely fits on those 31 day months.

That’s their biggest criticism for their actual cars right now. They looked futuristic back 2012, but they look the same now. The other manufacturers have caught up with design and software. Now, they can be out produced into oblivion. That’s why Elon and other C suites at Tesla have been shedding shares, and Elon keeps trying to pump the stock.

About to be? They’ve already been paying extra for the privilege.

Nah, the destruction of the US by trying to run for a second term will be his legacy.

That’s not the message to take from this.

Because the time frame that TNG takes place in. It was a peaceful era and the Galaxy Class ship was designed for prolonged exploration and ambassador missions. Due to the long periods in space the Federation designed the ship to accommodate families of the Starfleet officers. That’s also why the ship could separate, the battle bridge could go into combat while the civilians stayed behind in the saucer section. With these long voyages and family aboard they thought it was important to include mental health being an importance, so important that Troi was a bridge officer.

Voyager was a smaller ship made purely for scientific research and wasn’t supposed to be gone for so long. Also, after the discovery of the Borg, the Federation changed their ship designs to have more combat in mind.

I switched to DuckDuckGo a while back and even that was beneficial. I can always tell when I’m on a different machine and I forget to switch the default search… It’s wild how fast they’ve fallen.

These days I setup ollama with open webui to host my own ai. Then you can connect Searxng to that and have the AI search the web for you and return no nonsense results.

Yeah, they could conduct a peaceful transfer of power without the congratulations. They would be ruthlessly mocked for being sore losers, but they would be internally consistent at least.

Your vegetarian chili sounds better, and I’m definitely more on the carnivore side. I don’t know if I’ve ever made chili with pinto beans. I’m a kidney and red bean man myself.

Exactly. His legacy is not doing what he promised, not being that bridge to the next generation. Only giving up his lust for being president when it was too late.

I’m not sure this one will pass congressional approval. I could see it easily going in either direction.

Now you’re going to try and nit pick to back peddle? The economy was the star of the show and Kamala didn’t have an easy to understand answer. The messaging, as always, was piss poor from the democrats.

A guajillo, as in one? You’re proving my point here. And nothing spicy.

Rubio is probably the least controversial pick so far.

On the other hand I can see republican politicians pretending to be stunned in order to say one thing and do another. They get to pretend they don’t like it for the political game and then actually support it.

Oops, someone is a believer in the big lie.

Exit polling overwhelmingly disagrees with you. The number one stated reason was the economy.

Again, I don’t necessarily disagree about it from a competition/traditionalist perspective, but I’m going to put it in mine because I like it. That said, I do find that most recipes are akin to a tomato, meat, and beans stew and are sorely lacking in the chilis that the dish is named after.
