I couldn't find any news stories to confirm this, but given the current administration's picks, I still can't tell if you're serious.

This probably explains the post I saw last night about Roger Ver. I was wondering how a post about a Bitcoin cash shill hit my All feed.

And, just like in chess, that boss happens to be skill-based, and no amount of over-preparation can help me win. And then I see a YouTube video of someone defeating Melania with a fucking stick and no armor. 😭

Unfortunately, if his house does burn down, he's just going to blame public services for their failure to protect his home, and then claim that privatized fire services would have been better.

Yes, but some constitutional literalists tend to be quite ... literal.

"The authors of the 22nd amendment clearly knew the difference between holding office and being elected to office, because the text of the amendment distinguishes between the two, yet still chose to explicitly only bar from election."

Since the 22nd amendment only explicitly bars you from being elected, it could be argued that you still meet the eligibility requirements laid out in Article II; that is, you're only explicitly barred from being elected, not from holding office.

We've definitely seen some very concerning Supreme Court rulings recently, so it's unfortunately not as clear-cut as we would hope.

Okay, loophole time: what if he runs as VP in 2028, and after inauguration, the newly elected president resigns? He wouldn't technically have been elected, and the amendment doesn't mention being barred from actually serving more than twice.

Artificial sweeteners and insulin sensitivity is a reverse correlation, better methodologies have found they do not cause reduced insulin sensitivity or obesity: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33535094/

People who are overweight or diabetic tend to increase consumption of artificial sweeteners as a result of their condition, not the other way around.

I've been single boot on Fedora for a little over a year. The biggest issue for gaming that I've seen are because of anti-cheats that don't support Linux.

Whoever took the original picture likely used a phone or camera to actually take a picture of a computer screen. I think I can see screen refresh artifacts in the image, too. It's mostly an illiterate computer user trend, or maybe someone in a hurry to capture a picture of someone else's screen.

She was married. I didn't need that kind of drama, anyway.
