Had to go get my radio-tech spouse. His reply “Oh, that’s the dumb name for a terminator…”
Apparently “dummy load” isn’t what they call them in the USAF

Thank you for properly representing the Rod of Asclepius instead of the Caduceus!
I just learned somewhere on YouTube that this saying originated because apples were thought to ward off or cure gonerea.


I had a cassette player in my Saturn that would turn the tape back about 2 seconds if you stopped and re-started it. It was the best feature ever.

Fuck you for making me look this up. Only Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune would fit together. Venus, Mars, and Mercury are too much.


The second line of the article really sums it up from my perspective. “President George W. Bush was obsessed with the Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein and deliberately misled the American people about who was responsible for the 9/11 attack.”
I was curious how the nebulous connection between Iraq and Afghanistan was perceived by those who weren’t as aware of the older Bush’s history in the area. In the hours following 9/11, a common question among my peers was “How will this be twisted into us going into Iraq?”


With respect:
Why is 9/11 associated with Saddam jokes?
I’m old enough to remember both Iraq wars and 9/11 and the associated politics in detail the two subjects are very intertwined in the collective American memory.
But I want to hear specifically why people in 2025 think this.


Oh yeah, the cast grows and grows every episode or so until there’s much more likeable people. Senku is always there but his role gets smaller until he’s tolerable.


It was 24 eps and I liked it better after like 6-8 but it’s an ensemble cast that grows bigger basically every episode so I’ll once you get the swing of it, it carries you along.


No shit, I had the hardest time getting into the anime Dr. Stone for this exact reason. Thankfully, someone held me down for the first 2 seasons and I learned to love it.


Hossenfelder is fine but tries to educate way outside her realm. Her cryptocurrency episode made me lose all respect for her.


No shit. I’m at the Dr asking for PT rx and they don’t fight me one iota. I just motion at my shoulders. “They are behind me.”
Someone got told their topic wasn’t original enough and took that as a challenge.


You mean like the residential mental hospital system in the US used to do before Regan destroyed it?
It had problems, like any institution, but overall it was providing EXACTLY what you are suggesting.


1.5 million in direct unemployment, but consider the knock on unemployment for all the services those workers won’t need. Coffee shops, dry cleaners, parking lots, Uber/Lift drivers, childcare, etc. Employed people pay for services while employed that are directly tied to that employment and those businesses will also layoff their workers when these jobs disappear


I agree, it’s better is some states than others -right now-. But any state you move to has the chance that it will elect a GOP governor and legislature and become the next bad place. I don’t see a single state in the nation that is so blue that it is guaranteed to stay that way for the foreseeable future. Unlike abortion, no state has trans-rights in their constitution.


That is literally the job of the Associated Press. They republish press-releases across publications. At this point, most press releases are written by AI at least in part, so I’m not sure a further summary would be helpful.


This is the US supreme Court so there’s nowhere for us to go. No country on Earth takes refugees from the US. That’s what was so cool about the US once upon a time in history, it was the one place you could go, that provided an option if your birth country was hostile.
Now that the US is hostile to its own people, there’s no country to go to.
It’s thought to be a misunderstanding between French speakers and German surnames. Francophones presumed it was a trade suffix the way in English someone who bakes is a baker. English is a salad of confusion between these two.
