The children yearn to lie about the operational status of the frosty machine.

I was sitting a few rows behind some rowdy British teens on holiday the other day and between skibbidi and the British slang, I understood none of what they had said. Is this what getting old feels like?

The conventional wisdom is no caffeine after 4 but the half life is 4ish hours I remember reading somewhere. It’s better to hard stop caffeine consumption before 2pm.

I think blue light also conflicts with your body’s natural sleep priming so yeah cutting screentime before bed is a win or at the very least use the night mode or orange filter on your phone after sundown.

If your schedule is really bad, an acute solution is to hard reset by full commiting to going to bed at your new desired bedtime. Don’t nap or anything that day if you can, and if your desired bedtime is too early you can try taking some melatonin. Don’t use melatonin regularly though.

That’s how I wrangle my sleep schedule back to a better baseline when it starts to drift towards later nights and waking up exhausted.

Remember when they accidentally confirmed the mall in Kyiv that got shelled by evil Russians was actually a weapons depot when they reported on the TikToker across the street who was arrested by the SBU? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

The thing I think people don’t think about is it’s really expensive to change your manufacturing process. The transition overseas isn’t just about labor costs, but because you are rebuilding the factory anyways it’s a chance to switch over to a cheaper manufacturing method. You get what you pay for and cheaper methods tend to have cut corners. You can buy high end stuff from China, it’s not like iphones are made there or anything…

There’s a reactionary QBC youtuber, AvE who mostly disassembles power tools and examines the quality of construction, components, and manufacturing methods. He has a teardown of a “Juciero” the $1000 juicer with DRM which is how I found him. He whines about “Chinesium” in the Chinese manufactured tool brands but there’s other “American made” tools on his channel using similar lower-end manufacturing techniques or cutting similar corners.

There’s an interview with Vijay Prashad that comes to largely the same conclusion about superhero movies.

Don’t forget how ableist they get if you disagree with them.

I know someone whose kid became really irritable and started having aggressive episodes after a head injury. Insurance doesn’t think an MRI is medically relevant.

It makes me so mad when anglos try to gaslight the success of obamacare and how many millions of additional people are “covered” by it.

The ballots still have blanks even the digital ones. You can vote for yourself. Or Trump or whichever of the duopoly candidates was removed from the ballot in your state.

But it does hurt the perceived legitimacy of the election. I had thought the reason so many stop the steal legislators did a 180 after the capital riots was that owning the libs wasn’t worth endangering bourgeois rule.

This is shortsighted of the duopoly to say the least.

The IMF handles South Africa with its European division too. At least when Budhoo wrote his resignation.

I think they are referring to the price being 14.88 --> 1488 --> 14 words + hh

Damn, an advanced industrial economy, with millions of highly educated workers, and direct state ownership of besieged industries figured out how to build these components themselves?

Who would have guessed?

Didn’t you hear? Chinese dollar reserves are on the decline. The dollars must be going somewhere jajajaja

Have they figured out how they will actually deliver these? I remember last year the “united front” of nato playing hot potato over who would deliver the jets.

I’m tagged in this post and don’t like it jajajajaja

You can’t discharge student loan debt via bankruptcy which is unlike other debts and courtesy of our president who is totally for real going to forgive it lol

They’re actually due in September but you get an administrative forbearance of 1 mo that accrues interest. If you can, throw these leeches some money in September.

These are the same people that unironically want to ban Z lol

This. Alien stories are always deployed as chaff in the news cycle when something of important is happening. This time, ya it’s probably the Hunter plea that fell apart.
