"...took credit for shit they didn't do..."

incorrect. but I assume that's obvious since you still have no evidence while I've provided credible sources.

you take being incorrect real personally.

you were wrong and got told.

those are the facts, Jack!

"you immediately lied..."

incorrect, and you still aren't providing any evidence.

"You've done nothing of the sort."

it sounds like you got a little too excited to read the original post.

Claims that Democrats did not address grocery prices and gas are incorrect.

biden directly provided solutions for both of those issues.

I provided the evidence for that.

If you are not talking about the article, and besides your inaccurate claims that I'm somehow "lying" by providing facts, you should try answering my first question:

what are you talking about?

[–] Varyk 0 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (4 children)

you made incorrect claims about the grocery prices that I corrected.

I've addressed both issues relevant to the original post and your comment, you don't have a lick of evidence.

Why you so salty, crab?

[–] Varyk -1 points 1 month ago

[–] Varyk 12 points 1 month ago (2 children)

"Go pull this shit..."

facts?

okay.

i will go pull "facts" again.

[–] Varyk 3 points 1 month ago

that is an accurate paraphrasing of his statement and my comment explaining it.

where?

You're saying that Biden was taking credit for the corporations lowering the price of gas, while what happened was that Biden released a billion barrel of oil and then gas prices went down.

what are you talking about?

Biden released a billion barrels of gas and gas prices went down.

[–] Varyk 106 points 1 month ago (25 children)

Biden called out supermarkets for price gouuging and got literally thousands of grocery prices lowered immediately afterward.

Yes for marijuana possession convictions specifically at a federal level, he felt he didn't have the authority to pardon State convictions.

after he overturned all the federal convictions, he said:

"Just as no one should be in a federal prison solely due to the use or possession of marijuana, no one should be in a local jail or state prison for that reason, either”

I used sink plungers in toilets pretty much my whole life until i scrolled across a similar diagram one day and discovered the truth.

 

War.

spoilersA human in morph dies right away so you know what you're getting into, then things are pretty much exploding and bring destroyed for the whole book while they protect a governor, which seems like a bit much until you reach the end of the book and the governor announces the yeerk invasion to the world.

which is a really great ending.

funny note, Marco talks about how did are ax great long-distance flight morph, and finished them to the reliability of a 747.

Maybe that was correct twenty years ago, when Boeing still did maintenance on their planes with sturdy materials.

 

What happened in the vegan community?

I hadn't heard about any of this until seeing that ToS post.

when tax time comes around, you fill out an IRS form called the FEIE, the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion.

Check the "physical presence test" box, fill out your total income for that year, then write down the dates that you were not in the United States and where you were.

10 minutes, one extra form, no income taxes.

This is one of my most consistently used life hacks.

key rings are extremely durable, perfectly shaped to pull on, better than regular zipper tabs most of the time, keyrings are the perfect replacement.

Anytime I see a good key ring, I pop it into my tools pocket for the next failed zipper tab.

I buy all of my bags second hand because if they are missing a zipper tab, they're deemed useless and sold for a couple of dollars even if they're otherwise brand new.

If I need a bag of a specific type, I go around the thrift stores, find the exact bag/suitcase I want that's new but missing a couple zipper tabs, and after I buy it and take it home, throw a couple key rings on and have exactly the bag I want.

I've actually made more than a few connections with people because their suitcases broke and I had an "aha" fix ready to go for them.

Maybe the least relevant title to content?

or maybe the title is lost in context since every character is the most unlike they have every been in the series and this book is all about coming to terms and impressing upon the naive that the only choices left to make in war are terrible choices.

spoilers

everyone dies or you find a few more soldiers willing to sacrifice themselves.

It's pretty difficult watching the game pedantically and repeatedly explain to their parents that the life they thought they had is gone and people are dying and getting hurt. and you can't choose the moral high road unless you're willing to sacrifice others.

and the Animorphs have to hold the line on this reasoning because they're the only ones who really understand where the line is.

This is the controversial (as I remember it) decision to recruit disabled kids to be soldiers, because they're sure that the yeerks don't want any physically disabled bodies.

The ending really shocked me, I figured Cassie was going to kill Tom so that Jake didn't have to, and they could recover the morphing cube, I completely forgot that she bit Jake to slow him down and allow Tom to get away with the morphine cube because of her HUNCH that letting him have the morphing cube with the right thing to do.

that is a brassy hunch.

I've been looking for a simple solution to keep my wallet, phone, and Bluetooth headset dry and secure while I'm swimming, but every waterproof bag was either very tiny, very difficult to open and push things into because of the tacky plastic coating, or expensive and only useful for one purpose.

After scoping out the options at sports stores, I realized I already had a very strong, lightweight polyester day bag so I went bought a large round screw-top container with a rubber gasket and I was done.

easy to put everything in and take everything out, very good seal.

Took it into some crashing waves for an hour with my phone, wallet, and t-shirt inside(and some tissue papers so that I could periodically check if any water was getting in) and the thing works like a charm.

Bonus buoyancy means I can use the container as a small pillow while floating

The water was pretty busy today, but I'll definitely have to try floating again, the neck pillow was very comfortable during the short test runs i was allowed.

 

i like watching "making-of" or "behind-the-scenes" featurettes and documentaries about the behind the scenes machinations of movie making, but in terms of literature, I'm not sure what to look for if i want to learn about the process Martha wells went through to conceive the murderbot diaries, for example.

i can search for making-of The Matrix and find documentaries, but not making-of project hail Mary and find similar literary results.

is there a section of literature like this?

should i be reading annotated editions?

thanks

 

it keeps asking me to create an account, but when I log in with Google the whole page resets, and after it reset three times I'm locked out of my account that it says I still haven't created.

does Lazada still work for you guys or is there a new thing I should be using?

I remember it working without a problem before.

I thought that Marco getting his face ripped off was the crazy part of this book but then i read the rest of it.

spoiler major spoilers

Oh dang. All the parents have been told and rescued in dramatic and violent ways, Jake's parents try to kill him, Loren can see, this was another dip dop HELL of a story.

also ax saying that Rachel's sisters think he's a "pokey-man" is pretty funny.
