Trump's supposed wealth was always mostly marketing. Being a billionaire was literally his brand image.

Yes, the ones here (California) can be set to keep pumping automatically until the tank is full and then stop.

Not just on the internet, either. If you really want to drive yourself crazy, pay attention to each time you see an advertisement in real life, and imagine if instead there was a piece of artwork in that spot. How would that change how you feel in that moment?

"UNRWA should continue to exist but it shouldn't have any funding." Such bullshit. These people are despicable, and that includes those in other governments who made the decision to withdraw their support.

I cannot believe there are people still mad about Jackie Robinson. Do you people not have actual problems?

I played it years ago when it came out and it's still really good. It's an indie grand strategy game with low production values but a game play loop I find very satisfying. The fact that it's played on a realistic map of ancient Greece adds a lot of flavor and I love how the geography actually has important implications for strategy.

Giving a for-profit corporation direct access to your brain sounds like a great idea with no downsides whatsoever. I love the thought of worrying about my brain implant having a glitch or facing planned obsolescence.

Everyone knows pro wrestling is all staged performances but I've never heard that said of boxing. As far as I know those are real.

It sure would be nice if Democrats were as committed to doing good as Republicans are to doing evil.

I guess they could shoot the airliner down if it starts flying toward any towers.

I am pretty skeptical of that number. As of a month ago, even the Russians were 'only' claiming to have inflicted 383 thousand casualties (https://tass.com/defense/1723781), which we can take as an upper bound on the reasonable estimates.

The promise Theranos made was that their tests could be run with a much smaller sample of blood than other labs. Therefore, the results were inherently unreliable even if they used real machines, because they didn't have the sample amount the machines were designed for.
