Christmas Story reboot is wild

So, does the interest just start accruing again after it’s cancelled? Until a future president decides to throw another bone?

And I don’t really like that the long-promised 20-year forgiveness plans are being portrayed as dependent on the whims of a benevolent president. That shit needs to be locked in as the permanent bare minimum light at the end of the tunnel for borrowers who signed up for it in the first place, whether it’s today or 20+ years ago.

I wonder how many stared without protection, and how many were scammed with fake glasses.

I watched some of the nasa livestream since I don’t have eyewear in a ~96% area, and it’s total overcast anyway. They basically said it’s a ~~CME (or flare?)~~ edit: “solar prominence”, and not surprising due to the sun being near the most active phase of its 11-year cycle.

Pretty cool that one made such a clear appearance. If you search for solar flare, you’ll see images of that similar arch visible in the photo. Must have been amazing to see one with the naked eye.

It works in regular snow and blood snow

No they do. They care about scratching their donors’ backs, then telling rubes it’s for them, which they eat up despite not actually seeing any benefit. They also care about wrecking the deficit so they can screech about it the moment they lose power.

I’m almost 40 and just got my first laptop for work recently. I find myself creating and editing documents on my desktop and only using the laptop to view them and to make some minor corrections while away from the desktop. I could do that more comfortably with a tablet tbh.

It does help if the laptop has touchscreen though. I hate trackpads and will never get used to them.
