That confused me at first, but I realized that he's speaking "orders of magnitude," which means that 365 rounds to 100.

It's mostly done in physics, and briefly, your only count the number of digits. If I'm comparing a number with 3 zeros to a number with 12 zeroes, the actual number hardly matters.

I prefer this version, but I enjoy a good bass rumble.

Maybe not "just." But the clear intent is to confound the reader so they will click the link.

Yes. Always good to say it again, though, lest people forget.

They aren't MAGA Republicans. They are just Republicans. Whatever remnants of sanity those people may have left is not calling the shots.

I'm reminded of a line from Yes, Minister.

If you're going to do this damn stupid thing, so do it in this damn stupid way.

If they actually wanted this to work, they world have given people some time to get their shit in order.

I was thinking something similar. If I could only taste boobs, I could probably be ok.

As if you guys needed another reason to not come to the US.

On the other hand, if we did wind up invading you, this will be a death list.

Yea, I asked the question before reading the article. Silly thing for me to do.

Stink, stank, stunk.

No, wait, that's not me. That's the Grinch.

If you can come up with a better rhyme, I'm all ears.
