1/4 cup in a single cup of coffee? or was that for like a whole pot?

She's got it in her head this is an old person expression. To be honest I can't remember hearing other people use it much in recent years, but maybe I just don't notice.

My wife always gives me shit for saying "six of one, half a dozen of the other."

We already have some reasonable tests you can apply now, like how many lies do they tell each day (I'd like to use a longer time unit, but well, the bar has moved). Or how do they stand with decent human values or policy positions. People don't seem too good at applying those tests, I'm not sure how some other tests would help matters.

Maybe if candidates magically turned some bright color to show how much a peice of shit they were, people could learn to use that, that seems simple enough for even the really dim, but I expect they'd fail to use that too.

What was that claim? And is there some equivalent of TLDR I can preemptively use about whatever news coverage contains this info which I don't want to look up and wish to ignore if I eventually come across it?

But how common are windless conditions, really? It seems incredibly rare that there would be so little air movement that the effect of it wouldn't far overwhelm the electrostatic effect. I'm no meteorologist, though.

Sorry I was being unecessary obnoxious. I just meant they could have written it saying "this could happen" rather than presenting it as "this will happen."

I'm just really triggered lately by everything online being exaggerated for clicks.

The English language has words and grammar for speculation, "will" is not one of them.

"Good luck with this bullshit. I'm outta here!"

Damn, those noods are practically naked! Come to think of it, it's that they are not quite naked that makes them so hot.

I wonder if making another browser spoof being Opera would work too.
