I think they mean to show something "fancy and expensive."

Which rather ignores the M2 $399 Mac Mini I can go pick up at Best Buy right now, which is kind of insane cost/capability.

But their upgrades are stupid expensive and there are things to complain about with Apple.

There's a whole cottage industry dedicated to convincing people their kitchen and baths need to be remodeled to the studs every 10/15 years, windows need replacing, new siding, all sorts of crazy shit, just get yourself a home equity line, it adds to the value after all! But that just means you're in more debt to own what you already owned. Home equity lines of credit can be super useful but people use them like lotto tickets.

Shh, they still think they’re playing a touch football game.

People brushed their teeth back when fluoride was first introduced too. It was normal back then. Fluoride still offered a benefit and it still does today. That's how public health works, we look at the big numbers over time, like how many kids have teeth rotting out of their heads.

The dose makes the poison, we can see in blood lead levels over time that we've basically solved the problem by eliminating it from car exhaust, which we breathe pretty regularly.

Very few truly blue states, we have blue cities and red rural areas, very hard to make that work in a civil war. For instance I'm in the deep south but in a capital city, there are rainbow crosswalks and Ukraine flags everywhere. We can't succeed from our state unfortunately but we aren't turning red either.

However all Level 1 Trauma Centers are in blue cities, would be interesting to see what happened if we turned those off for the rural voters.

Why do guys have a pleasure spot about halfway dick length up their assholes? Sadly, God left that out of the instruction manual and yet I feel like the best features don’t need documentation to be understood.

Hot take, but could this be Obama‘s fault somehow?

If you have to point to one single problem it's shareholders, Dodge vs Ford (1916) established shareholder supremacy, so the point of any company isn't to produce widgets or employ people or pay the CEO, it's to produce value for the shareholders, end of story. All things serve this master purpose.

I worked at a privately held $1b manufacturing company recently, they were doing record profits, cut employee bonuses based on some bullshit metric we "failed to hit," all the money was just pouring into the owning family's pockets. Their private helicopter trips were the purpose of our labor. Their shopping excursions to Europe. Sadly, this is a highly politically active family in conservative politics, funding the Heritage foundation over decades.

In that Super 8s probably rarely see cats who enjoy urinating on electrical equipment (although I'm sure that's happened nonzero number of times), it's probably a ton of condensed meth. When it's in secondhand form, exhaled or wasted, it's hydroscopic and instantly mixes with the room humidity, which is then processed by the A/C coils, where it accumulates.

Possibly the room was actually used to manufacture meth. I mean, I used to manage REO properties on Bremerton, and I definitely cleaned up the remains of a few meth labs.

But maybe Mr Fluffy did go to urinetown on it, who knows. Bremerton.

You can substitute the q-tips out for regular human hair if you're prepping for tariff season
