I think he’s playing on the saying “act your age, not your shoe size,” hinting that he knows it’s a silly/childish thing to do, but excusing it because his feet are enormous.

MOVs degrade over time so this was a quality MOVe (heh) even if you hadn’t blown them in the first place

If it gets really dry where you are you may find you have brittle zip ties that snap apart when you tighten them. Nylon needs a little water for elasticity.

Personally, I still have the 1000-piece set I bought a decade ago in a plastic jar with a screw lid, and I put a little water in the container whenever I notice it’s dry.

Honest answer: the legal theory is that if each side doesn’t argue their case as well as they can, justice can’t be complete. That’s why there are things like mistrials when the defense attorneys do a poor job, and appeals only work to the extent that certain things were brought up furing the original trial.

In practice it’s deeply flawed.

Good guy landlord, remember to tip well

I have these four keywords filtered and it mostly works for me without having to block politics or other whole topics completely

• Donald
• trump
• Elon
• musk

Right, let’s keep it dull around here please

Also Marathon

I wash mine every few months. In between washes I sometimes pick off the lip gunk. I know The navy takes it a little more seriously though.

My wife uses approximately eleventy mugs a day for who knows what purpose, and fills up the top dishwasher rack.

I do when I’m arguing with conservatives on Reddit. Otherwise I strive for clarity and simplicity but not dumbness

I use my 14-year-old prescription to get a couple pairs of glasses from Zenni every couple years. Averages about $75/yr.

Perfect accompaniment to all this cheese I recently acquired

Not really. See table 2 here (a ways down the page)

Cold generally slows degradation.

But using them at cold temps is bad

Mars was full so my ancestors had no choice but to come here :(

Price increases seem to take long residence in people’s minds. Prices are noticeably way higher than in 2019. Whether wage increases make up for that is kind of beside the point, psychologically. Collectively, big price hikes are traumatic.

Economists correctly talk about inflation as a rate of price increase, and they correctly consider real wages as a useful metric of well-being. But economists are academics and we use the word “inflation” in a colloquial sense, in a politicized real world, where it means “I have noticed that prices rose is recent memory and every time I go to the store I feel cheated.”

But to be clear, it’s not in my top 10 either (mine starts with climate, democracy, and freedom). Just sharing how I see the disconnect on inflation as a hot topic.

I would love to see a detailed technical explanation for how this would be possible.

I design battery-powered electronics for a living and I can’t think of any design that would let a battery explode with the violence these did, let alone on command. Unless it were deliberate.

That’s kind of an unnecessary leap.

NYTimes reports that IDF claims Hamas killed them shortly before they were found. I thought I recalled seeing elsewhere that they were claimed to have been shot, but I can’t find that source at the moment.

Of course, how credible is the IDF?

they get audited, at least, yearly by law

The IRS doesn’t audit annually, companies hire 3rd party auditors. And it’s not a tax requirement, it’s a public-company requirement.
