Q: “Most hospitals + people who will lose insurance are in rural areas. If Trump & Republicans are so intent on sticking it to their own voters, why not let them?”

@aoc.bsky.social : “That’s the difference between us & Trump. I don’t care if you voted for me, I want you to have health care.”

A good nail brush (that cleans stuff out from under your nails) is such a great investment. I work barehanded in the garden a lot and I don't know how I would deal without a nail brush.

Yeah, that seems like it would be very rough.

And when I say 'pain' please understand that I have both of my feet tattooed as well as both calves and ankles. Anything more I would be tempted to get would expand on those and they're ridiculously painful spots. I am not being a wuss about tattoo pain.

I really love my tattoos. I have 0 regrets about any of them. But I may have finally reached a point where the cost and the pain are enough that I'm done getting more.

Some House Republicans are breaking ranks — and it isn’t rocket science as to why:

Costs are up, rural hospitals are closing, and Speaker Johnson refuses to end week four of their vacation while the government remains shut down.

Many of us never did, but there's also an element of people like this wanting to kill you for saying so. What's the phrase? "Men are afraid women will mock them, women are afraid men will kill them".

You can't logic your way out of being burnt out. Unless you're me. Who should be able to do it and it's a personal failing that I can't

Just landed back in Washington D.C.

Republicans have been on paid vacation for the last 4 weeks, and the government has been shut down for 14 days — yet they refuse to come back to work.

My offices will remain open in Colorado & DC — because we work for YOU!

Not to mention the fact that knowing that giving anything less than a 5 will get some poor minimum wage person yelled at for basically no reason means the ratings and questions are functionally pointless.

Certainly, but I also recommend keeping part of it as a memento. Maybe something small and easy to hold that comes out of it?

No, you don't gotta hand it to him for possibly getting the third Biden cease fire eight months late after tolerating a mass starvation campaign and demanding a little ethnic cleansing and enormous bribes as a treat, and only because Netanyahu surprise bombed the chief bribe facilitator.

Colorado AG Phil Weiser (D) is calling on Coloradans to turn out en masse for Oct 18 demonstrations against President Trump’s use of the military in American cities. “Don’t be afraid,” Weiser said. “Don’t be afraid to show up.” #copolitics

I'm just one person, and my programming needs are somewhat unusual (building various kinds of statistical forecasting models). But I'm just not seeing the consistent productivity gains from LLMs that I would have expected if you'd asked me 6 months ago.

I wouldn't do it with raw garlic like that, it's just going to rot in there and get gross. Dry spices seem fine though.
