Thinking of inventing a new kind of polling that can predict the level of blind rage that a large portion respondents will feel if politicians send out a message focusing on a normal-times issue like this at a time like this
Despite Trump’s promises, grocery prices are still rising fast. Families can’t afford this… when is he going to get serious about lowering costs?

I keep going back to this. This is a taunt. They're taunting us. There is no other possible interpretation of what they're doing.
But media simply ignores this deranged behavior, because if they talk about it, one must conclude that DHS is a rogue agency, of villainous paramilitary thugs.

When you're stuck at a long Jedi Council meeting and you don't want anyone noticing you're using the Force on yourself for less-than-intended purposes, but you're fairly certainly at least half the people around you suspect what you're doing but you've brought yourself too close to the edge to stop:

guy who for the first time needs more than 64GB RAM to do one massive task that he wants to do over and over (ie it's not just about being able to comfortably massive-multitask) and is considering making another offering to the motherboard gods rather than resign himself to 1 of several slow options
guy who would have been able to turn like a $500 profit if he'd bought those 128GB DIMMS in March and then sold the unusable-due-to-mobo-issues 96GB today
buying a 128GB pair and just letting 64 or 96GB of other DIMMs sit around unused is just against my religion

This is about elections.
As of 12/24/25, USPS changed policy on when they postmark mail. Mail dropped off is no longer guaranteed a same-day postmark. Tax returns & other time-sensitive items are now stamped when they reach a regional processing center, which may be days later. Plan deadlines accordingly to avoid penalties.
USPS Announces Changes to the Postmark Date System
The United States Postal Service (USPS) has adopted a final rule (FR Doc.

don't like how iMessages moved the search box to the bottom, where you also enter text messages. even if the previous hidden search box wasn't the greatest, at least you knew you weren't going to accidentally text a friend "sex gifs" or something

some may say the World Series tape is fake because there’s no way you could ever fit 14 baseball games on one VHS, even in SLP, but those people never saw my dad work the VCR
