It's a bit surprising that Pete Hegseth asked for two shots when he usually asks for four or five.

Consultant the boss likes is trying to sell us a 5-position switch. I mean, we need a better switch for this, and nobody makes it. Guy was doing great, and then he comes up with this Hall-effect monstrosity that needs a USB connection and shows up as a joystick control.

I expect we can file this under "unintended consequences."
US guardrails aren’t built for electric vehicles. It’s time to change that.
The protective systems lining America’s roads are not ready for the next generation of vehicles.

Democrats in CA already have the most gerrymandered maps in the country, and Republicans in Indiana can do something about it. However, they are REFUSING to give Republicans a voice in Congress.

Fucking Samsung has made it take twice as many taps, if not more, to do anything, and nearly impossible to bring up the navigation bar without accidentally tapping on things I don't want to tap on.
Is there any way to revert to an older version of their software?

It occurred to me to think this morning of part of the reason that KPop Demon Hunters may be even more popular that it would have been on its merits alone (and I think it's awesome to start with). It's a very positive story with a simple message of hope. Right now our world is kinda crap...

Peg A: measures 3/32" using my nice caliper thingy.
Hole B: measures 7/64" according to the very same measuring tool.
Result: Peg A does not fit into Hole B, even with a fair amount of force.
For those not in the US: Not going to explain how fractions work, but 7/64" is larger than 3/32".
