Nah, I put that argument in the same camp as “if you tax them, they will move” in New York; pure bluster and ultimately an empty threat of Mutually Assured Destruction.
If a billionaire takes out a loan against their stock portfolio (as they so often do); force that to be treated as a Capital Gains taxable event. L
The US military is also arguably not at it’s prime now either - but I’d say Iran is much better equipped now than it was a decade ago (when Trump nixed Obama’s nuclear agreement).
0.1% still equates to 8.1m people; instead, if we we’re to focus focus on the Top 1%, of the Top 1% of the Top 1% - that is only ~8,100 people.
Holding their feet to the fire, and getting them to co tribute their fair share - despite their dragon’s hoard of wealth - would quickly bring those below them with less wealth in line.
e.g. Make an example out of Elon Musk, and the Ellison’s would quickly fall in line.
It is, indeed.
FFS, even saying a “dozen dozens“ would be underselling the actual death toll of that particular war crime.
The world honestly would be a (slightly) better place if that stroke was just a smidge more fatal…
Not quite the same thing, but I used an LLM to cobble together a HTML file that allows me to search for products on Coles, Woolies, Aldi and Amazon at the same time in the same window (via frames and a Firefox extension to get around some security settings).
Works a treat when planning our big shops for the week, and has already saved us hundreds of dollars since Jan.
Came to reply this exact same thing; this looks some alternative dimension shit where Jimmy chose abusing children instead of tax evasion as his crime of choice…
On the upside, homelabs are going to have a glut of high capacity, barely used server hard drives to choose from then this AI/data centre bubble eventually bursts?
Gropey Old Pedophiles; its right there in the name.
Based on the most recent special-election results, we should* see the Dems leave the 2026 mid-terms with 250+ house seats and a slight majority (50-55 range) in the senate.
Enough to impeach the orange turd - but not enough to convict, without some of the more moderate reps growing a spine.
* rough estimates based on a ~25 point swing in urban and suburban districts, and a ~15 point swing in rural seats towards the Dems from the 2024 result.
Again, this is also based on the idea that Trump won’t somehow rat-fuck the US to the point of declaring martial law due to a perceived insurrectionist uprising, and trying to cancel the mid-terms altogether.
I remember the horrendous response times of the original GameBoy’s LCD panel, and when I mentally compare it to modern COLOUR panels…
…all I can think is, never say never!
What you’re looking for are commercial screens. They’re a bit more expensive for a comparable panel, as they are intended for 24/7 use- but are about as dumb as they get nowadays.
Silly goose, after 8K is 16K!

…will fuck you up!
I won’t feel relieved until we get confirmation what the substance was.
There have been too many mentions of a potentially deadly mercury compound, to be used against political enemies floating around in social media comments for my killing.
I would, as an under-educated Australian, expect a lot of these migrants being from the Middle East - due in no small part to all of the US-led fuckery over the past 25 years (in particular).
So not colonialism, but something altogether worse?
Honestly - in the event that this nature fails, California should just unleash a barrage of similar legislation like this, year after year. Eventually it would end up cheaper to just pay the taxes than continually fight against it.
They’re trying to redefine it to Profitable Computing:
They do round up, so in the very unlikely event of this ever passing - it would be given one congressman and two senators. All three would be Dems, so this will never happen.
It’s just pure rage bait, intended to distract away from the Epstein Files, Venezuela, and Renee Goode.
Love it, a fellow Aussie collector 💚🩷❤️💙
I could tell even before zooming in on the Cashies sticker - we were literally the only PAL market as far as I can tell they switched to the slim CD-style cases mid-generation! 😅
