This was my thought as well.
In 2020 they really pushed hard to tell their supporters to not early vote or vote by mail.
And this time they realize that those things are fine (and good and easy, though let’s never admit that!) so there’s a big upswing.
Also just no pandemic as well.
Is trump the market favorite because only people with weird gambling addictions care about any of these betting odds, and those folks overlap the trump supporters circle in the venn diagram?
I’m so fortunate I had a dentist that isn’t a piece of shit. Nothing she ever said sounded far fetched or like she was trying to get some cash. She unfortunately retired last year, but the other dentists at the practice seem good so far.
Long story short, I had an endodontist say I needed to pull a tooth because there was an infection, and my new dentist could do that. But he said he didn’t think it needed to be done and to go to another endodontist. Turns out the second opinion was to just get a root canal. In and out in fifteen minutes, and I still have my tooth.
So not all dentists are bad!

“You know who ELSE was a…”
Wait; I don’t think this joke works this time…
True. And that is a lot of people. But I was assuming way more than that based on the headline.

Though the article says they went from 1,900 to 1,700 employees, so not necessarily a huge amount relatively.

I’m curious of who down the line capitulated to Bezos.
He could say “don’t endorse!” but someone there also has to say “ok boss!”
They could still run the endorsement. Someone may get fired for it, but Bezos isn’t down in the newsroom hitting the big STOP THE PRESSES button that shuts the whole operation down.
Bezos is also using his ownership of the Washington Post to silence the journalists there. So that’s fun.

Weirdly they are bringing back the PS/2 port.
One port!
Buy our special dongle to connect anything to it. It costs $200!
Barring an insane price jump, I may very well have a new little Mac Mini in a couple of weeks.
I’m very much due for an upgrade. But this one I’m using now has been really reliable for being 10 years old.
Excellent!
Kobo can connect to libraries via apps like Libby (or others), right?
I totally get that. And I have had that same experience once or twice. I break my own rule on those rare occasions where somehow the thing is only there.
The last time I bought from Amazon that I remember was in 2021 when I was putting together a new keyboard. Somehow they were the only ones that had the key caps I wanted. The only other place I could find them was Alibaba, and the shipping there was going to be literally 2 months according to the site.
But for normal items, I go to the seller as much as possible.*
(*And I know for some sellers it’s actually cheaper for them to use Amazon for shipping. I get it. But also, still, I don’t want to give Bezos money so I avoid it if possible.)
Reminder: don’t buy things from Amazon.
Like, anything.
“But fast shipping!” No. Stop. Most places now have pretty good shipping, often for free if you happen to buy a certain amount. It’s OK if the thing comes in 3-5 days and not tomorrow. You will survive.*
*I know there’s a couple of niche cases where some people do need things quick and Amazon serves that purpose. But 99.999% of things are not that.
Proponents of the measure are calling it a hard-fought victory to restore full rights to citizens who have paid their debt to society.
Yep. Makes sense. Especially when we have a real possibility of a felon president.
Wait, so the monitor has some sort of network capability?
I assume it’s full of streaming apps or something and they just also added this fun ad junk to it.
Quick, someone check to see if this copy has anything in it about making Christianity the state religion.
That headline again: “Party of Snowflakes Melt”
