So it’s the plague’s empty toilet paper section only store-wide? Great…

I wear hearing aids and air dryers annoy the hell out of me because they’re so loud. Almost as much as leaf blowers annoy me.

Hearing aids don’t have the ability to filter noises so it’s like plugging a microphone into headphones and trying to carry on conversations. Mine can now reduce loud noises a little bit so they don’t damage my already horrible hearing further but that wasn’t the case when I had them as a kid and air dryers started getting more popular, that shit hurt.

You know, with all the crap going on in the U.S. right now I’m ok with the watermark

I’m driving. I lose my brakes and can’t slow down as if my gas pedal is stuck (unstoppable force). I’m on a road that stops at a T intersection and there’s a concrete wall to keep people from going straight when they are moving vertically towards the T intersection (immovable object).

The car just goes right through the concrete wall with no damage?

Replace the concrete wall with a wooden fence. Technically the fence is immovable, but the car is going to smash right through that thing.

So is this about clarifying what exactly the objects are? I’m not smart enough for this one and am so confused…

HUD housing is already a shithole in most areas. I guarantee nobody on DOGE even understands what HUD does. I live in HUD housing because in on SSDI.

I’m going to be homeless soon, if I’m not disappeared before any changes happen to HUD.

As someone currently on SSDI and terrified by what’s been happening in the last 100 or so days…that’s not funny 😜

As someone with multiple mental illness labels and struggling to do basic levels of self-care often, I’m terrified of this. But I also unrealistically think it works make my life easier. Besides the torture.

“We have to go through this long process to resurrect them, to get them back as alive, which can take about three to four days,” Glasgow added.

And that’s not including how long it will take to reverse the real damage done when bank accounts are frozen, health insurance is dropped, SNAP benefits are dropped, etc, etc.

looks at $117,000 needed to “afford” a house

looks back at pay statement and realizes the income works out to very close to 10 times LESS

I knew I was poor, but damn dude.

So what happens when they can’t find a jury? Had there ever been a case of that in U.S. history?

His time at DOGE may “drop significantly,” but in the same call he made it clear he intends to continue his political work until (at least) 2029. “I’ll have to continue doing it for, I think, probably the remainder of the president’s term, just to make sure that the waste and fraud that we stop does not come roaring back, which will do if it has the chance,” he said, adding he still plans to spend “a day or two a week” at the quasi agency.

He’s just not going to be in the spotlight, but he will absolutely still control Trump and DOGE on a daily basis

Which makes the debt ceiling fight that’s coming up even more interesting. (article from March 24th)

The U.S. is most likely to default on its $36 trillion national debt sometime between mid-July and early October if Congress doesn’t act, the Bipartisan Policy Center predicted Monday.

…

Debt limit forecasters are expected to release a narrower X-date prediction after most tax receipts have landed at the IRS in April. While it’s “quite unlikely,” there is still a possibility that the U.S. could run out of borrowing power in early June if that gush of tax revenue comes in far below projections, the Bipartisan Policy Center cautioned.

The cost-cutting efforts of the Department of Government Efficiency effort headed by Elon Musk could also affect cash flow enough to change the X-date prediction, along with the strength of the economy, tariffs and any new spending or cuts Congress approves, the center said.

Given how DOGE is inflating it’s cost cutting savings by over $140 Billion, the tariff trade war, and congress’ habit of pushing things to the brink when their luck is going to run out sooner or later – this could get ugly quick.

Correct, from the Asahi Linux website:

Is this a Linux distribution?

Asahi Linux is an overall project to develop support for these Macs. The majority of the work resides in hardware support, drivers, and tools, and it will be upstreamed to the relevant projects. Our flagship distro is Fedora Asahi Remix, which is a collaboration between Asahi Linux and the Fedora Project, and serves as both a polished end-user distribution and a reference for other distributions who wish to incorporate our work.

Other distributions are already working on implementing support for these platforms, and we expect to have more options officially available in the future. Check out our Alternative Distros page for a list of ongoing distro integration projects.

I only know this because I’ve been seriously looking into running Linux on my M2 MacBook Air and trying to peel myself out of the Apple ecosystem but found there isn’t many options right now where everything works – especially TouchID. I’m not new to Linux, I just needed dependability and stability that I always seemed to mess up in my Linux days in the late 2000’s/early 2010’s and got sick of Windows.

Agreed.

I am terrified this is going to happen to me being on SSDI and in HUD housing. Glad to know my fears are justified now 🤨

EDIT: Uhhhhhhh…11 million out of 73 million purged? 🫣

Wait….so we’re just going to ignore the separation of church and state, never mind spouting off sexist bullshit?
