It’s going to be really interesting to see how it plays out with the Rupert Murdoch lawsuit…

Not as long as Republicans control the House and Senate.

Not really, because while the Boravians WANTED to kill all the Jarhanpurians, and were ordered to kill all the Jarhanpurians, they were actively prevented from doing so.

30,573 lies in his first term:

Remember when it was bad that W. Bush’s entire administration told 935 lies? Yeah… good times…

The only bad OS is one that won’t do what you want when you want to do it.

I run a mixed environment at home, Windows machine for work, personal Windows machine for interoperability, Linux on the Steam Deck since that what it comes with, external Windows SSD for the Steam Deck since some games absolutely require Windows, Linux NAS for media, Linux Raspberry Pis for some fun side projects, my wife runs MacOS because she’s an Apple Fangirl, Android phone and tablet, iOS work phone for testing. Xbox, Playstation, Switch consoles for gaming.

Agreed, they are SUPPOSED to be the check, but the problem is, they aren’t.

The way it’s SUPPOSED to work is they impeach the President in the House, remove them in the Senate, then turn them over to the Justice department for criminal investigation and action.

If this process is actually going to work, what needs to happen is the Justice Department needs to run the investigation as part of the Judicial Branch, bring the evidence to the House for impeachment, the Senate for Conviction, then haul his ass off to prison.

That cannot happen as long as the Justice department is a function of the executive branch. They refuse to investigate their own sitting boss.

Placing the Justice Department under the Judicial Branch would work two fold:

First, it allows the Justice Department to actually investigate a sitting president, which they will not do currently.

Second, it would prevent the sort of actual political witch hunt that Clinton faced as it’s not Congress running the investigation, it’s the Justice Department.

Spike, in journalist language, means to take a completed news story and kill it before publication.

Congestive Heart Failure is super scary, but survivable. Shit, I did it. In my case it was caused by an irregular heart beat following open heart surgery.

My fluid retention was all in my chest though, not my legs. I couldn’t lay down because it felt like I was drowning. (Because, thanks to the fluid, I was drowning.)

They pulled 4 liters of fluid off me every day for 7 days, then ran an electrocardioversion to fix the heart beat.

For those at home:

4 liters of fluid:

They are the group whose own internal policy prevents them from investigating and prosecuting the executive.

Until there’s an independent agency capable of holding the Executive accountable, there is no check and balance.

It wasn’t even a matter of impulsiveness, it was a matter of sheer ignorance.

Look at the Google searches that followed the Brexit vote:

You do not negotiate with terrorists… Wait, what?

Same if you leave water for the outdoor animals.

Two problems, one I’ve personally had and one I could see happening:

1. With the one I had, it wouldn’t give wet messes time enough to clump, so the cat would exit the litter box, the machine would wait but not long enough, then start the clean cycle.

The strainer would get fouled with the wet mess which would then clump after the fact rendering it non-functional.

It was more work than just cleaning a standard litter box.

2. We don’t have one now, but we have one cat who is very skittish. She would be curious about the new box, then wouldn’t get within 10 feet of it after seeing it run.

Best advice?

Standard litter box + baking soda.

Small layer of litter, coat with baking soda, rest of the litter, top with baking soda, mix to combine.
