Porksnort enjoys laying in the sunshine. Porksnort will not refuse any offer of a snack. Porksnort thinks ‘Christian’ means you have thought a lot about how to live according to the words Jesus apparently actually said.

  • If the dems use skullduggery to avoid primaries, they are no longer ‘the lesser evil’ and the old blue-no-matter-who arguments do not apply anymore.

    It’s not that deep. Give me a real choice in a primary.

  • Maybe you can help me find better words that rhyme with ‘frottage’? I’m writing an epic song cycle that details as many ways to get off that don’t involve intromission.

    Oh and it’s the 10th already, you can just slip the rent under the door…

  • ‘They’ do want it to happen. Ordinary USians are gettng uppity and need to be taken down a peg.

    The global elite don’t really need anything specific from the US anymore. For a brief moment, the world needed our higher education system, which is why anyone under 60 who went to grad school had lots of non-US folks in their cohorts. Those folks have gone back home in large part so there are plenty of skilled experts in critical fields internationally.

    The US has no remaining unique resources, be they skilled people or natural resources. So we need to be dealt with since many of us still hold on to quaint notions like ‘freedom’, ‘autonomy’ and ‘living wage’.

  • What’s your favourite forgotten/niche or otherwise obscure TV series that you wish more people knew about?

    Jump

  • I just discovered this one for the first time myself. It is the apotheosis of stupid TV, pitch perfect in so many ways.

  • Japanese Power Plant Turns Saltwater Into Electricity

    Jump

  • Right. It seems analogous to regenerative braking in a gas/electric hybrid car. The momentum is turned back into electricity to reclaim potential energy. Some of the energy was already spent in RO stage and this process gets some of it back.

  • Cracker Barrel quietly removes DEI and Pride pages from its website after logo upheaval

  • Anyone who has ever worked in a kitchen or as a server knows that they are wall-to-wall queer-friendly. If Cracker Barrel has trouble now keeping things staffed (they will), this is why.

    Kitchen people are often woke af because they have had to be to survive.

  • Fun fact: you do not need permission to re-word your own texts if you realize upon re-reading it that one sounds like a snarky bitch.

  • Stop growing alfalfa in the goddamn desert, maybe? Stacys and Chads letting the tap run while they brush each other’s teeth is not the problem here.

  • See my comment to OP for a recentish publication that shows the same thing all studies previously have shown. You are quite correct.

  • No one that has looked at this in a serious way agrees with you.

    From the abstract:

    “These results suggest that the movements involved in handwriting allow a greater memorization of new words. The advantage of handwriting over typing might also be caused by a more positive mood during learning. Finally, our results show that handwriting with a digital pen and tablet can increase the ability to learn compared with keyboard typing once the individuals are accustomed to it.”

    Handwriting helps retention better than typing.

  • True true.

    Imagine further if Henry Wallace had not been replaced as FDR’s VP by Truman just a few months before FDR died. We would have had a real scientist (HW was a corn geneticist who founded the first hybrid corn seed company) at the helm.

    The post-world war 2 world would have developed very differently.

  • Nah, didn’t miss it. We are just talking past each other as happens online, nbd. $1.7k is surely not enough to live on. Yet, it can make a huge difference to a low income person.

    I do not know your circumstances, poverty is a unique experience that people who grew up with even just a tiny bit more security seem to not truly understand. We have sayings like ‘grinding poverty’ for a reason. IYKYK.
