  1. I didn't notice excess sodium but a good reminder that I should watch how many I eat. What's your go to? From a quick look it's a little less (1% rda) than WF360 and a little more than Planters. Also 1% more (granted, that's ~20% by volume) than the Peanut Shop of Williamsburg's "lightly salted" at about a quarter of the price.
  2. There's a thing about Truth Social stock. Oddly nobody who's invested in it cares if the company is the least bit profitable. Because it's propped up by supporters and foreign investors, it's worth $5 billion on almost no revenue and $16 million (last quarter) losses. https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/trump-media-says-its-second-quarter-revenue-plunged-30-to-under-900000/
  3. She was really bombed, And I was really blown away, Until I asked her what she wanted, And this is what she had to say: A pearl necklace.
  4. We're in a forum about food and a thread about Costco. I'm not arguing, just pointing out an imbecile. I'm sure it's fascinating.
  5. I've read the following advice from more than one statistics or econ prof. It was also stated in the Vanderbilt study linked by Axios: "Readers should take the margin of error stated on the poll, double it, and see whether the difference between the two candidates is within the doubled margin of error. If it is, then it is hard to conclude which candidate is actually ahead in the race." One big reason is the incredible number of people who do not respond to polls. For example, in the NYT/Siena polls about MI, PA and WI just published the other day, to generate a response from ~1,800 voters, they had to call ~118,000 voters and make 237,000 total telephone calls. The Siena poll is noteworthy for posting their nonresponse rate. The huge number of "nonresponse voters" is not accounted for by the margin of error statistic.
  6. Nope. One of you is enough. Thanks though.
  7. Just a product tip, asswipe. Is that a problem?
  8. $8 for this huge can of huge, excellent peanuts, also available for shipping if you don't want to bother going to the store.
  9. update https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2024/08/12/7469993/
  10. Interesting headline. <But some of the content is wtf.> I wonder if the dude who wrote it has any legitimacy at all, or if he's a fucking troll, feigning fake concern. Quick look.
  11. Article apparently coming out tomorrow about SpaceX polluting in Brownsville. Hearings begin next week on the company's request to increase the number of launches there, too. https://www.borderreport.com/news/environment/faa-holding-public-hearings-on-spacex-request-to-increase-launches-on-south-texas-border/
  12. Tonight she made the No Tax on Tips a moot issue and upped the ante with an increase in minimum wage. Excellent move. Trump's response is to whine, of course.
  13. I don't think it's true. I saw he's going to do one rally in a swing state next week. Yep. A swing state.
  14. My recollection is this: Russia hacked, strategically altered, and then gave the documents to Wikileaks, which posted them on the internet. Various media outlets accessed the documents and then spent weeks reporting on them even though they were unable to verify their authenticity. He did a quick fundraiser in Aspen today on the way back to his FL shithole from MT.
  15. Seriously. The incels love the dudes (Fat Don and Putin) with more personal protection than all but two people on the planet. Yet those two rarely come out of their bunkers. In contrast here's the Swifties after learning that Isis was planning a terror event in Vienna.
  16. Shocking but true: In 2023, Florida's state legislature unanimously passed and fuckin' Ron DeSantis signed a free menstrual products bill that, much like MN's legislation, does not specify gender. http://www.leg.state.fl.us/statutes/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&Search_String=&URL=1000-1099/1006/Sections/1006.064.html
  17. There's coozies https://store.kamalaharris.com/harris-walz-camo-can-cooler/ Also a new product pitch:
  18. Harris' handlers are smart. They already have her getting prepared for the debates by practicing gently mocking older white men.
  19. His pleading for Biden will lead to epic mockery at the Democratic Convention. "What the fuck did you do now," my wife wanted to know. Half the country, or less, doesn't even know who Walz is yet. Big bump in the polls incoming and I can't believe (well, yes I can) Trump has advisors stupid enough to think Harris wouldn't get a post-convention bounce. (Trump prefers to hire people dumber than him or extremely subservient.) Yep. I'm anxious to see how many get on the call, how many volunteer, and how many donate. It'll probably be the first time donating or volunteering for many of them. Women under 50 are uniting for Kamala and fired up, except of course for the nutty trad wives.
  20. The fascists continue to be 100% befuddled. They're also in peak snowflake mode.
