Well, they didn't put carpet on the bathroom floor. But they've arguably found something far worse.

Probably not surprising tht Oppenheimer is furthest ahead in New Mexico. But why is Mississippi so into Barbie?

I also discovered this. I was panicking a little bit when I started smelling what seemed like sewage in my basement. In a 100 year old house, I was wondering what broke. After a few hours, I figured out that there were potatoes rotting in the pantry, which was more open to the basement than it was to the main floor of the house - so all the smell sank down there. It was honestly a relief.

The further you go, the more specialized it gets. There are people I know doing their PhDs in CS, but it was pretty much just straight math. I'm now an expert in a very specific area of robotics. But it's only worth it if you have a specific reason to go to grad school, like for a particular career path. If it's just because you like learning, it's not worth it. There's a big opportunity cost.

My older sibling did something similar - getting Ubuntu installed on my very first laptop (a 9" netbook) back in 2008 and replacing windows XP. But be warned: it is a slippery slope. At the time , I just wanted a computer that I could take class notes on (high school), and never wanted to touch programming or the terminal. Now I have a PhD in computer science. I still don't use Arch though.

And for me, as one of the few women in my CS program: plenty of opportunities, and plenty of douchebags.

These ads are getting so much more prevalent, and so much more subtly marked. Google (and places like reddit and Facebook) designs them to feel as much like organic content as possible. I have a pihole on my home network, in part to prevent exactly the type of mistake you described.

It is possible to get transition care while on Medicaid in some states, at least. Because it's healthcare! So that would qualify at "taxpayer funded." I know some states explicitly ban it, and not sure what Medicare covers. There are also government employees who can get transition care through their insurance, so could be considered taxpayer funded?

In any case, I'd much rather have all trans people be able to get taxpayer funded transition related care.

(In tithe US) It's not safe or up to code to cover knob and tube wiring with insulation because that can cause it to overheat and start fires. But this is modern Romex wiring, not 100+ year old wiring. Many wires in your house are running through insulation - like everything in an exterior wall. They're designed for this.

Why don't they? Because they know it's not true. They know that they don't have evidence that they can present in court, and even they aren't dumb enough to perjur themselves. Their plan was never to win in a court of law: it was so win in a court of their own supporters' public opinion.

Video evidence showing them hiding evidence seems like a pretty slam dunk way to get a warrant.

When our current car dies, I'd like to replace it with an EV - but 0% chance it'll be a Tesla.
