I understand that Ukraine responded by sanctioning the export port and more refineries.

Not seeing the problem. Ship ALL the war criminals off for trial. Every living president is a war criminal. Last one that might not have been was Carter.

And since the useless SCrOTUS won't do anything about their crimes, send them all to the ICC.

This is the exact opposite of what should happen.

End the H1B. Replace it with a program that gives green cards to ALL foreign workers and their families.

Companies should NEVER have the power to control whether employees can stay in the country. The H1B is a wage depression program.

Murder by the state is a crime against humanity.

If this murder happens, everyone involved should be sent off to The Hague for trial, and they should be subject to life without parole. Just like every judge, juror, persecutor, governor, president, warden, and prison guard who has ever participated in a murder by the state.

There is NO crime more heinous.

Have the day you voted for, West Virginia.

Oh, who are we kidding. Of course we'd still give them free healthcare and a universal basic income sufficient to cover their needs by taxing the rich appropriately if we could.

Socialism is like that. It even helps the sh--ty people who are too stupid to vote for their own interests.

It was honestly really stupid of Iran to not build nukes.

Would likely have prevented the attacks.

Oh, that's not why I'm an enemy of the tiny-fingered, ferret-wearing, cheeto-faced s--tgibbon.

How unfortunate.

"Standard Time" sucks. It's one of the few good things the tiny-fingered, ferret-wearing, cheeto-faced s--tgibbon wants, and the piece of garbage can't even get that done.

I'm very glad she survived the attempted murder.

Murder by the state is a crime against humanity. Every judge, juror, governor, persecutor, warden, guard, and anyone else involved in murder by the state should get life in prison. In this case since the victim survived I'd be ok with parole, but if they'd been successful it should be one of the only crimes where life without parole should be allowed.

It's among the most heinous crimes that can be committed.

That's what I don't understand. Russia attacking a NATO country would be suicidally stupid.

Not really. It's trading with the enemy either way.

Fetterman is NOT a moderate. He's an extremist. Moderates do not run around with flags of other countries actively involved in genocide draped on their backs.

It was very thoughtful of him to demonstrate his own principles.

"I think it's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other god-given rights." - Charlie "Weird Small Face" Kirk

It's cute that he thinks that's going to work.

What would work? Price controls and using the defense production act to keep oil companies from cutting production.

What should REALLY be done? Ending the war with Iran, complete with apologies and payment of war reparations. And a commitment to end sales of new ICE vehicles by 2030.

You forgot the timer.

Fridges used to use mechanical timers to control the defrost cycle. Building those to work well is expensive. Nobody does that any more, they're very cheaply built in China, and they don't last long.

So what replaces those is an electronic timer with solid state power control circuitry and a microprocessor, because it's cheap and reliable. Guess what a microprocessor needs? That's right, firmware.

So my 35 year old fridge has firmware in it now. It's never getting updated, but it's there. The electronic timer replaced 4 attempts at getting a mechanical timer to reliably fix it when the original timer failed after 25 years.

So yes, fridges need firmware. They almost certainly don't need firmware updates unless somebody has done something stupid like getting one with WiFi.

(Ok, so networking makes sense if you've got a food service business and you need to be able to monitor the temp in a dozen or more fridges so you can dispatch service and move food if something isn't right, you're better off finding a problem before the health inspector does. You don't need it at your house. And don't get me started on those stupid fridges with screens for what's essentially a big Android tablet on the front.)

And high interest rates will do NOTHING for inflation caused by oil wars.

It's the 1970s all over again.

Yeah, they pulled this stunt the last time around too.

They cancelled mine. But losing coverage immediately triggers a special enrollment period under the ACA. So I had a new policy ready to go before the cancellation took effect.

"Moscow mayor reports intercepting 1,600 drones"

Turns out oil refineries are actually really good drone interceptors. Who knew?

Just a little reminder that the 9/11 hijackers were mostly Saudi...

Guess they finally found a body double.

It doesn't get more reliable than a 4.5 billion year old continuously operating fusion reactor.

Coal is pretty garbage compared to that. And we're getting pretty good at turning that energy into electricity. And nobody gets black lung from it.

Oh good. A non-fix that will do nothing for inflation.

You can't stop inflation with high interest rates when the underlying cause is a tiny-fingered, ferret-wearing, cheeto-faced sh-tgibbon starting wars and throwing tariffs around wildly.

All it will do is increase misery.

Eh, kinda cheap for a full time whore, I'd think.

What an incredibly stupid article.

Hybrids are the past. Battery electric is the future.

Wait, adults actually eat that?

I haven't had one in over 40 years, and I don't intend to change that.
