- Comment on The White House is paving over the Rose Garden with concrete. People are outraged 2 weeks ago:
“Just inspected the site of the new Ballroom that will be built, compliments of a man known as Donald J. Trump, at the White House,” he began in a post on Truth Social earlier this month.
"For 150 years, Presidents, and many others, have wanted a beautiful Ballroom, but it never got built because nobody previously had any knowledge or experience in doing such things — But I do, like maybe nobody else, and it will go up quickly, and be a wonderful addition, very much in keeping with the magnificent White House itself.
He is so fucking full of himself is almost unbelievable. I’m sure this will turn out just as well as the wall that’s being built and paid for by Mexico.

Nice work on reaching day 337, almost a year now!
- Comment on Why is my GPU's "3D" usage spiking so wildly when I'm not even playing a game? It keeps throttling up and throttling down and the noise is extremely annoying 3 weeks ago:
Start the computer in safe mode and make sure there’s no apps running in systray or anywhere, hopefully fan will remain quiet.
Run msconfig and start the applications in the startup list one by one until you find the culprit.

I hate to read the daily mail, and can only apologise for linking to it but the story is great.
They kept him in a motel for a week, before letting him visit a store where he contacted someone who contacted his mum, to come rescue him …
The victim was rescued only when his captors allowed him a brief trip to a nearby Speedway convenience store on March 21, as reported by FOX8. During the moment of freedom, he managed to make contact with someone who then alerted his mother. ‘When he was there, he made contact with an individual, who got in contact with the victim’s mother,’ Sprow explained. His mother immediately rushed to the Red Roof Inn to rescue her son, and police were called to the scene.

- Comment on Golfing with the moms 1 month ago:
When I’ve been to a driving range there’s someone employed with a golf cart who drives around collecting the balls.
I thought this was a personal ball gobbler and based on the original image it seemed rather impractical, but the big sticky arms makes it much more useful.
- Comment on Golfing with the moms 1 month ago:
Well that’ll teach me for only looking at the picture. That seems much more efficient.
- Comment on Golfing with the moms 1 month ago:
It looks like someone can just pull this along behind them and it’ll pick up the balls and deposit them in the basket.
On the one hand I’m pressed by the engineering, but the other part of me asks is it worth the effort of buying and carrying this device if only collecting a single person’s balls. Seems a lot of effort when one could just pick the 10 balls up by hand …

The teachers answer is perfect. If the phone has the same number then it’s the same phone. If it has a different number then it’s going to be a pain for the student to update all his contacts “new phone, who dis”

Le Chat
The phrase you’re asking about is a play on words and internet slang. Here’s a breakdown:
-
Rizzler: This term refers to someone who has “rizz,” which is slang for charisma or the skill of attracting the opposite sex.
-
Fanum Tax: This is an internet slang term that means stealing someone’s food or being entitled to some of it. It’s often used humorously online.
-
Beta: In internet slang, a “beta” often refers to someone who is perceived as lacking confidence or assertiveness, often contrasted with an “alpha” who is seen as dominant or confident.
-
Rizzness: This is a play on “rizz,” referring to the quality of being charming or attractive.
So, the phrase “Catch a lowkey beta a fish, and you can Fanum tax him” means that if you help someone who is less confident (a beta) by giving them a fish, you can then take some of their food (Fanum tax them). The second part, “Teach a beta to fish, and you destroy a top-tier rizzness opportunity,” suggests that by teaching them to be self-sufficient, you lose the chance to show off your own charm or attractiveness.

- Comment on Krebs throws himself on the grenade, resigns from SentinelOne after Trump revokes clearances 2 months ago:
“Krebs, through CISA, falsely and baselessly denied that the 2020 election was rigged and stolen, including by inappropriately and categorically dismissing widespread election malfeasance and serious vulnerabilities with voting machines,” the presidential missive. This despite the complete lack of credible evidence of any voting irregularities or inaccurate results in the 2020 election of Joe Biden as president.
Trump sure likes his revenge. I wonder when people will start falling out of windows.

Nice explanation. However I’d argue the bottom right panel is different because the right hand door is the back door of the car, and therefore, different to frames 2 and 3.
