It takes way longer than that for me to share my opinions. The Earth should be rotated at least 30-40 degrees.

According to my brief googling, there are 131.43 million households in America, and either 79 or 80 million American households own dishwashers. I could not find a breakdown by state, but I suspect they’re predominantly popular in wealthier areas, and less popular in poorer areas.

Anyone born to an American citizen is an American citizen, regardless of where it happens. Most foreign countries don’t grant citizenship based on place of birth the way the US does, so if you go to Afroeurasia expecting to get a dual citizenship for your child, it’s likely to fail, but they would still be an American.

Vowels have low point values, so I would prioritize getting new tiles. It might be different if you could somehow play six or seven of these tiles, but I think 4 vowels left is still more than the optimal number.

You’re not showing the rest of the board, so of the letters visible, ‘oi’ on the beginning of oozed is the best I see.
“Aeon” or “iota” would be much better, if there’s a cooperative n or t.

In order to make sourkraut, you need cabbage, salt, a knife, a cutting board, a big bowl, a scale, and an appropriate storage container for fermentation.
Start by rinsing the outside of the cabbage. Peel off any leaves that are damaged badly, cut out any smaller bad spots, then quarter each head, remove the core, and cut small strips. Weight the cabbage you have remaining, divide the weight by 50, and put that much salt together with the cabbage strips in the large bowl. Mix the salt and cabbage occasionally, and either punch it, or squeeze it. After 2 - 4 hours, there should be a good bit of liquid at the bottom of the bowl.
Transfer the cabbage and the liquid to your fermentation vessel. Use weights or a plastic bag full of water to make sure the cabbage is below the salty water. Wait for 6-12 weeks, checking on it at least once per week.
Lots of things can be used for fermenting, but the best is a stone crock with a lid that has a water seal around the outside, and a gas release valve on top. The cabbage can smell strongly during fermentation, so get approval from anyone you live with before attempting this recipe.

If you start with the laces correctly run through the eyelets along the tongue, and with each end roughly the same length, you can pull the lace ends directly up, cross them in an X shape, then pass one end below the x, and pull the slack out of that. Then make a loop on each lace tail, but with opposite chirality. Reach your thumb and index finger through each loop, and grab the edge of the opposing loop which is further from the end of the lace. Now pull each loop through the other, tighten up the knot, and dress it until it looks presentable. If the resulting knot is 90 degrees from the intended direction, use the alternate chirality on each of the loops next time to fix that.
A bonus of this approach is that it’s the same on your shoe as it is on someone else’s, so you can help children with their shoes more easily.

My grandmother said that old is always 3 years away, but IMO, the end of being a “young woman” is somewhere around 32.

- Comment on Anon watches The Terminator 2 months ago:
There’s one gun show near me that allows private sellers to register for a table. The only time I’ve ever seen it is people in a historic items collectors club that show up, and I’ve only ever seen one with a gun to sell that was in working order and manufactured post-1899. He wanted $5,000 for a beat up m1917 Enfield. I don’t know whether he was stupid, or looking for someone else who was.

I would prefer Murphy’s cat: “Any time there’s a cat, it will make something go wrong.”
And Murphy’s razor: “The simplest problem is probably the one that happens.”
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
I don’t like Elon. I think he’s not very smart, and I want him far from the government. I suspect he’s cozying up to Trump to get funding for SpaceX, and electric vehicle subsidies, and he’ll probably continue his underhanded battle against any kind of good public transit.
If you watch it as a video, he says “my heart goes out to you”, puts his hand on his heart, then does a throwing motion, that ends with his hand up, and out to the side. Then he turns to a different part of the crowd, and does the same motion again.
It’s not an accident, it’s an awkward gesture, because he’s an awkward person. A Nazi salute has the arm held up, and directly forward from the shoulder for some time. His arm is out to the side, and only there for a moment. Unfortunately, there are probably neonazis too stupid to know the differences.
Treating everything as Nazi symbolism means that more and more people won’t hear alarm bells when you say there’s Nazi imagery, so the media pushing hoaxes like this is bad for public discourse as a whole.

I can correctly compute that 12345678+87654321 is 99999999, and that 111111111*111111111 is 12345678987654321. Maybe I am a bot?
Well, no matter. I’m going to return to reading every Wikipedia article sorted lexicographically.

- Comment on USA President term limits 5 months ago:
The 13th ended slavery. You’re probably thinking of the 12th which says that no person constitutionally ineligible to “be” president can be elected as vice president. Importantly, the 22nd only places limits on being “elected” as president, so it’s not (necessarily) creating a constitutional requirement to “be” president by some other means.
Like I said, it could be an interesting legal fight if it even came up.
- Comment on USA President term limits 5 months ago:
You can only be elected as president twice. You can probably hack the system by getting multiple other presidents to select you as vice president, then resign. If you serve more than 2 years of the term they were elected to, that reduces the number of times you can be elected as president to one.
The 22nd amendment doesn’t say that someone that serves 3.99 years of another president’s term multiple times can’t still be elected, and it doesn’t say that someone not qualified to be elected as president can’t be elected as vice president, but the 12th amendment might. Either of those could be an interesting legal fight.

- Comment on Pants 5 months ago:
The belt and belt loops go all along the top row. If there’s only one row, the matrix can only wear a short-shorts version. There’s a crotch in each space between columns, and a leg on every column of length greater than 1.
Sparse matrices have their own special pants that are more efficient, of course.
- Comment on When was the last time a Republican Oresident left office with a good economy? 5 months ago:
George HW Bush was the last one to leave office while the economy was doing well. It was going fine at the end of George W Bush’s first term, then the 2007 housing crash brought it down. Trump’s first term ended with the covid lockdowns severely harming the state of things. So… 3 Republican presidencies ago, but that’s a lot of years.
- Comment on Realistically... How fucked is the US? 5 months ago:
Trump was pretty ineffective in his first term, largely because he did a terrible job of supporting people who really agreed with his agenda, and an even worse job of removing people from influential positions who didn’t.
He said during his campaign that he knew much better who to trust, but now he’s got Elon Musk and RFK Jr. prominently featured. I don’t think he has learned anything, and I think he will be just as ineffective this time.
It’s possible that some of the Republicans in Congress will support more of his agenda, but even there if they have to overcome the filibuster, I don’t think mass deportation, a federal abortion ban, or most of the rest of the potential worst of it is in the cards.
- Comment on And 299999999 is divisible by 13 5 months ago:
With 17, I understand that you’re referring to how 299,999 is also divisible by 17. What is the 51 reference, though? I know there’s 3,999,999,999,999 but that starts with a 3. Not the same at all.
