  • Yeah, I don’t have a piece of shit microwave, the button makes perfect bags every time, regardless of brand or type.

    The quality of the button is almost directly proportional to the quality of the microwave. Basic ones just are a timer, which is useless. As you work your way up you get various sensors for things like humidity and even microphones to determine kernel pop timing.

    The quality of all of those programmed buttons is directly related to those more advanced sensors.








  • Because they’re not actually against pedophiles. They are pedophiles, but they can’t admit that. So they claim other people are pedophiles, like transgenders, and use that to shift the conversation away from the real issues. So were instead having to deal with defending baseless accusations with no proof, while they slip through in the chaos.

    And since the media has abandoned any semblance of journalistic integrity under their oligarch owners, they are failing their duty to accurately educate the populace on both current and past events like they once did fairly reliably.




  • The issue is what the valuation of the seized assets are. The asset seizure is only to fulfill the monetary debt since he cannot pay the entire amount in cash. If he could pay it in full, there would be no seizure (unless the seizure itself was a separate part of the judgement). The valuation is essentially what someone is willing to pay for it, and in this case, there are only 2 bidders to value it.

    The Onion’s bid was not the highest bid, but does have the backing of the family. Jones on the other hand also has a right for the valuation to be as correct as possible to fulfill his debt. This type of situation isn’t particularly unique, and it’s not exactly new.

    The Judge could end up deciding that The Onion’s bid goes through due to family backing since the debt is to them and the asset being sold is directly relevant to the judgement, but the valuation of the opposing bid is counted against the debt, which is the only thing Jones is really entitled to here.






  • The Senate is. The House is not. The artificial limit of 435 set in 1911 has turned it into a pseudo-Senate and done a lot of harm to this country. With the same population representation as then, we should have around 1600 Representatives now.

    A lot of the issues we currently have in Congress simply wouldn’t exist with the House operating as it was designed.

    This is where the issue is. The Senate works as intended, it is meant to give the States equal power so a State like California can’t just dictate what Delaware does. The House is supposed to represent based on population. The arbitrarily low cap has turned it into a second pseudo-Senate.

    The House should have something like 1600 members to properly represent States. Every House seat should represent roughly the same amount of people, but that’s not how it works now because of the limit. Two Representatives from different states can represent massively different sized populations.




  • 14 million isn’t something Harris could do on her own. They left because the Dem establishment gave no reason to show they cared about people. While the Republican were saying “it’s hard, we’ll fix it” the Dems kept insisting “it’s actually not that bad”.

    Obviously the Reps “fix” will be worse, but the Dems just stuck their head in the sand and ignored everything the average American needs to get by on a daily basis. It’s why 14 million voters abandoned them. 1 million went to Trump, the other 13 million gave up.
