I’m not seeing that itemized in my bill or providers portal. However I do pay for unlimited data so maybe they think it doesn’t matter

I looked at the year in review and I am the lowest data usage in my family with 48G last year. However I have poor cell reception at home so am usually on WiFi

I really think the difference is those who listen to Drump and those who don’t. If you’ve voted Republican all your life and same for all your friends and family members, and don’t really pay attention to the news, have never seen the decades of cons, most importantly never listen to an actual speech, you may think he’s conservative. Tells it like it is. Good for the economy (because of course republicans are).

It’s only those of us who pay attention who are horrified

Do you not interact with your customer? As a software engineer, it’s part of my job to sell the project manager or customer on details they haven’t thought of or may not fully understand

The problem is to not just that. Up here in New England we have no coal, no nuclear, insufficient gas pipelines, and taco Don Quixote keeps tilting at our windmills

Look at OP, claiming to have that mythical girlfriend who will make a sandwich without escalating privileges

Stephen mliller, life sentence

their economic model is better than the West’s.

Policy. Their economic policy is better. Their government has some far-reaching strategies, creates comprehensive policies to develop them, and maintains those policies consistently across many years. They effectively guide competition and long term vision into their market, just like any competent government ought to do

That’s also the biggest place we’re failing. Lack of vision, lack of strategy, no consistency. Even worse when your administration enriches themselves, plays favorites, outright takes bribes, holds themselves above the law, rules out of spite and personal feelings, focuses only on short term

what has been called potentially the largest agency data breach for the department

Have we already forgotten DOGE?

Suntan, believe it or not, were mist responsive but they also earned their scamminess reputation. I would never do business with them but they solicited through my neighborhood while I was getting quotes so I said fine. They wouldn’t stop trying to sell me PPAs though, even after I made clear I was only interested in direct purchase , and of course never named what they were or gave actual facts about them

I read it as the judge thinking they have a good case so hand over most of it to keep them operating, then see how the case plays out

Maybe I’m continuing to be naively optimistic, but it’s hard to see military brass agreeing to attack nato troops

So we’re assuming someone who makes $89M is

• getting all her income through onlyfans
• is not incorporated
• has no deductible business expenses

I get some of these simplifications for the sale of discussion but the federal corporate income tax rate is 21% (yes, at least half of us are subsidizing corporations)

You’d expect her to being paid some salary as an employee of her corporation, and depending how the wrote it, it’s possible only that would be subject to sin tax, and it’s relatively insignificant

Oooooh, maybe I should make quesadillas

My youngest loves them. My older kid can’t eat them because he recently had wisdom teeth removed but we have leftover soup or mac&cheese

Pasta. Probably tortellini, but I have several options. In pesto because that’s my favorite, plus I don’t have any marinara or similar. My youngest would vote or a lemon-butter-garlic instead. I usually throw in bell peppers and spinach

It’ll likely be short on protein but my oldest had wisdom teeth removed last week so I’m sticking with softer foods

Nice. I’m a bit jealous.

I finally saved up a bit to install solar (without a loan, PPA, or lease), but my older house has too much shade and companies were too scammy.

• all the quotes would only install enough to cover half my usage and most never replied when I tried asking questions
• I swear solar salesmen are the new used car salesmen, I just felt so dirty and used every time I had to deal with them. I never did find an installation company that I thought was being honest
• then I just ran out of patience and eventually the incentives expired

The huge egg price increases always were meaningless (to politics) and regional. It’s all local shortages from rolling culling events to stop avian flu.

I let my Costco membership lapse for a bit so now have

• a small container of dishwasher detergent that was the same price at the grocery as costcos much larger
• tiny rolls of paper towels that are in a similar sized case and similar price as costcos much larger
• I had to get “family” sized cereal box instead of “mega” and it’s just not enough for me as a single person
• 2 out of 3 grocery runs so far this year, there have not been “jumbo” eggs at any proce

If I can give an overly pedantic answer, it’s not him. I certainly never give such a vile human being a pass but …… his advisors have their own agendas. At least some of the evilness is their agenda and Trump is either the sock puppet, was bribed, or just doesn’t care about anyone besides himself.

It’s an extra step. Sometimes that’s the best you can do

Seems like it ought to be another easy win in court, assuming we ever restore rule off law
