I know. Nothing stresses me out more than weighing mice

Yeah. I was in Hawaii when 9/11 happened, and of course all flights at the time were canceled for days. It wasn’t a bad place to be stuck for a little while, but even that short of a delay in returning did cause a few issues.

It is sad that on any topic concerning South America, I am suspicious of anything that the US says.

We had a Saudi prince in custody?

John Bolton. I only want to hear from this guy if he’s on the witness stand. I can’t believe he still gets interviews.

That’s a weird thing to say

While this can’t be the only line of attack, it is a good one. Already, Trump seems to be having difficulty attacking Harris, as he has to work to continually suppress saying the most racist and sexist things he can think of. Imagine if he has to react to the ‘weird’ criticism by continually, on the fly, suppress some of his stranger speaking topics too. I’m guessing the mental load of doing that might put an amusing amount of strain on the old man. Imagine Trump, if the rallies weren’t fun for him anymore. How’s he going to recharge that narcissistic brain of his?

He has a platform. He needs repercussions.

I’m not sure why the senate shouldn’t subpoena him, and have him appear before them to explain just what he means by this. He wouldn’t show, of course, and end up in contempt of congress. Of course, this would make him even more popular with his cult, but we already know who they’ll vote for.

Really, he keeps doing shit that would get anyone else arrested. It’s time to arrest him.

Thanks, I’ll have to look at that

Multiple - that was it. Thanks!

I loved being able to group news/posts according to subject. Feel like news related to only one group today - no problem!

When I used RIF, I could group subreddits together (can’t remember what the name for it was), so I could put all subreddits for one subject in one group, all subs for another subject in another. It was great when I felt like seeing news about one subject, but felt like ignoring everything else.

I don’t think lemmy has anything like this, and I don’t know if any of the apps do this either.

I reeaaaaly miss being able to group subs.

Bravo!

the margin of his election was thin enough that not trampling over the progressive side of the party would have kept him out of office

There, see. There’s the fault in your argument. The Democratic party can’t seem to stop trampling over progressives

The expert quoted has had quite a life:

After earning a BA in English literature from UCLA, Austad left academia for a number of years during which among other things, he drove a taxi cab in New York City, worked as a newspaper reporter, and trained lions for television and movies.

He sounds pretty cool.

I admit I looked him up only because his view challenged what I’ve been seeing in reporting on studies done in this area. I’ve seen what seems like a trend in studying and comparing changes in lifespan and healthspan in male and female subjects (in both human and mouse). I suspect I am suffering from some recency bias, but it really does seem to me like studies in this area are better at teasing out sex differences than in non-longevity lines of research.

Anyway, thought I’d mention the expert’s colorful past

Eye sea. Ewe our sew wright. Make language mistake non possible. Easy awl understand every won know matter what. Y try harder

It is an often used and well known colloquialism

It is a bastardization of a well known colloquialism

To a non US English speaker it would understandably sound strange

To English speakers who’ve heard it and have given it any thought, it just sounds careless, or stupid

If someone were to point out something like this to me, I’d just say “oops”, learn from it, and move on. I wouldn’t double down on it. It’s like defending ‘would of’, or ‘supposably’ - obvious mishearings of other words. People know what you mean; it is just that you are also telling them something you probably don’t mean to.
