"justice 40" and the total drilling ban are two things that come to mind. How about this?
My old man's meniscus finally wore out in his early 80s, and suddenly he wasn't running down to his garden any more. That's the one thing that really drove it home that he was only going to get weaker every year, because now there were hard limits on what he could do. No more long walks, trips he had planned, or big projects we were going to do together.
He's turning 90 this year, and now that his heart is slowly starting to go he's having a harder time splitting his firewood and hoeing the smaller replacement garden patch on his front lawn. He gets overwhelmed doing his taxes now, so I took that over a few years ago.
I'm sure Goodhartberg's minority-owned Shtreimel shop would do brisk business under that rule.
I mean to be fair, judging by all the prayer request chain emails I get from friends, they think this about a lot of people. There's some carcinisation features of folk religions that evolve over and over. In another fifty years I wouldn't be surprised to see Americans burning money at funerals so the deceased can tip St Peter the customary 25%

There is a rebuttable presumption that the following individuals are socially disadvantaged: Black Americans; Hispanic Americans; Native Americans (Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians, or enrolled members of a Federally or State recognized Indian Tribe); Asian Pacific Americans (persons with origins from Burma, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Brunei, Japan, China (including Hong Kong), Taiwan, Laos, Cambodia (Kampuchea), Vietnam, Korea, The Philippines, U.S. Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands (Republic of Palau), Republic of the Marshall Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, Samoa, Macao, Fiji, Tonga, Kiribati, Tuvalu, or Nauru); Subcontinent Asian Americans (persons with origins from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Bhutan, the Maldives Islands or Nepal); and members of other groups designated from time to time by SBA according to procedures set forth at paragraph (d) of this section
There's another 50 billion we could save, plus all the time wasted having to order from your local "minority owned office supplies" company at a 50% markup.

I'd add a rule that you're not allowed to use Claude without threatening to personally unsolder its gpus unless it cuts out the ass-kissing.
I'm not kidding, the base personality they forced on that thing is the most grating thing I've ever experienced.

They all seem pretty generic fortune cookie cold reading. Can you press it for quotes to see if it's hallucinating?
I haven't seen any actual shrines to trump with candles and offerings at the alter, and I haven't seen any newspaper articles saying "Many spiritually advanced people I know identify Trump as a lightworker, that rare kind of attuned being who actually help usher in a new way of being on the planet"
So that's one level of crazy even his colloidal silver quaffing fans haven't reached yet. They just think he executed Hillary Clinton and replaced her with a clone as part of The Plan.

Don't the majority of people have that? Pretty sure I have it, because I used to occasionally get a cold sore as a little kid.

folks like @SteveAgain like fedposting.
Link some. Come on, put up
You do? Why? Other people have already linked half the evidence I was right. He outright says he just wants to go slow on pushing the "trans kids" thing until nature has been fully conquered with womb transplants. It's literally wokeist transhumanism but not bullying hard enough to cause a backlash. The same goals but managed by clever smooth-talking lawyers who can con people into surrendering instead of fighting.
It's the exact same thing you said you find creepy about him!
Speed and methods are important.
Yes, as in "we freaked the normies out going too hot and fast on the trans kids thing, we need to be more subtle next time." He literally says it every time he talks about the issue!
Buy a couple hundred shares of NVDA as a joke.
Instantly bounces.
Maybe I should buy a new PC with some of this?
Check the new Nvidia GPU prices.
Still can't afford one.
Guess I played myself with that one.

It's like NANOWRIMO but for the turner diaries but in Minecraft
Take for example the Nintendo 64. No hardware that exists currently can emulate the machine better than itself
Eh? Kaze mentions his version of Mario running fast on real hardware as if it was taken for granted that emulators could deliver much higher performance.
We've talked recently about wind power. With the Pacific Northwest in an extended cold snap (by our standards at least), I wanted to share some graphs of the situation.
The first three links on this site show production vs load in various combinations. #4 shows everything at once.
https://transmission.bpa.gov/Business/Operations/Wind/default.aspx
The attached image shows the familiar habit of wind falling off during stable lows: we are getting a slow flow of freezing air from the north, which can't run the windmills sited for east-west wind (and wouldn't be fast enough to do any good anyway)
We're currently importing power and running gas plants flat out, which means the hydro isn't keeping up. Going to be a lot of demand charges local utilities will have to smear around during summer. But people with grid-tied solar are using kwh credits as if their summer production is worth just as much as today's urgent demand.
If you have a similar resource in your area, check it out. Get an idea of how your power is generated and routed. Start thinking about it as a nuts and bolts issue like you're the engineer in charge, and pretty soon abstract redditism arguments about energy policy will bore and disgust you.

Speaking of, can you suggest anything for uncensored translation assistance? I sometimes need help breaking down sentences, and no model I've tried yet will do it without obnoxious comments and trying to "loosely translate" rather than explaining grammar and slang.
If you don't know any, do you know where I could lurk to learn more? Most people I know into AI are either diffusion-coomers or hyper focused local-only autists building their dream waifu.

San Francisco deciding we must roll coal to save the planet from evil billionaires would be the last straw for me putting on clown makeup and moving into the sewers
No, he says he doesn't want them to push for transing kids until they can do womb transplants to guarantee no loss of fertility. It's literally in the last essay he wrote about conquering nature!
