Traditionally, you win on incumbency alone for congressional seats. It's something like 98% of the time they win their primary. The fact that AIPAC thinks the money is necessary suggests they're afraid despite that traditional inherent advantage.

Most recent one I got was a phishing scam for Trump accounts for kids (the $1k you can get if your kid was born in a Trump year). This really is a shit timeline.

About 60" for the living room, but I try to prioritize image quality over size since I can adjust the distance. Since I have young kids, I have to keep the screen higher and farther than I like, though.

Otherwise, that's it. I use computer monitors if I'm in any other room, and those are ultrawide 30" I think. (And although it's not the question, ISP panels are my favorite even with OLEDs taking over the world. I just like their color profile.)

And kitchen? C'mon. Get a tablet like a normal digital junky.

DNC did this to MAGA candidates and it backfired dramatically. Happy to see GOP falling for the same faulty logic.

And somehow "Everyone is welcome" is permitted. These types of restrictions suck regardless of political notices but the right makes it so much dumber.

Notable that the highest favorably is where the countries invest in soft power. When DOGE gutted the USAID, many of those developing countries noticed (although some of these countries always hated the US, lol)

Say what you will but Taco Hell sounds way better than Taco Bell. More accurate, too!

Depending on how slow the people in front of me are, I'm also more homicidal! At least Sonic has a lethal spin dash for such occasions.

You go, skeleton courier; shoot your shot!

Correct, and an actual study can isolate variables and when you do that, tech is usually a boon. It's especially easy to do with tech, but long term studies are still difficult because of history effects and imperfect control groups.

I can believe Gen Z is doing worse, but almost every study I've been around in education has found Socioeconomic Status to be the strongest factor (by far) and given Gen Z and Alpha are raised by the first generations to have economic decline, it stands to reason that's probably the main factor here.

School interventions do help to some degree to mitigate SES, it's just hard when it's this bad for this long. We're talking decades of decline.

Yeah but that's most of DC right now. Undead walk the halls of Congress.

The part that annoys me most is not one, but three people I know blame Linux for not supporting the invasive anti-cheat, and not the developers.
