I mean, he’s technically correct: the constitution gives congress the power “to constitute Tribunals inferior to the supreme Court.” The only court the US technically has to have is SCOTUS, although it’s hard to imagine them hearing every single federal case.
Interestingly, Congress does not have the power to fire or reduce any judge’s salary, except by impeachment.
Disapproval is a temporary condition, anyway. Soon enough, it’ll be illegal (or at least dangerous) to express disapproval, and Trump’s numbers will be right up there with Putin and Kim.
Nevermind including a reporter in the group chat. Can we talk about why these people are using a commercial service to hold classified discussions in the first place? Like, isn’t bombing another country SCIF-type stuff? Isn’t that stuff subject to the Federal Records Act?
I saw a youtube pipe maker using a hot wire to burn holes in green branches for pipe stems. General theory being that the pith would burn easier than the sapwood, so the wire would follow the natural curve of the wood. Obviously only works on relatively small diameter branches, but the general idea of fire forming might be helpful.
As a long-term non-exerciser, routine and coupling it with a reward was definitely key. I started out just walking, and walking to get lunch was a key motivator. Upgraded to a rowing machine, and it doesn’t even feel like a chore to sit on the machine and watch a movie in parts or a show, going on 5 years.
Still have to figure out how to get some strength work in there. Just can’t seem to find a system to consistently do a few push ups, pull ups, and stand ups.
For me, the effort of going somewhere to exercise is a big impediment, and I’m self-conscious exercising in front of people. The low barrier to start a daily workout wins, hands down.
Others find camaraderie just having other people involved in the same process, or really enjoy the variety of machines and options of a well-equipped facility.
You have to figure out which type of person you are. The most important thing is just to do something. (Unless you have specific, Jason Momoa-type goals in mind)
It’s a shame these graphs - all the graphs in the paper - report number of people and not rate. Makes it yet another population map, although the exponential growth of untreated diabetes in Americas and Asia is a pretty stark contrast to Europe, even without normalization.
Wait, really? You know what Israelis do with pagers, right?
Trouble is defining “The Rich.” Like, definitely billionaires, but there’s only a thousand of them, and you can do a lot of damage with half that. 1% are people with something around $10-15M, and that doesn’t really feel like buy-your-way-out-of-murder money. But even millionaires are probably pretty well insulated from concerns of rent and the price of eggs.
If it were up to me, “Rich” would be somewhere in the 8-figures region, but I’m one of those privileged, ‘comfortable,’ oldere people.
Seems to me like board width would be the main concern. Hard (for me) to get solid boards any more than 30cm/12" wide, and a shelf stack that shallow will get kind of unstable when stacked more than a few units high. Strength wise, it ought to be fine.
I think I’d still use plywood for the back/bottoms, assuming you’ll fit them in a dado, which will hide any splintering at the edges.
Everyone who survives will be immune.
That’s the whole logic. It was awful enough with Covid’s 1% mortality. Measles only kills about 0.1%. Bird flu kills 90-100% of infected birds and 50% of infected humans. And there’s plenty of lasting/permanent deficits short of literal death. They’re psychopaths.
Traveled to Rome recently (as US citizen). Walked no more than 10 minutes from the gate, was 5th in line to one of a half dozen or so automated camera/scanner customs gates, and cleared customs within 15 minutes of landing.
Returned to the US, walked for 20 minutes through a maze of twisty passages to get to the customs hall, where I stood in line for another 30 minutes to get to one of a half dozen or so checkpoints where an agent scanned my passport, told me to stare at the camera, and eventually, maybe even grudgingly, welcomed me home.
Management probably giving that $0.50 bump hoping to discourage union membership and undermine their negotiating power.
Have you seen egg producer profits lately? It’s great for them to have an opportunity to find out exactly how much consumers are willing to pay for their precious eggs. Super cost efficient, for them.
The message was supposedly fine, but you can’t have it delivered by someone with brown skin.
Seriously: “the district told the Statesman that it was not the message that was at issue, but rather the hands of different skin tones on the poster.”

You can’t promise to round up and deport 10 million “criminal, illegal immigrants” without implying that all of the ~10 million undocumented residents are criminal. Unless you’ve been listening to Ann Coulter and believe there are 50 million undocumented - 1 in every 6 people in the country.
Imagine the CEO of Browning or American Rifles helping Joe Biden pick out a new gun from a display in the state dining room.
Back in the day, I set up a little cluster to run compute jobs. Configured some spare boxes to netboot off the head-node, figured out PBS (dunno what the trendy scheduler is these days), etc. Worked well enough for my use case - a bunch of individually light simulations with a wide array of starting conditions - and I didn’t even have to have HDs for every system.
These days, with some smart switches, you could probably work up a system to power nodes on/off based on the scheduler demand.
Yup. Just going by the indexes, the stock market is down all the way to last summer. It’s been a precipitous and steady drop, but if you’re a true believer, it would be easy to say it’s just giving up a little bit of Trump bubble, hope it’s almost over, and relax. After all, they’ve still got their job or most of the stock market gains collected over the last 20 years, so their immediate personal conditions look great.
Apparently, one of the things that becomes really difficult as IQ drops even a little bit below 100 is hypothetical-conditionals. Like, “How would you feel if you hadn’t eaten breakfast?” becomes, “But I did eat breakfast, and I feel fine.” So, looking at the economic disruption Trump’s causing, imagining that it could continue or get worse, and what that might mean for their personal situation can be a real, does-not-compute struggle.
Your articles seem to say that congress has periodically rearranged and eliminated “Article III courts,” recently avoiding the Constitutional crisis of not paying judges of the eliminated courts by posting them elsewhere. But I’m no lawyer, so maybe I’m misinterpreting “In 1891, Congress enacted legislation creating new intermediate appellate courts and eliminating the then-existing federal circuit courts.” and “In 1982, Congress enacted legislation abolishing the Article III Court of Claims and U.S. Court of Customs and Patent Appeals”
