Back when the COVID vaccine was new it was reasonably common to hear my body my choice in this context

With a laptop and phone which both can use it my backpack while travelling is so much lighter and less bulky. For me it absolutely was a game changer, I just don't like that I need to carry a USB a to C adapter for all the legacy USB A ports.

Not sure who would buy it full price but in most of the apps if you're not picky there's always some amount of deals to get a meal under $5. I only go occasionally as the deals aren't as good as they used to be across the board and the quality is universally terrible. Taco Bell is also its own unique thing which no other Mexican restaurant will get you so occasionally it just sounds good.

That being said in my area you can go to nearly any proper restaurant and get carry-out under $15 with Texas sized portions. As someone with an unhealthy work/life balance particularly in the evenings, this or bulk curry is how I usually eat dinner.

At least he won the popular vote, so it's well and truly want the majority (who cared to vote) wanted this time. It would be much more frustrating if he lost the popular vote like in 2016, where the minority in votes had control of house, senate and executive branches. This time it's what people wanted, and people somehow voted for fascism instead of the status quo.

Putin also was able to only serve for two terms, so he replaced himself with a crony until he could change the law to remove term limits...

NYT forecast is 90% Trump now. It's crazy that anyone would vote for him, really shows that policy plays no part in politics. It'll be interesting to see how he tears down the judicial system to remove the many charges against him.

I don't know what's up with the algorithm pushing these lately. If it's a video with 4 views from a channel with no subscribers I'm probably not interested in it. Sometimes they have a good thumbnail/title so I give them a chance but 9/10 times it's terrible. Also often extremely right wing for whatever reason.

Sounds like Russia is already expecting hyperinflation

I thought that without blocking cookies the tracking is still active, even if you're not being served ads from them. In those same LinkedIn privacy settings you're automatically opted into having your data used to train AI models.

LinkedIn has some of the most obfuscated and complex ad targeting settings I've encountered. There needs to be a retirement to have a one click solution to disable ad personalization.

I miss the old topic specific internet forums so badly, but having tons of different accounts made the barrier to entry high so I understand why they died out.

Personally I've never had any issues with lines despite living in a heavily blue district. It's worth noting that as election day gets closer more early voting locations open, voting the first day of early voting sounds like a bad idea in terms of lines. Obviously this isn't going to be the case for every district, but when only a handful of places are open for the first day of early voting it's inevitable they'll be packed.

I personally have bigger issues with the fact that the majority of polling locations are churches and that political signage is allowed outside of them.
